Bout dam time they start working on the browser, though I don't expect huge changes.

And I'm confused about the PSN time thing?

SPARDA_4264461d ago

I was hoping for them to fix up the internet for quite a while now, good to now it has now been improved.

Nitrowolf24461d ago

Um WOW
I take that I don't expect anything huge back. The web browser is so much more faster
Youtube is LOTS better then before

Kevin ButIer4461d ago

Wow finally a good update...

problemchild844461d ago

Yeah fixing the browser has been long overdue, it seems to work much faster for me now after the update and www.1channel.ch actually works now on PS3!! Plus it hasn't frozen once yet since updated.

DROPBOX SUPPORT

enough said....finally a worthwhile update, SEN is finally stepping its game up bigtime

Panzerkanzler4461d ago

Dropbox? Never heard of it.

sikbeta4461d ago

Nice and all, of course better than the crap updates that didn't add s***, I'm expecting more features to be added now that Vita is coming, well I'm hoping for that :P

Masta_fro4461d ago

Youtube is STILL 240p which sucks ass!!!!

darthv724461d ago

my company uses dropbox for things. Pretty neat. It's basically a cloud storage option. You have dropbox client on your pc and can put stuff there and pull it down from any other dropbox client.

Yess this works great now. Much more support and it works alot faster. vwvortex.com ,weedblog, n4g,and smokingmeatfours all work fine on the ps3 now.

edit Youtube seems smoother and millerwelds work normal now.
edit 2 @ Godmars290... in Canada can't get hulu anyways ( at least where I am)

Godmars2904461d ago

Still, you likely wont be able to watch Hulu and if you can watch Youtube better, you wont the next day.

Downloading it now and I'm in the States.

Darth_Bane794461d ago

There is a Hulu app for the PS3 you can download for free at the PS store. It works just like Netflix

yesmynameissumo4461d ago

While Google Music now loads, you can't listen to you library via the browser. You CAN download you songs to your PS3 and play them though. WIN.

yesmynameissumo4461d ago

Just cleared cache...everything deleteable. Now Google Music Works!

FlareDReborn4461d ago

Alas one can watch porn is peace.

Darth_Bane794461d ago

You could watch porn already.. I used Xvideos, always worked.

Pushagree4461d ago

Wow n4g doesnt freeze on ps3 anymore. Web browser is 100x better now.

Dammit. I wanted to try out the browser before I updated so I know how well it works now (haven't used the browser in a couple years), but then it froze and now it's "checking and restoring file system"... Am I f**ked? I think I'm f**ked.

Anyway, it's about time that they updated the browser. I know there's a lot of people who only have a PS3 as their browser.

Edit: It seems fine now. Updating.

KUV19774461d ago

The translation of the time-thingy is terrible. There is now an option to let the PS3 auto-sync the time with the internet upon connection to the PSN.

falloutx4461d ago

The web browser is much better it hasn't frozen once since the update. Hopefully this isn't just a one time thing and they keep updating the browser.

soraalam14461d ago

Guys, for HD YouTube on PS3, check out PS3YouTube.com. You can even download any video!

Krew_924460d ago

Yeah the time was always getting messed up, you had to constantly be changing it because it moved drastically.

This new automatic time update is really helpful.

Not available in the US yet.

princejb1344461d ago

im in the us and im downloading now

jwk944461d ago

Yeah, it just went live.

ChiVoLok04461d ago

I was going to tell you it was but then I remembered I don't live in the U.S. anymore

mttrackmaster384461d ago

Was just about to play Kingdoms of Amalur, but it wouldn't let me sync my EA account(for my free dlc) before I download this big ass update. Who even uses the ps3 browser?

Arksine4461d ago

There are other reasons for the update, but the most noticable for the end user is the browser.

I think sometimes folks forget that the PS3 is also a bluray player. I suspect that most of the PS3 updates have to do with that functionality. I know my standalone bluray player requires firmware updates fairly often.

edwineverready4461d ago

I do as i don't have a pc or laptop.

Dee_914461d ago (Edited 4461d ago )

I get tired of watching porn on my laptop and at my desk.
I like to lay out on the couch , stretch,watch big booties on big tv.
And I watch movies on letmewatchthis :D

4461d ago
Allowen4461d ago (Edited 4461d ago )

The PS3 web browser used to rock (never crashed) for quite a long time but then it is atm (before fw4.10) freezing my console all the time .

I guess now I will be able to use this nice web browser once again !

BTW I don t know why people hate this WB so much since it is actually good to be used to answer e-mails , checj gaming; other news etc.
I got a PC not far away from my PS3 but I rather just use my console if I am going to check "simple " web pages.

Mugen Souls Retro Review – Sexy Demon Space Adventure

Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies20h ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken16h ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing691d 7h ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker1d 7h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo1d 7h ago (Edited 1d 7h ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing691d 7h ago (Edited 1d 7h ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos1d 4h ago (Edited 1d 4h ago )

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt19h ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken16h ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos1d 13h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto1d 12h ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger881d 12h ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

ChasterMies1d 2h ago

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.
