No XMB optimizations for older games... bleah..

Only thing that I've found out so far is:

Demon's Souls
When you are in the Nexus, exiting to the XMB will cause your PS3 to auto-restart previously. This, has been fixed.

No.

I tested like 13 games I had in mind which previously had buggy issues mainly due with the PS3's XMB.
No freezing at all.

I just noticed the Text Chat (chatroom) now allows up to twice the amount of letters in a single post. Lulz....

Sony can't even do a proper chatroom huh...

Yeap, 2.8 has blocked ORP.

BTW, for those of you who has shared PSN content (games) with others, double check your game info and make sure the game is associated with the user ID you downloaded for. I've received some reports saying that after the 2.8 update, they couldn't start the game they shared with others anymore. They simply needed to re-download again and activating the content again from the master account.

I know this problem has been around before even 2.76 as I've encountered it once. But after 2.8, it seems more apparent. Just a heads up.

It won't matter if you place it next to your TV.


They aren't called points. Simply called dollars, ringgit, or whatever currency you buy them on.
This is PS3, not 360. lulz.

And at the moment, technically you can't buy the MY PSN cards online as no one is selling them... online, yet.

I prefer WD Scorpio.

No it's not normal.
Reconnect to a different IP add, then log in again.

Screenshot will be very much appreciated.

Let's send hundreds of e-mails with screenshot proofs to Kaz Hirai!!

Wow.... I just left for a half a day and come back looking at a handful of new threads. I don't mind the promoting, but damn they don't even provide correct and sufficient info. That's spamming.

And they have the balls to write copy from asia.playstation.com.

I'm using an Apple mac keyboard in conjunction with my white PS3...

Well vorchiel, I'd say just ignore those keyboards with 1001 macro keys on them. Worthless on the PS3.

zomggg... I didn't see.
Now I feel really stupid.

Good news for future PS3 gamers maybe.
Sony has just announced that the cost of production for a PS3 has decreased 70% since its innitial launch.

iSuppli estimated that the 60GB PS3 costs around $840.
70% off that cost means only $252 per PS3 made. And this is only an estimation, it is certainly a little bit lower on the front side.

Keep your fingers crossed for something of a price-cut come this Gamescon when Sony will have their stupendous 3-hour long press conference

*hint*they've already started using cheap parts staring with the 80GB with PS2 emu b/c



And it gets cheaper, and cheaper and cheaper every model and revision after that.

Only FAT32.

Wooo....
Looks like theres a new batch of fake DS3s all around.

Improvements they made over the old fake DS3 (which wasn't around everywhere during then).

1. They included the reset button! You can actually reset your controller now.

2. The labels are rather correct, but still they are not in the correct size.

3. So called, even more looking "original" back sticker than Sony's one. Really though, the original has a protective film that can be peeled off. The bar code is sealed onto the protective film, if you take it off, the code comes off. The fake, once you take it off.... the entire thing is off!


I'll seek out more findings.
