PS3 Updates are largely pointless to a gamer and im getting damn well fed up.

I don't understand the purpose of this thread unless there is something I'm not grasping. Esplain too meh plox?

Well not being rude but at the end of the day theres nothing you can do,well yes there is cry about or dont play the system at all.

And getting a 360 is not going too help ether I have one and they do the samething sony does too..

[QUOTE="jwsoul"] No it is a problem your missing the point of the post. i play games on my PS3 as do the vast majority owners i do not see why we have to download updates that have nothing todo with the gameplaying features of the PS3. Bad design choice is the only thing i can think of! RedCat65

Oh, well you can't really complain about something that's free.

It's free stuff.

It's like ads on a website... if you want to remove the ads (read: annoyances) then you have to go premium and pay up, so like I said, you might as well just buy a 360.

No you get an addon like Adblock or something, and the Xbox 360 get's updates too so your point is invalid, you pay for Xbox but you'll still have to download updates to go online just as much as PSN.

Ok, so apparently you didn't read my next post after that one.

I never said the 360 didn't get updates. I said that in relation to how TC feels about the updates: the only way to justify complaining about mandatory updates on an internet service is with a subscription fee, which PSN doesn't even have.

So he's complaining about something he shouldn't be, because he isn't even paying for it.

The way I see it, as long as PSN is free, Sony can make us download whatever we want, and I'm sure this is in their Terms of User Agreement.You don't have to play online, but if you want to, you need to download this update because it's better than doing that, and then charging you $50 a year.

lol, It happens.

take a chillaxitive...in the end all it is is a FU so just download it and play your damn games some more....or just buy a 360....hows that sound?

Sony markets the PS3 as an "all-in-one" entertainment centre. Hence the tagline: it only does everything.

The average gamer might not care about things like facebook, but you aren't being forced to use it. Also, those updates fix various issues that aren't usually documented. Notice how the friends list looks better now?

They're all optional

Jaysonguy

No, using them

Facebook? I dont want Facebook on my damn PS3!

Somthing about being able to view photos better?

Oh and some rubbish todo with your friends list.

Honestly why dose this additional data prevent the average GAMEPLAYER from going online and playing his PS3. Im at a loss why these largekly pointless updates should affect our abbility to go online in general. Surely versions to not matter when it comes to playing Demons Souls or CODMW2 online do they?

I mean Facebook WTH man....
