Click to expand...

Who's going to be first at putting their arse on? LOL.

This is the second bit of "evidence" I've seen today. Apparently the EULA of the PSN has been updated for version 2.0 with effect on the same date. It seems to allow uploads of some sort...
 
awesome. good to see the xmb, though its a shame my non-gaming grips arent really being addressed. (44.1khz output for anything other than cds, dsd bitstream, dts-ma/dolby trueHD bitstream)


still, a good looking update!
 
Anyone been having problems signing in to the PSN?

A few times I've failed to auto-sign in :confused:
