What are peoples good and bad opinions to the new firmware update, what could have been in there that wasnt, and should they make it a defo for the next update.

Mine is probably playing music while playing games, in both ps2, and ps3 games. I can just imagine on mgs3 hard mode, not wanting to get seen, sitting in a bush waiting for the russian soldier to show himself, but also not wanting to get seen, then just a good moral boosting song on, and make the kill...........brillant, i hope its in the next one.

I read some where(don't remember/find link) that in the 2.00 firmware update that you can access the XMB from games.  This will lead to being able to access and run music and and video chat(as well as basic chatting and messaging).  But as this is to be in the 2.00 update it could still be a few updates away.  It all depends on how SONY views thier strategy.

Mine have saved.  I haven't had to change my setting once since I switched to full.

EDIT: to maximize your Full range go to this site http://sr-388.net/images/patterns/Brightness.jpg

This link will tell you what the difference is and what to do with the link above. http://www.gameswank.com/content/view/126/1/

Some HDTV's don't support the full RGB range.  In this case limited is the best option.  Those links will help you decide.

2.00 isn't fake. It will come eventually. It's just what will exactly be in it that could be fake.

I like it, the upscaling works really nice for Movies, I haven't tried it with games yet. All I need now is the Wallpaper option and I'll be set.

Well...the ability to save your PS1/PS2 memory onto a memory card with the memory card adapter is a very good thing. It sucks though for the people that bought the adapter and took it back already after using it once.

The media server workds great for me, and this is the same wireless router that I have. You must have some sort of setting incorrect. Using WMP 11, Nero 7 MediaCenter or Twonkyvision? Cause you should be. I have been streaming tons of vids and music to my PS3 via the WRT54G since the day of the update NO PROBLEM at all.

Well for a feature that it does have ; The smoothing doesn't really make things "cleaner" in my opinion

 

Feature that isn't there ; WHERE IS THAT BLOODY WALLPAPER OPTION?!!!

:shock: really. i thought it was a problem with that router. i have WMP 11, a WRT54G v5 upgraded and all, and it still dont work. it keeps booting all the computers on the network. from reading gamespot and ps forums i thought it was a common problem with the router. i guess not.

I would have liked some clear explanations about the PC/server thing, it took me forever to configure all, and then I had no files being shared because I didn't know the file option to share them ...
