Rumor: PlayStation 3 firmware 1.90 to carry new music play option?

PlayStation 3 - Image 1We've got another rumor alert for the PlayStation 3 owners, and it deals with our favorite topic - new firmwares. As guys over at the Blu-Ray and PlayStation Forums have been discussing, there's ongoing speculation that a PS3 from the recent E3 2007 was running on the yet-to-be-released firmware 1.90. Even more interesting is that this new firmware supposedly adds an option to select music while you're playing.

Given it's a rumor, we can't really verify if this is true, although it will be remembered that SCEA Senior PR Manager Patrick Seybold recently did state that we'll be getting more info very soon. Stick around for this week, and hope that Mr. Seybold makes good his statement.

Kudos goes to Dr. Egg for informing us of this rumor.

» Its fake......this is what patrick seybold from the ps blog had to say about this.

"I can%u2019t verify that the %u2018your music%u2019 screen is real. It%u2019s obviously not a great shot, and I was at just about every kiosk during E3 and didn%u2019t see anything like that on any unit we had there, and yes, I helped set them up, so I would definitely have seen it. I think it is an artists creative expression for what they want..We will definitley have more info on the firmware updates here very soon."

» might be

a good update for some of my PS3 brothers but to me, personally, it's a useless one.



still doesn't hurt to have the option available for PS3 users, an improvement in whatever shape or form is an improvement still.



keep up the good work Sony and can't wate to fire up my big bad brute and get this new firmware.

» I'll say it again

Singstar (music downloads) and Home are the only things to worry about when it comes to firmware.

by mitch - 2007-07-22 15:37
» what are you talking about

how would a firmware update create music downloads for singstar?

» My gosh

Yourse it's true.

Is that so spectacular?

BTW this is old "news"!

And you won't be able to play music

in your "old" games like DefJam or Resistance because they don't support that feature.

by Boricua - 2007-07-22 18:12
» and...

with an update of the game will no let it work?... anyway is just to have access in game of the xmb or just an option for music and buddy list and message... the music in game is useless to me.. but a lot of people really want it... I just want access to my buddy list and message... glad that resistance give that option in the last network update... cool if u play online but dad when u just play it offline...

by DK - 2007-07-22 18:19

» more xbox fans??

not that easy especially when the society recognizes the value of education and staying in school... that means less morons like you.



ofcourse people can always do drugs and get wasted enough to get an xbox.



besides everyone here in Qj, from the PS3 fans to the Wii boys and even the XBots, knows that you are the stupidest idiotic imbecile here... as i said you must have been an aborted baby but still lives.

It doesn't it sets the foundation to make it possible which is why you'll see the next few firmwares focus a lot on music.

» Xbox Fantards

Im always skimming through QJ.net, not PS3.QJ.net and u hav to admit. Playstation is getting a lot more (positive)news than the x360.



In reality, 360 owners don't want their 360 to become the next Dreamcast

» The best part

I love that the 360 blog is totally empty. The very few fans of the 360 around here seem to troll on the PS3 forums. Truly pathetic. What probably happened is people lost interest after they got a red ring of death. All but one of my 360 owning friends are on at least console 2 or went to PS3 (most did this after realizing their mistake). Maybe when MS gets their stuff together I would be interested in buying one. As for now though, I would say anyone knowing the low quality of the 360 product would be an idiot to portray them as a superior product. Truly that person would be devoid of any common sense.

by Logic - 2007-07-23 21:32
» That show

Actually the show was more like 360. Great when it first came out and a lot of red neck imbreds loved it. Then it starting failing for a lot of people so they recalled it. There was too much smoke and lights (red ones for the 360) and not enough real content. The market rejected it and the fans had to go somewhere else. For you thats the PS3 boards.
