It can't be worse than the horrid interface Microsoft stuck us with last year. I still rarely use my 360 these days because of it. Any non-exclusive titles I just get on the PS3 now. Works great since now I don't have to pay for the privilege of using online multiplayer.
You misunderstood. I have an irrational fear of pennies, nickles, dimes, and quarters. Don't even get me started on quarter-lobbies.
Yeah the comments on the blog make it seem as if Sony raped their childhood. I mean I understand if they completely changed what worked, but it's the same damn thing. I would like for the font size to be made an option, but I sure as hell am not losing sleep over it.
Got it (download went faster than normal for the PS3) and really don't see much change. But then I hardly use the PS3 for games, however there are a few upcoming games that I'll be getting.
Yea, Windy stay off the blog's boards just go there for news and leave. It's like that in the MAG beta board as well. Sometimes it's like a bomb went off in there and you're just trying to figure out what the hell happened. Sony tries and I am sure will try to fix what they can but they always bite the hand that feeds' em.
I actually updated mine earlier last night or early morning when it went live. It's okay...I still don't see what the big deal is about 3.0 since not a whole lot has changed.
When I downloaded Shadow Complex it took me just as long as it would have taken to download a similarly-sized file on the PS3. I think the purpose of 3.0 assimilate PS3 Slim as is evident by the new startup screen. Media hyped up 3, and sony posted some videos of the new elements. They never really said that it was more than what it was. It was never broken, so I'm glad they didn't try to fix it. The Fonts are huge, Devilz. Not the headers, but the game titles and video names etc etc.
RAARGH They changed the power-on tuning orchestra sound! It's the END of teh WORLD!!!11!!ii!!ii!! And meh, the fonts are a hair bigger. Nothing major. Oooooooooohhh... sparkly....
I played with 3.0 a bit today. Not really liking it. I want the option to go back to the original theme with the font and everything else being the same. The new startup sound is less classy. I really want the chime and logo back. The friends list and info bar need to go away. Other than that its pretty cool. The sparkly theme is nice.
Miss the Playstation 3 logo/chime before the game starts thing and the fonts do seem to be a tad large, and the original start up stuff was better, so far no problems with it messing anything up though.
The glitter was fun to look at for a minute or two, but I went back to the classic wave wallpaper. Love the What's New app, very slick. I hate that they've put a PS store icon in 3 different places. Also - please let us turn off the ticker and chose font size. Finally, gimme some MGS avatars. k, thx.
I don't spend enough time on the menus to really have noticed anything much, it took me reading this thread and then going back to look to see the font was bigger. Although the direct link to the BBC I-Player is nice (I guess this is UK only)
My only complaint is that it goes right to that "What's new" menu thing when it boots up rather than to the game menu.
