Firmware
For the last few weeks, I’ve watched all hell break loose on the PS3 forums in regards to the (then) upcoming Firmware version 2.
Dean and I have laughed away at all the wild speculation, all the hopes and dreams. We watched as these hopes and assumptions became ‘possibilities’ and eventually they became accepted fact.
This was all quite ironic seeing as no official word had been given and you just knew deep down inside, that everyone was set for a huge surprise. Albeit a bad one.
Well, today the new Firmware arrived. Version 2.
And it delivered nothing that people were expecting. What a surprise!
It’s amazing how rumours and gossip become fact in this day and age. The Internet has allowed these rumours to perpetuate.. it becomes like a game, everyone else outdoing one another for the latest news and gossip - except none of it is true. For some reason though, everyone believes it.
So on launch day, you have hundreds.. thousands of grossly disappointed people. And all for what? A barrage of rumours.
Funny stuff.
What the new Firmware did deliver however, was a new look XMB and a bunch of miscellaneous fixes, polishing the menu system and getting us ever-so-closer to the release of ‘Home’.

PMSL Well all i can say is its a good job i didn’t book the day off work like i was going to :p I got in tonight and installed it and i was so shocked that it didn’t include any of the things we’d all hoped for……. rolleyes..
And one of the features i’ve even turned off… Not having that ticker thing up in the corner it bugs me….
So as i sit here FW2 has not changed my life one little bit and tbh i didn’t expect it to….
I’ll admit to being a PS gamer, but some PS gamers do need to get out more.. Mainly to a shop selling LIVES ! ! !
