Does it still play games, or did Sony forget that in their rush to add all the other stuff?

You guys missed one more thing which i think is something which we haven ot seen before on any console out there.

“The new update also introduces Trend Micro web security for the console, allowing parents to block the viewing of inappropriate sites from the PlayStation Internet Browser.”

Just FYI.

just once it would be nice if it didn’t deteriorate into which console is the best.

If anyone is using tversity to stream to the ps3 don’t install this update until after the weekend as it will no longer work but a fix is being released.

Still too expensive for a ‘media centre’ gaming console that doesnt play divx.

That and the really pathetic lineup of games so far. I know the PS2 had a slow launch as far as good titles but here it is a year later and there’s probably maybe two exclusive titles that i would be interested in.

I hate to say it but sony, you’re getting teabagged by nintendo.

@4 is that why PS2 is still selling more consoles per month than any other system out now?

@17, Question 2
Yes it will, however you will not be able to play india region PS1 or PS2 games. PS1 and PS2 games still have region coding, only PS3 games dont have region coding.

@16, Lol, there is heaps of games on PS3 that ain’t on X360, Folksoul is a nice game which isn’t on x360.

Playstation has always been a slow mover when it comes to starting up, but sooner or later they will have nice games as seen on PS3. there is a few nice upcoming games like MGS, God of War 3, Final Fantasy, and so on.

Lol, so what exactly do you consider a console? you saying PS3 isn’t a console, but saying Xbox 360 is one?

Anyone know if Remote play will worked with a cracked PSP?

I’d imagine there will be custom firmware out by now that would make it possible but atm my PSP is on some old 3.10 custom firmware or something

yeah, i like sony. theyre really trying hard to turn around. they need to improve the tv advertisements though…

i got a ps3 and i only got 2 games – both are launch titles.
i am still hoping someone will rls a linux mce for ps3 that works with the sixaxis controller, the XMB does not like divx/xvid unfortunatelly.
