Update 1.80 is trash... Where is the in-game accessable XMB?

[QUOTE="roadkill88"]

Cry-babying because in-game XMB wasn't included? Well, its no surprise that you're whining about that if you consider it important. I mean anyone who has trouble waiting 4.7 seconds to get back to the main PS screen is obviously going to act like a spoilt brat and cry all day.

lol. seriously. these are the types of people who will complain about free food cause it wasn't their favorite dish. some people are never happy. their PS3 could fly around the room shooting pixie dust out the disc tray and do their homework for them and they'd still be mad that it didn't wash the dished and take out the trash lol.  

Also, this update doesn't enable the PS3 to lift us and take us to Burger King where it buys us meals so we can get even fatter and slobbier.  I mean come on Sony, this update sucks.  Why bother releasing it at all?  I expected better from you, Sony.  You know what?  I'm sorry i even bought a PS3 now.

Sony, if 1.90 doesn't play the f**cking games for me, then i'm selling my system and going to Burger King.

Um...people...there is no update 1.80. I have the playstation website open right now, and the only update on the site is 1.70.DSPX

It is comming out tomorrow, even AOTS is talking about it 

When do you think that will come out? I really didn't get a PS3 to play upscaled PS2 games...

You didn't buy a PS3 to access the XMB in game either, since we all knew that feature was not there before launch. 

i thought that 2.0 was supposed to come out tommorow?xxjeran123xx

No, 1.8 comes out tomorow. 2.0 will surely come out this summer. 

Do you honestly think what kind of "reputation" I have on a online game forum? People can call me the biggest baby on here if they want to, but in reality they would never say anything like that into other peoples faces that could woop there @ss. Logan832

I say why argue on here anyways? It's pointless, fighting is pointless. Let's atleast try to be civilized.

I'm a bit bummed myself, cause I want custom wallpaper and avatar abilties. I like having more choices, and that life stream flow gets boring lol

We complaining because for a 700$ machine, we have no costumisation, and for a console gaming system, the 360 have better feature for a better price too.

 Look at this, no costum soundtrack yet, no access to the XMB yet so if you have a message when playing you have to quit the game...and finaly, a simple task to allow us to put every pic we want as a wallpaper is not here? I dont understand this. for the price that the system cost, I think we should have some basic fonctions like this.

Okay and what is Sony doing? For all the past updates I see Sony has listened to their fans and given them something they want so stop complaining. Tell me this did the 360 launch with those features...NO! They've had a year to do all that stuff and Sony has done a lot of it in about 6 months so just wait Jesus Christ I hate these babies these days like I can understand if you were complaining and Sony wasn't doing anything, but they're giving you what you want.

uhm... the bluray player allow justifies the price.. and how about the wifi ? .. rechargeble controllers..web broweser..free online..

Jezus this console has the most functions ever and people keep wanting more because they actually had to pay a very reasonalbe price??

And everything is going to come in due time..just play some games..you know what you bought the thing for.

And yet, our system runs reliably.

I dink dats werth teh prizce een gahld. 

dont get me wrong, I love my ps3, but some basic fonctions is not there and I just dont understand why..Just the possibility to answer a message in game will be a good thing for me, or the ability to invite someone direct in your game instead of a pre-fab message. Thats what I'm saying.

But yes, the controlers, multimedia fonctions of the ps3 is pretty good, but I just want to have the basic fonction for a HDD console, like costum soundtracks, Sony have no excuses to dont have this right now

I love the fact Sony has been very consistent with these firmware updates. as a previous post stated, the other machine didn't come with everything available on it currently on its first day either. What's important is that we are consistently getting GREAT features added to our machine on a monthly basis. Lay off the haterade, do u gals even have a PS3, or have those other consoles become so boring that u get your **** and giggles by crying on the ps3 forum. The overwhelming majority of PS3 owners LOVE their machine, especially its near 0 failure rate.

BTW, a lot of the missing features WILL be enabled once HOME goes live, the Home service will be so expansive that they want to perfect it during this time so they can get all of the upcoming VOD/in game messaging etc.. tho work correctly within the service. Even remote play will be beefed up to include games once HOME is up and running.

When do you think that will come out? I really didn't get a PS3 to play upscaled PS2 games...

1.80 rules! 2.0 kicks ass! And the future 3.0 will PWN ALL! You better recognize!

I have no complaints about 1.80, though I'll take a wait-and-see approach with putting my PS2 away depending on how the upscaling works (and thus looks) on my 61" 1080P over HDMI.

I'm only posting here because I hate when false information is given out. All the features mentioned were available on the 360 at launch. And except for custom wallpapers, those features were available on the original Xbox for years as well (as long as the game supported them since it wasn't OS-based then). It honestly bothers me when people say, "oh, the PS3 has only been around for so long," when the concept of online console gaming was announced for the PS2 before the Xbox was even announced and Sny has had years to study and formulate a strategy. The PS3's release date is no "do-over", Sony's been in the online game for years and doesn't deserve to be cut any slack.

When we get the update, though, I'll be hoping GTA: Vice City Stories doesn't look like garbage as it does now (and missing that, re-playing Ratchet & Clank at 1080P).

THATS RIGHT!  and the 360 was completely backwords compatible and XBL had every feature it has today, along with all of the video downloads and everything.  It even had Windows messenger when it was released.  There was never a time when XBL didn't have voice chat and extensive lists of downloadable content or that it didn't have the ability to post personal wall paper.  It's always had complete access to xbox dashboard in and outside games!  NO QUESTIONS ASKED!!!:P

The only features mentioned in what you quoted were custom soundtracks, access to XMB and custom wallpapers, which were all there at launch. This topic supposedly is about the lack of XMB access in-game, and the 360's basic feature set was there from launch through the Dashboard.

Yes, both systems have received updates, but the core of multiplayer gaming (unified friends, voice, messaging, game invites and such) was there from the start on the 360 and available in every game through the OS, and it's certainly reasonable for other PS3 owners to question why this functionality is missing on our PS3s.

 Actually if the 360 offers EVERYTHING you need in a game console then just go get it and be a happy 360 owner, no point coming over here and dissing the PS3 just because it's from a different company which OBVIOUSLY is a totally different machine from the 360.

The point is, different companies do things differently, so you like company A's product just go get it and be happy. Why would you complaint about company B's product and then saying it doesn't have so and so features that company A's product has?? Just ignore company B's poduct. But instead you come to company B's product discussion page and then shoot it down with all kinds of explanations saying it's worse than company A's product. There is a name for this kind of posts, it's called trolling.

You obviously doesn't like company B's product so why get it in the first place (if indeed you bought it at all).

i have a psp, and sony updates almost every month or two. what other consol/handheld can say that?

but with a year to look at what is working for the 360, sony should have been able to identify a lot more features that should be standered. much like ms zune compared to the ipod, whith the zune coming out with no podcast, wrong. and the zune marketplace? a software company as big and prominent as microsoft should be ashamed at what a hog it is.

the ps3 should have access to the one thing that allows you to control it, the xmb. and being able to listen to your own music when playing a game, or streaming from your computer. a unified friends list, how basic does that seem. i love my ps3, watched planet earth on blu ray last weekend and was blown away. first off, that kind of nature show is just damn cool, and the hd quality is just fantastic. saw it on tv the next day, still a cool show, just looked like s...

ive only had one 360 die on me, still unecceptable, but ive read about others who have had 5,6, even 7 die on them...

i just hope your right that home will add a lot of the features that we all would like and that they dont rush it out. wait till its done and done correctly the first time.

the 1.8 update, while not as big a deal as the rumered 2.0 update, still adds a couple of big things... dvd upscaling to 1080p, thats pretty impressive.

dont get me wrong, i love my 360. but i also love my ps3. both have thier positives and negatives...

imagine sonys hardware and microsofts software (after a couple of updates, like any ms product).  that would be a damn good system to game on...
