i still think tht this is a useless update cause it doesnt add any new useful significant features but it just adds more appeal…

WhittO | August 31st, 2009 at 6:06 pm
woot!
It would be great too if you could give us ANY info on the status on cross-game chat, might aswell since you know there will be like 400 comments asking for it haha.
Anyway, looking forward to new Avatars (im soo sick of the ones we have) and animated themes will be great.

EvoAnubis | August 31st, 2009 at 6:10 pm
MY only question I have at this point is, will there be any free animated themes that we can use to try this thing out? And I don’t mean that stupid “Mustache Man” theme.
30
Lambrick | August 31st, 2009 at 6:10 pm
wait, an early release too?
31
NITROWOLF_2 | August 31st, 2009 at 6:10 pm
Wow i cannot wait for the animated themes.
questions.
1. Will us user be able to create animated themes like we could with standard themes?
2. any possibilities that you giuys snuck in something extra like you have in other FW updates?
32

It feels like Sony is playing the console market on godmode – absolutely unstoppable.
The Slim is sold out all over the place
Graphically the PS3 is an entire generation ahead
Games the PS3’s exclusives are gigantic in number and unparalled in quality
Price is now not an issue – even Fing poor people can afford a PS3 now
Blu-Ray continues to overtake DVD faster than DVD did VHS
And Home is up to what? 8 million users already and massive support from publishers and developers
Thank you Sony! Can’t wait for the update to go live.

AntDaGamer | August 31st, 2009 at 6:11 pm
Well I still think the XMB could be a little better even if its 2D. I ‘ve seen some themes that was better. I like this update but I still think it could of been better.
39
DARK_JAK_911 | August 31st, 2009 at 6:12 pm
Will we be getting the LBP animated theme for free in this update? I ask because when custom themes were first shown, Air Paint was the one you demonstrated. Since you demonstrated animated themes with the LBP animated theme, wouldn’t it seem right for us to get that? :)

EvoAnubis | August 31st, 2009 at 6:12 pm
“1. Will us user be able to create animated themes like we could with standard themes?”
No. The dynamic themes are created via the SDK, so unless you happen to be a game developer, you don’t have the required tools.

GamerMoney | August 31st, 2009 at 6:12 pm
dynamic themes…woooh

Ny_beast 24 Sony can’t do cross game chat until they find a way to get around the M$ patent for it.
