LOL, WTF... Really Sony??
Y0j1mb0 | 9:37 PM on 04.01.2009 55 comments





LMAO.

Are you kidding me?? If this isn't an April Fool's joke and this is really the fabled 2.70 update for the PS3 then I think Sony are officially confirmed full blown retarded. The rumors have been rampant with this update being the one, the one that would bring cross talk between games, as well as the ability to send voice messages. Still other rumors had using your Home characters as avatars. This was supposed to have the PS3 XMB a few features closer to that of Xbox LIVE.

Considering that LIVE has had cross talk between games since when forever and have had the ability to send voice messages to each other as well, one would think it be a no brainer for Sony to offer that to PS3 users. I mean they always say they are listening and working on what their users want, right? So what do we get??

16 player TEXT chat rooms and having your friends list in another form of alphabetical order.

What the FUCK??

What year is this?? TEXT chat rooms?? If I wanted to "text chat" I would try IRC.

LMAO. Oh Sony...you so funny.

Confirmed for PS3 update 2.71: The ability to have an alarm wake up function for the PS3.

I kept telling people that if Sony was really going to implement all those magical changes everyone was talking about it definitely wouldn't be a 2.whatever update. If they do put in all those changes, especially all at the same time, it would be a 3.0 firmware if anything. It'd be a major update. That's why I wasn't excited for 2.7, wake me when they bump up the version number.

Well, you can copy paste now.

And there's a new Dynamic Normalizer, whatever the fuck that is.

You know, Jimbo, 16 person text chat isn't so bad since it's persistent throughout games. Getting a bunch of people in one for FNF could be good for throwing up the Socom game to join or "Hey we're starting COD4 now". It's unfortunate we didn't get the EPIC list of features that were rumored to be in 2.7, but instead of being all old and crochety, you could be old and positive. And old.

Can I just be honest here and say the only new feature I'd want in a firmware update would be mandatory custom soundtracks in all games?

In game video recording for all games would be pretty cool too.

the date said 3/17 on the video. i don't really care for updates anymore. i got what i want and if i'm playing a game i don't want to be bothered with voice or text chat.

Don't forget multiple PSN logins simultaneously. That's pretty much mandatory now. That one had better still be coming this month.

Sony is not *stupid*. They know we want voice chat. The problem is delivery.

In 2006 you got a console that couldn't even open a decent menu while playing a game. There was no plan for in-game XMB, let along cross-game chat. The console was designed to do what it did within a certain constraint of processing power and memory. Overcoming those constraints takes a lot of engineering and ingenuity, and while I'm sure they are working on it it will take time.

Honestly, I understand the rage. When you look at it from the perspective of Sony failing to deliver on a rumoured list of features, it makes me angry too. But really, the only thing that Sony has changed from you between yesterday and today is that today, you have a few more features than you did yesterday. They didn't promise you anything else.

Lol... wut...

Right on...?

I will actually get a PS3 the day that the price drops and Sony stops fucking around with their online features and pretending like they don't matter.

It is actually easier to just have Dtoid IRC open while playing your games than it would be to use this. Fucking revolutionary.
