Firmware Update 3.15 On The Way

Since Firmware Update 3.10, people have been complaining about not being able to sync blu-tooth peripherals such as keypads, headsets and even controllers! I’ve had this problem myself as well, and it’s damn annoying. Luckily, Sony is releasing a new firmware that will fix this problem, as well as add the ability for PSP minis to be played on the PS3.

First Major Modern Warfare 2 Title Update Incoming

Robert Bowling replied to this person on twitter saying:

@IRISnGEN at the moment were on Holiday (Thanksgiving) but playing and tracking feedback for the first major title update.

LittleBigPlanet Update 1.21

Today many new features were released for LittleBigPlanet. I’m just upset that mediamolecule has been releasing all these costume packs and I have been buying them. I don’t want anymore costumes! I want a new DLC pack like Final Fantasy 7 or Uncharted, come on the possibilities are endless!

Online Create – Now you can create with up to three other players online across the internet, across the world!

Networking fixes & location-based matchmaking – We’ve rewritten both the way the game handles networking code and the way it finds people for you to play with when you hit ‘Play Online’. Now, it searches for people who are closer to you and more likely to have a lower ping. This should bring significant improvements to lag and other networking problems.

The POD Computer will first try to match based on location, if this fails it will fall back to matching with any location.

Save game rewrite – We’ve changed the way your saved games work to make it faster, more flexible and more robust. It also means you’ll be able to save way more stuff.

On a PS3, there are two places games store data – the Game Data folder and the Save Data folder. Previously your automatic save would be stored in the Save Data folder. We’ve changed it so that your save is now stored in the Game Data folder.

Profile Backup – The save game backup options can be found in the Profile Settings page of the Start Menu:
Backup Profile – This will create a back-up copy of your profile, progress, and your levels into a folder in the Save Data Utility. It is also handy if you want to copy your profile to another PS3 Import Profile – Lets you import / restore a previous back-up from the Save Data Utility.

Increased profile space – On top of the extra space you get from the save game re-write, we’ve also doubled the number of photos and costumes that you can save to Popit.

PSN has cross game invites

Modern  Warfare 2 has the best party system so far for the Playstation Network and hopefully Sony will make this mandatory for all multiplayer games. I believe Uncharted 2 and Resident Evil 5 also have these features.

Details on party chat:

“The EU Blog’s James Thorpe has revealed that the much fabled cross-game voice chat is pretty much definitely happening, it’s just a matter of when. In a response to the question “when is there going to be cross-game voice chat?” on the recent Blog regarding the firmware update, he replies “I wish I could just give you a date, I really do!””

Firmware Update Today!

The update drops sometime today along with the new friends list update and Facebook integration. Can’t wait!
