THE DIRECTOR Posted November 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Latest PS3 Firmware v2.01 breaks CoD4 online? Many angry gamers have posted up at the Official forums that since updating their PS3's with the new firmware update, they have been unable to play CoD 4 online. A number of users suggested that a got a few hours of play in after updating before the glitches began, so this might suggest that it is not just the FW at fault but that won't stop people from speculating that it is. http://www.charlieoscardelta.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE DIRECTOR Posted December 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Sony: We know in-game PS3 XMB access is important and we're working hard Speaking to Game Informer, Sony's Peter Dille revealed that the company understands in-game XMB access is a feature important to their consumers. But as the PS3 is so advanced it takes time to implement major new features. However, he reassures us that the team is working hard on this feature as they continually evolve the feature set of the Playstation 3 console. "As far as in-game XMB access, we know it's a feature that's important to our consumers. Because PS3 packs so much advanced technology 'under the hood,' it takes some time to implement major, new functionalities, but we are working hard on addressing this feature, as well as continually expand the capabilities and functionalities of PS3." http://www.maxconsole.net/?mode=news&newsid=23313 http://www.psu.com/Sonys-Peter-Dille-talks...a0002074-p0.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
