PS3 (v2.50) update Available Now!

V2.50
Now on to the PS3 v2.50 update. The latest features/enhancements include:

  • Support for the PS3 Official Bluetooth Headset - we’ve told you about the upcoming Bluetooth Headset and SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation Bundle on the Blog. This latest firmware installment enables High-Quality (HQ) mode, which delivers clear and wide-band online voice chat. On top of that, an added on-screen indicator shows battery status, volume level and use of HQ mode.
  • PlayStation Trophies interface enhancements - I know that many of you are busy collecting trophies and raising your PlayStation Trophy level. This update makes sharing and comparing your trophies with your friends even easier. On 1st part of the profile page you’ll see a symbol under level that represents level and the actual percentage towards the next level along with the existing level meter. The level symbol carries over to the trophy comparison screen where you will now be able to see your level, your friend’s level and the percentage towards the next level for both users along with all of the game by game comparison information you see today.
  • Friend status – Offline friends on your Friends list will have information below their avatars that will indicate how long it has been since they were last online.
  • Video – This update adds the Scene Search feature similar to the feature on the PSP. Activating this feature while viewing a video on the PS3 will break the video up into scenes that you can quickly access by pressing the X button. You can break the videos into one, two or five minute intervals. In addition, you can now choose to have all of the videos under the video section of the XMB play in sequence. Go to Settings then Video Settings to turn this option on.
  • PlayStation Store – We’ve added a redeem codes option right on the store to make it easier to redeem your PlayStation Network Cards and promotion codes. In addition, PlayStation Network Sign Up and Account Management have been redesigned.
  • Power Save Settings – You can now set your PS3 and wireless controllers to turn off automatically after set periods of inactivity. Go to Settings then Power Save Settings to turn on these features.
  • Background Downloading - You now have the option to set the PS3 to turn off automatically after a background download or installation of content has completed. This option is available when you turn off the system from the button under [Users] while content is being downloaded or installed.
  • In-game Screenshots - this tool will allow everyone to capture, share and in other words, immortalize their favorite gameplay moments. This will be supported on a game by game basis. Please check back to find out which games will support this feature.
  • In addition to all of the features above there are some additional features and enhancements included in 2.50. Once the update launches, you can read all of the details here.

The support for the Bluetooth Headset will be of particular interest to all of you SOCOM fans. With the “Proximity Chat” feature, SOCOM: Confrontation gameplay is intensified as it allows you to experience high-quality voice playback in full surround sound. Whether the action is near or far, Proximity Chat clearly matches distance to sound effects and voiceovers within the game, putting you in the heart of the action.

Enjoy and please share your thoughts with us.

Halo 3: Recon

null-426222480-1223753617
 
Next fall's Halo 3: Recon will be the last installment in the Halo series, according to developer Bungie, putting to rest -- as much as is possible in the ever-erratic and unpredictable video game industry -- rumors that Master Chief will be woken from the slumber he was put into at the end of Halo 3 to return for a fourth installment of one of the most popular games of the decade.

Halo 3: Recon, due for release in fall 2009, takes place in the Halo universe but will feature a different protagonist than the faceless Master Chief. Officially it takes place during some of the events of Halo 2. Based on statements from Bungie and trailer footage, the game appears to combine traditional, heavy-duty, Halo-style combat with stealth missions. Details are otherwise scarce: Rather than being a one-man army with the fate of the universe on your shoulders, you're playing a lone soldier stuck behind Covenant lines and won't be tripping across the universe like in the primary series. But what your mission is and how it fits in with the primary Halo story is still a mystery for now.

Of course, even though Bungie is saying this is the end of the line for the Halo series and that the Halo development team will soon be split up and its members moving on to other projects in the company, it would be foolish to count the series as completely out. The company's language on the subject is invariably couched as "I think...," and seeing a revival of the series at some point in time would be wholly unsurprising. Like Hollywood, the gaming business doesn't like to let its most popular franchises simply vanish (cough Mario cough), preferring instead to squeeze every last penny out of a popular series until it can stand no more. Given that the three core games in the Halo franchise have already earned over a billion dollars in total sales to date, there's clearly some life left here to take advantage of, no matter what Bungie says publicly.

Home Closed Beta Second Wave Invitations has been released.

DSC00011


          The second wave of the Closed Home Beta testers has been released!
Today when I went home for lunch I was checking my email and noticed that I got a PSU
email. To my surprise it was the invitational letter with the code of course, to install HOME.
What it was really surprisenly was that the size of the file was just 86 mb. The only thing I can
think is that everything else will be downloading as the Home feautures are available.
I did had a chance to install, but, no time to play with it since I had to get back to work.
I will try it out, play around for awhile, and soon will review the Home Beta, remember is just the beta
we don't know for sure how good it will be until its release with full features and functuonalities.
