Sometimes Oblivion freezes while loading, sometimes I can recover from this freezing by pressing the HOME button once and then return to the game it self again.

		<description><![CDATA[Most of people are still not satisfied, however we can notice the media center capabilities of PS3 is improving.

Now that you support DIVX, why don&#039;t you support a little bit more features ? Such as :
- subtitles capabilities by using SRT file format  (many players and PS3 users are not american, and they like having subtitles in their own language. This would be interesting if you can load a SRT file, or automatically load the SRT file which has the same file name as the DIVX file . Also subtitle font and color adjustments would be great
- now that you support DIVX, why don&#039;t you start support another container? Currently many people is using AVI , but also MKV (Matroska) file format. It would be nice, since many HD contents are available as MKV, including subtitles capabilities (SRT same as DIVX) and multi-language audio tracks
- support for x264 codecs as well, due HD usage

With those new improvements, PS3 would be much more powerfull and a better media center. 

Hope we can see those soon !!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[a message in the corner of the screen. Add some life into the PS3, have a sound notification for messages, online status, invites etc. and you could have theme ones so when you get a trophy via home, have a cheerful sound or when some invites you to a chat, allow them to have a custom or set ringtone to inform them of a chat invite!

8. Upscaling of 720p Games to 1080i
This doesn&#039;t effect me at all but a large community of HDTV owners who have a PLAYSTATION 3. Popular games such as Resistance:Fall of Man, Motorstorm, EyeCreate and Pro Evolution Soccer support one HD resolution which is 720p. Every HD Ready TV on the market does 1080i without fail, however for the unfortunate community, the game will downscale to 480i or 576i and HD Ready TVs will screw the experience of the PLAYSTATION 3 as a range of HDTVs and early HDTV models don&#039;t support 720p resolution leaving many sad.The Xbox 360 scales the game in any HD Resolution and this should be implemented because many people are missing out on a really good HD Experience.

9. Clock available during Home Menu and In Game.
We all need to tell the time and keep an eye on the time. Allowing users to check the time by pressing the PS Button is again a conveinient feature.

10. Background Image for PlayStation / PlayStation 2 owners
If you have an HDTV *like myself* and playing the good old library, you will notice that the screen has borders. Not a fan of borders? Well this feature will do the same job as other images do in other classics available on PSN and XBLA. Choose an image from [Photo] from the HDD or other storage and it will replace the borders or outside the game picture with an image that has been selected, giving it the Super Game Boy or Classic Games Homage feel to it.

Although the PLAYSTATION 3 has excellent features, it lacks many convenient features and still has a crappy PLAYSTATION Store design that needs replacing. I am looking forward to the PLAYSTATION 3 this year and hoping that new features are added to the PS3!

Let me know which features from this list you like the most!!!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[a new update for your game. So if you have Warhawk, your current version is 1.10 and you log onto the PSN, Game Collection will notify the user of a new Update for their game and ask them if they wish to download it.

e.g. &quot;A new update is available for the following Game, &quot;Warhawk v1.20, Go to [Game Collection] then [Download Update] to proceed]&quot;

When the user proceeds with the update, the user has the option to background download the update but cannot play the game in which is being updated by [Game Collection] until the download and installation of the update is completed.

This is a feature in which will make the lifes of PS3 owners less fustrating and better as no one wishes to look at a bar slowly edging its way to completion. Background Downloading should also apply for Firmware Updates too.

4. Multiple Login into the PLAYSTATION NETWORK
I was reading a Warhawk FAQ on the PlayStation Blog and I was gutted to find out I couldnt log in with my brother at the same time but only have him as a guest. We are both looking forward to Warhawk&#039;s release and its annoying that only one user can log in.

XBOX Live allows 4 users on the XBOX 360 to log into the Live Service and allow them to play online in a party together. Its a great way for friends to gather up, kick some ass and have a good time. I would like Sony to allow multiple usernames which have PSN access on the same PS3 to be allowed to log in at the same time, with Controller 1 as the primary XMB background but allowing them to press a button on the controller to read their messages, invites etc.

This again would be an awesome feature and a great way for groups of people using the same PLAYSTATION 3 to go online and work together in a team to prove themselves, please consider this feature.

5. Extra Friends List Allocation
With the rising sales of the PS3 in recent times, the install base is getting bigger and if Sony are serious about the ten year lifespan of the PLAYSTATION 3, then they need to increase the limit of friends of a member&#039;s friend list. Home is also coming and it is really going to bring the PS3 community together so allow more friends on the PSN!

6. Power Saving Features
The PS3 uses a lot of electricity and thats no lie! It is also capable of making the electricity bill quite expensive for the bill payer. Whilst the PLAYSTATION 3 has power saving features in forms of screensavers and the timers in Folding@Home, it needs the following power saving features to increase system life and for convenience as well.

[*]Power off after Background Downloading has completed
[*]Power off Controllers after inactive use
[*]Power Off after inactive use in Home Menu
[*]On Low Power, download Firmware Updates and Background Downloads

XBOX Live has the same noice for everything when you recieve a message, get Achievements, Friend Online, Chat Invite, Game Invite etc.

7. Sound Notifications
With the PS3 its kinda boring, you have a friends icon with]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Come the 8th of January, it will mark an anniversary for me in which I got my Japanese PS3 from eBay and looking back at last year, the PS3 has changed dramatically. When I got my PS3, it was on firmware 1.32 and I recall how medicore the PS3s features were but I was viewing the PS3 in SDTV for three months before I got the HDTV upgrade. Since a year, we have seen remarkable and excellent firmware updates for the PLAYSTATION 3 including Upscaling for DVD Video, PSone and PS2 games, Custom Themes, DivX support, Blu Ray Profile 1.1, Background Downloading, Remote Play Information Board and many more which have managed to justify in some people&#039;s opinions the cost of the PS3.

However when this console was released back in November 2006, early adaptors could tell the firmware had been rushed as it lacked many features in which the Xbox 360 has and even today with the fancy upgrades, it still feels incomplete and inferior to the rival consoles. In this article, I shall name ten features which Sony should include in future firmwares to make it more convenient and accessable.

1. In Game XrossMediaBar (XMB)
A feature in which fans across the globe have been demanding. The Xbox 360&#039;s Dashboard can be accessed in game unlike the PS3&#039;s XMB which leaves the player with a tiny menu of options. The addition of this feature will not only make the PLAYSTATION 3 look badass but will be a complete convenience for its users as the player cannot read or send messages during gameplay, neither can it use VOIP or use custom soundtracks in any game like the Xbox 360. Although Eric Lempel has said they are working on this feature, the question is to all PS3 owners is.....when will it arrive??

2. PLAYSTATION Store Redesign
When I got my PS3 back in January 2007, I was using a SDTV and when I accessed the PS Store it looked like complete ass. SDTV version of the PS Store allows you to view 3 items at once whilst the HDTV version allows you to view 10 on the screen.

I came across this page on a website and forum. It is a PlayStation fan&#039;s design of the PLAYSTATION Store and I got to say, it would be a nice and fresh revamp for the PSN. I suggest you check out the design as it adds convenient features such as search and its own homage to the XMB with its own icons and menus.

3. Game Collection - background downloads Game Updates
If you have Motorstorm, Resistance or Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, you would have noticed that updating the game enhances the experience but it comes at a price! Unfortunetly, you have to play the waiting game! Which no one likes! So to make life and PS3 awesome and free from annoying waiting times, heres the idea in form of &quot;Game Collection&quot;

[Game Collection] is accessible in the Home Menu under [Game] and when you play a PLAYSTATION 3 Game, it stores the game in your &quot;Game Collection&quot;. This feature will make use of the online features and will detect automatically if there is]]></description>

Date and time yes please, what&#039;s up with that?

And yes about watching Blu ray and dvds yes... why is the network shut down when we watch a movie? and when I push the PS home button why I can&#039;t access the XMB? it&#039;s like playing a game when watching the movies just without being able the receive message that make it worst. About in game XMB... well... I will not start with that, they know that already...

		<description><![CDATA[First, I would like to express my thanks for the recent update. I am glad to see that issues are being addressed. I have included my suggestions for the future firmware updates below, and hopefully they will be taken into consideration. These items in my opinion MUST be added at some point to maximize enjoyment potential…please and thank-you!
If I have duplicated items suggested already I apologize, however; this would clearly indicate their importance to others as well.

Thanks!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Region free - Allow for all standards in games / movies (Ex. NTSC and PAL support.)

-In game XMB allowing full access to any item it contains.

-Internet browser updates are seriously needed. Functionality is weak.

-I don’t want to have to download on the internet ever. The ability to display content on a website (Flash for example) should be a given, and up to date.

-When typing, a least allow for standard key short cuts. (ctrl a, ctrl z, ctrl x, ctrl v etc.)

-Add a print screen / save option.

-Increase options for sorting. It’s annoying when I cannot separate messages, games, demos, music etc.

-Allow for creation of new folders.

-The ability to adjust XMB and all contained contents via drag and drop.

-Direct HDD access.

-XMB volume control.

-Separate auto-play setting on DVDs / games.

-Video up scaling. 

-Option to adjust opacity on XMB and contents.

-Add way more content to the store, there’s just not enough choices.

-Allow support for all container formats. Why have any limits?

-Add the ability to run multiple things simultaneously. (Ex. Play a movie, without closing currently running applications.)

-Add a timer for PS3. Setting the system to shut down after performing a task would be wonderful. No more waiting.

-Add date and time on PS button.

-Powered stand by USB ports.

-Individual icon manipulation. (Ex. Use own image.)

-Make iPod connectivity more efficient. Currently navigating files is difficult.


I am quite sure there is much more to include but this is all I can think of at the moment.
To me these items are very important so I will leave my faith with SONY. I am sure they won’t disappoint. 

Have a good day  / night all!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First, thanks for this &quot;DIVX&quot; update.

Also to please have a look to my top #3 requests :

#1: The PS3 is a multimedia machine... Video, Audio, Photo, Game...  I&#039;m wondering why we are not yet able to control the PS3 through an Universal Remote Control with a conventional IR Sensor. PS3 is still out of my Home Theater Setup since I cannot power On, power Off, Play, Stop, Seek in movies, photos... An universal remote control such as the Pronto&#039;s should be able to remote the PS3.

#2: Add an Auto Power Off feature in the download section: As soon as Downloads are finished please Power Off the machine !

#3: Add an Auto Power Off feature as soon all the PAD are fully refilled. This option should be present is the &quot;PS Button&quot; menu that enable us to Power On/Off the system...

I have many other requests but here is my top #3.

Regards
FRED]]></description>
