Firmware Update: PS3 FW 1.90 goes live in Japan, lots of changes made |
Listed in: PS3 Tags: Japan, XMB
Ó
Just a few hours ago, we reported on a rumor about the new PlayStation 3 FW 1.90. QJ tipster, Not A Tad Bit gave us a heads up on the features that are included in the latest firmware update released first in Japan.
The information comes straight from Zoople and Game Watch (so please forgive the semi-Engrish Google translations of the features). From what we can understand from the translations, the PS3 FW 1.90 goes live tomorrow in all other regions and will sport a number of new features like customization options for the wallpaper in the cross media bar (XMB) and fonts. Another interesting feature comes in the form of Home Chat - users can attach a USB keyboard and chat with friends. Playback quality of music CDs also get a level up with a output frequency options.
The other features include:
- Games on the XMB can now be sorted
- Inclusion of "eject disk" on the option menu
- BD/DVD setting now provides an option for 24Hz output over HDMI
- CD music output also has new options for output frequency: 44.1, 88.2, and 176.4 kHz
- Output settings will be available for PSOne and PS2 games.
- Bookmarks can now be added
- Browser Security will be added to the tools of the PS3 internet browser
- Video settings can be changed in-game
- Music settings now include "Bit Mapping"
- Emoticons and avatars are included in the chat, avatars move in reaction to audio in AV chat
- AVCHD type animated pictures can be saved from Memory Sticks

Nothing of intrerest...
Give us in game XBM for god sake!!!
Sony, buy an Xbox360 and learn how to code a good online functionality!
Ability to interact with my friends list is the thing I miss most when playing on my Ps3 after using my 360...

I personally like that fl0w theme. I would so use it if it actually moves around and eats the icon when I select it.

I still think the concept could be cool though, but we'll have to wait and see when it goes live.

Mr.realy no common sense,would you mind explaining why did you come here,and what good is your presence in the forums ???
what does your stupid comments have anything to do with the thread ??? do you have a PS3 to keep asking Sony for things ??? would you mind explaining whats wrong in a free service with Ads ??? specialy when compared with another Paid-service with Ads ??
seriously,as one poster mentioned,you need immediate help,i can only conclude that you are a Microsoft stock holder or someone who was fired from Sony [probably for stealing pop-corn from kids]
we dont need you to come and troll here,i will take a free service everyday over any Paid-crap,Home is a great feature and is only the start for what to come [endless possibilities]
leave this place......no one wants you here,i seriously think you,r mentaly ill

I personally can't wait for this firmware. Finally get to add my own background image. I can wait for In-game XMB until Home comes out. They kinda showed some progress on it at the E3 conference I attended :)

You complain about Home having advertisements... yet it is free, they need some way to make revenue, that way they could continue to provide with such a service at no cost to us.
XBox Live however... they ARE receiving revenue. This if when stupid people like you PAY THEM $50 a year for a service that provides MUCH LESS than Home will be offering, yet at the same time they shower you with advertisements as well.
Pretty much, you pay $50 a year for a ad filled service that provides you with the ability to pay for downloads and updates. Sorry, I think I got lost at the "pay for the ability to pay while we still shower with ads"...
I pay 0$ a year for an ad filled service that allows me to pay for downloads while at the same time provides an Online community and well... a Web Browser???
I just don't see where your argument is...

you will go to a website that will show you how to sign up for another website that pays you 2 - 45$ (PER) to do surveys, sign up for trial offers, and test products.
Companies such as ebay pay CC to have people try their offers, and when you complete an offer, CC simply passes the money onto you. By spending an average of 3-4 hours a week on CC, I have made 472$ in May, 412$ in June, and 271$ (SO FAR) in July. You get paid in real checks from "KNGSIDE MEDIA" every month that you earn 10 dollars or more. It may seem too good to be true,
but I assure you it IS true. Also, with their referral program, you can refer people by sending them your link (you get when you sign up) and for every buck they earn, you get 20 cents also! (Think how much money you can make if you have 100 people making five bucks a day)
You do not have to enter your credit card or social security number. Nothing Harmful can come from CC. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE 18 OR OLDER, I AM 15 YEARS OLD AND REFERRING PEOPLE, AND I MAKE THIS MUCH MONEY A MONTH
JUST SPENDING A COUPLE MINUTES A DAY ON THE COMPUTER! THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR READING THIS.
Think it's a scam? Read this(from the website) "We assure you that this is not a scam! Companies need consumers to try and review products, services, and websites and are willing to pay money to have them do so.
Most of the time you're asked to do this without any compensation, what we do is take the money companies give us for YOUR participation, and give you back up to 75% of it!"
There are alot of websites like this, I have tried almost all of them and this really is the best, and legit one.In addition there is a new UK section opened with more then $200 worth of free offers!

That reminded me of the chapelle show episode with Rick James "I would never put my feet on someones couch. Yeah I put my feet on his couch"
Wow. Not much common sense there. I guess Logic supersedes common sense.

Something like an in game XMB where you can then message, voice chat and play music is something that you have to plan for and build your entire system around, like MS did.
It will be VERY hard for PS3 just to implement it, and you migt see just text chat at first and progressively get all the option, or it may never happen.
As is the PS3 XMB uses 64 megs of ram while games are playing....that's without the ability to text or play music....maybe it's just not possible without useing 128+ megs of ram and therefore would be too much of a performance hit....
Obviously if it was a simple addition it would have happened already...like the background dowlnloading...

Stop being such a troll.

Home will be free! Some of the services that it will provide won't be free but Home itself will be. I don't see a problem with using a free service to distribute paid content! Pay for what you want to and leave the rest alone!
What is so hard to understand about that? If your nick really described you it wouldn't be that hard to understand.

Actually, I DO take the trouble to read through your posts, only to be disappointed 99% of the time with the feeling that I wasted a few minutes of my time wading through some more of your mindless, pointless trolling.
Seriously, what is it with you? Are you THAT worried about your MS 360 losing out and that you won't get all good games? Or are you really, as posited by many people here, an MS employee or someone with a vested interest (other than just fearful for their 360) in Sony's failure?

"I don't even care about PSP firmware updates, as all they do is add more security to prevent homebrew" - that's because you don't have a ps3. Remote play is great, and has only gotten better over the last 6 months because of the useless updates!
" since security is one thing sony does well (lucky you)," - yep, that's why I can browse the web and run a file/media server with no worries.

Everyone in here has had the balls raged off them by one guy, Mr.Common Sense...pretty sad. He's another QJ fanatic bent on pushing his beliefs across the board like that other character x-man, people would get so raged by his comments that they'd go under his name and post silly childish remarks to try and make him look dumb and foolish and now everyone is going after this guy.
He says what he says because he knows how easily raged all your ps3 fans get when an xbox fanboy comes in and diss you're system. you guys make it all to easy for him. He says the same stuff everyday, every week, every month and you keep going for it. I laugh @ you guys, seriously.
I'm a PS3 fanboy and an xbox fanboy, I've never been offended by any other fanboys comments regarding either system because they're just silly jealous spite full & meaningless remarks made by insecure people who don't honestly know or think their team has the upper hand in this console war, most of them only have one console or the other too so it's natural for them to attack what they think they know but don't.
they'll claim to know everything good and bad about either but they really don't their just riding the hate train coast to coast totally clueless as to why, wasting their time trying to prove a point that can't be proven.
When I see comments like that people like x-man and common sense make I just laugh. x-man was better @ fanboyism more so than mr.common sense though tbh, I mean I don't know if he's still around here but people posted some funny ***** under that dudes name because they were so PISSED off @ the things he said.
good on you x-man...

i recently bought a 19" HDTV imported from china, basic brand name, cost only 250 dollars, which luckily supports supports all ps3 video option up to 1080p. purchased a Playstation Card worth 3000 yen and bought Super Star Strike (Dust) HD for 800 yen, converts to around 6.50 US dollar only. i dont plan to use wifi, i have a USB multi card reader, i plan to buy the maximum HDD available later, 160gb as of now which is still small for me cause i have 1TB on my PC. all i am waiting now is GTA4, MGS4, SSF2THDR, FFXIII and those Sony first Party games. Im a very Happy Sony Gamer! and your common senses doesnt compare to mine, maybe its because i have common sense and intelligence!
for stupid people:
PS3 HOME - is a FREE Full 3D S.N.S. M.M.O. like GUI Software for the PS3 to spice up/enhance the USE of XMB, PSN and all the other features of PS3.
The one thing im sure of is MS has prepared 1.xx Billion Dollars for all the Xbox 360 that will have the red rings of death within 3 years, with that large amount it just simply means they are anticipating each and every xbox 360 to red rings. i feel sorry for all you people who are gonna have to send your console away for few weeks while everybody else is having a blast playing games, like us!
