muhahahah...u'll got OWNED

 

this feature is there by default on the PS3...i've been switching on my ps3 using the controller from day1...even before i installed any update.

Just to clarify a few things:

 

-u can switch on the ps3 with the controller only if u have shut it down with the controller.

 

if u have shut it down using the touch button on the ps3 or just switched off the power then u can not switch on using the controller

 

TRY IT FOR URSELF AND SEE. :tongue4:

 

oops...i missed it..

thanks for the info :(

Firmware 2.50 adds hidden recovery menu

 

recovery425ps3.jpg

 

It appears that firmware 2.50 also added one other feature, meant to help PS3 owners that are trying to troubleshoot their system. A recovery menu (pictured above) gives users access to a variety of restore features. It will even allow users to install a new firmware update, should anything go wrong during the installation process. To access the menu, you must hold down the power button to turn on the PS3 until you hear three beeps. Then the menu will show up.

 

There are a few reports of systems bricking after firmware updates, so this may be Sony's attempt at creating a fix for future problems. Hopefully, we'll never have to actually use this feature -- but if we do, it may be a quick way of avoiding a trip to the post office to send the PS3 to Sony's support center.

ya.. it happens... the next word used to come on the right panel right after i finished typing the first word.

 

but after the update, the next word doesn't come. instead, i have to type the first letter of the next word and the word pops up in the right panel. not that bad actually

-The playback quality of some PS3 format software has been improved.

PS3 Update 2.53 Makes Flash Bigger

 

firmware253.jpg

 

Hot on the heels of the monumentally ho-hum version 2.52 update, Sony is ready to unleash an all-new world of excitement with firmware update 2.53, scheduled for release tomorrow.

 

According to the update notes, the firmware update will introduce full-screen support for Adobe Flash Player content in the web browser, meaning you'll be able to full-screen your choppy internet porn instead of just sitting really close the the TV and squinting.

 

The writers from the future on the PlayStation website mention that firmware 2.53 was released on November 26th. Our time stream should be catching up to theirs shortly.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

EDIT: looks like they took it off after a while for some reason.

 

maybe they'll put it back up later.
