First PS4 Solid Rumor!

And PS3 backwards compatibility surfaces, too
By: Alexandru Stanescu, Editor, Gaming Reviews (Consoles) | softpedia.com

Before you get overexcited, you should know that this IS a rumor, after all and it's not at all solid, at least for now. According to Gamefront.de, Sony Computer Entertainment Japan are offering now a position of software engineer, one that will have to implement backwards compatibility for the PS3 plus a future console, not specified in the job description.

Hold on for a sec... A future console? Is there a chance that we'll get to see a PS4 in a normal human lifetime? I thought that Sony were considering an early retirement from the gaming biz, having almost totally failed with the PS3. However, since they capitalized due to huge next-gen gaming device sales caused by the Wii shortage, they might have recovered both financially and in terms of morale. Half the good news of this piece of info is that finally we'll see backwards compatibility on the PS3, for the PS2, PS1 and PSP games.

It's a logical step to take and it should have been taken from the get-go, since there are lots of PS2 owners right now, who might consider a console upgrade in the next years, but would regret not being able to play their favorite titles any more. As for the PS4... I can only imagine bad things, if you ask me: a huge device, dangerous overheating problems, dual-layer Blu-ray disks, expensive games and peripherals, BUT, at least we've got backwards compatibility!

This mysterious console could as well be a portable one, but it would have to be some sort of laptop in order to be able to play all the PS3 beauties. One can only assume and check out rumors for now, as Sony might as well have the key to the ultimate portability and a decent screen plus CPU to be able to display the wonderful next-gen graphics.

PlayStation 3 Hacked ... Almost

We've got a video proof, but we don't know what to make of it
By: Alexandru Stanescu, Editor, Gaming Reviews (Consoles) | softpedia.com

Be advised that we don't encourage piracy, but we're surprised to see that the homebrewers have (almost) finally made it, after such a long research. Word goes that Team ICE has found a way of running SELF files in GamesOS on the PS3's 2.10 firmware. Translation: they managed to run an unsigned code on a retail PS3 through a Resistance: Fall of Man exploit, surfaced on the latest firmware.

There's a video proof of this major breakthrough for homebrewers and you can check it out below. The Resistance: Fall of Man exploit allowed homebrewers to hack into the PS3 GameOS and run the above-mentioned unsigned code. The release of the files and apps needed for this exploit to work was followed by numerous attempts of taking down the site hosting them plus many fake files appearing on the Internet, claiming that they can hack your PS3.

Since these homebrewing wars are still going on, we advise you not to download apps or files used in the process of exploiting the PS3, because they might be fake. Such initiatives were also seen when Dark_Alex released his PSP hacked firmwares and various fake files were made available bricking many consoles. These are the times when you can't trust a homebrewer, specially because his software gets tempered with and put up for download, in search for cheap fame, by various individuals who only want to have a good laugh and destroy a couple of PS3 consoles.

Hacking your console is obviously your choice, but you probably know that the PS3's not doing as good as Sony wanted it to, so a mod is the last thing they need right now. Imagine Sony having to retire from the game biz because of this issue...

New PS3 Firmware Arrives with System Issues

We'll tell you how to fix them, for now
By: Alexandru Stanescu, Editor, Gaming Reviews (Consoles) | softpedia.com

Updating your firmware has become an obligation nowadays, even if we're talking about a PS3 console of iPhone. Sony's next-gen gaming device has just benefited from a firmware update and people have already started complaining about the issues it causes. According to Destructoid
the PS3 owners who have installed the version 2.00 firmware are dealing with system issues, which include disc reading errors, system failures or major lags while browsing the menus.

The complaints of the unlucky PS3 owners have also surfaced on all major PlayStation forums and the most common of them is the XMB operation slowdown. Also the unofficial statistic says that the 60GB PS3 is more likely to be plagued by these issues than the other versions of the console. Of course, there are forum posters who claim that their gaming device is working perfectly after the update, while others reply that they're frustrated by the constant freezing of their console.

It seems that there might be a way to stop these issues from happening, by disabling that brand new news ticker added with the update. In case you don't know how to disable the feature, just press the triangle button when "Information Board" is selected in the XMB and then select the "Disable" option. Now it seems clear, more than ever, why the Xbox 360 manages to conquer the Japanese market, Sony's homeland having fallen in love with Microsoft's gaming device. When was the last time you saw a software glitch on a 360?

I mean, it has its own "plagues", like the "Red Ring of Death", but that's a hardware issue and it's pretty much extinct right now, so Sony's the glitch master for now. Of course, we might be seeing a patch of the new firmware or even a firmware that fixes the 2.00 version soon enough, but the sour taste is still present in the PS3 owners' mouth.
