How do you delete cookies & cache on this beautiful PS3? Also, is defrag an option. Thanks.

Also, I hope Sony would allow clock / timer / alarm options on the PS3 with an update. I'd like to know what time it is by maybe pressing the PS button from time to time while playing games. Must keep an eye on the clock, you know, to make sure I don't play for too long. It would be cool to be able to use the PS3 as an alarm clock too. Heck, maybe a CD or MP3 alarm clock where you wake up to your favorite music. Why not? If you have it in your bedroom. Maybe a timer feature too to notify you that your 1 hour of alloted game time is up or something, YOU KNOW? Not necessary, but would be cool to have.

After installing this update I can't get UPnP to work. It says "Not available". Anyone know whats wrong here? It worked just fine before. If I can't play Warhawk VERY soon I WILL go crazy.

EDIT: Okay, it works now. That was stupid.

I was able to play WH with no problems after the new firmware.

hella whip6495d ago

Looks like the update means nothing to us Europeans, wonder what playability status means? is it to do with Warhawk or have they stopped the Lair remote play?

Infernus6495d ago (Edited 6495d ago )

My Brother was attempting to play Hitman: Blood Money when the screen saying it's not compatible came up. The game worked before the update, so just wondering what the extent of this playability update is...

I know Sony said they will slowly move away from the PS2 games on PS3 and focus on the PS3 being for PS3 games. So I was expecting it. I have a PS2 though so obviously I can still play Hitman...

Just wondering if anyone else has had problems with PS2 games they used to play?

Btw I live in the UK so this update did affect us Europeans

cuco336494d ago

infernus, if that's true on what you are saying than that's pretty foul

since this is america, i wonder if i can sue sony for the '100% BC, ALWAYS' thing they preached ;)

ReBurn6494d ago

You can sue for anything, but I doubt that you'll be successful since Sony never guaranteed the PS3 to be 100% backward compatible.

WilliamRLBaker6494d ago

actually reburn they did, many times before launch back before e3 2006, such statements we're retracted later though but they did promise it or atleast alluded too it with statements such as FULL backwards compatibility support.

Well, warhawk's server problems are solved for me, so I'm guessing it has to do with warhawk.

reaferfore206494d ago

Won't let me login anymore. WTF!

GoLeafsGo6495d ago

Now we know who the bull****ters are on N4G, as well as at the playstation.com boards.

Haha..flash backgrounds, avi support, controllers auto-off after idle..ahaha..awesomeness!

Wingnut266495d ago

The auto-off on the controllers is happening. I'm not sure when it was implemented, but I have had controllers shutting off while I was watching a movie. And yes, the battery was fully charged and in range of the BT tech.

MikeGdaGod6495d ago

i noticed the auto-off controls a while ago, i knew that wasn't new

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.

Venoxn4g11h ago

Love both games, hope that we will get third game

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

Cacabunga21h ago

Id be happy for just a 60fps patch

OmegaSoldati20h ago(Edited 20h 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?

mkis00713h ago

I'm pretty sure the next game will be another prequel as the story really has no where to go as far as being a western after red dead redemption. The next game will end with the ferry boat incident.

Profchaos22h ago(Edited 22h 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

thorstein19h ago

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

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...
