UPDATE: Firmware 1.90 to feature Background Music Option

0

A screenshot surfaced soon after E3 claiming that PS3 Firmware 1.90 will have a in-game music playback feature. According to a post by Patrick Seybold, Sr. Manager of PR, on the PlayStation Blog, the screenshot is fake and probably an “artists creative expression for what they want”.

“I can’t verify that the ‘your music’ screen is real. It’s obviously not a great shot, and I was at just about every kiosk during E3 and didn’t see anything like that on any unit we had there, and yes, I helped set them up, so I would definitely have seen it. I think it is an artists creative expression for what they want..We will definitley have more info on the firmware updates here very soon.”

According to another post over at the PlayStation Blog, Patric Seybold has said that more information on the next firmware update will be revealed next week.

“Early next week, we’ll have something on the firmware.”

New SIXAXIS Controller will have more than just Rumble

0

Kikizo has learned that the second-generation PlayStation 3 controller is in the works, and is set to offer more than just rumble feedback. In a recent interview, Sony Computer Entertainment’s global President Kaz Hirai said that rumble is “obviously” being looked at now that legal issues with Immersion are out of the way, and then added: “We’re also looking at a variety of other things that we can incorporate with the controller, and we’ll come out with announcements when we think we have the right mix of features.”

Hirai pointed out that the PlayStation controller has always been an evolving peripheral, citing the original no-frills PS1 controller. “It’s come all the way to this point… it’s not the final model for a PS3 controller.”
