Thanks to @Mackdanny ;)
So tomorrow, October 23rd, Sony will release 4.30. The update will finally address an issue/request from Vita owners, namely, the ability to see BOTH sets of trophies from PS3 AND Vita. When the Vita released, you were always able to see both sets of trophies on the handheld, but it took Sony 8 months to make it so on the PS3. Vita trophies have always been accumulating to your PSN, but the PS3 just couldn’t display them. Better late then never i guess.
HOWEVER……
This DOES remove the folding @hom e app known as Life with Playstation. This is the only known (so far) removal that Sony has done. Maybe not so big a deal, however I can see people getting frustrated that Sony removes something else. Folding at home was an app that lets your PS3 lend CPU power to study Protein Folding for research. More on that HERE.
More info to come as it is available.

My friend has been telling me to buy a Vita I don't see anything special about a handheld portal expect that is is portable and lowers a electricity bill.

I would be elated if it did stop hacked psn access. absolutely nothing good comes from people writing online hacks. ruins games. do what you will to your ps3, i have no problems hacking your ps3, just stay the hell off psn.
**** psn and all other ways to get online here should be outlawed from this site.

Say what you will but I used folding a lot when I first got my ps3. I blame several of my friends' YLoDs on that as well.

Broken link to more info.
I remember when folding[MENTION=98700]hom[/MENTION]e first came out. Made me feel like I was making a difference. Was hoping to see some explanation like: Folding[MENTION=98700]hom[/MENTION]e research data analysis completed, no need for app to continue, GG cancer.... But history repeating itself as always would mean $ony has some problem with people using their PS3s for something other than what makes them $$$.

Hey if your talented enough to hack and do some extraordinary modding then go for it, everyone else can hate it all they want but bottom line is --you still have people in the game shooting eachother, with the exception that one guy is flying around...everyone has the ability to do it, its just that only one guy is smart enough to actually enable the full potential of his gaming console.
As far as pirating goes, I dont publicly condone theft of any sort. Although if I own a hacked system and I am offered a "backed up" game I will accept, because I was raised that by not accepting a gift of any kind was rude to the individual offering me the gift. Even if the individuaoffering it to me is my laptop, I love my laptop and would never hurt it's feelings.

Once more, shame on you Sony...

I agree. That was even helping research that could better benefit mankind one day through collective computing. And it would crunch some numbers as well.
Sony only cares about Sony. Another point for Microsoft :D At least they contribute lots to charities. This isn't even a charity and they stop it....just some number crunching for research for Stanford University I believe it was.

I love how the *optional* was removed long ago from sony's side.
What happens if i don't want to update? = I can't play my legit games online.
What happens if i can play my legit games online? = I get mad.
What happens when i get mad = I turn to Xbox360 if not i scream like a loco and play my guitar. (real one, not that **** with buttons).
I have to add being on a heavy fight and swearing like a Nun in dante's inferno with the new **** of microsoft btw sucks big time.
Outlook?!? come on!! with windows 8 they are making heavy changes to their infrastucture and ****ing even with legit users. (Happens all the time) but this time with win 8 is worst the OS looks like something for elder people.
They bear the Karma of fail at failing with portables, also.
And sony bears the Karma of having a nice portable with 0 game catologue...i don't know which one is worst.

is this all they're doing? it seems to oddly coincide with recent hacks if you ask me. maybe something is round the corner for 4.25 ofw users? someone bring a bypass soon please.
10-23-2012
05:02 AM
Well the thing is that from what it seemed the removal was a mutual decision. Still i ran Life with Playstation yesterday for kicks... after the elevator music quit playing, Slacker by Tech N9ne started automatically playing. Folding has a nice music player, better than the XMB player, which detected music based on mood. Still, for my PS3 to call me a slacker, no matter how correct at the time, was a little odd. O.0
10-23-2012

The positive thing about this that everyone has forgotten is, this is a solution for those who semi-bricked their PS3's back then with 4.25 FW and now installing this one will probably fix it.
OP @ Where'd you learn that English from?

I hope that there wont be any cheating online for PS3 games due to this new custom firmware developement.
It seems that Folding At Home is still be supported in general. The website is up and PC client can still be downloaded here: http://folding.stanford.edu/English/HomePage
So anyone who wants to help can still do it

[QUOTE=hello345;457895]I'd rather say that the bottom line is that one guy ruins the experience for all the other players.

Highly unrealistic. No offense I respect your opinions, however there are ways around this, such as logging onto a different lobby.
As long as modders and devs exist in the world hacking and modding will never stop and I hope it never will. Many players actually enjoy playing in modded lobbies, and many lobbies ive been on have kept it fair by giving everyone the same abilities. And like I said everyone can do the same thing, they are usually just too inexperienced to do it
(i do agree that playing with GOD MODE on for an entire match is a bit much)
10-24-2012
05:52 PM
What i talked about earlier is people who come into any lobby and then start to cheat in the game. It really ruins the experience for those who want to play without mods or cheats. I shouldn't have to join and quit many lobbies/games before i find one where there are no cheaters.
I remember back when i tried Modern Warfare 2, i had to join a game, then quit because of cheaters, then join another game, then quit again because of cheaters. This was pretty annoying after a while. Luckily i was pretty much done with playing Modern Warfare 2 before all the cheating started, but if i played the game actively, this would have been really annoying. Maybe so annoying that i would have to stop playing the game even if i didn't want to.
Playing in modded lobbies only, that is cool, but people shouldn't go into any random lobby and start to cheat.
But yes, i think it is unrealistic that there will be a lot of cheating on PS3 games even with this new CFW 4.21. I don't think it will happen, i just hope that it wont be any problems

Whenever I hear of a new ps3 update I get a sick feeling in my stomach.
10-25-2012
08:22 AM
It's true that the US PlayStation now has a couple of Apps like on Xbox 360, but I suppose if it wasn't Microsoft that started it I doubt $ony would've added them at all. They'd probably forget or never cared.
You know, PS3's internet browser could be updated.. I wish.
10-25-2012
09:04 AM
Ya exactly. Turn on a launch 360 with the very first firmware and turn on an up to date 360. It almost feels like 2 different consoles. They give the user a fresh experience with their updates.
Then do the same with ps3. They're identical. With little to no improvement to the end user...only to Sony
10-25-2012
09:25 AM
Pity to hear that you get sick to your stomach from every PS3 firmware update. Isn't it best to sell your PS3 if it affects you this much? Personally i don't think i would keep a device that made me sick. I'd rather sell it to get rid of the unnecessary problem and go for some other alternative instead (in this case, PC, Xbox 360 and/or Wii)
I don't think that Microsoft is the pioneer within adding apps. The market has gone a lot more digital over the last few years. Streaming of videos and such has become much more common. These apps makes both Microsoft and Sony money, so i think that they would have added these apps regardless of what the competitor does.
The PS3 browser was updated in firmware 4.10.
10-25-2012
10:45 AM
- Full Kinect Support
- Marketplace of Apps
- Internet Explorer for Xbox (HTML5 -- Flash is going to die eventually)
- Windows 8 Metro Dashboard (Before it was the NXE Dashboard)
- My Pins (Able to pin content instead of going through the menus manually)
- SmartGlass (Watch this video: Link)
- Bing Search Engine
- Able to personally change the console's name to what you want
Other features that were already on Xbox 360:
- Ability to install all games on the HDD
- Listen to music while browsing or gaming
- Once the game is downloaded you can play straight away
- Download content while the console is in stand-by mode
10-25-2012
03:44 PM
[MENTION=240661]fanboysarestupid[/MENTION] Thanks for the list. Internet Explorer for Xbox requires Xbox Live Gold however, or did they recently change that? For comparison, the PS3 has gotten Move support, trophies, Vita support, in-game XMB support, text chat support, video and photo editing possibilites, Vidzone and 3D Bluray support. But the Xbox 360 does have some nice features that the PS3 doesn't have indeed
Yeah, the PS3 browser ins't the best. I only use it for forums and such, it works fine enough for that in my opinion. For Youtube, use www.ps3youtube.com instead. Then you can view Youtube videos in higher quality. I don't like that Youtube XL stuff.
10-26-2012
01:48 AM
There is quite a number of people that own 360's here as well as ps3's and saying one is better than the other would be foolish because they both bring different and awesome things to the table. But they both have their cons as well so don't go telling people to sell their ps3 just because they list something they don't like about the machine. Especially when its something so relevant to the tone of ps3hax. No one on cfw likes OFW updates here unless they own 2 ps3's (which only makes up for about 10-15% of the site)
10-26-2012
06:21 AM
I'm sure that many cares about it, but i was thinking more in general of the ~65 million PS3 consoles that are sold. As you say, most people seems to be suited perfectly with OFW. I said this in regards to what you said about next gen being strictly from Microsoft (i know you were'nt 100% serious about this of course, but i wanted to mention it anyway). I think that most people in general are happy enough with OFW (for all consoles, not just the PS3), so this probably won't affect the sales that much i think.
For me, i've cared much more about the added stuff than what was removed. I value for example trophies and in-game XMB ten times more than OtherOS (i never used it on my 60GB PS3). But this is subjective of course. Someone else most likely valued OtherOS a lot more than anything that were added, i can see that.
I don't write anything in between the lines here. If i ask a question, then it is because i want to see the reply/point of view to my question, nothing more to it than that. I hate to fight and agrue hostile, so this is not my intentions at all if i ask a question that might seems like it.
I agree with what you say here, both consoles has their pros and cons. And i'm glad that more consoles excist because it means more options for the consumers
10-26-2012
07:54 AM
I don't really see why $ony never bothered to add essential features such as allowing the end users to install all PS3 games data on the HDD and custom soundtrack.
Both features that I listed are decided by the developers if they're allowed or not. I really wish PS3 wouldn't need to be restricted to the decision of the devs, it's their game, but I bought the games and I'm the one that makes the final decision.
Right now my PS3's still with 4.21 OFW but someday I'll downgrade it or who knows in the future if a 4.21 CFW for 4.21 OFW is produced.
