Rumor: PS3 firmware 3.0 'a completely new system'


Recommended Posts

Sure, PS3 Firmware 2.80 didn't do much – what did it do again? – but if a new rumor out of VG247 is to be believed, firmware 3.0 will deliver "a completely new system" to the PS3 and it'll do it by Christmas. So, let's run down this list, shall we? This "huge overhaul" will include "a reputation system," a "grief reporting system," support for background patch downloading, and "simultaneous HDMI and digital optical outputting" (we're assuming this means simultaneous HDMI audio and optical audio output ... though we're not sure who that would be useful to).

 

That's it? That doesn't sound like a "completely new system" to us. VG247 says they've been told more, but we'll "just have to wait" before they share that info – uh, thanks? So, does that list check off any of your must have features? We know, we know ... voice chat is still missing so other than that?

This one claims that Firmware 3.0 will be out by Christmas and bring a complete overhaul in the vein of the new Xbox Experience. The rumor says you can expect background patch downloading, a reputation system, and more.

there is a voice chat isn't there? I've used it before. It's in the same option as starting a text chat. Or is he talking about something different?

 

in game chat, you cant talk while in game.

 

For example im on cod4 and you on socom, we cant talk. We want to talk, thats the feature we want.
