We really need to get that in-game XMB and Home thing going here…. XBox is doing so well right now because the software on the XBox is actually way better (music in-game, etc)… The PS3 has an extremely large amount of hardware power that the current firmware is not taking advantage of. If the PS3 is to truely beat the dreaded Xbox 360, we need to get those things working ASAP

Firmware Update (v2.17) problems:
Sony BD Remote Control losses connectivity so you have to use a Wireless Controller button to continue.

whenever I try to update an individual game for my PS3 like Rock Band it will give you that message when you first start up but when I try to download it it just drops my internet and I can never download it. Any solutions?

One thing I’d really like to see, apart from in-game XMB or Home, is the option to turn off controllers, after being idle for a certain amount of time. It’s annoying having to press the PS button, and manually switch the controller off every night after logging into Folding@Home. It shouldn’t be too hard to implement, surely.

I updated my firmware to 2.17 and it totally ruined my PS3 wireless controllers not working, cannot connect to the internet wired or wireless, games freezing. It sucks called Customer Service 10X this weekend and all i got was to pay up 150 dollars. My PS3 was working perfectly before this update and I am really disappointed. I’ve been buying Sony product my laptop, my tv my camera all Sony. I’ve been a loyal Playstation fan until now. I’ve always equated Sony to high quality electronics now I am not so sure. How can something that’s working all of a sudden not work because of a FW update. Sony you have to do something about this really soon.
