It's a rumor, and if it becomes true, that stinks, because I'd want 1.90 instead :).

0.01 firmwares are usually bug fixes or minor updates of the previous 0.1 firmware. Don't be expecting anything that will make a huge difference.

Thats a stupid thing to say. Fixing anything is not lame. Fixing something is always a good thing. Its not like you would be expecting a massive update for 1.81. its not like its 2.0 or anything.

That's exactly his point, the update for the month fixes one thing? That's not very favorable or even expected.

Thank you for explaining things a little bit better, he obviously took things way too out of context.. I mean what the hell is the point of releasing a new firmware update.. if it's only for one small thing. Every update we've had so far has had more than one thing new to it. Hell.. I'm only waiting on 2.0 as far as updates go.

I can't believe some of you people actually have a problem with a firm where update that fixes a problem. Why should it matter if it only fixes one problem. The fact that it fixes that problem should be all that matters. I swear some of you people have been so freakin spoiled by the bigger firmware updates that you expect every firmware update to be big. That's just a stupid way of thinking. Plus isn't italready known that the bigger updates don't happen until at-least every 3 or 4 months. So knowing that common since should tell you that all the other updates that come before that will probably be smaller updates. These updates help make the PSN better by fixing thes problems. Sony deserves alot of credit for consistently doing things to make the PSN better.

the point of realesing such a small update is to fix the problem as soon as possible instead of the people who have the problem hving to wait for another month for update 1.85(custom wallpapers). when they couldve got it outt of the way a month ago.

people who say these smaller updates are pointless obviously aren't affected by the problems that are fixed by the update. yet it would be the same people complaining big time if they had a problem and sony didnt release a "pointless" update to fix it

You shouldn't say things like that. I mean we do have people on here who get so hyped up when someone claims an update or PS3 announcement to be hot or important.

Totally agree, and when Sony doesn't deliver on the rumour. They get the blame even if Sony never released an official statement.
