True .. nothing wrong with voicing an opinion ..

But there's a difference between voicing an opinion and whining like an ungrateful little school boy ..

Problem is everyone hyped themselves so much for the update ..

The people on these sites and others aren't the only PS3 users .. there are millions of us, some people can't deal with it .. they want want want want want want .. it's sad.

One quick thing about that... I did not hype this update. The instant they announced it, I knew it was minor, I was not excited for it at all. The problem is not that this update added minor features. The problem is that this update RUINED several aesthetic points of the XMB. The XMB used to be a graceful and beautiful system. Now, I cringe every time I see it.

Your point?

Maybe I should have worded that differently .. many, upon many people hyped this update like it was an exclusive game ..

If you can voice your opinion in a mature manner than all the power to you .. but I LIKE the update, and the new look ..

So now the uproar of all these little boys gets to Sony and they change it? How is that fair to myself and others?

Problem is not everyone is going to be happy, which is understandable, but the way everyone is going off it's like the **** world is going to end ..

I understand that a lot of people are whining about it etc., but a lot of people are unhappy with it. More so than normal. A substantial amount of PS3 owners are not happy with it. I personally just want people to speak out if they don't like it, because we want Sony to know that a large portion of their loyal fanbase dislikes the update. Now, a fair solution would be to make those aesthetic changes optional. You already are given the option to change to font in the XMB. Why not give us the option to make the font a smaller size? And why not give us the option to take off the blur effect? The PS3 has a lot of customizability. It would be very easy for Sony to make those changes optional. I do have a theory about the blur effect though. I highly doubt that 'dynamic' backgrounds are blurred. Sony wants more people to buy the moving backgrounds, so what better way to do it than to ruin any free backgrounds we use? Just a theory, if they make the blur effect optional in the future I will disregard this theory.

So it's ok for some of you to complain about complainers, but it's not ok for some to voice their displeasure with what most seem to think are ugly changes to the XMB?:?

There is nothing, absolutely nothing wrong with people saying they don't like it. It's not like people are selling their system or committing suicide over this, they're just unhappy with some of the changes and letting those concerns be heard.

After all, if nobody every voiced their opinion, do you think Sony would have implemented some of the more awesome things that they have in the past? No.

If you're fine with the changes, great. I'm happy for you. Try showing the same respect to the ones who don't like the changes.

We're complaining BECAUSE we want the PS3 to evolve into the best thing it can be. We're complaining BECAUSE this is a BIG step backwards for PS3 firmware updates. We're complaining because, well, this update is a mistake. I do not hate Sony. I love my PS3. More than my 360, more than any other console I've ever owned except the PS2. But let's face it: there are a lot of things wrong with this update. The least Sony could have done is made those visual changes optional. The blur effect, the font size, the friends list, etc. Surely it wouldn't be too much to ask to make those optional? Surely SOMEONE in the Sony office cringed when they saw how UGLY the new XMB is?

If you haven't gotten it yet and don't really use PSN anyways, don't get it. Wait until sony fixes it. It's terrible. Font size is ugly and huge, the wallpaper blur effect is nauseating, the friends list horrendous, and the upper right hand corner that displays your gamercard has a constant stream of ads below it. This update redefined my perception of what a bad update is. I used to think the worst that could happen is that we get a bunch of crappy new features. Instead, we got a bunch of crappy new features and got many of the essential XMB features we already had changed for the worse.

Yes ladies and gentlemes Updates are NOT free, so start complaining.

I m here often reading posts and i see a lot of people complaining about the updates and other people replaying: Well HEY they are free so dont complain!

And here comes my point: Updates arent free, SONY IS PAYING PEOPLE to make them, right now there are teams (maybe 10-30 people) making this updates and they do receive a salary from sony.But someone isnt listening someone... is just saying things like: Who needs cross voice chat?who needs a better xmb? lets just make 3d background and call it a major update.

Well that person should be fired and if we * shut up* about it and try to *conform* with these silly updates and that person ( or persons) will still be making them.

So lets complain!!! let our voices be heard!

What say you fellow cow? will you join me on the battlefield?

Emailing sony would be more effective... post on GS not so much... im just saying

But posting on GS allows for a way for people to rally together and get the word out, that we don't want the crap Sony is handing us. And yes, the update has a million thigns wrong with it. There isn't a signle new 'feature' on it that I appreciate. Whoever worked on this update should be fired. I actually have less of an urge to play my PS3 simply because I hate using the XMB now.

I am copying and pasting the complaint I have posted in another forum somewhere else: I completely agree, this update sucks. I knew it would suck when it was announced, but it turned out to make the firmware worse. The font size is terrible. the blur effect is nauseating and defeats the purpose of having a wallpaper 80 percent of the time. The friends list is horrendous. The gamer box thing in the upper right hand corner would be nice if there wasn't a constant stream of ads right below it. I'm not an "anti-Sony" fanboy. I own a PS3 and 360 and like my PS3 more than my 360. I like Sony better than Microsoft as a company. But I am calling this update out for what it is: a huge stinking pile of crap. We need to be heard by Sony, ASAP. We need them to fix this. And we need them to fire that d-bag Eric Lempel. Just because PSN is free doesn't mean they should actually be making our firmwares WORSE.

I just got it. I was wrong. This update doesn't suck. It REALLY sucks. I thought it would be adding nothing new but do no harm. This update made the firmware WORSE! The icons on the XMB are bigger, the font is larger, and it's annoying. The wallpaper blurs when you select a subfolder to go into on the XMB, meaning you cannot see your wallpaper in full clarity whenever you select something. I cannot find an option to turn this off. And the gamercard you egt in the top right hand corner? There is a constant stream of ads right below it. ANNOYING. And the only dynamic free theme you get is the classic Sony one, except now the background also has GLITTERY SPARKLES. JUST WHAT I ALWAYS WANTED. Lastly, there aren't any new avatars up yet. What kind of garbage is this?

FINAL FANTASY X. I have been hoping for so long to see a revival of this game in one form or another. FFX is my favorite game of all time. Just thinking about FFX getting the HD treatment and trophy support, not to mention PS3 support on my non-b/c PS3, is getting me really excited. Would be awesome if they realeased that and X-2 on the same Blu-Ray. I know X-2 wasn't a great game, but I mean might as well since it's Blu Ray. Also MGS 2 and 3 on a Blu-Ray would be the next best thing. Basically, I would re-buy almost every game in my PS2 collection if it got this treatment. I am planning on getting the God of War collection even though I have 1 and 2, and have no intention of selling my PS2 copies to get the PS3 version. I would do that same for FFX, X-2, XII, MGS2-3, DMC1 and 3, Kingdom Hearts 1-2, and a LOT more games. This GoW announcement really makes up for the fact that a POS update is coming out later today.

I've seen it a while ago and I must agree that it is a great documentary and really sums up quite nicely all the things taht are wrong with drug laws in this country, specifically marijuana laws and its many uses (not to mention its harmlessness as a drug). However, I don't think this is the right place to post about it, even if it is somewhat xbox related because of Netflix. This thread will probably get locked, but still, I agree watch this documentary, we need to make some serious changes to drug laws in this country, and legalizing it would definitely help save the economy. Just saying.

I thought the release date was moved to September 8?
