I spoke to a Sony rep today and he told me that 2.70 is coming in the next few week, i hope it has all the rumoured stuff with it!

I prefer ‘The Artist formerly known as XrossMediaBar’.

if we get a new XMB do we call it the “NEW PLAYSTATION EXPERIENCE!!!” ?
or the NPSE?

Yup, I thought that title for the new XBox menu layout was silly.

Hi! Welcome
I’m hoping they won’t be just bug fixes. There was a list, but I thought that was total speculation…

first TSA comment for me, just signed up WOOOO!

Glad to hear that it’s not just me who is seeing the wonderful list of 2.7 features (although it may only be a rumor) slipping away to replaced by yet more stupid bug fixes!

You can talk to people on the other team in proximity as well. Or maybe that was just because they were on my friend’s list…

All of this talk of an update with new features get’s me so excited!

Or it means it’s caused loads of speculation and people asking on the Sony forums what will be in the update that comes out this month, so they’ve had to remove the posts?

i’m a little confused.. (usual state i know.. BUT!)

How come Sony needs to release an update to fix Battle cars?. Is it because the devs are too lazy to patch it and fix the network errors that happen so often. the stuttering every other match is annoying but the pop up network problem screen that blocks the view is even worse!

They seem to ignore or mock people who have paid for it and expect it to work in their own forums.

Come on Psyonix Warhawk can handle 32 players and personally I have never experienced lag! a game that has jeeps planes (sorry warhawks) tanks!, people… jet packs… pick ups. and S.R.A.B.C has 8 cars, a ball and 2 goals. I brought this expecting it to be supersonic online as well as off!! (1 on 1 seems ok! Griffster and i have had some awesome matches!)

rant over.. need to load up COD4 and kill my friends (sorry in advance).. calms the nerves.

I’m glad we didn’t have TSA points during the golf tournament then because he was last.. we’d all have been below 0 after Michael had taken his TSA points revenge. (making me shiver.)

Which means someone high up has revealed something they shouldn’t have.

I heard they had this thing called a “clock”. You should check it out.

Which means it’s not a rumor anymore……

That’s a great idea. Send it to Sony HQ!

I seriously wonder how cross game chat will work.

Most games have specific cool features tailor made for the game. Like MGO. When you throw chaff grenade near people who use the mic, they will be unable to talk to their team. A great idea, but hardly used I guess.

And in Killzone, hearing your team mates as a proximity thing. Where does that come into it?

Well it doesn’t matter when I’m just in the XMB but when I’m in-game and want to check the time, I have to press the PS button which pops the bloody indicator up and in the way of the time.

It’s lazy, it wouldn’t take anything to move it but having it obscure another part of the layout is just incredibly lazy or immature design and sticking to it rather than fixing it is embarrassing.
In the big scheme it won’t cure cancer or solve the middle-eastern conflict but in terms of an electronics company who are trading on their ability to project an image it is absolutely unforgivable.
