DonR1503559521 Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 Just wondering if there is an official site where firmware suggestions can be submitted for Sony's consideration?
quietboy Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 try here www.youboughtourproductmadeusmoneynowbuggeroffandwhingetosomebodyelse.com on a serious note, have no idea. I would like somewhere where you can quickly change audio from HDMI to optical, very annoying nic
brodricj Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 I'd like it to be able to output analogue and digital video simultaneously. Very tedious if you've been gaming on the HDMI output the previous night, and next day you want to watch it on analogue TV. Need to fire up the projector just to navigate through the menu to change AV outputs. Also would like to output 720p with 1080p blu-ray media.

But, I agree the URL you are probably looking for is www.wehaveyourmoneywhywouldwecarewhatyouwantimproved.com Andrew.
sulimo Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 I imagine the best place currently would be official Sony forums. I wish Sony had some place where they noted some kind of schedule/plan for the PS3 firmware. As for me...what I want most is some kind of SMB client accessible from the XMB. Also the ability to play my Itunes ripped ALAC files.

Agreed. but a receiver with 2 hdmi outputs would solve this problem to. thats what im going to do when ones availble
AndrewW Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 but a receiver with 2 hdmi outputs would solve this problem to. thats what im going to do when ones availble Nope that's not the problem we are trying to solve. I have a projector with HDMI and an LCD with component. If I was using the PJ (which I do most of the time) and then a couple of days later I decide I want to hook the PS3 up to the tv in the bedroom then I have to turn the pj on to enable the component output. This is just stupid, and means that I normally don't bother (due to the "don't turn the pj off for at least an hour after turning it on" rule). Why they just can't sense what cable is connected is beyond me Andrew.

HoffY Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 No official place afaik. Closest thing we have is the playstation.com.au forums. I"ll post my little request list here just to spark some more requests and/or perhaps get some feedback that others would like similar features as i. PS3 System Software Feature Request List -Show date and time on XMB and when PS Button Pressed. -Allow custom backgrounds to be selected. Solid Color/Images. -Pause Download Option. -User Password Option On Account Log In (not limited to numbers. Full keyboard entry). -DivX/XviD Playback support. -Sub Folders Support with no file quantity/subfolder limits. -Up scaling of PS2 Games via Component and HDMI outputs. -Auto Detection of connected Display device incase of swapping before settings changed. -Send/Receive/Check Messages at any time, in XMB or game, or part way thru video. -Game Invites -Custom Music playback and changing at any time. -PS3 HDD Network Access via PC -Fix Browser Speed -System Wide Zoom Feature (i.e. works in games if desired) -System Wide Screenshot feature (saving in .PNG or similar lossless format) and the ability to send to friends. -Hour/Usage Log feature. Logs hours console is on. Hours in game. Hours for each game. Hours playing videos. Hours viewing images. Hours playing songs. (format DD:HH:MM). This feature could also Incorporate a link to a new calendar feature (see below) showing what dates and times games were played. -Calendar Feature with reminders and/or ToDo's and Even Alarm's and BDays. etc. -An "Endless Menu's" Option (ability for user to turn on/off the ability to scroll to the top and once more 'around' back to the bottom of a menu - or not). -System Wide Analog Stick Curve Adjustment option. I'm sick to death of being unable to have control i want when publishers fail to make it right. Let me adjust the stick movement to game reaction ratio with curves control! (graphic and 3D artists will know what i mean re curve adjustment, simply a method that allows great control/customization).
AndrewW Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 don't want much do you ? btw, I agree with most of your suggestions (although wouldn't it just be an xbox 360 then ? :ph34r: ) Andrew.
squared_eyes Posted April 7, 2007 Posted April 7, 2007 I got one today!!...It was a gift/payment from a customer, I did a bit of work on the side for him and we decided it was easier for both to be paid in goods. I got a 60Gb and Motorstorm and Fall of man with it. Pretty happy with the deal. I am amazed at how complex the site is to rego your box and join the Network PS3 group!! It has taken forever, I am just downloading GT-HD demo, haven't tried a game yet, had to download vers 1.6 to get this far! Hope this doesn't become a mistake like when I updated my PSP from 1.5 to 1.6 and ruined using homebrew etc...time will tell. So far what little 'playing' I have done I have enjoyed. Having to enter the WEP key without a 'phrase' is a pain in the ass too, but it works.
CustomHT Posted April 8, 2007 Posted April 8, 2007 I read somewhere yesterday that they're supposibly gonna introduce upscaling of dvd's in future firmware.. Lets hope its true..
Mcrackn Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 How about playing back content from a PC, then I'll buy one. EDIT: As in network streaming
brodricj Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 I am just downloading GT-HD demo... I downloaded it too, took about 15 hours, but it was worth the wait! The graphics are awsome!
Hydrology Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 I downloaded it too, took about 15 hours, but it was worth the wait! The graphics are awsome! Jeez, 15 hours!!!! Is that dialup?
HoffY Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 don't want much do you ? btw, I agree with most of your suggestions (although wouldn't it just be an xbox 360 then ? :ph34r: ) Andrew. LOL - No it wouldnt' be. Its got little cool white icons that go really fast across the screen Seroiusly tho. A ford and a holden both have doors. Yet they are clearly different. Point being... Some things just should be standard. Even more so now we are in the "High Definition Generation". I expect even more standard features now then i did before. And they still havnt fullfilled my before features. *cries* (and honestly its really not asking to much of them).
