Wow, that's barely list worthy.. lol and even one of those "Facebook Integration" is nothing but a shortcut to the Facebook website via the PS3 web browser..

How about some native mkv support Sony? You are supposed to be a media power house that "Only Does Everything" but I can't play any of my mkv media and several other less popular encoding formats.

Still, it's free so that is as much whining as I will do. :)

PirateThom5688d ago

Actually, there's no link on the XMB to Facebook. It automatically uploads your last trophies, purchases and in game events (games pending) to your Facebook account.

Sev5688d ago

True, but we do these with every firmware update. The list is updated as new features are found so we are sure to include everything. So if anyone finds anything else, be sure to post it in the comments section of PlayStation LifeStyle so I can keep the article up-to-date.

Cheers.

Sev5688d ago

As cool of a feature the facebook integration is, I wont be using it. I really don't think my friends and family care about what I am doing on my PS3.

However I'd like to see a PSN social feature similar to facebook itself but within the PS3 friends lsit. Now that I'd use.

GiantEnemyCrab5688d ago (Edited 5688d ago )

Oh, thanks Pirate. I don't use Facebook at all so it just looked like a shortcut.

And I'm just poking fun at the list.. I know more things are discovered as everyone get's a chance to play around in it.

@1.8: Why not legally? I did find a way around it with PS3 Media Server but it's still just re-encoding on the fly.

Bathyj5688d ago

I was going to say pretty much the same thing.

I dont really care about FB, and I want .mkv support.

I just wasnt going to be as whinney about it as you did. Oh well, enjoy your poking.

whothedog5688d ago

I always thought Home should have its own website where you could make your profile and people could view it or update it through Home or the PC. It is for social networking why not have a personal profile along with it.

"However I'd like to see a PSN social feature similar to facebook itself but within the PS3 friends lsit. Now that I'd use."

Me too, that would be great. PSN having it's own version of myspace or facebook for people to leave public comments that others could read, uploading pictures and having a real profile.

Also I have been listening to Pandora on the PS3 web browser for about 30 minutes. I didn't know it worked and it is pretty cool having access to my friends list and messages while listening to a playlist.

Redempteur5688d ago

mkv support ?

never gonna happen ...
not gonna happen legaly on ps3 , 360 or wii

legal reasons ..give it up ... or use a media server to look your mkvs ...otherwise you're waiting in vain ...

Myst5688d ago

You know that's not a bad idea and would be something I'd like to see.

Noctis Aftermath5688d ago

faster web browser is enough to make me update.

Darkfocus5688d ago (Edited 5688d ago )

why wouldn't it legally happen the new Divx has support for it and they already announced they would like to bring it to ps3 and 360.

Cwalat5688d ago

I am sick of the PSN staff ignoring Avatar support all of a sudden.

Why the hell announce and say that more avatars are coming only to ignore it later on? Eric Lempel himself said "3.00 comes with more avatar support", it's been f***in two months now and not a single extra avatar has popped up!

I dislike the friendlist for one thing, people use the same freakin avatars and it feels outdated after 2-3 days. Same freakin avatars since launch 3 years ago!!!<

I don't like to whine about things, but W T F.... If they have time to add a WORTHLESS feature such as facebook (who even uses it anymore?)... then why can't they add more avatars?

ANYWAYS, PSN updates are free and free updates are always welcome in my book.

Bathyj5688d ago

I never thought we'd get .avi's but we did.

Still the best update yet, for my money.

Myst5688d ago

I whole heartily agree with you, another person and myself seemed to be the only ones who cried for more avatars back when we kept getting update upon update with no new avatars. Each Thursday I'd look forward to some, but every time I felt so let down after finding out that there was none.

I was hoping by now we'd get some more, but I'm starting to think it's becoming less likely that we ( PSN users ) will be getting anything avatar related anytime soon.

Traveler5688d ago

I'd like to see more avatars and more animated themes, but I do like this update overall. Sony is taking away all of Microsoft's talking points. That's not why I like it though, I actually like some of the new improvements. Faster Browser is particularly appreciated.

taco_tom2375688d ago

i found a new feature....if ur ps3 freezes or shuts down wrong u can send a error report to sony when it starts back up

whothedog5688d ago (Edited 5688d ago )

Am I the only one still trying to get this update? The PC download is also not working for me. I just wanted to download BF:BC2 tonight :(

silverbeld5687d ago (Edited 5687d ago )

@giantenemycrab

Are you kidding?

MKV files are crap!

MPEG4 is a lot better and PS3 plays with MPEG4 the real HD deal!

Blu-ray rips plays fine on MPEG4 and it's usually 1,45GB. It plays a lot smoother than Matroska files.

Perkel5687d ago

@ silverbeld

mkv ftw, you an have all languages and all subtitles in one file, hell you can even have diffrent types of subtitles for every person in movie , color style etc.

silverbeld5687d ago

@perkel

MPEG4 FTW.

MPEG4 you also can change subtitles and colors. It's the same. I like MPEG4 cause it plays smoother then Matroska files. And it use less space. You also dont need a high end pc to play it. With my macbook it runs fine on MPEG4 but when i play MKV then it flickers sometimes. And yes i have the right codecs.

And yes I also play it with VLC 1.03

I like the new way they do the photo folders, but why not do the same thing for external drives? The new feature isn't available if you are looking at photos on an external USB drive.

Isis065687d ago (Edited 5687d ago )

I have been waiting for a update that does something for my chaotic 300gb PS3...
this is a step in the right direction but the music/videos still need work.
Would love to see a folder in a folder option over anything else, my music and video categories are messed up!

andrewf915688d ago (Edited 5688d ago )

beat to the punch, ah well good list...

BIGBOSS085688d ago

they fixed the iplayer for uk users aswell, remember it wouldnt show on some ps3's with a certain serial? mines was one of them but after updating and then restarting it showed. not much but still...

The Evil Within Deserved More: A Great Horror Series Left Behind

The Outerhaven writes: While I hold Bethesda's The Evil Within series as some of the best Survival Horror games available, it's clear that Bethesda has no intention of revisiting the series. While Capcom is still working on its Resident Evil series, I look back at the now-dead survival horror series from Bethesda, wondering why the series was left wide open, and yet still not revisited.

An OK horror series left behind. It had some great ideas, but it never knew how to play to its strengths. Instead, it came out like just another RE4 clone.

I would love for a third entry to come out, but it needs to learn to lean in on the psychological aspect and move away from the generic "pew pew" ideology at the center of the gameplay loop. It doesn't need to abandon it; it just needs to put it into better context, is all.

Also, try a first-person perspective instead. Too many 3rd-person games with nothing to offer but an avatar taking precious screen space. At least make it an actual option and not that janky-ass mess the second game pretended to have.

PS5/Pro/Switch 2 version of RDR2 seems most likely. I’d love a RDR3 but that seems years away

Cacabunga4h ago

Id be happy for just a 60fps patch

OmegaSoldati3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

Agreed, but at the same time RD2 came out in 2018. Could it be a remake of Red Dead 1?

Spoiler:

Marston died in the end of Red Dead and Red Dead 2 is set before that. Im curious now. What news could it be?

Profchaos5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

Their contracts are iron clas if they leak anything legit they are threatened with immense legal action.

My hopes for what this is are minimal its probably a meet and greet with the cast

I dont see why they would be involved in a upgraded version of rdr2 when the dialogue hasn't changed

thorstein2h ago

He seems to have been cleared to do this as he purposely picked up the game, streamed it, and made the announcement.

It Has Been Over 2,500 Days Since The Elder Scrolls 6 Was Revealed

It will come out in another 1000-2000 days or so. I’d rather they remake Morrowind. After they added quest arrows, sprint button, making stats lesser and the big nerfs to spells Elder Scrolls has been too simplified. They could change that with ES6 but I don’t have much faith in modern Bethesda. I would love to be wrong

Wait until he hears about Star Citizen...
