    No.

    Don't turn this into another adBox. Seriously, one of my favorite things about my PS3 is that I don't have to wait for ads to load while it boots. Do whatever you want in the store, I don't care, but don't make my PS3 boot into ads!

    Seriously, people, it's fucking tacky..

    ...I know.

    They should have taken the 7 minutes they used to program that in and used them to move along the progress on in-game chat, true party chat, etc.

    I HATE that the 3.0 update is entirely geared towards upselling items in the PS Store, without providing additional functionality. Games under the "games" menu links you to the Ps Store. Videos under the "videos" menu link you to the Ps Store. Buy new themes from the Ps Store. Buy new avatars from the Ps Store. How about updating the sorry excuse for a browser? How about allowing streamable web content? How about quick access to weather, stocks, news? Make this the center of our home media system as you always wanted it to be, or get the F out.

    @spoondoggydog: Goddamnit I could not have said that better!! I have nightmares of fucking spokespeeps at sony rambling on about how "you won't need an xbox, dvd player, bluray player, etc etc" because "we are making the all-in-one definitive home theater component" and how we will be able to do cool stuff in PS Home and check our weather and ....... !!!!!!!! ARRGGHH!!! Give me widgets, or gadgets, or streaming!! I don't even know what I am saying because my head is about to explooOoOoDDEE!!

    Meh. I guess I'm becoming something of a curmudgeonly old geezer but I still don't understand the fascination with things like avatars or even interfaces in general, and I *really* don't appreciate that Sony seems to force a software update on me literally every time I try to browse the downloads in PSN. These downloads should be optional, unless there are gamestopping bugs or security flaws being fixed.

    I don't think I've used a new feature of any of these software updates since the day I bought my system like 2 years ago.

    @Holy shirt! a talking squirrel! 「Tayler」: Yeah, it's annoying that you aren't allowed to play Warhawk unless you've updated the system. It's a way of controlling the software on the system. Pretty smart, actually.

    @badasscat: Agreed, for the most part. I am an original owner, and when the update that allowed 1080i upconversion of standard DVDs came out I shit a brick. Also, I am a fan of the power save mode for the system and controllers, the chat rooms, the ability to background select tasks such as downloading, playing music, etc. They DO put good stuff in there. But I agree they need to disclose what the hell is in the update, AND give me the option without cock-blocking my use of the system.

    it pays to have foresight...have two 500GB external HDDs just for my PS3s. All ps3 content (PSN movies, internet borrowed movies, music, porn and games) are all backed up on the externals using the backup utility. All this means is that I can actually use content direct from the external now. Better later than never, Sony...


    now about that US rollout of Ad Hoc Party...

    Is there some kind of restriction that keeps bluetooth keyboards from working while playing games that would force you to use a wired keyboard that I did not know about?

    just glad this wasn't an April fool's joke...but I was pretty sure when there was no bozomodo invading the pic. More features are always good, if they make sense...there are so many more things I would like to see, but in game chat is a pretty nice add-on.

    They are waiting to release it as a "feature".


    Standards may be open, but Sony 'aint.

    As far as I'm concerned, Sony can ship all the updates it wants as late as it wants.


    I get about two hours of gametime a week, what with work and Girlie thoroughly despising video game music. Plus, Sunday mornings are for news and the afternoons are for football. And Saturday usually has an errand or two to do. And then there's guitar to practice along with my friend who's trying to form a nerdcore band.

    I was wondering why it never showed up. I thought they were simply rolling it out piecemeal and that I just wasn't cool enough.


    [Insert joke about why I'm not cool enough.]
