post something if your not sure about? aughhhhhh
I cant access my SD card from that photo gallery or am i doing somthing wrong? like i can copy all the pics from it to my hdd but thats stupid, I dont want to waste all that time, for a temporary thing
divx 3.11 support ?! seriously, who in the world would use such and old codec?
somebody, tell me it's a joke, or a version typo.
not sure if this is the same, but on my pineapple express blu-ray.
under game it has a "theme" which is just a wallpaper.
i have yet to download this update but i wonder if it will add more to that "theme"
"HDD Data can be accessed and deleted in-game" huh? what does this even mean? i could access stuff before (well see it at least) can i actually view photos/videos/ PLAY MUSIC ?!
i don't understand
It's working! I'm playing Motorstorm and listen music from the hd!!Try it!

i think they mean that you could access the system folder on the xmb bar when your playing a game, because if you want to delete a file of a game it prompts you to get out of the game to do that option.
I don't know what you did but I tried playing MGS4 and play music but it wouldn't let me.
sry....I try some other games and it only worked with motorstorm. don't know if it has something to do with the update......
Motorstorm 2 has always been capable of ingame music, not sure about the first one though
"3-D Secure Support
Improved System Stability"
sweet! just finished playing SKATE 2
*demo*
its like it didnt even skip!
takin the piss?
someone who reads the article might know about it.
I think it means that you can like delete messages, photos, etc. while playing a game. Before you could browse the XMB and see your music, but you couldn't delete them...
the ability to play a vid in the background like it used to be, now it automatically pauses wen i go to xmb
they've done this with every update i can remember not tell us what were fully getting the likelihood is there's a lot of other changes they've made we haven't even noticed
They removed Backward Compatibility for the PS2 so they can add backward compatibility for old video codecs, next update will have WMV 5 codec set. XD
i think you still can watch videos playback on the xmb but only if those are online videos and you're watching them in the internet browser, i'm not sure if blu-ray and dvd videos still play in the background or not.
No it doesnt. I just tried with MotorStorm 1, it does not work.
There should be a setting to choose in the menu. That would make everyone happy!
So for example if it was the Dark Knight once we start the movie and we go into the Special Features on the disc there will be a Playstation 3 Theme opition and when you click on it, it will ask you if you want to download the theme to your PS3 & when you click yes it download’s and installs the theme for you & even chooses the theme for you so once you are finished watching the movie when you go back to the XMB it will have that theme already applied.
Pictures supported in the new photo app are only those stored on the PS3 itself. Also doesn't work with DNLA networked media. Bad move for Sony, it's a fantastic app (granted one that only certain people will care about) but most who would use it would stick in their camera card so what's the point? Hopefully the app will get a patch to become more functional.
You've been able to have a custom soundtrack in select games ever since in-game xmb update.
-memory card, usb support
glad I have the launch 60 gig
I'm going to check this out and see if I have similar results! I'll let everyone know as well. Thanks skate4life!
I jumped into the skate 2 demo and went into party mode. I didn't see any skipping and I played for about 6 minutes... if you have played the skate 2 demo before you may have noticed some skipping in that time - I did.
Anyone else see this change?
it's a game feature!
Is that a question or a comment?
I've just noticed you can now delete music while playing music (obviously not deleting what you are currently playing)
Previously, the music would stop when you select and delete something else.
But the xbox 360 can play music while playing a game (sad)
Micro$oft has a patent on in-game music. The PS3 could handle in-game music without problems, but M§ won't them integrate it.
HDD access support in games mean that someone *cough* Paradox *cough* will probably figure out some way to access the internal HDD for doing wicked things. Don't expect to see anything right now though since nobody has really figured out how to poke around in there but still, this extended support means it might be possible to find a new exploit. Here's to high hopes.
BTW, hey i'm not supporting piracy. I strongly believe that you should support your console by BUYING games for it. I just believe you should be able to develop for the system as long as it's within tolerance and respect for the people who worked very hard to make the console that we all love. Emulators of course would be fantastic. I'm not bothering with running Linux on my system. I tried this once and it was so slow that it made my eyes bleed. Such a waste of a powerful console to lock up the RSX chip and the other SPU's. Why Sony? Why?
What MS patented wasn't in-game music, but the mandatory support
of in-game music on all titles. That's why Sony leaves it to the devs and it's the only way to get around it; they just enabled it to be used in a FW update.
hey guys i fount this weird feature on the ps3 its says PENATRATE i clicked on it and then this strange gas started coming out of my ps3 the next thing i knew i woke up bent over naked bleeding from my ass i was like wtf it was weird honestly
i thought the theme feature was like when you go over a game thats in your drive a backround comes up and plays music
you must have bought the one sony sent to microsoft lol
Hey guys, just downloaded & installed the new update for my bro's 60 gb launch PS3 n for some reason it's not reading the disc's anymore.... Mine works fine even tho I've updated to 2.60 but it is a 40gb model.... I doubt it has much to do with that model it is but I was wondering if you guy's have had similar problems.....?
It could be the account management features that have vastly improved
