PS3 Firmware 2.70 – Tomorrow?
March 25th, 2009 | By admin
As GDC09 goes on, a lot of RUMORS have surfaced and there has been a lot of chatter around the web regarding the PlayStation’s 2.70 Firmware update. Now, we all know that the Resistance 2 patch is coming tomorrow, but could it just be that the PS3 FW2.70 will be released along with it? It most certainly sounds possible as the Resistance patch needs that new firmware in order for it to be able to do everything it is saying it will do like…..being able to log-in 2 PSN accounts.
The Resistance 2 patch will allow players to fully log-in 2 PSN accounts, which is perfect when playing co-op. James Stevenson from Insomniac games had this to say:
“This is correct. Resistance 2 is the first game to fully log-in two PSN accounts. LBP only logs you in locally, and does not register both accounts as online through PSN.
This is a big difference, and what is required for split-screen online co-op with other folks. And it was dependent on a Sony update, hence why it wasn’t in when the game shipped.”
There you have it TQFam, what do you think? Is it really possible that we just might get our 2.70 update tomorrow along with the Resistance 2 patch? And if so, what else do you think this update will have?
I love my ps3 interface because it doesn't force me to look at advertisements like the 360 dash. I hope they keep ads off my clean interface. I hope i'll be able to charge my controller while the system is off. I would also like an option to switch my themes background choices for that specific theme. "You know how themes have multiple backgrounds" A save mode for my themes when I combine icons from another theme and a wallpaper of my own would be nice. The abilty to download or use my own PSN ID display pic. I really want to be able to join someones game just by going to my friends list and join them in whatever game server their at. Not much to ask for, but I hope they thought about these at least. These were just somethings on the top of my head that would be nice.
