I've always noticed that the text when I received a message is much lower than the resolution out of game.

Took a break from watching football to take a look myself. Looks and performs exactly as it did before. If it did occur it isn't noticeable, graphically or performance-wise.

Seeing as how TC is the only source we have to even think it happened, I'm gonna call BS. But if anyone has a real source about it, please share.

I did a quick search and found no such news. It's funny how fanboys now jump all over an unsubstantiated claim, but that was to be expected.

PS3: it only does downgrading

RogueShodown

I lol'd. But seriously, they're downgrading the already weak in-game XMB :?

How would you know they downgraded it if you don't have a PS3. Do you believe anything you're told as long as it's in your favor?

Oh so I don't have a ps3... Or maybe you just got offended by what I said so you're making ridiculous assumptions? I haven't played recently enough to get the update but it sure doesn't sound like they're catching up to XBL with this one.

edit: Looks like it could bs. I never said I noticed a downgrade in the first place though, because as I mentioned, I don't even have the update.

Update 3.50 wasn't created to catch up to XBL cause XBL doesn't have 3D support for Blu-ray movies... :?

Shows how much I know. But all I've ever said in this thread was that the in-game XMB could be better.

ya know what makes me laugh? how the ps3 tells me i didn't turn it off the right way every time i turn it on.

see, it's not their fault that they can't make a system that can figure out wth happened when my powersaver strip turns off the system it's my fault for owning the powersaver strip.

lulz, typical stuff, blame the user not their own incompetence.

True, but let's start with having the in-game XMB atleast begin to match what the full XMB has. Kinda like what MS is trying to accomplish with XBL.

No link, false thread. No need to comment on complete falsities.

Also, you shouldn't turn off any of your consoles or computer with a powerstrip button.

heh, it's attached to everything in the entire a/v setup and saves me like $100 a year in vampire energy leeching.

10 mins after the tv goes off it cuts the power to the plugsof 7 different things.

if it ruins anything then lesson learned but until then i'm using it.

If that makes it significantly faster, than I'm going to start doing a dance, because that was one of the things that annoyed me about the PS3.

sikanderahmed
they are probably trying to make more room for games, theres no need for a hi res xmb when your rival has extra memory for miniscule improvements in textures that everyone will examine online.

wow really.... you mean that XMB thats useless ? why would it mater if its sub HD while I'm playing a game. I did noticed yesterday that it was faster, while I went to quit the game. So the sub HD sounds like a good thing to me.

[QUOTE="ImprovedMind"] That is not the point. I respect your opinion, but why should we be happy with them lowering the resolution to solve the problem when simple optimization will do the exact same thing. This just sounds like a lazy company to me.

You ever worked in a place and seen how issues like this are treated? I find it perfectly valid to do a work around like this for an issue not worth investing time into. Its not being lazy, its prioritiizing what is more important. The issue with a XMB loading a bit slowly during a game would be a Priority: Low, as far as I'd see it, and a workaround which solves the problem without taking up too much time is the obvious route to take.

Yes it was and still is, I haven't updated yet so I don't know if they changed anything. It's incredibly slow and a lot slower than 360's in game menu.
