Dear Sony: firmware 3.00 disappointments and more

Posted Nov 23, 2006 at 7:20AM EST by QJ Staff

Listed in: PSP Tags: PlayStation Store, Sony
Ó

Dear Sony...For those who aren't in the know, firmware 3.00 has been released (a "more updated" firmware has been released to fix a bug, and it's called 3.01), and along with more stringent security measures, this firmware allows users to play PlayStation games in their PSP and PS3 connectivity, among other things. And nope, it still doesn't have homebrew support, which dampened the mood of some PSP users who were anticipating the feature.

Anyway, updating your beloved handheld to this firmware is entirely up to you, so we won't dabble on it here. But as you know, your opinion always matters to us here in QJ, so we encourage you guys to share with us your thoughts on various matters. And so, one of our readers sent in his thoughts to us AND to Sony about his disappointment with firmware 3.00.

Here's the letter Evan sent us:

I'm sure you agree that Sony's new 3.0 firmware fell far below the bar as far as everyone's expectations. It's obvious that Sony's greed has taken over its desire to please its loyal customers. This is the email I sent to Sony:

"Sony, I am disappointed. VERY disappointed. You are ripping customers off by forcing PS1 games to be loaded off the PS3. I helped make you what you are today- I have nearly 40 PS1 games in my basement that I bought, and this is what you give your loyal customers? I want to be able to get onto the playstation store FROM my psp and buy (yes, that means me giving YOU money) what I want. Look, customers want to spend money on a good service, but they won't if you are obviously pinching them for more money. I mean think about this- people are most likely going to buy a game from the P-Store that they already own and enjoy. But thats just not good enough for you; you force them to buy a 600 dollar console just to do it! Not only that, but people have been waiting for 3.0 for a long time now, and it is a true disappointment; No new functionality and more security. Besides simple aesthetic changes, no new really functionality has even been added except in the case of PS3 owners. And US users can't even get games from the P-Store yet!

By the way, I am most assuredly buying an Xbox 360 for my siblings this year. Ha, Sony's respect for their customers has fallen below Microsofts'! You have hit absolute rock bottom sony!"

I encourage you, QJ, to encourage disappointed users to contact Sony and complain. This is the ONLY way for things to improve. Post an article, point QJ users to the consumer support page, just do anything to help kick sony in the ass and propel its handheld to its true potential!

There is no reason for these shortcomings!

VIVA LA PSP!!

# You are rightGuest 2006-11-23 08:27
You are absolutely right evan. Sony is probably only thinking about the money. They make a huge hit with the psp, but they make you pay so much just to get a little fun out of it. I'm going to send the same kind of email to sony. I greatly admire your idea.

# Yeah!Guest 2006-11-23 08:36
Man, I have been a loyal Sony fan for a long time, and I still have faith in them. However, what they are doing with the PSP and the PS3 connectivity for the download of PSone games by the force of using the PS3 is absurd! I don't know what the hell they are thinking. They seem to be falling short of expectations, and the media and the customers are getting more and more pissed at Sony.



For Sony's sake and for the loyal customers, I hope Sony wisens up and start living up to expectations. They need to start thinking more about "ease of use," instead of trying to make people buy something they won't have for a while.



I would love to have a PS3, but I know I won't have one for a while, at least until next Christmas.

# sony are really QUITE STUPIDGuest 2006-11-23 08:37
here here, some of us cant afford a PS3 and a HDTV, and the PS3 is not even out in the UK so what the hell is the point in making psone games available through the ps3? Ill have to wait till march 2007 till that happens- why?Surely its making sony loose potential customers, and more hackers willing to make a homebrew psone emulator. to me sony make no sense and are just being stupid.

# really?Guest 2006-11-23 08:45
Microsoft has small customer respect ?!?! You have to be kidding me. Microsoft has always been helpful to me with my Xbox 360, the first time it broke they apologised and instead of taking it in they asked the store I bought it from if they could give me a new one and have them pay them so I didn't have to wait. Nintendo and Sony dont have this level of customer support. As well as Microsoft going out of their way to get other console exclusives on the Xbox 360 im not sure how much more respect you could have for a customer in the console business.

You people seriously are morons. You do realize you can walk in to the CEO's office and tell him you'd rather have a 360 and he will be glad to be rid of you.



If you ***** you can't afford it, and your over the age of 16, GET a Job. even at minimum wage it would only take like 2 months to have more than enough for a PS3, and HDTVs, if you shop reasonably are fairly cheap.

sony, im not being rude or anything, but you are complete *****ing ass holes!! U expect me to buy your crappy ps3, which is probally infected with sars or rabies because it is made by workers that get paid $1.73 a week.



if you dont allow us to transfer ps1 games via PC in the next month i will buy 10 nintendo wiis, just to make your rival company slightly richer. (this is funny because the wii is bull ***** and im buying 10!!).

# Stop whiningRommelTJ 2006-11-23 08:53
OMG, just wait. Sony has said that you will not require the PS3 to download ps1 games to your psp. And why are you crying when the Playstation Store doesn't even have PS1 games?



The reason you got dissappointed with firmware 3.0 is because you ACTUALLY believed all the rumors that appeared on QJ.



Sony is thinking about making money. That is what a joint-stock company does. Are you a stockholder? NO, because if you were, you'de be asking SONY to get more money.



I am almost sure that when all the good Playstation 1 games start becoming available for download, Sony will open the Playstation Store on the PSP. Until then, QUIT YOUR WHINING. Either way, if you prefer homebrew, then you will not upgrade.

# Stupid as hellGuest 2006-11-23 08:53
All though I will admit I was slightly disappointed with 3.00 myself: you, just like everyone else, will have to get over it. You will probably make no difference what-so-ever in Sony's future plans for the PSP. If you really think that you're the first person Sony has gotten a letter from then your stupider then the letter your letter.



PS. "I love how you added "I am most assuredly buying an Xbox 360 for my siblings this year."

Stop complaining you DAMN MORONS! Investige and read, don;t keep posting bull***** saying that sony sucks!

I agree with evans and all of you !

Why do we give them a lot of money ?

I bought for more than 3000 $ for UMDs, the PSP, PS2, PS1 and games ! That's why I wont buy the PS3, (Wiiiiiiiiiiii !!!).

My PSP's firmware is 3.00. That's just because I know that Dark_Alex works hard to make a 3.00 SE and all the devs are trying to hack 3.xx

some people live AWAY from home meaning over 16 and over 18. some of these people have a minimum wage, these peoiple have to pay bills which eats up more than half of a paycheck leaving you with nothing but money left for food you need for that month. I myself is one of these poor mofo's, school drains your cash flow. so why dont you try to move out? i betcha your only 17 or 18 livin at home under mom n dads roof eating mom n dads food. you my friend are a *****ing moron. btw sony if you ever read this, you have lost me as a customer, hell i was waiting for a ps3 for ages only to find out its going to be over 600 dollars.... ***** that! i bought myself a wii for 250, and gee look i have money left over!

Since when is Sony about price? Sony has always pride itself on delivering high quality products. You think a PS3 and a $600 TV are expensive, yet you bought a tiny handheld device worth over $250 when it first came out?





If the PS3 is not available in the UK yet, then don't upgrade.

I bought a PSP over a DS because i thought Sony was the better option. I was wrong.

Sony must be setting up a way of getting the PS1 games to the PSP without the use of a PS3, and at the same time try and make them unpiratable, so that you can't share them.

# Could have added....Guest 2006-11-23 09:12
a ton of stuff, like how europeans can't do anything untill next march (at the earliest), plus how homebrew is coming along soon we won't really need Sony's stuff. The PSP-X emulator is coming along nicely.



He could also have pointed out that allowing forms of homebrew can help the PSP sell by allowing more people to code for it and allow people to get some nice simple games in between playing the proper UMD games etc.



The weak point in the letter is that it touches a little bit on fanboyism "Ha, Sony's respect for their customers has fallen below Microsofts" and threatening people is never good in letters.



It's a good idea though for everyone to send a letter or email to Sony asking for the same thing, the allowing of homebrew!

# man...lordroba 2006-11-23 09:21
some of you guys really need to chill out. Just be a little more patient, and downloads not requiring a PS3 will come. Be happy for what you got. They could have stoped at firmware 1.5 and not released any aditional features at all, but somehow everyone finds something to complain about. I'm sure most of you already have a PS1/PS2, so play your ps1 games on there. It's not like they've released Final Fantasy VII for the PSP. So untill that happens, I'm sure you can find some good PSP games to play in the meantime. :P

# I'm sorry but I don't think so...Guest 2006-11-23 09:21
I really don't think that the reason that the functionality of the psp is being limited due to Sony wanting you to get a PS3. They know that they are going to sell out every system in the next 6 months, they are arrogant and *****y. I believe the true reason for not having the playstation store linked directly to the psp is where they have a lack of confidence - stealing software. Yes, they are afraid that if they offer a way to put ps1 games to the psp without another, valid, piece of hardware will inspire people to simply bootleg roms and use the emulator they spent the time to create. It's a valid fear, as most of the psp owners I know don't even buy games anymore, and that's sad. Also, the limitation of the size of the firmware has posed the new question - what the hell can be dropped so that we can run a fully operable PS Store on this handheld.



That's my 2 cents... but I am confident in my reasoning.

theyve always been complete and utter dipwads towards me with any microsoft related problem... oh your brand new Windows xp pro install cd is missing files, it must be stolen, sorry good bye. We determine that your MS Visual studio 2005 education ed is causing your computer to crash we suggest getting a new computer. (Brandnew pc custom built exceeding all qualifications for even VISTA? dont think so). Your xbox 360 has 3 red lights around the power button after you upgraded the firmware? Your 360 is overheating and freezing on you? Im sorry thats not out problem.



YOu must have gotten lucky with your problems. Microsoft is going out of its way for exclusives? yeah your right, so their console wont be a flop like the last one. Ive had better luck with Sony than microsoft and that says alot if you ask me.

# Evans is totally right!!Guest 2006-11-23 09:31
i think that evans is right and most everyone else. sony is just trying to make more money by forcing you to buy a PS3 so you can play PS1 games. i think that sony should really start to accept homebrew, because its never going to go away!! they are about to lose me as a long time loyal customer (ever since the PS1) along with so many other people because of this bulls*** they just pulled!! 600$ for a f****** console?? how much more greedy can you get sony?? plus the fact you can only get the games if you have a PS3!! i really think they should make another firmware, with EVRYTHING they have now, and along with enabling homebrew. this way, dark alex and all of the other devs can really get some amazing things happening!!



LONG LIVE HOMEBREW!!

I don't understand it guys, You pirate Iso's, claim you don't want to upgrade because of no Iso support, then when you finally have to pay for something, you go and strike at the company that brought you the system in the first place. Also, they have even said themselves, that they are working on getting the PSP Infrastructure up, so you CAN download your Ps1 games. And also, you do realize Sony loses almost $250 dollars on every console they make....While Microsoft just put a Pentium 3 in Xbox, and Pentium 4 in 360, with Westwood Digital Hard drives, and Philips Dvd Drives....Your paying for new technology. Go look in stores, Blu-ray players are over $1000 dollars, and they are giving you one for $600...Think About it please.

Sorry to inform you of this the french, but 3.00SE will need to be installed from a homebrewable PSP with kernel access, it's quite possible that it will be found, though it will probably take a long time (btw, I haven't seen any news that he has turned from 2.71 to 3.0x for SE, but I see no reason for it not to be so)

# Just wait and seeGuest 2006-11-23 09:38
I think we're jumping to a conclusion too quickly here. The PS3 and the store has barely launched. Before we say Sony is forcing us to buy a PS3 to play legacy PSOne games on a PSP, maybe wait a few weeks/months and see where this goes. I highly doubt that would purposely exclude the PSP Community. I'm thinking this was more of a poorly coordinated or planned launch more than anything. But I could be wrong. Just my thoughts here.

For the person who is 16-18, and living away from home, you should NOT be buying a gaming console. Its like people on welfare buying gold jewelry. Idiots.



If you HAD to move out, then don't buy a PS3. If you WANTED to move out, then you are an idiot for buying an expensive console that even adults find expensive. Besides, you are a loser for moving out of your parents home at 18. I bet you have a decent paying job.

ANother reason would be that downloading to a PSP takes forever, and the RAM is very small. It takes 20 minutes to stream a podcast, now imagine downloading a 500mb file!



They will make the PSx games available for download to a PC or Mac, and then you can transfer them to your PSP using a USB cable.



At least that's what I think.

# damn pickyGuest 2006-11-23 09:51
wow you people are picky about the news you read. Every single one of you see the negitive and skip the possitive. For what? bashing sony bandwagon? sure seems like it. Sony have said themselves that they are going to have it so you can only get them off the ps3 IN THE BEGINNING, then once everythings set up and worked out, youll be able to get your ps1 games straight off the site to your psp, your computer, where ever. The only reason its for PS3 only right now is to work out any server bugs and glitchs with a lower number of users putting strain on the servers. Yes it creates another incentive to get one, yes its more money, but its also bragging rights and reasonable. Like the Europeans, wait a few *****ing months, you can hold out for firmware hacks but not for a few games? Thats sad. Quit your *****ing bashing and get the news straight.



The PS1 GAMES WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR EVERYONE WITHIN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS FOR PSP, THEN WILL BE ABLE TO BE PLAYED ON PS3 IN A FUTURE FIRMWARE UPDATE. SO COOL OFF AND QUIT FORGETTING THE POSITIVES.



Its the whole tilt thing all over again, sony hinted at it in e3 2005, but people forgot about it cause of the CGI thing, so when Nintendo announced it before sony did, sony magically became a copycat. Xbots joined in with the home button (which started on the psp not your 360). The batteries, delays, ect. When will this ***** be tired of already?

So to the guy im refering to, shove a stick up your ass you silly little dyke.

The fact that sony still doesnt want to cooperate with homebrew is just stupid. now only a few ppl will upgrade to 3.01. Im sure that dark_alex will find a way to devhook it or even make a se firmware again. then ppl will use that. also the fact that we hav to buy a ps3 in order to PAY for ps1 games. i personaly wouldnt buy a ps3 just to play ps1 games on the psp, with even loosing homebrew. im not a big gamer. i only hav a kickass pc and a psp. i dont think anybody would actualy pay 600$ plus 7$ per game. i mean, there r romz pages on the net that give those files out for free. i know that thats illegal, but they cant catch everybody. im not using those pages. i mean, there are games made for the psp. y would i want to play some 20 year old game?! and even pay 600$ just so i can PAY for the games? it doesnt make sense. sony should just stop this b.u.l.l.s.h.i.t and bring out 3.2 with homebrew and abilty to pay for ps1 games and load them on the psp from the computer. what sony did with 3.01 is just stupid and not thought through propperly.

even though this comment doesnt really affect me( since im 16 + i have a job). im not willing to buy a ps3 out of the blue JUST to play ps1 games.I bought psp to use ALL of its features quite readily and not have to pay more to use more. thats like having a computer with a bunch of games, and sick apps but being unable to use it because u have to "pay more" so it is enabled.why the fuuuk wud i wanna do that? If you wanna get technical about wut u should buy for your psp then here's the list i think is most suitable:memory stick, headphones, travel case of any kind, any psp umd;games or movies, internet if you can afford it (wireless routers are cheap ppl... i got mine for 25 buks+ you can useit on your computer) and any of those mini mods. Other thngs like BUY PS3 ADN PLAY PS1 GAMES ON PSP and BUY A LOCATION FREE BOX FOR SONY PRODUCTS AND WATCH TV ON YOUR PSP is bullshiet. some of us can barely afford buying much for our psp's so why would we want to spend hundreds more to do so?think of it...

# the pastGuest 2006-11-23 10:40
what a stupid discussion.....wait for the homebrew PS1 emulator running at full speed. Than you can run all your (original??) PS1 games for free.



Have you all finished all PSP games that you own and are now so bored with your PSP that the only thing you want to do with your PSP is running PS1 games?? Sick people!!



With FW1.50 we learned not to use any Sony upgrade anymore and still all you people want to upgrade.....only for a stupid emulator to play 10 year old games, and you even have to pay for those games. Everytime the big company's like Sony say we don't buy the game but only a license to use it, but if you own a license for it Sony wants you to pay a second time...and complaining that I steal if I download an ISO to test a game cause there are almost no demo's available. Well, making people pay for a second time if they own a license for a (old) game is stealing also Sony !!



Believe in da community and not in Sony......



BTW, the PSP is a great piece of hardware, but remember that the Playstation(1) was partly developed by people who devoloped the Commodore Amiga computer, so if you want to emulate something, try PSPUAE :-)

# I agreeGuest 2006-11-23 10:42
I agree completely with this letter.

Sony has become a litle..."wierd"...since the PSP.

What's the big deal about homebrew anyway?

I mean, the PS2 had homebrew and !$0, but it only boosted the sales. The PS2 was huge. None of Nintendos consoles had a chance. And the PSP went of pretty well too, only that the sales weren't increasing as much as usual when Sony decided to block the $h!7 out of homebrew, and then the NDS (I know, no bad words, but I had to mention it :D) took over the market. Even I bought one. And I used to be a PlayStation fanboy.

# Sony is not riping you off!RommelTJ 2006-11-23 11:15
Nobody is forcing you to download or to buy anything! You whine about it, but you end up doing it. If you want great and free entertainment, there is a thing called sex.



Most of the people complaining here are 15 year olds who can barely type. Remember when the movie industry listened to your moronic complaints about the filming of Snakes on a Plane? Was it a success? No, you just kept complaining because you don't have a life. That is what happens when the industry listens to you.



Remember this: Sony is already losing money on the PS3. Just look at what a Blu-Ray Player costs at Best Buy. They are trying to please you by SELLING IT AT A CHEAPER PRICE, yet you complain because THEY ARE TRYING TO PROMOTE THEIR CONSOLE!?



Nobody is tying your hands behind your back here. Its not like you have to buy the PS3 to play PS1 games on your PSP. This is just a temporary thing, while Sony promotes their console.



Typical Americans. Me me me. Egoistic bastards. Europeans have to wait 5 months for everything and they don't complain as much as you do. And you, you want everything right away. That's why everybody in the whole wide world hates us.



If you can do a better job at it, try building your own console. In an industry where many have failed, Sony has succeeded. Now they have some real competition, and they are trying to keep on top. This is all just trials and errors. If they see that people stop buying PSP's or PS3's, then they will do something about it.



If you really want to send a message, stop buying their games, TV's, and consoles. But I know you won't, because you are just a stupid kid who gets his parents to buy them stuff.

"Nobody is forcing you to download or to buy anything! You whine about it, but you end up doing it. If you want great and free entertainment, there is a thing called sex."

-I sure hope you're not speaking to everyone when you say, "You whine about it, but you still do it." Good one. Obviously you don't think before you type, that's hardly the case you stated.



"Most of the people complaining here are 15 year olds who can barely type. Remember when the movie industry listened to your moronic complaints about the filming of Snakes on a Plane? Was it a success? No, you just kept complaining because you don't have a life. That is what happens when the industry listens to you."

-Wait, so is it people kept complaining because the movie sucked? Or people kept complaining because they have no life? Your one-liners are absolutley horrid. Now tell us to talk to your hand before stating our thoughts. You act like companies that listen to people get no where. Nice.



"Typical Americans. Me me me. Egoistic bastards. Europeans have to wait 5 months for everything and they don't complain as much as you do. And you, you want everything right away. That's why everybody in the whole wide world hates us."

Here's another "typical American response," who cares about them? We're focusing on this now because guess what.. we live here. Do you see us saying "Aw man damnit Japan!" Or is that not a typical thing to do? ; )



"If you can do a better job at it, try building your own console."

Nobody here is saying they can do better at it. Have you ever watched a movie and then left complaining because the movie sucked? Well tough *****, moron, you can't. Because your logic says, "Unless you can do better, don't speak." People are stating their opinions. Go make a huge motion picture and let me know. That logic goes along with your amazing "Get a life" comment.

-sixaxis poweroff randomly

-HDMI problems to display 720p or 1080p

-games look better in Xbox360 (RR6 vs RR7)

-more than 200 games are no retrocompatible

-PS1 and PS2 accesories don't work with PS3

# LegalitiesGuest 2006-11-23 12:22
I understand that everyone wants homebrew, and so do I (in fact I still have 1.5 just because I don't want to lose it), but there's a legal reason why they won't do homebrew. As you've seen, people have emulated SNES, NES, Genesis, etc. on the PSP. If Sony didn't do anything to try and stop that, Nintendo, Sega, or any other company can claim lost wages and wrap Sony up in a nice, long legal battle.



I'm not saying it's likely, but I think they see it as better safe than sorry.



But I do agree that Sony is messing with it's customers, which is something I don't appreciate. I'll be buying a Wii and/or a Xbox 360 before I get a PS3.

# Read My Post NOWGuest 2006-11-23 16:42
The PSP/PS3 connectivity is in it's infancy right now. We thought 32MB would suffice on the PSP designer boards. I on behalf of Sony admit that we don't give a *** about our customers. Our enemy is Bill Gates alright? Without Windows, we couldn't even have designed the PS3... Well, without making our own development environment. We don't use that Cygnus suite anymore, so we depend on our enemy to grow. The whole world loves Microsoft. I work here at Sony Computer Entertainment America, but I have a Wii and an Xbox 360. Guess what? In fact, a lot of our employees have Nintendo DS's over PSPs. By the way, DON'T DIS THE PSP ANYMORE... or.. uhh... No firmware version 3.25 next month!!! I'll F-DISK the Sony Servers... ALL OF THEM! I might get fired for saying that but I could care less because I've been in this backstabbing business for 12 years. I can EASILY get a job at uhh... Oh, Microsoft!

# My two cents...TheCheat 2006-11-23 16:54
I've been a Sony fan for a while, and I still am. Even though I am a fan, doesn't mean I can't be disappointed though, and I am to some degree. The thing about Sony making money though in this situation isn't really true at all. Sony actually loses money for every PS3 they sell, so to say that they want people to buy a PS3 just to buy ps1 games on the PS3 doesn't make any sense. It makes sense though for them to offer that function to PS3 users first though, because it may encourage a few people to pick up a PS3. Sony said that we will be able to directly download the games to the psp in time, but if they don't have that feature up an running yet, then they don't have it up and running. If they jumped the gun, they could release games that are easily shared between people and be pirated like there's no tomorrow. I think their just playing it safe at the moment, but I'd really like to see the direct downloads to the psp come soon. Homebrew on the psp is just out of the question though, as blocking it prevents viruses being spread at a huge scale...and think of this: People run isos even when Sony trys blocking out homebrew completely, so if they allowed any sort of homebrew at all, you can bet that isos would be running almost instantly....which is bad..

Obviously we all know that Sony's customer service has never been awe-inspiring, especially in comparison to their competitors at Nintendo and Microsoft.



I do believe that it is in the players' (yes, that's us) best interest to let Sony know how we truly feel about their methods regarding how we can play the games they sell. If you don't like that idea, I respect your opinion, however, disagreeing shouldn't stop anyone from speaking out.



If Sony doesn't care about the customer enough to stop trying to scam us, then that's their loss. People will boycott through Wii sales, most likely.

# Please, if u read only 1 post here, read mine.Guest 2006-11-23 17:28
I would have thought ppl would stop upgrading by now, I only had to downgrade once to learn my lesson (over a year ago from 2.00 to 1.50 cuz my PSP came with 1.52) I can't believe ppl are seriously still upgrading, especially with site like this posting all the hacking goodness (hey they are right 85% of the time, that's not so bad.) IMHO opinion, the so called "hackers" are actually programming geniuses. They do better work than sony. Dark Alex, zx-81, NJ, and lots of others, put in better work than SOny, and they sure as ***** care alot more about the customers than Sony's programmers (note: not sony in general, yet as of late i wonder...) And I know alot of naysayers are talking about that whole "well you can't do any better," yeah, its true and you are right,but alot of these talented homebrew developers can. SO stop supporting Sony, and start supporting devs and the community. Once Sony shows us the level of respect, and gives us as much for the PSP as these few brave devs have, then they can earn (or win) themselves back alot of customers. I know alot of you guys are gonna be pissy cuz u upgraded, but I know you can sympathize with my sentiments in general. $ony cares about it's money. Sony used to care about it's customers alot, more so infact than any of its competitors, but those days are long lost to the tyranny of sony finding new ways to stop us from getting what we want from our PSP's. I gaurantee that if sony put money into alllowing homebrew(even if it suspended ISO loading) they would start moving alot more units, and gain back alot of respect from their loyal customers who love the community. Until that day comes, I will always have DevHook, and it's predescessors (and ancestors.) I hope sony will come out and listen to us, its patrons, rather than its money grubbing stockholders who dont think like gamers, but rathjer make suggestions to server the company fiscally. We need to let sony know. They are nothing without us. Rember that.

# missed the pointGuest 2006-11-23 18:10
Most of you guys missed the WHOLE point of the letter. It wasn't about him whining about the games. Just the whole firmware upgrades. When has there been an upgrade with a significant change? About 90% of the firmwares was just to block homebrew. That's just pathetic. The PSP can do so much with homebrew, but Sony keeps on blocking it and making worthless upgrades.



Look at the bigger picture. versions, 1.51, 2.01, 2.5, 2.7, 2.71, 2.81, 2.82. Can we all agree that these firmwares didn't provide a significant upgrade? These were only meant to block homebrew. They came out with some other features just to cover their tracks.

# Do you think sony reads this forum?Guest 2006-11-24 03:01
and if they did you think they care if your buying a wii.. WHat away to show sony!! lets go buy the cheapest consoule out their .. that will show them... Yeah right.



Sony could care less if you buy a ps3 or not, facts are they sold out of everyone they currently had in stock. And are already sould out of the preorders for the next shipment... So you not buying a ps3 willnot hurt their pockets trust me.

because everyone else still will buy them up.



Sure sony are *****s, but if you where the owner of sony you wouldent want people running unsigned code on your motherboards!



I tihnk sony "should" come to relize we want homebrew, they should even release their own sdk, Ofcorse disableing the option of iso loading to prevent all you pirate's from stealling what they strive for "money"





I think if it wherenot for priateing the games sony would care less about homebrew.



They figured out away with the ps3, to stop priateing but allow homebrew, but that could change too...

Just like the ps2, their was a linux option and all that however sony removed it from the market

once they relized they may have opened a new world of pirateing for the ps2.





my point is dont buy a crappy system just because sony pisses you off,

if your really pissed then just dont buy the ps3, but dont waste your money on some crappy console just cause its 1/2 the price as im sure it will not even compete with the ps3.

# yesGuest 2006-11-24 03:10
they will have a certifacte that will allow the game to only be played on 1 psp.(from what i heard)





however this is the kinda behavior i expect from some open source community, not SCEE an empire non the less.



Sony should have had this all worked out and inplace before the ps3 launch and before the psp 3.0 FW upgrade.



I tihnk sony should have provided an option to create eboots for ps1 games you "already own" via the ps3, I personally am not gonna shell out any more bucks on games i already own for the ps1 consoule. I got over $1000 in ps1 games as it is. They should at the least let us "trade in disc" for an eboot version or something!



This is why im staying with 1.5 forever!

# Sony *****'d up.Guest 2006-11-24 03:15
Yeah, I agree. Sony really *****ed up with this, they make you buy a $600 ps3 to download ps1 games to the psp. And most of the time the only way to get a ps3 now is if you buy it from amazon for around $2000 .. YES, 2k. Who the hell would pay that much to get a few ps1 games for the psp and I heard they take like an hour or 2 just to download. Wow sony, just wow. I'm about to buy an xbox 360, mostly because its only around $300! ***** YOU.

It's official: PSP is in big trouble. Most Japanese hardware sales are going to go to DSL, PS3, and Wii very soon, which is going to take a lot of attention away from the already fading PSP, and 3rd parties are going to leave it very quickly.



If sales don't improve big time like now, I don't think PSP will be here this time next year.

Who the ***** really uses their PSP on the go anyway? Except for music but you can just use an mp3 player for that.

The reason they are doing this is because if you could download directly to PSP then one person could download a game, then post it online. It would fail as fast as anything else with the PSP thanks to piracy. This is the only way to ensure that most people wouldn't do that.

I'm pretty sure most companies out there are looking to make money. You bought the PSP for $250 knowing what it did. Anything Sony added in updates was extra, and not to mention free so stop complaining and be happy they even give us new features.

"M$ has no business in the console biz. They are f-ing it up like they have f-ed up the rest of their empire. I'll stick with my 5x more powerful PS3. I'm loyal to sony because they rock!



You want PSOne games? Come over to my house and I'll let you load them on your PSP. But don't go and become a butt pirate! You're only hurting yourself."



Stupidest, Sony fanboyish post ever. If you support Sony in any way, shape or form, you are an idiot. No ifs or buts. A stupid retard that only wants to play NFS or Pro Evo. Only fat, talentless imagination-free b4st4rds support Sony or buy their products. Your loyal to Sony because they rock? If Sony had never got in the console business then games and the gaming industry would have advanced alot further and we wouldn't have all the absolute *****e that Sony's third party (and first party) companies pump out, only caring about money and not their customers. 5x more powerful but 10x more expensive? And a load of complete *****e as launch titles and a complete copy of the Wii controller make you think Sony rock. Away you go with your PS3 while us real gamers play real consoles. Funny how the PS3 is last in the console sales and always be. Can't you think of a reason for that. Well I'm done with ranting because I can't express myself mono-syllabically enough for you to understand.

there are millions of other ways to promote a console but why even try them on one thats destened to fail blu ray is a good concept but the kinks need to be worked out right now the laser goes hopelssly out of allignment if you breath on the casing to the console to hard bady sont should just focus on impriving cds rather than going to somthing years ahead of its time

i hate the idea that u need to purchase a ps3 to play ps1 game on ur psp. I think what sony should of done was AFTER the relase of the ps3 they should of introduced the psp as an accessory. Thats all its going to be nowadays with the ps3 being in your living room. The psp will be the travel accessory with the ps3 as its base station (sorta).

# I don't understandGuest 2006-11-24 14:33
Homebrew can do so many things...make the psp a computer, make games, make programs-this is partly why I bought a psp, because there was a possibility. It's not just us from QJ.net who know about this, it's nearly EVERY psp user. I personally feel letdown after waiting months for a new firmware-3.00, to see it with some new aesthitics and some things I can't even use(ps1 emulator)(camer a). I was expecting an organizer, password protection (when it turns on), *homebrew, more codecs, updated flash, Java(not javascript), and some other things. If they run out of space, why not expand to the memory stick. We need to start complaining to Sony about this. They are rapidly becoming my most hated brand, they have always given less than we want, or something different than what we wanted-like ps3, I didn't ask for Blu-ray, I didn't ask for an unaffordable 500-600$ price tag, I didn't ask for a "super console"-all I wanted is some innovations. Innovations do not have to be technologically advanced, just fun(i.e. wii). I am regret that I even downloaded it in the first place...

# PS3 dominates Xbox 360Guest 2006-11-24 15:17
People complain about a system that costs more, yet does waaaaay more than the xbox. People are over looking the fact that the ps3 is 20x better than the 360. First off, the 20gb ps3 is only $100 more than the 20gb xbox 360. And no kidding, i mean, theres no comparison. The ps3 has all these capabilities, and their only charging $100 more. They would be stupid to charge any less; they're already losing more than $200 per system. If you people love the 360 so much, go out and by one; meanwhile I think I'll enjoy the console with better graphics, 3x the memory, internet browsing, and sooooo much more. Not only that, but have you seen the 360 go down in price yet? Noooooooo. Has the PSP gone down in price yet. Yes. Sony will drop the price of the console a lot sooner than xbox probably. If you're complaining about the price, then wait, or sell your old ps2 and games or something. You'll see; the ps3 owns, no dominates the 360 in every catagory. Good job Sony!

# Now we're comparing the PS3 to the wii? LOLGuest 2006-11-24 15:36
How is it last in sales when they are sold out you moron. Its called there were only 400,000 units sent to the U.S. while there were like 3x the amount of nintendo junk sold. If you like the wii so much, go out and buy one. It sucks. Have you seen the graphics? Not to mention the capabilities...........hardly none. And once again the PS3 is not as expensive as you people think they are. If you would just sit down and think of what all the ps3 can do....It's the console eveyones been dreaming about for years. You enjoy your little nintendo. Ill take the good console-The one and only PS3.

# just stop whining everyoneGuest 2006-11-24 16:38
Look I see it like this. Sony is doing a Great job with there consols and thats the truth and i'm shore everybody would agree with me there. The one dude had a good point. Sony is not forcing us to buy anything. Has anyone ever thought of just playing the games they bought with there hard earned money, (or through some parents who spoil there snotty *****y kids) and just stop complaining. And to the one dude who had a point screw you to. Alot of these people are just calling you gay because a. They are actually gay b. they have no lives and they have to dwell on every mistake sony makes or c. they just want to ***** about something besides there rich snooty panents not buying them that new $600 PS3 system and there taking it out on every one eles. Whats the matter dude who made a good point. Actual intellagence is not what these replies and forems are about. There for *****y little imature babies who just want something to complain about.

# sony=disapointmentGuest 2006-11-25 17:15
fck sony thats why the wii is gonna win. ps3 is gonna be the gamecube of sony, just watch. with the psp all the good ggames are remakes and that pisses me off. they cant even make a game like final fantasy for it instead they annonce they are remaking FF7 and making us pay $40 for it. thats just rediculius. i spend more time on my ds than on my psp. i spend more time on my gamecube than ps2 (ps2 is crap, it cant read games like every three years u own it). and now i havent even considered buying ps3 but i got my Wii in my living room right now cuz nintendo sure can make your money worth while. i used to be a sony fan but when i see things like this i see that their just in this for the money. they dont care about their fans.

# sorry butGuest 2006-11-29 04:46
'Have you all finished all PSP games that you own and are now so bored with your PSP that the only thing you want to do with your PSP is running PS1 games?? Sick people!!'



simple answer... yes i have and i own 9 games, psp games tend to be too short or get boring quickly (GTA LCS... bored me after a week)



I hardly use my psp these days, when i first got it i used it all the time, now i dont even use it as an mp3 player, my PDA does a much better job (and the PSP volume is crappy)



PS1 emulator on 3.01 without using the ps3 will come, and lets face it being a euro person i wouldnt actually get to buy a ps3 till july/august 2007 (they will be sold out for at least 4 months after launch) and by that point im sure sony will have sorted the downloads to not need to use the ps3.



Either way until theres some decent ps1 emulation my psp will stay on a shelf gathering dust (and yes you may all scream use the homebrew... but homebrew gets freaking boring after a few months, i mean sure its cool to watch videos, but its also much simpler to watch them on a pda... homebrew does get boring and v quickly!)



so to sony from me i would say, bollocks to homebrew just give me FF7/FF8/FF9 on ps1 emu for psp! oh and maybe the crash bandicoot games please! i dont mind waiting a while as long as i know it will happen!



oh and another thing, as mentioned earlier, jesus americans on here whine so much about everything! i mean why cant you all either use your psp legally or learn manners/patience!



Thanks
