This is really annoying me...when will it be possible for us to go to our XMB's during gameplay? Like the 360 accesses their dashboard with no issues, and while playing a game.

Is there any rumor about this...I feel like Sony isn't delivering it's best possible updates for the system. I'm still looking for upscaling....

Upscaling would be nice. So would XMB access. I'm sure they're on the way.

They also need full customization of the wallpaper, this isn't cutting it. The PSP has it, why not the PS3?!?! They could also use the RSS feature on the XMB, I would not mind listening to audio podacsts streaming in my living room, and the occasional video podcast feeds.

I thought you could change it already...was I mislead?

Background downloading is very nice, and so is everything else they upgraded but where are the important things like upscaling, XMB access while gaming and I really would like Multitaking to let me play music while gaming....

The ability to support more types of media (video or audio) would be welcomed as well. Although I'm sure Sony would run into some copyright protection issues if they embraced my idea.

if so, plese let me know.  I spent hours looking for it and searched online with no luck.  I have no probs changing it on my PSP, so either I don't know what I am doing on my new PS3, or the setting is HARD to find. :?

Meh. that's not urgent right now.

More formats supported, custom background, and accessing XMB while playing.Those are urgent.

Peronsally, I think upscaling, XMB access, and of course HOME are urgent... When can we ever hope to see these things happening, excluding HOME because it doesn't matter much. But, is any of the others in rumor of ever happening?

XMB access is my most important one. It really is THE thing thats cripping the fun while playing my ps3 for me. Its like, either games or friends, one or the other. Instead of 'Why not have both' that my 360 gives me.

Jeez, people need to settle the f*** down. It'll come, probably with update 2.0...Until then, stop complaining, please! Sony tries a different route, heaven forbid, and gets ripped for it.

normally, if the consumer asks for it, Sony gives it to them. That doesn't mean they are going to do it overnight. I am sure Sony is working on it, but who knows when it will be released.

It took Microsoft a while to update it's dashboard to where it is now. If the 360 didn't have any of the features that it had now, nobody would care if the PS3 had them. but everybody sees that the 360 has these features, and expects Sony to make it happen in one day. that's not going to happen. some of these updates take time...just like developing games. Do you want Sony to rush an update and brick your PS3? It seems that Microsoft does that alot. I am perfectly happy that Sony takes their time and makes the updates seemless. I have not heard one problem of a PS3 update causing the PS3 to totally crap out and not work anymore. but there seems to be that problem everytime an update on the 360 is released. That's why I wait atleast two weeks after the update is released before I download it. It has taken Microsoft 5 years to get Live to where it's at today. and you people expect Sony to do it in 6 months? please

Eclipsed brings up a good point. These updates, small and insignificant as some might consider them, are stable and constantly improving the system. That's definitely something I appreciate.

God! I love this guy XD You are so right.If MS gets 5 years to upgrade live, Sony must only take 6 months to upgrade the entire system to perfection!

Has for the games...I need to agree that PS3 has few. But hey, it's only been 6 months and we already have some good games.

It's always nice to be able to customize and personalize things that are yours. should be not too much to ask for. This isn't communist Cuba or anything. :roll:

 

Besides, PC wallpapers has been customizable since the 90's.. It's not THAT hard to do.

I belive that we wont get customizable wallpapers for out xmb. I remember phill saying in a past interview that he likes the background the way it is. He said that when he was asked about the background being customizable. Anyways, it's not nothing we 100% need. We'll be able to hook our home homes up with wallpapers when home is launched, so just wait.
