Firmware v2.01 Coming Soon

364 0

Hey everyone. We know you like to hear about updates a few days in advance, so here’s a quick heads up that we have a new System Software update in the works.

Firmware v2.01 is a minor update that will improve the stability of PLAYSTATION 3.

We’ll provide more specifics as the update is about to go live, but we thought we’d give loyal blog readers advance notice!

  • I hope this fixes the random freezing/lockups I get when using my PS3. I’ve only had mine for a little over a week and its been locking up randomly such as viewing information on a demo I downloaded or just even trying to load a game to play! I’m noticing too it sometimes knocks my other wireless PC offline when my PS3 signs in to the playstation store, argh

  • you not Add now?

    I want play R&C+COD4+AC -_-

  • @ 241
    Because, we paid $650.00 to get it right away. So why should we have to wait?
    Not to mention, we still have to spend another $120.00 to get 2 new sixaxis dual shock 3 controllers. Do you think this is right we have to wait?
    We went to the store and paid our money so we should get what we paid for out the box.
    Its only right!

  • @242
    Is there anyway that I could stream movies and other files from my Mac?
    If not then i’m screwed. I’m only a Mac user.

  • Ok seriously….how do u pick the demos for the european store . im so bored of playing demos months after their release in the american sore!….please make a region free sor it would be sooooo much easier 4 evryone and it wud sort the problem of fake accounts!…also wen i hear of my friends playing their 360’s with music playing in the backround i try 2 grin and bare it but really i wud love that feature on my ps3…which brings me 2 my next topic…”In Game XMB”..everyone wants so what gives?..please help me with these problems…thnx guys! if ne1 has any info on either of these topics please E- Mail me @: jameskevinpower@hotmail.com .

  • I hope this will fix the problem when you change video settings and your theme or wallpaper etc goes to default.

    Suggestion:
    Info bar tells you when you have unread messages and next to the Message Box icon, it will have say ‘1’ or ‘2’ next to it so you dont have to click it, then click recieved to find out if youn have some messages you need to read.

  • The upscaling of Ps2 games is now broken since update 2.00!!!

    It looked waaay better the day before the update, and now it is not sized right and all pixely…

    please help us! or let us roll back the update!

  • IT FIXES THE CRAP LAG FROM THAT POS TICKER, THE VIDEO PLAYBACK BUTTON THAT TAKES 30 SECONDS TO LOAD AND THAT POS REMOTE START THAT CRASHES PSPs. I DOUBT SONY WOULD ADD DIVX SUPPORT THIS SOON, BUT I SURE AS HELL DOUBT IT WOULD SUPPORT ALL DIVX MOVIES. SCREW U SONY. TEST UR FING FIRMWARE BEFORE U RELEASE IT SO I DONT GET SO PISSED.

    GET RID OF PLAYLISTS, MAKE IT A GROUPING LIKE THE GAMES ARE NOW.

  • http://orange.quickshareit.com/share/picture434776.png

    I want playing this game now
    but I Can’t

    Quickly please Release this update -_-

  • We need some better playlisting features (among other music player features) for the PSP.

  • I don’t see the logic in waiting until tuesday for the “scheduled” time if what the release contains is essential to actually USE THE SYSTEM!!

    Please! Our PS3’s are messed up!

    I can’t play Assassin’s Creed or Warhawk!!

  • we need fix on the timed out (we can use the web browser yet the PSN fails in the test) and when it does it cant stay connected for more than 20 minutes

  • i beleive he said minor, so its nothing big
    so chill!

  • Don’t think its PS3’s fault that Assassin’s Creed it bugged tho??? Xbox360 version is bugged to i read??? Other games work ok. Sounds rushed out to me. Not sure really.

  • I hate to say it but even a patch that fixes things is a good one IMHO. But for real guys your InGameXMB is comeing it’s has been confermed for many days now just shut up and wait like the rest of us.

    For those with other ideas for updates you got some good ones there! I would like the fallowing added as system features:

    More Features for the PS3:

    Give us the fallowing:

    Take screenshot of XMB: This when pressed would take a snap shot of the XMB so we can post our custom themes without haveing to fumble with lighting on the screen for over three hours just to take one shot of the custom theme we made.

    System Password lock out:

    This would let the owner of the system lock out anybody who is not the primary user from useing the PS3. This is a must have for those of us who have brothers, or sisters who just don’t get how complex this thing is and wan’t to mess it all up and screw around with the language settings, or mess up saved games or content we DLed from PSN.

    Black theme color:

    For the love of god give us back the black theme color! I loved it as it was easy to read everything on the menu and it was vary easy on my eyes at night.

    Remote play features:

    PSP over PS3 online play:

    Ok this is one thing alot of people ask about who don’t have a wierless router. They always ask if they can use the PS3 to connect to the internet and play the PSP online, or surf the web.

    So this would be a perfict way to get both machines to work togather even more than they do now. Say I don’t have a router, fine I just connect o the PS3 and I can play useing the PS3s online connection without haveing to buy or set up a wireless rounter that would set me back over $200.00 big ones.

    Other requests:

    PSN make over:

    Please ditch the blue PSN look. It just dose not fit with the PS3! It would be much better if it had the same look this site has right now. Black sheek baby!

  • Home? when is the exact date for Home

  • wen is this update coming like the exact date? Will Home be included?

  • I have a nice idea for the firmware updates…

    Is there any chance we could get these in like, a patch instead a complete firmware reinstall??

    I don´t know if it is possible taking in mind how the PS2 is internally but it will be faster (Having to download the WHOLE firmware everytime a minor release gets online is not very nice. For us, and also for you guys) and safer (The patch could overwrite the files as needed instead of the complete thing).

    Not sure if it is possible but it will be better. And it would be the first step into upgradeable browser, codecs, and stuff.

    Thanks for reading ;)

  • Polygamia » Blog Archive » 2.01 niedługo

    […] PlayStation.blog informuje, że całkien niedługo możemy spodziewać się kolejnej aktualizacji dla PLAYSTATION 3, tym razem opatrzonej numerkiem 2.01. Niestety nie można raczej liczyć na XMB w grach, własne ścieżki dźwiękowe, aktualizację Blu-raya do 1.1 czy w końcu obsługę DivXa. To będzie dość mała paczuszka poprawiająca głównie stabilność systemu. Dochodziły do nas głosy, że 2.0 lubiło psuć niektóre konsole. Zapewne ta łatka będzie to poprawiać. Szczegóły mają się pokazać na dniach. […]

  • So this might explain why I can’t play Uncharted for five minutes without it locking up.

    Fix it ASAP. This is unacceptable. I just love not being able to play games I happily purchased.

  • Yeah I have another idea…

    What are the chances to get the PS3 like a region-free DVD/BlueRay player?

    I mean, that thing only plays region 1 DVDs and you are leaving a lot of people outside that window.

    ((For example I can only play region 1 & 4 DVDs which are not very common here))

  • @JustEaton

    my prayer is answered, thank you for your info!!!

    thats the last time i do when it all begin, now i can play my ps3 again, eventhough still freeze sometime..

    thank you

    PLEASE SONY… MAKE A BETTER WORLD !!!

  • Well at least they’re coming out with a fix to the various problems people are experiencing with things like remote start, freezing and streaming. Better that they do this than not at all. I’m not expecting anything more than this since this is only a minor update.

    Interested to see what they put in the store this Tuesday. Pain perhaps? or High Velocity Bowling? or both? May as well put a bit of content in the store since it’s the holidays and there won’t be another store update till the following Thursday.

    I Wish they’d update the store twice a week instead of just once a week. The Japanese and South-East Asia stores get updated regularly, no specific day. The US and EU stores should follow suit in my opinion.

  • @ #276 dzpntll
    Take it easy man. You don’t have to spam the blog with “IN-GAME XMB!” like 350 times for them to know that. sheesh, you people have no brains at all.
    @mods
    I’d appreciate it if you guys would delete comment 276

  • I do have to give you credit for taking the time to check your spelling before you spam. (anyone who monitered the FW 2.00 update discussion with the 1,050-line comment will know what I’m talking about.)

  • Sony,

    I know many want the “In-game XBM” feature and some other stuff, but i would really like to see some improvement on the PS2 compatibility since i bought the PS3 system (80GB system) to be able to play both PS2 & PS3 titles

    Tks!!!

  • Please, add charts encoding ISO-8859-2 and Unicode UTF-8 – you have many clients in middle Europe, but they cannot read web pages corectly with PS3 internet browser. PLEASE!!!!

  • are u guys gonna allow music to be played off of a ipod or the hardrive ever during a game?

  • that would be real tight if u guys did

  • I Hope sooner or later i could get on Myspace.com and be able to message and watch videos on my profile or other profiles and lisen to music from Myspace

    This week you guys should put alot of stuff on the PLAYSTATION and PLAYSTATION STORE for the holidays like HOME that would be sick im bored allready with what they have now on here

  • man, my ps3 has been really slow about accessing menu options like system settings, etc. and at starting games since i upgraded to v2.0

  • @CitizenInsane27

    LOL…let me give you a little advice as i have numerous times before……..build a bridge and get the f*** over it!!!…do you honestly think cuz you reply to me and cry over what i say that i’ll by some act of god might and i stress might change what i say??

    too bad!

  • @Not0riouS76

    You might want to check #5 View your active downloads, pause, and resume them. that feature has been in there for a while now lol

    And people stop spamming with what features you want in the next firmware update.

  • this better fix the Assassin’s Creed glitches. don’t know if firmware updates affect software, though.

  • There seems to be an awful lot of people having problems with Assassins Creed, freezing and frame rate issues, well this may help to fix it , all you have to do is disable the information board, press triangle on it and disable it and these problems should go away. Also do not sign into the psn network

    This has worked for me (for now)

  • I’ve read a post over at PS3forums from someone that works in Tech Support (above the Ubisoft guys) and has talked to them saying the Firmware isn’t the issue as they’ve had people call who haven’t updated to the latest firmware. It seems to be all on the game itself so it’s up to Ubisoft to patch the game (he said both versions have issues so it’s in the game’s coding).

  • IN-GAME XMB

  • aahh another thing……..you should encourage your game developers to release complete games, you know..like 1996.
    i bought an console, just put in a game and play a game….why the F**k i have to wait for a patch?
    why the hell should i patch a game, do i own a PC? “oohh sorry, we konami, didnt know you still own a SDTV. PES2oo8 framerate issues wasn’t a problem with our HDtv s”

  • Divx is oldschool! The newest container MKV is the best!!!!!
    MKV is the best!!!!!
    MKV is the best!!!!!
    MKV is the best!!!!!
    MKV is the best!!!!!
    MKV is the best!!!!!
    MKV is the best!!!!!
    MKV is the best!!!!!
    MKV is the best!!!!!

  • PS3 Firmware 2.01 Coming Soon : DigitalBattle

    […] Creed and Kane & Lynch have been reported to freeze a few times every hour. Sony says the new update will “go live soon”, and that specific details will be released later. […]

  • 1) Sony is aware we want in-game XMB (specifically to play custom soundtracks, and obviously to receive and respond to messages)
    2)Sony will not change the XMB or get rid of it all together. They have recreated it in other hardware (PSPs, TVs, Media Servers, Cameras soon) that they want a universal menu screen.
    3)@Tiger007, i know how to de-mux mkv videos and copy them into a recognizable format. (takes about 30 min (depending on length/quality)
    4) AC glitches (as other have mentioned) are “fixed” by disabling the (weeks old RSS feeder) and abstaining from signing in to PSN (or the disabling of messages pertaining to the PSN). This should “fix” the issues until an official patch is released.

  • @kamiboy

    I don’t agree with the PS3 not being able to handle 2 things at the same time but I do think is time to cut the in-game crap…

    10 bucks says someone posts in-game before the next 5 posts

  • For the LOVE OF GOD

    give us

    IN GAME XMB

  • Wow sony…It’s actually been a year now since the public have been begging for in-game XMB! LOL
    HMMMMmm! I wonder when will Sony star to listen to their fans?
    Well, maybe when they start losing those fans. Who knows! I guess time will tell.

  • How about ditching crappy GAMESPY and the server based model for an actual decent online gameplaying experience….and of course IN GAME XMB??

  • Firmware 2.00 problems. Downloaded the update and now, no sound from my PS3. Has anyone else run into this problem?
