PS3 FW 2.4 video walkthrough & Official announcement on the 30th of june

consoul @ neogaf said that the video walkthrough will be out on the 30th

he is a well known trusted source so this is pretty much official

[Silogon]

Alright, so we have 5 days to get our new complaint list in order so we can attack Sony's blog in unison, alright!!!!!

Anyways, I am glad Sony has finally got us to this stage but I hope they don't stop here. I hope they continue to evlove the ps3/the xmb & the psn store for us.

[pwnsause]

jeez you were complaining for a while. if theres any complaint that i have its the lack of content on the PS store

[ATLRoAcH]

You are Gamesblow aren't you? Admit it. I know you are. I'm on the PS Blog all the time and I can just tell you're him. The one on the Blog anyway.

[RevN8r]

Only 5 days left! Ok, it's unlikely the update will actually come on the 30th as well, but at least we have something to look forward to! I'm excited!

[pharmd]

any update is a good update =D

[thePatriot]

you cant have a walkthrough without the update. did the new store walktrough came before or after the new store came out?

[TheHater]

it came out before the store update. About a week before the update.

So does that mean that the 2.4 update is going to come out about a week after the video?

[pwnsause]

no it would come out on the same week as the video

[Ri0tSquad]

Feels good to know I'm not the only one who thinks that Silogon is Gamesblow.

[pwnsause]

it is gamesblow man, you know its him, what happened gamesblow, did you get banned by "revealing" too much? thats why you have to hide your identity?

[ATLRoAcH]

I don't think he is gamesblow, I know it. I'm here to call him out with proof. Oh this is sweet. Okay here is the proof.

A quote from gamesblow on the PS Blog:

"As for what I want out of in game xmb is simply the option to switch resolutions on the fly. going from 720P to 1080p at will when I want cause Warhawk and Uncharted for instance are 2 games that look and play better, to me, in 1080p but right now you have to manually do it everytime you want to play."

http://blog.us.playstation....

A quote from Silogon on N4G:

"Hmmm, seems a bit odd doesn't it? I guess it could be alright, but I didn't see the option to toggle resolutions in game there. That's going to be a bummer as that was my main function most wanted.

Really, do I wanna play "the nothing song" while playing Resistance 2? No. not really, but what I would of liked is the option to switch to 1080P from 720P on games that allow it like Uncharted and Warhawk for instance. Without backing out of the game and going to your settings and what not. It becomes a hassle."

http://n4g.com/NewsCom-1613...

Sound similar? These two are more than similar, they're one in the same. I told him to admit it and he didn't. I brought the proof. There it is. lol

[xsteinbachx]

I messaged that gamesblow way back when the sameone on the PSN. Heres my message I received.

"Re: youtube.
From: gamesblow

* Remove gamesblow from Friends
* |
* Ignore gamesblow

Date: 05-31-2008 04:11 PM
Wrong gamesblow, dude. I've been wanting know myself and everyone keeps messaging me thinking I am him. I'm the gamesblow from the sony blog "omegaknowsitall" from gamefaqs me and gamesblow go way back. He's started working for Sony's sales department at their sandieago studio and that's the last I heard.
"

[ATLRoAcH]

I know he is not the original gamesblow. This guy has admitted that before. I'm just saying the one on the PS Blog now and Silogon are the same person. Although it has been so long I forget who the real gamesblow is.

(edit)
@ butterfinger

Yeah, gamesblow was REALLY full of himself. I remember him trying to get his myspace blog stuff approved on N4G. He always talked about how he was the great gamesblow and all that. I always knew he was full of sh!t.

[butterfinger]

Does anyone remember when Gamesblow "confirmed" that In-Game XMB was coming out months ago? He said something like "Next week, In-Game XMB. It's already up and running." What a dumbass. It seems as though he thought he knew more than he actually did and now he is no more helpful than anyone of us.

@above - Gamesblow is pretty much a laughingstock now in my eyes, and I'd say the title is well-deserved:)

[Ri0tSquad]

Caught. No way out of this.

[xsteinbachx]

He was just as much correct as Sev is. Basically they're both full of sh*t.

[butterfinger]

is that Gamesblow was an arrogant a$$hole about the information he provided. He attacked other "insiders" and poked fun at their fans. Sev is generally well-mannered and tends to look at things on a more even keel. I just find it funny that Gamesblow is basically nothing now compared to what he was trying to be. "New Sony-backed website May 15th, no May 25th, no June 3rd!" lol. These "insiders" need to understand that their information is generally subject to change, and they need to be more humble in case it does. I always get a sense of attitude from whoelse when people don't believe his claims, and where is 2.4 now? We know the update is coming, and we know it will be soon. These dates are just frustrating in the end.

[LinuxGuru]

Whoa there Steinbach.....Sev is not full of sh*t.

He's the most level-headed person you could ever expect to meet in any form of gaming media.

I've only worked with him at playstationlifestyle.net for a very short time, but I'll tell you right now, Sev and his blog (pslifestyle) are anything BUT full of sh*t.

You can't possibly know him until you work with him.

[ATLRoAcH]

You can't compare gamesblow and Sev. Sev isn't an a$$hole like gamesblow. Sev is pretty straight up with you at least. He always stresses that his info is rumor until confirmed. I don't remember gamesblow's Myspace blog getting hits and mentions from other sites like Sev's site. Sev was also invited to E3 so I'd say he has surpassed gamesblow to a pretty far extent.

(edit)

@ butterfinger

Yeah he has always gotten under my skin on the Blog. The way he is a Sony fan but always hates on Sony is what made me think they were the same person. They both have that split personality/bipolar thing going on. They're just too similar. Oh and yeah, I can't help but laugh myself. It really is pretty funny.

[butterfinger]

I just read your original proof post about Silogon/Gamesblow, and I must admit I believe you are correct. Even the avatar is similar to what gamesblow had on N4G before, and both of them always bring up Uncharted on the PS3 like it is the greatest gift to gaming ever made. Gamesblow is a total joke now, and I truly can't help but laugh. The constant commenting on nearly every article is pretty similar to gamesblow's style on the blog as well. This kid truly has no life whatsoever.

[Shadow Flare]

What makes me think Silogon is Gamesblow is because he uses that same stupid avatar as him with that idiot Qbert thing, but i sort of think he may be that person who used to be on n4g called Lightning cos both Lightning and Silogon have serious bi-polar disorder. Im not even joking i really think they do have bi-polar disorder. One day silogon is trash talking the ps3 like a full out xbox fanboy, and the next day he has nothing but praise for the ps3 and cusses the 360 like a ps3 fanboy! Either way, it's on my ignore list. Oh yeah, and good to see a video walkthrough coming, that has to mean its close now.

Edit: Oh yeah, Sev is cool and produces good info which i find easily believable. Don't use Sev and that jackass gamesblow in the same sentance

Edit - Part Deux: @1.10, OK, Silogon is Gamesblow.

[Silogon]

Posted in the wrong spot sorry for the mix up.

Anyways, No afraid not guys I am on that blog and you can see our exchanges if you would like but so far you all think I'm 20 different people and none of you are right.

That Games blow isn't even the real Games blow either by the way. We have been through it already. Check my IP address if you'd like. Doesn't Games blow still have an active account here? Check our IP's as I have told you all to do before. He is from California and I am from somewhere completley different all together on the map check my speed test results against his on the offical forums, even. He is over there too, only it isn't the real one either so I don't know which Games blow you all are trying to say I am but I am neither of any of them.

I live in Kansas city and came from the Neogaf forums and didn't know who Games blow was until I came here and people started saying I was the xbox equivalent to games blow.

I don't know what else to tell you people that will make you stop and realise just because someone new comes to this blog doesn't mean he is someone else. your conspiracy theories are a little out there.

As for my avatar and his being the same????? Really? Mine is The Rubix cube guy from my favorite childhood cartoon and Games Blow's is/was Qbert. Learn your facts before you send me to trial.

Also, do you think I would be stupid enough to post information cross website/forum/blog that is so closley matched up to Games blow's if I didn't want to be "CAUGHT" or what ever you all think I am trying to pull off here? I know the Games blow from the sony blog and we don't get along and all, simply check the burnout post to see proof of that. I am in there. I haven't liked that Games blow since the night of the late update to the Psn and he and his troll buddies were in there causing problems and they we all got kicked but him.

[whoelse]

I always made it clear that the original date was subject to change. And it did. Im sorry if i came across if i had some sort of attitude.

[Shadow Flare]

Ok Silogon, let's run through the facts here ok: you're an idiot, shut up.

[Yoma]

We won't get the FirmWare on 30:th.

Official announcement on the 30th.
The video walkthrough and official screens of in-game XMB, profiles and trophies will all be out on Monday.

Note THE VIDEO WALKTHROUGH!! Not the firmware.

kthxbye

[juuken]

Maaaan, I can't stand that Gamesblow guy. I don't know why they didn't suspend him from the blog. o-o

[Silogon]

I don't like the guy myself and that is why it is even funnier that you all assume I am him.

[xsteinbachx]

FYI it was gamesblows standard practice to never post anything from his own computer, but relayed information to other people for them to post for him.

[LJWooly]

This is hilarious.

[nightfallinicedearth]

im so looking forward to this update

[Liquid Dust]

This update is going to be a big help when it comes to getting my friends rallied together to play either Call of Duty 4 or MGO, because right now communication is just very difficult via sending a message or making a phone call if their not already playing the game.

This will make PSN life a whole lot easier and change the face of the online gaming community for PS3 owners.

Looks like Sony is putting their best foot forward for this update.

[aiphanes]

There is still so much potential in the PS3 os, xmb and home..two years from know we will look back to 2008 and say dang!

It seems like the PS3 is evolving much faster than the Xbox 360 and wii...

[heavyarms]

you mean its catching up the xbox360.

[Euphrate]

.

[SL1M DADDY]

So true there bud. If Sony can offer it up for free, why not MS? Is it because without digging their fanbase for 50 bucks a year the gaming division of MS would be in dire need of some other help? Do they really need 50 bucks from everybody just to maintain a service that Sony is offering for free? Is charging for Live really helping the community or is it just fattening the wallets of the greedy folks at MS?

I guess I am of the opinion that if Sony can offer a great gaming service for free, then MS should do so too. That's just my opinion though.

[juuken]

It's catching up and gaining a lotta strength.
Sony's going all out in this war.
SL1M DADDY, you KNOW MS can't offer their stuff for free. They love the $!

[ruibing]

@heavyarms
You obviously haven't heard of that Avatar/Gamepad rumor floating around of how the 360 is trying to imitate the Mii and Home,

[Lucas22]

hopefully they'll revel in game voice chat

[TheHater]

yeah, that is so sweet. I was chatting with my friend on xbox live. He was playing Viking, and I was playing Lost Odyssey.

[RememberThe357]

YES! Its about freakin time. My PS3 will finally be complete! Wait I just realized that The announcement is suppose to come on the 30th not the firmware... Oh well! Happy Day!

[Rice]

first...!!!

[Rockwallaby]

I hate you

[Jim Crowslaw]

IGN-esqued comment?

[thePatriot]

I guess

heres a bubble from thePatriot

[Ri0tSquad]

Lol, is that the same tanod from here on N4G?

[Enterprise-E]

Why do i get the feeling that this is just a trap to get people to look at this? Besides since when forum posts became news?

[bandoors]

yeah i agree

news spouse to come from IGN or GameSpot or PS.Blog right?

[DarkBlade]

I hope it's true i want to see in-game in a clear view this time. Not film with a camera phone LOL.

[BSigel81]

Yeah, that had me a little ignored too, but if all goes as planned we will get this update with in game chat(crosses fingers...XD)

[Qbanboi]

So from 1 to 10, how confirmed is this?

[JoelR]

1 not and 10 yes

then about a 4

[r2kcipher]

don't updates come on tuesdays. if this is true than 2.4 might come the day after this walkthrough

[J@D]

So that means the Update is next Tuesday huh? mayyyybeeee? ^__^

[SL1M DADDY]

I think it just means that a video walkthough will be put up on the web next week. As for the update, I say it will be around the same day that Sony has their presentation at E3 a couple weeks from now.

[Ri0tSquad]

This is the same guy that confirmed 2.36!!!!

[jamenees]

This seems kind of strange. Oh well, here's to next Monday!

[joydestroy]

i'll believe it when i see it.

[streetking93]

my science teacher mr cassidy once said if you ignore idiots they will go

@ f***thiswebsite

[Jim Crowslaw]

what did he say? his commment is reported already

[supremacy]

@f*ckthistupidwebsite
.....are you ok? lol

[Rockwallaby]

Until I see this on a Sony letterhead it's all crap

[supremacy]

@TheHater
4.1 -
yeah, that is so sweet. I was chatting with my friend on xbox live. He was playing Viking, and I was playing Lost Odyssey.

yeah that is a nice feature one that should be standard on all consoles, not just the ps3 and the 360 but the wii as well. i mean its simple and convenient and no one has to leave a game or do anything too much to hear one another.

so..if 2.40 doesn't have this feature than hopefully with enough complaints we could get sony to add it at a later time via firmware, that and the time/date and the weather with current and a one day forecast. now that would be sweet. how can this be done? simple via the zip code info on your sign psn up. but again having such features would be sweet. and a milestone for sony and a reward for ps3 gamers everywhere. but here is hope.

[TheHater]

that not going to happen on the wii. Nintendo doesn't even allow voice chat. I don't think there is even a chat room system on the wii.

[cool8]

hmmmm....the possibility's are endless...With these days anyone can claim to be anyone...Trust no one but yourself...trust will back stab you.......Believe in what you want to believe........That's the way its played.....
_____________________________ ______________________________ _ ____________

Anyway what i mean to say is anyone can claim to be anyone and give you info like this guy with his post sayoing it will come out on monday..It could be true...and it could be false........
_____________________________ ______________________________ _ _____________

I think its true...but who knows only time will tell.

[Egzekutor]

Dont get happy its unofficial source..

[Doctor Strange]

Sony needs to come out and tell us when to expect this, all these rumors and possible release date are getting a little bit out of control.

[DX F3NIX]

sony hasn't confirmed this so why the hell should i believe this crap from this guy claiming 2.4 is coming on the 30th.

[Dogswithguns]

Schweet!

[blackblades]

The update is probably coming out on the day of e3 as I earned. But I also heard its coming after the video tutorial. I don't know what to believe now, but I'm hoping it comes out next week.

[Silogon]

No, afraid not guys I'm on that blog and you can see our exchanges if you would like but so far you all think I'm 20 different people and none of you are right.

I don't know what else to tell ya.

[alphabet]

With this update and PS Home, the PS3 will finally be a complete console. CANNOT WAIT!!

[PirateThom]

Meh, if the PSP is anything to go by, the PS3 will never be "complete". The PSP is still getting new features all the time. The PS3 will probably be the same. Sony have been pretty good with system updates, they do actually add new functions that people may not have thought about.

[Skerj]

If the reveal is on the 30th, then that update might hit on Tuesday like usual considering that's what always happens.

[juuken]

Woo-hoo!
I can't wait for this!

[rmatott]

i dont care when this update actually hits, i just want to know if we get trophies retroactively

[RAM MAGNUMS]

The psp is still getting updates.

Just cause your brokebox isnt getting anymore updates doesnt mean thats a good thing.
Its actually pretty bad that you are not getting updated anymore!
Thats why we laugh at its outdatedness.
Get it?
I dont know if you are saying its bad that having consistant support means the system or psp is not complete and will never be because of its freaky way of evolving with the times but if you mean it the way I think you mean it then I will laugh at your last xbox360 Update!
Cool dashboard.
LOL!
I think i'll go buy some old spice deodorant and join the army or navy!
Thanks Xbox 360!
ha ha !

[Killa Aaron]

I Hope This Is True, I Really Want These Features And More.

[jlytle1234]

look an actual news worthy article. this is the right stuff N4G.

[Old Snake]

Jesus Christ, not more of this Bullsh!t. People need to just stop with the damn rumors. First it was the 18th, then the 24th. People are just going to hype it and then b!tch and moan at Sony for not doing something, that they never said the were going to do

[seraph741]

i think you forgot where u are posting...this is still n4g.

this is the same bunch of people that a few months ago "didn't need an in-game xmb" lol

it'll come when it comes, will be sweet when it does, took long enough though.

[skinner6]

I heard some where that the release date for firmware 2.40 wud be released between the 1st - 3rd july

[Chronopath]

whether its this week or the beginning of july its obviously coming. All we can do is wait. ; ;

[koston3647]

it looks like there is a relatively good chance that the update will come on my birthday july 1st if this is true i will shoot myself in the head with excitement!!!!!

that was not a real threat dont call the suicide hotline lol

[hillbilly123]

you know what guys??? im SICK AND TIRED of you debbie downers saying 2.4, i'll see it when i believe it. what else do you have to look forward to thats this big for an update? why not just believe it and be happy

[seraph741]

....aside from the rest of your post not making sense, whats a debbie downer? i'm really curious, not being sarcastic

[aaquib5]

June 30th: PSN>XBL.

[Nitrowolf2]

ok how come everytime i leave this site for like 14 hours something good is always posted.
this is great news and i bet ya they will reveal they release date that same day
