Hey Jeff, I dont know if you could take a look into this for me and fellow PS3 fans, but it looks like some of us are having problems with the PS3 Official Headset. Once the headset it registered when talking into the headset on the XMB Accessory Menu its picking up our voices as low. When turing up the sound input to 5 it doesnt effect the headset in anyway. This causing a problem for most of us in MotorStorm: PR where we have to basicly yell into the headset for the game to recognize we are speaking, and also in the Endwar Demo.
Here is a link too the forums with other people experiencing the same problem (http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id=motorstorm&thread.id=68819)
If you could Jeff just reply, so I know you heard our problem and you will look into it for the community.
Thanks
SpookyJuice
btw, keep up the good PlayStation coverage I love it!

Sony, there is a MAJOR issue with firmware 2.50. Since i updated it, my controllers lose connection. In other words, say i’m playing uncharted, my controllers suddenly get disconected from my PS3. And they don’t get reconnected unless i reset the PS3. Even plugging the controllers via usb cable does not work.
i have come across numerous people who have had this problem, mainly on the official playstation europe forums. Here is a video from youtube showing exactly the problem we are all having (we all have the 60GB launch model): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvEJkRblwIs
So what’s wrong? What have you done to us? Why don’t you even admit you screwed us over? What are you waiting to fix it? it’s been over 2 weeks since 2.50 has been released.

Jeff, Great week for the PS3. I’m suffering from game overload. LBP, Fallout 3, SOCOM, & R2 next week. Sweet.
Question for you? The PS3 plays AAC files fine, but it does not read the tag info. Most people’s AAC files are from ripped CD’s using iTunes. Is there a way you guys can fix this. Or a way to convert the id tags on my iTunes AAC files so the PS3 can read them. A lot of my friends have the same problem. Thanks.

I still don’t like how the videos auto-pause, and i still don’t like how the battery meter comes up over the time when i want to see the time. I have to wait for the battery meter to go away to see the time? Thats stupid.

The stupid battery meter still overlaps the clock in the top-right in 1080i (which, before anyone says it, is a REAL HDTV mode and a much higher resolution than 720p).

SOCOM 1.20 didn’t do much, it fixed the scopes but it’s still laggy, stutters a lot, I still can’t easily join a game with a friend or join a game they are in, and many other features still missing. Sony get on their asses to fix this broken freakin game.
On the plus side I played LittleBigPlanet with my gf today for a bit and it was a lot of fun

That “Welcome Home” article from Kotaku is pretty sad- a lot of backhanded compliments and “eh” editorial comments.
On a more relevant note: LittleBigPlanet rocks. :D Now if we could just get some lag-control it’d be perfect. (Well, I do have some notes in terms of the editing mode, but I don’t suppose there’s a lot that can be done about them now.)
It is kind of a slap in the face that LBP2 is already in the works. Come release time (maybe a year or so away? ), I can’t help but think that LBP (1) will have a significant drop in attention, which kind of kills a game that is so community-oriented. Again, not much I can do about that, is there?
Anyway, Resistance 2 is up next! :D I’m gonna bag me a 20-story chimera head as a trophy. :D

Why can’t I use the KILLZONE: Command Centre website with the PS3 browser? It is a PS3 exclusive yet the newly upgraded flash doesn’t work. So much for PS3 / games integration and compatibility with the PS3′s browser! Fix the browser SONY…no really…FIX IT!!!
Also, when logging in to this blog, I must disable javascript? Or else the PS3 browser freezes…more compatibility issues.
Please sort yourselves out SONY, this is pathetic!

I am sure Mm know what they are doing with LBP2. Like community support for LBP1 players similar to Rock Band 1/2 cross compatibility…smart devs do not ditch previous customers like Mm…only people at another music game producing company *cough* activision *cough*

SOCOM is still a glitchy, laggy, annoying nightmare. Don’t waste your money unless you’re a hardcore fan of the series and can force yourself to overlook the countless issues. As a member of the SONY community, I’m actually stunned that a product of this nature could have even been released.
The headset is cool though.

@5 Schwaa:
Stay far away from Socom. It looks like it’s going to take a long time to fix this game. This game should have been delayed. The headset that comes with Socom is nice. I didn’t buy Socom for the headset though. Slant Six turned a great game into garbage. Slant Six please stop making games let Zipper Interactive make Socom games.

They should feel robbed (I certainly do). It’s a true embarrassment that Sony would allow a game like this to get released in the state it’s in.
