@misterhearn I'm sorry, would you rather have a console that never gets updates? I, for one, feel I get more of my money's worth when the console gets updated frequently. Plus, new features keep a product fresh. Go back to your PS2 or Gamecube if you hate updates that much.
Features? More like tweaks to stop piracy, they don't wanna end up like the 360 which is Pirate City. There hasn't been many decent new features with the continuous updating. At least M$ adds a few useful things when updating the 360. Unless you forgot the update that locked people off of PSN or the one before last that took away a feature. Don't go praising Sony for rapid updates, add a useful feature like cross game voice chat to the PSN or an improved XMB, then i'll get excited about rapid updates, until then i'll be fine with seasonal updates like I get with my Xbox that actual include useful features.
Trophies, Profile 2.0, soon to be Blu-ray 3D, Folding@Home, PlayStation Home, Photo Gallery, text chat...yeah, you're right. Sony doesn't add ANYTHING...
Again I said recently, how long ago did trophies come? How long ago did 2.0 come? These are all things that should have been there from day one anyways but all the stuff you mentioned is old. As far as 3D Blu Ray support, thats a rumor, again don't give Sony credit for something they haven't done or committed to. It still doesn't justify updating nearly every two months either, I'm calling shenanigan on this
The Xbox should have had HDMI from day one and that's why they added it later because they messed up but we're talking about software not hardware, I said that it seems as if the ps3 gets a firmware update almost every two months, most of it lately seems like bloatware. Fanboys have been getting real butt hurt about the ps3 lately geez
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
Is it just me or does Sony update the ps3 like every two months? Which update number is this? I lost track back in 08

I just wish they didn't take an hour to download and install, it's not like I'm on dial up here.

@misterhearn "These are all things that should have been there from day one anyways but all the stuff you mentioned is old."
Thats like saying the Xbox should have had HDMI from day one.
