NeoGAF is exploding with photoshops of joy at this one paragraph tease, Jeff.. ;-)

I can’t wait for the video. I hope that it is 2.40. Once 2.40 comes out the PS3 will be awesome.

mordeeb  |  June 29th, 2008 at 5:51 pm

i think we know how to use the xmb why can’t you guys just give the fans what they want and give us the update do you have any idea how to make people happy?

gardea  |  June 29th, 2008 at 5:59 pm

2.40 Video? Cool, I’ll be here.

gardea  |  June 29th, 2008 at 6:01 pm

Why can’t we edit our comment posts?

Jeff, I was going to ask you something about the PlayStation Blog birthday thing.

I was #25 in the top posters for the blog and I received an e-mail asking for my preferred shirt size and street address. The e-mail came from playstation.blog@gmail.com — is this a legit e-mail address? I want my shirt :)

Jeff Rubenstein replied on June 29, 2008 at 8:06 pm

it’s legit.

twooh  |  June 29th, 2008 at 6:02 pm

@152

I feel the same way.

I hate how sony drags and makes us wait. Even with PSN store updates. Every Thursday. How lazy of them. That’s why the PS3 is the better console in Japan, SCEJ knows how to take care of fans. They give it as soon as it’s available.

Sorry to have to dog you out sony, but if the truth hurts.

jimmyn28  |  June 29th, 2008 at 6:17 pm

Sucks that it’s just a video walkthrough and not the actual firmware update. I mean, it’s still awesome that we get to see it, but it’s more of a tease than anything.

Blackmoses11  |  June 29th, 2008 at 6:28 pm

Personally I have only one request after the famous in gamb XMB…
A playlist for our video content! I mean it would seem logical to do so. I use my PS3 for get togethers mainly, I can play my music and have cool animations going on in the background. But with the inclusion of the DIVX capabilities I have tons of HD Music Videos that I would love to play back one after another. What do you guys think?

AndyFraser  |  June 29th, 2008 at 6:34 pm

If we get a video tonight.. then why not release the firmware too?

Why make us wait.. come on Sony

evilman279  |  June 29th, 2008 at 6:49 pm

i hope they release the firmware on tuesday, that would be so awesome, wow =D.

nando92  |  June 29th, 2008 at 6:52 pm

oooooo Can’t wait!!! I’ll definately be here at 3 a.m. :)
(I live in new jersey) LOL

Patriotsbball5460  |  June 29th, 2008 at 6:52 pm

I think all of you need to stop whining like little kids, they will get the firmware out when it is ready for public use, you no its coming and just be pleased that they did listen to the fans and spent the time to make in-game xmb for the ps3, now just calm down watch the videos when they are released and then wait for more info from the blog.

evilman279  |  June 29th, 2008 at 6:53 pm

omg this is wow

Im 15 and my only computer is in my parents room and I can’t be there in 3 a.m. (I DONT want to see what there up to at 3) lol

enewtabie  |  June 29th, 2008 at 6:56 pm

Hey Jeff
If you could pass along to the guys.Apple/Ipod connectivity would be much appreciated.I would like to be able to plug in my ipod and have it detect it and put it into the proper folder.It just doesn’t do anything effectively now.Thanks

Thanks for the videos too.

Dubbedinenglish  |  June 29th, 2008 at 6:56 pm

We know what 2.4 will bring…But what about the rumors of 2.5 including skynet?

thingg  |  June 29th, 2008 at 6:58 pm

@154
yes it’s legit. I got the same one. They use gmail because of its awesome spam filters B)

evilman279  |  June 29th, 2008 at 7:10 pm

@ 163 can you play songs from your ipod on the ps3?. i plug my ipod and it doesnt play the songs frmo my ipod =(

P_tear_griffin  |  June 29th, 2008 at 7:10 pm

Nice updates. Was reading the IGN article on the PSP. Is it just me or is everything from their playstation team always a complaint?

BTW, my PSP-fat just went to the electronic heaven, after a tumble down the stairs. Guess it’s time to get a slim!

PSP-fat R.I.P.(2005-2008)

aiphanes  |  June 29th, 2008 at 7:14 pm

evilman279  |  June 29th, 2008 at 7:16 pm

Patriotsbball5460  |  June 29th, 2008 at 7:18 pm

evilman279  |  June 29th, 2008 at 7:21 pm

Delriach  |  June 29th, 2008 at 7:24 pm

evilman279  |  June 29th, 2008 at 7:25 pm

Linux_Guru_  |  June 29th, 2008 at 7:43 pm

I wait for this with baited breath.

LOL@ all the people who want to add Jeff to their PSN Friends just so they can ask him about firmware updates

kill_strike  |  June 29th, 2008 at 7:46 pm

Thanks Jeff I can’t wait for midnight YAY

SpLinT  |  June 29th, 2008 at 7:52 pm

Jeff, are those gamercard/profile pictures real or fake?

LSMJGO  |  June 29th, 2008 at 7:57 pm

@ 166 you can play songs from your ipod on ur ps3 go to music settings and change the audio import to mp3

GuySpook  |  June 29th, 2008 at 7:58 pm

Jeff, not to be ungrateful, but will the videos give us a timeframe for when firmware 2.4 will be released?

McKey1991  |  June 29th, 2008 at 8:00 pm

Hey Jeff, I was wondering if 2.40 or any other FW will update the Playstation browser’s Flash player.

Pharmboy044  |  June 29th, 2008 at 8:00 pm

Hey Jeff, I’m new here but I just wanted to thank you and everyone at Sony who is responsible for this blog. This was a great idea for the Playstation community all over the world. I come here everyday for anything relating to the Playstation brand. Keep up the great work and keep those firmware updates coming.

P.S.
Firmware 2.4 FTW.

AndyFraser  |  June 29th, 2008 at 8:01 pm

4 hours to go

nando92  |  June 29th, 2008 at 8:02 pm

skynet is obviously a lie to show the ps3’s power
skynet is a computer A.I. that does everything for a country (ex. Decides on war, economics, and money)
nothing a ps3 would have any use for (plus I don’t think its possible YET!!)
unless Sony has the same name for a different purpose

thatsmartguywiththefro  |  June 29th, 2008 at 8:03 pm

@AndyFraser
Why the hell would you STAY UP until 8am?!?!? Why not just wake up then? sorry but when I read that it just seemed sort of strange….

@Jeff/Sony
In the upcoming firmware updates could we get an edit multiple and ipod support? I haven’t added much music to my hardrive because it’s so tedious to re add all the album info that’s lost in the transfer. thanks in advance.

And when you say just shy of midnight, what exactly is that supposed to mean? 3 minutes till, a half hour? I guess I’ll just have to see.

A. K. C.

Kenaue  |  June 29th, 2008 at 8:14 pm

Holy crap. I almost forgot about Infamous until the Game Informer magazine came in…Now I can’t wait for it. Is it for 08 or 09? If it’s 08, Project Origin is going to have some competition.

nando92  |  June 29th, 2008 at 8:14 pm

@ andyFraser

forzanerazzurri  |  June 29th, 2008 at 8:21 pm

Thanks so much Jeff for all you do. You do really do a great job here and alot of us appreciate you despite our frustrations taking over sometimes.

I do have a question for you regarding the video store that is due to be released. Will the store be available in Canada at the time it is released in the US? We have heard lots about the US and sometimes North America is used but not Canada specifically. Any info would be great thanks.

Kenaue  |  June 29th, 2008 at 8:22 pm

Sweet. Project Origin won’t have to fight Infamous to the death to get my money.
