New PS3 Firmware to Launch at E3?
05/11/2009 Written by Anthony Severino
According to PS3-Sense.nl and their “reliable source”, Sony is getting set to release a firmware update during E3. The translation from Dutch says that the firmware update will be “fat” meaning very feature heavy. Last year Sony had something like the ready to go during E3 with the PSN Video Service, so something like this is not at all far fetched.
Will cross game voice chat finally be released? What other features could be in this firmware update? We are just going to have to wait until E3 to find out.
PlayStation LifeStyle will be live-blogging the SCEA Press Conference so you will know the second this is announced, if it is announced at all.

Awesome, I hope it includes cross game invites, voice messaging, a party chat system, and the Video Store for CANADA!!!!
Wooo PSLS E3 Liveblog!
sweet. i love my ps3 more and more everyday.
Software backwards compatibility would be excellent.. Then I could give away my PS2 to someone who doesn’t have one yet. Ah, wishful thinking.
“PlayStation LifeStyle will be live-blogging the SCEA Press Conference”
Im so proud of u guys, should be even better than the coverage u guys had last year.
Well… isn’t a risky guess. Isn’t summer the time for the big updates like ingame xmb and video store?
dam, Sony momentum this year far outshines the competition. if they wipeout 360 in the US it will be an ultimate comeback.
It’s probably the VidZone service for Europe. Seems fair since the Video store was announced last year for NA.
I hope VidZone is something like netflix.
Sony needs it’s own service like this, a monthly price for downloading videos & whatnot. I think they need a much larger video base be4 something like this tho.
I’m sure it’s going to be a great firmware update.
Everybody has a reliable source these days, don’t they. I bet everyone has “The Architect” on speed dial.
through the translation it says “fat” but that doesn’t mean feature heavy lol.. i read directly from the dutch source and they say “vet” which directly translates to “fat” but they actually mean a cool update! lol just thought i’d let you know
Matter of fact I do have the Architect on speed dial but speaking directly to him would warp your fragile little minds,lol
if this is true, then i am going to be looking forward to E3 a lot more now. I didnt really care about god of war and mag i know about those i want something new, something that will make the ps3 that much cooler. you know?
going to get it the instant it comes out.
Been suggesting to people that Sony is probably going to do a surprise firmware update or feature set thanks to last E3s video store launching that night.
Can’t wait.
Hopefully it’s cross-game invites.
I’m one of the few who is actually happy with the PS3 the way it is, anything extra is icing on the cake for me! Go Sony!
Come on guys you know what happens to rumors they get all bent out of shape and then the reputation of PSLS on the internet is tarnished. I hate it when that happens. Lets just be happy that there is a possibility that the firmware upgrade will allow game developers add more features to their games…
I cant wait till E3…I need to hit the lottery so many things I want so lil money lol
anything you want to add sony, bring it on
Some crazy ideas – How bout some Netflix?
online VS singstar…… come on sony.. lol
Maybe we’ll finally be able to share videos to friends. Whatever it is, I hope it will be big.
