Archive: 14 posts


I am updating my ps3 now after exiting a game and getting told there is a new system update. It's the newest update but it didn't say what it was for... Anyone know?
PS. I'm the first person to take notice of this in this community! Awesome!

EDIT: Found it out.
Here's the link (http://uk.playstation.com/help-support/ps3/system-software/detail/item133373/Update-features-%28ver-2-53%29/)

Find out what features are included in PS3 system software update 2.53.

In order to download PS3 system software version 2.53, you will need a minimum 140Mb of free space on either the PS3 Hard Disk Drive (System Update) or on removable storage media (PC Update).

Richtig. Gave it a shot with Hulu last night and it worked fairly well even with a wireless connection. Rearranged the living room Sunday and I didn't have a CAT 5 cable long enough to get the job done the right way. Cable just arrived in the mail today so I'll wire it up tonight and - hopefully - I'll really be able to utilize the new firmware.

I had no idea it wasn't accessible in the UK. Too bad really.

Something to do with proxy sites. I had to use one a while back when part of my isp broke for a few days.

Justin.tv should work quite well with this (haven't tried it myself yet though)

Good for watching all the footie and boxing (basically any sport really) for free, if you don't mind it being youtube quality sometimes
Also loads of movie channels on there as well

I forgot about Proxy sites. I need to get one of those working so I can watch the heroes webisodes. And the Office Webisodes. And Gemini Division looks good too. Why don't the UK get any decent exclusive web content???2008-12-03 16:49:00
