That’s my thoughts this is just an update to prime the PSN for something epic at E#.

As was mentioned, these mysterious firmware updates usually enable some uber-secret feature that pops up right around the corner.

@TheHater

There are times when Sony can’t immediately divulge what a new firmware does, especially when they have a big reveal coming up. Guess what’s right around the corner? … … …

I would like to mention that this update broke Galatrix. It will not load my save file and wants me to create a new one. I have submitted it to Sony and the PQ peeps. And no comments about buying Galactrix as I have every Game, Retail PSN or DLC extra released for PS3 as a collector and reviewer. But I am seriously ticked. I was 3 gates away from the 30 Leapgate Trophy.

@ MakaiOokami

personally, the updates dont bother me…….my connections blazing fast and rarely mess’s up.

Sony needs to just add info on what the update actually address.. They should add it by the accept option right before downloading. Just because we are close to E3 doesn’t mean anything. i do agree on that EVERY update adds to something else and is the building blocks to another good feature.

so far:
1. video format update
2. Trophies don’t need their game reopened to display after a hard drive upgrade or backup restore
3. seems faster overall

I’m all for updates btw, whatever the procedure.

Could be just a minor fix. Ok off to play some WORMS

Trophies are instantaneous now (i.e. a bit faster than even the last update). We also got the Divx fix that Robotron mentioned. Let’s see what else pops up.

I hope the Divx codec is fixed because it’s been botched for awhile. At least I have XBMC to fall back on.

I would think that there are some tweaks needed in the firmware for the next Home update v1.2 that was delayed last April. They might have found a problem with the FW/OS and needed to adjust it so that the Home update would work better.

@TheHater… How long does it take to do these minor updates? Took me like 5-10 minutes. Jeez man can you please stop nit picking every little thing?

I’ll love it if there is a time locked special feature that gets released during E3 just like last year when the Vid store magically appeared.

It only makes Sony look bad when dumbnuts go “This looks bad Sony” and some moron goes “Oh he’s talking bad about Sony must be true then”

How exactly does it look bad to fix some minor things that take the same amount of time as a snack/piss/crap break. Wah wah wah… once every couple of months you have to wait a few minutes. You don’t know what the update does. It could be the last step before they give you your most wanted feature. You don’t know. So quit being such a pessimist and assuming that everything is as it seems. We’re right before E3 use some logic, some common sense and just give them a benefit of a freaking doubt.

If you were a Sony insider going “I wish we wouldn’t do these small pointless updates. They really make people waste time and it’s making us look bad.” then maybe you’d have a freaking point.

How much time are you REALLY wasting doing the update. I want minutes and seconds and how that destroyed your activities for the day. I also want a list of every single change made by this update so that you can point out why each and every one of them is pointless.

Either that or you can just keep your dang trap shut.
