Better late than never: PS3 firmware 2.53 is here

I do hate the fact that you have to download every other update ever, each time a new tiny one comes out.

Why not just have a choice between a "last version > latest version" or "every update for those who've just bought/connected PS3 to internet" download?

I agree with tmac. I turned on SF2HDR for a few quick games, only to be told to update first. And what was that 20-30 minutes for? Full screen flash? Fuck that.

@EVERYONE: Look idiots, believe it or not, you CAN turn off auto updates. Yes, that's right. You CAN choose when to update your console. But then you wouldn't be able to complain anymore... Choices, choices....

Same here.

So will the full episodes on ABC.com work?

pc to tv solves the problem

the ps3 is a game machine however it is trying to be a PC and doing an okay job at it.

I used to use PlayOn, but found it too buggy. It was way too inconsistent with playback so I uninstalled it.

I do use media streaming daily with my systems, but the other big problem I keep getting is "unsupported data" with some avi's, whereas the 360 plays them with no issue.

The last update was on Nov. 4th, so it was almost a month ago

meh all i know is that it gets way more updates then my 360

haha the troll speaks from his lair:
actually i dont have my PC hooked up to my TV, i was saying that would be the best option to stream media to your TV.
the ps3 is a substitute that is not a good as the PC.
why do you want to not believe that?

i could care less about this update.

if i cared to stream HULU media i would buy a PC to TV cable for a few dollars at an online store and call it a day.

its really not a great feature on the ps3 IMO.

j.howlett-
so u use your new ps3, which is a slow, hard to use, doesnt accept all formats, web browser as a computer??

who owns a ps3 and does not own a working PC?
come on el serp:
sometimes we have to get our priorities straight in life.
a PC is much more important in MY life than an entertainment/gaming console.
i would make sure to have a good working PC before a high tech ps3. that would be stupid to do. nothing wrong with the ps2.

buy a cable? wow big expense..
you are very stupid really.
to hook up a ps3 to an HDTV you have to buy an HDMI cable.
to hook up a PC to an HDTV you have to buy a cable too.

THAT IS VERY STUPID TO HAVE A PS3 AND NOT A WORKING PC.

well considering all this can be done from our PC's that are more efficient and faster anyway makes this update not needed.
PC to HDTV is faster anyway.
all of us have a PC if we have a ps3.

my ps3 is collecting dust because im not playing games on it.
anything i can do better or faster on my PC i will do there.

my PC is old, slow, and a general pain to use these days. i hardly use it

who knows where this will land but yes sk8 i use the ps3 browser and my cell phone alot more. the ps3 helped alot when i got hurt and couldn't move around to well.

The problem with a DVI connection from computer to your televiscion is you get no audio from the TV. You have to do the audio from the computer in that case. It's not so easy to just hook a computer to the TV with allot of ppl setup. My setup I can do with a laptop but again is easy to just use the ps3 in that case instead of running crappy audio speakers from my computer or use the dedicated built in audio.

No one is saying this feature keep up from using blu-ray but it's a good feature for people who stream from site like hulu and megavideo. It's free to use and it also more convienance than using some other setup with a dvi cable and laptop.

People acting like expand features is bad thing. Try to say dumb thing to minimize every thing on Joystiq for playstation . If you don't like feature don't use feature. To come here and harass people because they use this feature is immature and child like.

*my ps3 is collecting dust because im not playing games on it.*

If you not playing game on it that your fault. You would not know a game if it hit you in the head. Every system have lots of good games out include exclusive and multiple platforms.

*anything i can do better or faster on my PC i will do there.*

Good that the world dont revolve around you because everyone else would miss out. I don't use my psp for skype but some do. Do this mean it should not be there. Feature are good for devices.

If you want to play ps3 game go play some game like rrsistance 2, little big planets, wipeout hd, socom, naruto or vakryia cronhnicles. also psn game for sale 1/2 off like echocrome & 3 others.

It obvious you hate you ps3 so just give to a friend for the holidays or sell it if you hate it so much. seem like all you do is complaining about the playstation. like a little baby.

sorry for my bad english ...

In fact Not all the Youtube Videos Works.
I have a 16:9 TV with 1920i@60Hz.

In many of these Videos I get nothing but a totally BLACK or blank video viewer.

I wonder.. Noone else had the same problem ??
