But Sony quickly shut down the rumor and flatly denied any news pertaining to the upcoming PS3 firmware update.
According to the source from VG247, the PS3 Firmware 3.0 will be a completely new system for the console and will feature a reputation system in which users will be able to evaluate each other, and will be provided for game applications. IT will also have a new API so that the user can allow other users and obtain users reputation.
A grief reporting system will also be included that will allow gamers to take screens of offensive players and submit them to Sony. The firmware will also allow patches to be downloaded in the background, meaning youÂ’ll no longer have to sit staring at the screen while Random Shooter updates itself with a 500Mb fix. A simultaneous HDMI and digital optical outputting will be included in the release.
VG247 claims they’ve been told that there are a lot more features and will be revealed soon. But a Sony rep released a statement and told gaming site Joystiq that the rumors are completely untrue and nothing has been announced or confirmed for the upcoming Playstation firmware, and this is just wild speculation.
