Japanese PS3’s Get Firmware 1.5

The PlayStation Store will have some more payment options. Currently you can only pay via credit card. Now the PS3 will accept the “Edy” system pre-paid electronic money. You’ll need a IC Reader/Writer connected to your PS3. Sony is also updating the PlayStation 2 backwards backwards compatibility. You’ll also be able to use your own photo as your system user icon. There is no word of a North America release yet.

PS3 firmware version 1.5 (almost) ready for download

Then Europe will get 2.0 with lots of features

I swear to you!

(I am happy, my Notebook came back from warranty today… HD crash. They also changed the dvd drive, which was perfectly in order… dunno why)

they usually have the x.0 update coincide with some major event. So europe launch will be probably when we see 2.0. PSP’s 3.0 update roughly coincided with the PS3 launch.

Emrah : Me too, I have the UK invitation, and I had not even downloaded any theme. Seems gimmicky and unnecessary, that home thing.
Sporty : You can always play the damn arcade games to unlock more cloths lol
jerryhat : That/s right, it does seem to be lacking in content. But i was impressed by the client and the network. All seemed very smooth.
Trev : got into home last night too. there's nothing to do except talk to people...
Gary : Got mine too. Downloading it now.
jerryhat : Got my Home beta invite, in the UK, when did they start habding them out?
Blackstaffer : You can use a bunch of different apps to folow twitter messages (called tweets) or you can go to twitter.com/ps3blogdotnet
Segitz : Twitter is like a IM but on a webpage and everybody can read itg
Segitz : Twitter is like a IM but on a webpage and everybody can read itg
Gary : What is Twitter? Something similar to Facebook?
Blackstaffer : You can now follow ps3blog.net on twitter! Our name is ps3blogdotnet.
Tosh : Happy turkey day!
mcloki : Happy Thanksgiving Everyone
bunnyhero : @fleakitten: hopefully this means that the exclusive dlc will just be timed exclusive.
fleakitten : Tomb Raider Underworld sales more PS3 on day one. «link» Maybe Eidos should give PS3 users some exclusive content instead.
Burten : lol. Not to take the discussion to the shotbox, but come on..? Nobody likes all games, its that simple. Some like the mother, other like the daughter Keep your "hate-articles" coming, Gary!
Gary : Thanks Segitz. There are some crazy people that take what is written as if it is a personal insult.
Segitz : Gary, I found your article about LBP very good. I too was quite unimpressed by it after some time! Just ignore those ranting idiots^^
Trev : some photos i took on wipeout hd «link» check it!
Blackstaffer : Emrah: you'd be disappointed. It's cool at first, but then you realize that there's nothing to DO.
Emrah : Oh, I wish I was in the beta to meet you guys.
Tosh : I think Home v1.0 is groundwork for things to come.
mcloki : It was nice meeting you guys in the Home Beta.It's Promising but needs to do plenty to fulfill it's promise.
Pc : Finally picked up LBP, but i have soo many new games to finsh playing first. Btw, Tomb Raider: Underworld is pretty good....I've always loved Tomb Raider though...
fleakitten : 'Little Big Planet' Revolutionizes How to 'Play' Video Games «link»
Blackstaffer : Cool!
Pc : @Blackstaffer and anybody else who wants to know....I have those trigger attachments for both of my controllers and they work great! It feels weird playing without them now.
Trev : can't say my fingers have ever slipped off the shoulder buttons but i have read about people liking them.
Emrah : Another Sony screw-up. With the new interface, you cannot create a sub-account for people over 18. This is stupid. In the license agreement, it says you can, but sub-account choices are not displayed at all if you pick an over 18 age. Please advise..
Tosh Hatch : I would like to get some myself.
Tosh Hatch : I've heard they are really good actually.
Blackstaffer : Does anybody use these trigger thingys? Are they good? «link»
Tosh Hatch : You just beat the single player campaign. And FYI they are working on more DLC already for the game.
Pc : or does it have to be just single player campaign ?
Pc : Hey, does anybody know if you can unlock the zombie mode in COD: WAW while playing the co-op campaign?
