VG247 is reporting that PS3 firmware 3.0 means big things for Sony fans when it arrives just before Christmas, bringing with it fresh features and the promise of a "completely new system." Allegedly, a massive overhaul is coming to the PlayStation 3, one that can be compared to the New Xbox Experience "in some respects."
Among the potential changes will be a long-awaited "reputation system," where players can evaluate each other. There will also be grief reporting as well, which doesn't mean you tell Sony about how sad you are over Michael Jackson. Instead, you'll be able to take screenshots of player abuse and show the PSN overlords.
The most pleasant bit of gossip is talk about players being able to download patches in the background, meaning one can do other things while waiting for excessively long updates to install. Audiophiles will also be thrilled to hear that simultaneous HDMI and digital optical outputting should also be on the way.
Until Sony confirms any of this, we can't say it is definitely coming, but everything sounds like a good feature for the PS3 and will be welcomed with open arms. As soon as more is said, we shall let you know.
[Update: Sony has commented on this, and is calling nonsense on the whole thing.
"These rumors are completely untrue, nothing has been announced or confirmed for upcoming PlayStation firmware, and this is just wild speculation," Jennifer Clark, director of SCEA product publicity, told IGN today.]

pls, pls, PLS!
Anyone know what that's about?
@bodybreak... most games do now have ingame music. It's up to the devs to include the option. Warhawk and Killzone both have it for online play and newer games like Sacred 2 even allow for ingame music while playing the campaign offline. (when in a game, just go to XMB and start a playlist).
haha..
I could load up all my shit on me PS3, install Windows 7, and then reload the shit from my PS3 to my laptop.
That'd be awesome.
@Elsa:
I can't use in-game music for Warhawk or Killzone 2 since I prefer to hear conversations with my squad mates, as well as the death throes of my fallen foes. I may give it a try in Warhawk, since the concept of "teamwork" and conversation is lost on that game's patrons, it seems. In-game music needs to be as mandatory as trophies or should be implemented via a mechanism** within the XMB for all games. I would blatantly enjoy playing through Protoype with my gothic metal/EBM blasting in the background.
**US patents be damned.
Must. Resist. Racist joke.
Improves Playback quality of certain PLAYSTATION 3 software.
XBox 360 Dashboard > XMB > NXE
Yes yes, there's mkv2vob and media servers but native playback would be nice.
But yeah, hopefully they add something more than just another set of bug fixes and add one feature pretending it's the new holy grail or something.
If Sony didn't say anything about this, where did you get the info from???
i love my ps3 but i do hate sony now with this kind of passion that makes lions eat their cubs. i could run that business better than them because i know what gamers want, at least what i want anyway.
I'm curious to see what changes in the new firmware. I think it might be quite a big surprise.
Also, Sony, are you listening to me? MULTIPLE PSN LOGINS AND MULTIPLE HEADSET CONNECTIONS. Microsoft did this over a year before your console came out. Why don't we have it yet?
also what mix said.
Yeah you can change genres but you can't change a complete album or artist. It's one of the two. I'm not sure which one. It's weird.
Oh, and I wouldn't mind if text chat went and died in a hole either
I'm just sayin'.
You can do that already!
I do that with my PS3 60gig launch one, no bullshit!
I have my HDMI cord going from my PS3 to my TV and Optical from my PS3 to my receiver....works 100%
My recevier is a pass through for HDMI so it doesn't split the audio and sound apart for if. So if I did a single HDMI cord I would get picture and sound to my TV with the receiver doing absolutely nothing for sound.
You adjust the setting in the XMB as I'm willing to bet you can do it....I think maybe some stereo elites would want more options for more receivers so they could use the sound from the Optical as well as HDMI.
