PS3 Fanboy

Yeah, it's awesome! I love this new era of console gaming where they keep games alive like they do on PC's.

Not so happy with the new store though. It's OK, but L1 and R1 no longer work, so browsing the store is clunkier. I think they could have better spent their programmer's time on something else.

how do i download or get either version 1.80 OR 2.3 firmware on my PS3. 20g

can you help me, update my firmware plz!??

Jeez give it a rest. Do you realize how hard Sony works to rectify weaknesses to their hardware and software? Some people thought the Store needs to be redesigned, it gets done. Some wants HD audio, it gets done. Some wants in game xmb, it'll happen, just be patient.

they never said it was coming with this update

True that, Sony works pretty hard to give us what we want. So far, the only other big things we're hoping for is In-game XMB & Home. They're probably just tuning everything up to make sure it runs well with some added oomph.

No, let's face facts. This is an example of finally getting something we should've alway had. Celebrating "new" rumble and finally getting a decent (well the new store's AMAZING, but the old was was less than decent) store should be decidedly tempered. I appreciate them striving to give us quality, but I don't like how they handled things in the beginning. Fortunately, now that we've crossed this bridge there aren't many cons that really need to be addressed so it's pretty much gravy from now on.

The blame is partly on M$... They created a console race rush to market. Both consoles weren't ready, yet they were released unfinished. This is exactly why the 360 is faulty and the Ps3 wasn't released with all its elements set up properly. I truly believe that Sony would have liked to have all these things up and running from the start but there was no way in hell they could let the 360 go unchallenged for 2 years, look at sales impact on the PS3 from letting the 360 go 1 year unchallenged.

M$ copywrote the in game XBL option, but sony is slowly working a way around it. They also copywrote the in game music but they are finding ways around that already too, IE on a couple games instead of all.

I'm only at 30% and I've been downloading for 2 hours... Anyone else's taking extremely long?

You never been to kotaku.com I guess.
