PS3 Firmware 1.70 released

[sneeks]

Sony have released a new firmware update (v1.70) today which adds rumble to old PS2 accessories and will hopefully mean a replacement PS3 pad will be available soon.

The downloadable PS One games which were originally only for the PSP are now playable on the PS3

The PSP received a new firmware version today too, v3.4

GT4 is now supported in the BC side of things, I reckon I may buy it now.

Gt4 compatible!! OH MY GOD!!! Mint!

 

[sneeks]

Apparently PES6 is now working with this update.

 

[TheCake]

Excellent news

 

[sneeks]

I look forward to the updated list of BC titles, the Final Fantasy series are also reported to be working now.

Cool and on another note, just recieved my free copy of Casino Royale today

 

[sneeks]

I've still not received my copy or an email to say I'll get one

 

[valver lad]

I didn't receive a email either, which made me think i wasn't getting it. Strange?!

 

[thecremeegg]

GT4 and Pro Evo work, Metal gear solid 3 worked before the update, now doesnt

 

[sneeks]

Is GT 4 worth buying? Can get it for £8 delivered secondhand.

What is Blu-Ray quality like, have had a chance to see it yet?

I don't understand why people are so bothered with backwards compatibility. Surely the whole point of next gen consoles is to play next gen games.
Isn't that like attaching some wild stallions to your motor for some extra horsepower?

 

[sneeks]

I don't have a PS2 but would like to play GT4 so it's handy if my PS3 is able to do so

 

[oska]

Furry muff, I've kept hold of my PS2 and PS1.

 

[sneeks]

I've still got my PS1 kicking around somewhere in my house, I bought that on launch day with Wipeout and Destruction Derby

 

[*JimmyJ*]

Street Fighter EX + alpha is one sick game

Still got mine £299 wasnt it LOL

I got bought it and only had a demo disk for 3 weeks LOL

Destruction Derby Owned

 

[oska]

Was it really £299? Christ! And how long ago was that? Makes £400 for a PS3 sound not too unreasonable really!

 

[sneeks]

Yeah £300 on release day back in Sept 1995

I may download Destruction Derby from the PS3 online store when it becomes available in the UK, it'll probably look terrible now. The original Wipeout will also be available. Having said that I must still have the original PS1 copy of both at home.

Wipeout looked stunning back then, wonder how it looks in comparison to todays games.

main reson is because the games that are out for the ps3 are so few in numbers and crap !!

 

[sneeks]

I've ordered GTA Vice City today for only £5 delivered.

Cool and on another note, just recieved my free copy of Casino Royale today

My copy finally arrived today
