Sony: PS3 firmware 3.0 rumor untrue |

Earlier today, VG247 posted a rumor about the upcoming PS3 Firmware 3.0, which they describe as a huge overhaul for the console that will have major features just like NXE and is expected to be released before Christmas. But Sony quickly shut down the rumor and flatly denied any news pertaining to the upcoming PS3 firmware update.According to the source from VG247, the PS3 Firmware 3.0 will be a completely new system for the console and will feature a reputation system in which users will be able to evaluate each other, and will be provided for game applications. IT will also have a new API so that the user can allow other users and obtain users reputation.
A grief reporting system will also be included that will allow gamers to take screens of offensive players and submit them to Sony. The firmware will also allow patches to be downloaded in the background, meaning youÂ’ll no longer have to sit staring at the screen while Random Shooter updates itself with a 500Mb fix. A simultaneous HDMI and digital optical outputting will be included in the release.
VG247 claims they've been told that there are a lot more features and will be revealed soon. But a Sony rep released a statement and told gaming site Joystiq that the rumors are completely untrue and nothing has been announced or confirmed for the upcoming Playstation firmware, and this is just wild speculation.

If these features do make it in the ps3 I think it'll be spread out between the firmwares.
But yeah.. Hopefully I'm wrong and their just lying or decide to change up their style this time around ^.^

When a company flat out denies something it's probably not going to happen. It's when they say 'no comment' that you have to question why they didn't just flat out deny it, if it weren't true.

I'm happy about any update.. as long as it doesn't just "improve BD playback"... especially with 2.80 that was the case... i though it would be bigger since it was a jump from 2.76 (or so) to 2.80 :(

This is from the same guy correctly predicted 2.80s release date. He says 2.80 just set the foundation for 3.00. 3.00 is supposed to actually have cross-game voice chat and invites.
He then goes on to provide details on the slim. read the link.

Sony has never ever had a release on the PS3 or PSP where they've said, "Oh, this is a big change from the last release, so let's go from 1.x to 2.0 or 2.x to 3.0 unless that x.0 release coincidentally happened to fall at the same time as the next increment in their firmware numbering standards. When will you get it through your heads, people, that this is how Sony does things?
