PlayStation 3 firmware 1.92 released

PS3 News | A small, small update.

Sony has offiically updated the firmware for the PlayStation 3 to 1.92. Users turning on their PlayStation 3 today will be asked to upgrade to firmware 1.92.

So what exactly does this update fix? Well, without a changelog it's hard to tell what the update fixes, it seems that our wireless is performing a little better than normal, but we'll hassle Sony for a list of what has changed and report back once we know what's changed.

Apparently its mostly a fix for Warhawk. A poor one, at that - it fixes the freezing issues that some individuals are experiencing during play, but doesn't fix the isue people are having with their ranks not changing, or the constant network issues.

Wait for the big update when Home comes out, which should enable XMB during play. Until then, another small update is due soon with some more Warhawk fixes, and apparently Incognito will also be giving out a 'present' for all the Warhawk issues. I'm taking bets we'll even have to pay for this 'present'.

Actually the PS Asia website (which is in English) states:

The PLAYSTATION®3 system software version 1.92 update includes the following:
Playability status with the PS3™ system has changed for some PLAYSTATION®3 format titles.

Whatever that means, I guess they mean WarHawk fixes ???

Sounds like some minor Warhawk fixes and perhaps some improvement to PS2 backwards compatability. If you've got any PS2 games that didn't work prior to the update, give them another shot and post your results.

I have updated. But cant really notice anything new or different. I guess its really minor update.

Looking forward to the big 2.0

It wastes 110MB off of my monthly download quota. That's what the bloody thing does.

Wouldn't it be nice if it were something more along the lines of:

The PLAYSTATION®3 system software version 1.92 update includes the following:

- Activated rumble function on all existing SIXAXIS(tm) controllers.

"Playability status with the PS3TM system has changed for some PLAYSTATION®3 format titles*."

* This does not affect titles in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Oceania.

Seems this was just an update for NTSC software emulation of PS2/PSX games.

"It wastes 110MB off of my monthly download quota. That's what the bloody thing does."

Looks that way.

Some have stated you can now have animated flash wallpapers and some enhanced controller power-off stuff and faster XMB/Game exits and PS Store response, but it seems this was mostly a "fix" and not a "feature" update so we probably won't get many details about it.
