Wish List for next PS3 Updates

Slashgear writes:

"PS3 is not just a typical game console. I picked one up not too long ago on the advice of a video enthusiast. Like me, he is not much of a gamer and was frustrated with playback issues from these so called dedicated Blu-Ray players. I never thought PS3 has replaced the standalone and remained in my components shelf for Blu-Ray playback but it did.

I recently added another flagship HD-DVD player to compliment the HI-Def set up. The quality is fine but It reminds me how much I appreciate the superiority of PS3 handling problematic Hi-def media. Loading and booting is super fast, basic control is as responsive as a legacy DVD player. It makes me think, why can't they makes standalone hardware better than a game console?

Despite the short fall in the gaming arena, Sony did well with PS3 Hi-Def media. Statically, it's the best selling Hi-Def player, loaded with future proof powerful cells and gets updated consistently than any Hi-Def player out there. Ps3 has successes in bringing a non-gamer like me purchasing not one but two ps3 games so far; the same reason I believe it did the same for gamers to persuade Blu-Ray media. Here's my PS3 wish list as a Blu-Ray player. Santa, please bring me DTS-MA decoding, profile 2.0, built in full Video Calibration patterns with 709 color space and bring back the transport stream support."

you guys ^^ are the biggest morons on this site.

[Retro-Virus]

Wtf ?

I want DTS-MA decoding so I approved it, if you even know what it means then fine, let me be a moron.

Plus did you even read the artile ? He uses it as a High-Def player so his wish list makes perfect sense.

The only morons on this site are those who agreed with that retarded statement of yours.

[Darkiewonder]

O.o

FW Update 2.11 is coming soon.

[Salvadore]

I was tricked.

[Xemnas]

lets see IN GAME XMB............i cant think of anything els lol oh umm sending voice messages.

[Marceles]

OK his list is to upgrade the Blu-ray player more? Lame. My wish list is:

1. In-game messaging or voice chat, something that can make me communicate with someone from my friends without leaving the damn game

2. More rumble patches.

3. Be able to send videos and voice messages instead of only pictures to friends

4. For all PS compatible games and movies to be playable through remote play: PS1, PS2, and PS3, Blu-ray, DVD...

That's about all I care about for now...

[SSCOOLCHEA]

so his wishlist is different than yours . All i want is in game video chat , how about that ? Now that is cooler that texting somebody .

[bym051d]

If we're going to do lame wishlists, here's mine.

1. Play 360 games
2. Play HD DVD discs
3. Play N64 carts
4. Play Laserdisc

[mighty_douche]

LOL^^

We don't need in game XMB, thats just daft because it is packed with stuff that you will never need to do while playing such as launch videos etc, what is needed is in game messaging and access to your friends list.

Beyond that I would like to see the SD DVD player made multi region as it is pretty standard now and the ability to play my old region 1s would be nice, a internet radio thing would also be nice.

I also kinda like the idea of being able to send photos from my phone to the console by bluetooth, that would be a pretty sweet app IMO.

The idea of widgets on the main menu is also a possibility, Konfabulator is available for Linux so it wouldn't be too tough to get it running on the PS3.

no hate. its just this article blows assballs.

[Aeroglyphics]

I'm not sure if it was there before but, I noticed yesterday that after the 2.10 update I could bring up the XMB while playing a divx movie and on the web browser. If they did it with those two things ingame XMB is just around the corner.

[DRUDOG]

We've been able to bring up the XMB when in the web browser for awhile now...

[monks]

the guy does clearly say his list is as a hi-def fan rather than a gamer so i can fully understand his wish list

mine would be

1.the standard in game xmb would be nice but i can personally wait until it is ready i don't want something rushed

2.recording my gameplay or my tv onto the hard drive would be cool i did hear they had something planned for digitaltv

3.improved online profiles

4.Achievements i know this is coming with home but something in profiles would be nice i am not sure how much i would use home

5. 1.1 BR is great but the faster we can get to 2.0 would be great

6.browser needs some work if only i could replace it with Firefox in my dreams

this is my personal wish list for now i am sure i have more lol

[aiphanes]

We will probably get XMB access to the following sections of the XMB:
Friends
Network
Music
Photo
Video
Settings
Playstation Network

[unlimited]

XMB!! I know it will come with HOME ..I expect every update will address the needs of all PS3 fans. Its hard to believe but sony is listening to us so all PS3 owners SPEAK OUT..

[Altis1]

1. Don't make updates for the PS3 a weekly chore for your users.
2. Major emphasis on the first one. ^^^^^^

[rawd]

Updating your firmware is a chore? Gabe Newell, is that you?

[Figboy]

5 minutes to download and install this latest firmware update.

is...

going to
"System Update" and pressing X
downloading the update
and installing the update

really that hard? is it the equivalent of going outside and raking the lawn, or shoveling the driveway in the cold snow, or washing the dishes, or cleaning the bathroom? chores?

[papernut]

1080i scaling support for all games would be nice. For those with HDTVS that do not support 720P or games that do not support 1080 resolutions.

[Figboy]

why is in game cross media bar so important?

i'm being deadly serious here. i mean, i've owned my PS3 for about 10 months now, and never once have i felt compelled to access the cross media bar while playing a game.

maybe it's just an online gamer thing (i probably play a game online twice a month; i am, and always will be, a single player gamer 99% of the time).

custom soundtracks i also don't quite understand. personally, i wouldn't want to hear Tenacious D blaring in the background while playing Uncharted or Heavenly Sword, or even Folklore, as the music in those games are nothing short of breathtaking, but i guess i can understand it if the music in a game sucks (ie, High Velocity Bowling, but thank god you can play the music on your HDD instead).

i just don't understand *WHY it's so important, and would appreciate if someone could clarify for me.

[solar]

lemme chat with 1 person and start up a game. thats all i want.

[SSCOOLCHEA]

Only thing i have a gripe about that is when you see your friends logging in and he sends you a message online and you cant mesage him unless you get out of a game .

question ? with the new 1.1 for blu ray with the pip . would it be possible to play your games and do in game video chat ? that would be awesome doing a touchdown celebration in somebody face . or even moon them
