PS3 now Includes HDMI Cable

Sony’s HD-capable console will soon  include a HD cable.
A new PlayStation 3 bundle spotted on Amazon is set to go on sale this month starting June 12 that will include a copy of LittleBigPlanet (Game of the Year Edition) and a HDMI cable for $349.99.
This is the first time since the console was released in 2006 that a HDMI cable is packed in. Sony had previously only included a standard composite video cable.
It’s unclear at the moment if a HDMI cable will become standard across all PlayStation 3 bundles, or if this is a one-time offer. At this time, Sony has not responded when asked for comment.

PS3 Firmware 3.15 confirmed and dated

Just a little smidgen of news for you today. We’re getting reports that the PlayStation 3’s firmware 3.15 will be released very soon.

Firmware 3.10 brought limited Facebook integration and a fix for the ugly friends list. The unconfirmed firmware 3.15 will bring…well we don’t know.

[UPDATE] – All we know is that there should be fixes for controller pairing, the ability to transfer data between two PS3’s linked with an Ethernet cable (converting saves should be easier now), and PSP minis will now be…playable on PS3s.

The firmware, rumoured on Neogaf, is said to be posted in only two days time on December 10th.

 

Could this be the PS3 firmware update we’ve been waiting for? We doubt that it’s time for cross-game voice chat, since Sony would most likely have given the update a more significant collection of digits.

Our friends at TheSixthAxis have also brought us news that Sony will update the PlayStation Store on the 22nd December this Christmas and then over two weeks later on January 7th.

[UPDATE 2] – This firmware update has now been confirmed by Sony Europe. Find details on its key features on Playstation University.

How To Deactivate A PS3 Without The PS3?

Note: I want to be clear that I am not a fanboy and anyone who reads my blog often enough knows this. I don’t write to flame topics to get hits because that is not what I am about. I write what I think, I tell the truth about things that happen to ME, I can’t speak for anyone else. I am just a regular guy who wants some honest information sometime and when I couldn’t find any I decided that I would write. So after you read this and before you make a judgment about my character or integrity please read some of my other content whether it be articles or reviews first and then decide. Thank you. -Zo aka thatruth2006

The problem is that YOU can’t. So anyone who knows me and reads this blog knows how big a fan of the PS3 I am but when stuff like this keeps happening it really makes it hard Sony. So a few post back a lot of you will remember that all of the sudden my PS3 just stopped reading Blu-Ray disc. I tried everything I could, searched the net, but alas in the end I had to purchase a new PS3. All was good in the world until today. Today, enjoying the long holiday break I decided to download the entire second season of one of my favorite TV shows. I didn’t anticipate a problem since I had downloaded demos and stuff from Playstation Home on this new console without a problem, but boy was I wrong.
