Title: Another week another firmware..
Post by: pilonv1 on July 29, 2008, 11:59:58 PM: Quote
Just wanted to give everyone a quick heads up that a PS3 firmware update (v2.42) is now available for download. This update improves the playback quality of some PLAYSTATION 3 and PlayStation format software.

:bow 2.42 :bow2

Post by: Hitler Stole My Potato on July 30, 2008, 12:23:06 AM: MGS4 is shite. 360 will outsell ps3 in Japan. Just wait.

Post by: Howard Alan Treesong on July 30, 2008, 12:42:57 AM: I've been trying to install 2.42 so I can get onto the store and try PixelJunk Eden for like 45 minutes. I can't get past 1% on the download. This is Sony.

Post by: Brehvolution on July 30, 2008, 10:04:29 AM: Unless it inhibits me from playing games, I'll wait to hear if any problems arise before I update.

Post by: duckman2000 on July 30, 2008, 12:29:36 PM: Some dudecunt claimed that these types of updates aren't required, which is a bunch of crap. It signs you out of the PSN, and with the only good games on the PS3 being online centric, it makes it impossible to actually play games without updating. Who issues these updates anyway? It's the Japanese, isn't it?
Title: Re: Another week another firmware..
Post by: pilonv1 on July 30, 2008, 07:40:25 PM: Yeah it's garbage. I just want to play some College Hoops but I can't go online if it don't update. distinguished mentally-challenged.
Title: Re: Another week another firmware..
Post by: abrader on July 31, 2008, 06:57:16 AM: I wonder how many circumstantial PS3 bricking occur during these updates...

There must be a % of PS3 that die every time due to power blips, etc when users update...the more updates SONY pushes, the greater the chances...

They really need to ship these kinds of items with a boot disk or some kind of firmware reset option.

Sony, adding shit that should have been there since the beginning :bow

it really does??? fucking awesome
Title: Re: Another week another firmware..
Post by: AdmiralViscen on July 31, 2008, 08:27:23 AM: I'm just glad that 2.41 fixed the stupid problem they added in 2.4, where if you didn't turn on your switchbox before your PS3 it would default to TV sound output and could not be reversed without a reboot.

wow. I didn't even notice that when I installed this 2.42 one.
Title: Re: Another week another firmware..
Post by: Hitler Stole My Potato on July 31, 2008, 12:37:13 PM: Wow. Automatic installing firmware after it downloaded. Big fucking deal.

Call me when it does it after you download a game.

That's another asinine procedure. Why does one have to fucking click on the floaty bubble that is a PS3 Demo and verify the install. I mean, I downloaded the fucking thing, I obviously want to play it!
