Firmware 3.0 Details? Nope (Maybe)
You might’ve seen reports of PS3 firmware 3.0 details floating around the internet. These reports said that the firmware will release before Christmas and was a ‘huge overhaul’ to the XMB, comparing it to 306’s NXE in that respect.
The updates promised for the firmware were a reputation system, a griefing reporting system, simultaneous sound output through HDMI and digital optical cable and, the most interesting of the promised additions, background downloading of game patches. We want that one.
The origin of the rumour was VG247, who ended the article with an arrogant ‘Just remember where you heard it first’. Joystiq contacted SCEA, who proceeded to say ‘Those rumors are completely untrue, nothing has been announced or confirmed for upcoming PlayStation firmware, and this is just wild speculation.’ So it’s untrue.
Of course, that’s exactly what you might expect Sony to say, but there you go. Let’s just cross our fingers for background downloading of patches, eh?

Sounds like somebody has taken what everyone WANTS. Im no different, and hope this comes to fruition (esp. the background dloading of patches), but this is no different to any other rumour.
A griefing reporting system? Come on. Thats weak. Griefing is about the only enjoyment I get out of GTA 4 anymore.
Griefing isn’t something to be proud of, Michael.
