SCEA Details PS3 Firmware 2.70

 

If you've been anxiously awaiting the next significant firmware update for the PlayStation 3, your wait is over.

 

SCEA has announced the details for update 2.70, and it includes a bunch of new features "that enhance how PS3 users communicate and interact with their online friends." We don't have an exact release date but we know it'll be "available soon," and we'll receive a brand new Text Chat option for use on the PSN. Furthermore, the Friends list will get a bit of an upgrade on the Cross Media Bar (XMB), and we'll also see "improvements to the video delivery service on the PlayStation Store." If you wish to chat, you can use the Wireless Keypad, the on-screen keyboard, or any compatible keyboard peripherals. You will have access to up to three chat rooms at once, and each room will be able to hold up to 16 people. And yes, you will be able to access text chat while playing a PS3 game, so that's very cool.

 

As for the Friends list, you will now be able to sort your Friends by online status, and larger files can be attached to messages; they'll upgrade the limit from 1MB to 3MB. Lastly, the aforementioned upgrade to the video delivery service will let you back up purchased files on an external storage device; you'll be able to watch them after they've been restored to the PS3's internal hard drive. Oh, and any videos you bought for the PSP can also be played on the PS3 now. For a full video walkthrough, visit the official PlayStation blog.

^ Its a fail feature since it just does Google Search.

 

 

For me the entire 140+ mb download was a fail. There is no major feature upgrade or new audio/video file support. Maybe they should just release small patches for such updates rather than the whole 140mb download. Guess there firmware is not built to accept modular patches. Its a complete fail and waste of time. :)

^Yup, each firmare is released such that anyone can upgrade from any firmware. N yeah, the features are unimpressive. Most of the features in recent times have been related to music and photos. I rarely use my ps3 for music n photos, and I am pretty sure I am part of a majority in this

If you don't notice anything different with the above pic, don't bother posting here :)

 

 

Sorry for my ignorance but I couldn't help myself from posting and asking ? :doh:

 

EDIT: Oh maybe the remaining time it shows. But I would have been more excited if they would have introduced background download with time indicator.

pps dan.... still not popped in RE5 :fear:

 

I've applied firmwares from the US site too ...however there is a disclaimer on the site which says that the firmware from that site is specific to PS3s bought in the US ...maybe that would apply in case the updated firmware includes some patches for the NTSC specific console as against the PAL one.SO maybe we should be aware of that even if that isn't so right now.

 

BTW as regards the firmware I kept getting the irritating "system software update available" on my PS3 and cud not log into the PS store unless I did an online update. The actual firmware on the official site I think was up a day later...Useless 140 MB download....

wtf ?? there's some stupid error coming up ever since i updated to the new firmware.

 

Whenever i try to send a msg immediately after i log in, it gives me a 'The message could not be sent' error. It works fine after some time though.

 

anybody else facing this error ?

 

and, btw, the word prediction is workign better now... i'm loving it.
