Dear Sony: firmware 3.00 disappointments and more |
Listed in: PSP Tags: PlayStation Store, 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!!

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.

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!!).

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.

When are you going to investigate before you post something?! According to the same mod SSLUST who told us about the 3.01 firmware (check the dutch forums once more you damn noobs) And you'll see that SSLUST, the scee employee, told us that there WILL be a download service for the psp.
Stop complaining you DAMN MORONS! Investige and read, don;t keep posting bull***** saying that sony sucks!

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

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!

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.
To the unregistered people that replied to my post by saying I am gay, you are lame. You couldn't come up with something else because I made your stupid argument crap.
Honestly, QJ readers are retarded mofo's.
Happy Thanksgiving!

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.

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?
I dont care what you think of me, but dont be a dumbass for ignoring good news and clinging to the bad.

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

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.

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.

-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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Reply
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!

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.

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.

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
