    Haven't heard zilch. I can see Uncharted getting a patch, I would love to take a HD picture of when Drake is standing at the edge of the cliff. Freakin' awesome.

    That's what I was thinking, that it would be a "print screen" esque functionality.

    Probably isn't as easy as it sounds. I'd stick with video capture.

    Well with such a nice added feature...I really hope it starts to get supported, like with every game, including all multiplatform ones.

    I really wish when Sony thinks of ideas to roll out in their FW updates that they'd make them part of the system and able to just work without requireing devs to update older games or add it to games being deved. Honestly, something like screen grabbing should be something that the PS3-OS is able to do without the need for a game to have certain code in place.

    It should be doable from the system itself, if it were coded right.

    That sounded like such an awesome feature too. Maybe it still will be.

    I wish the PSP had it.

    I heard rumors that it was heading to the PSP way before I heard about it hitting the PS3.

    well i have a usb keyboard i bought for my ps3, so they better just make a key command for that. this is bullshit, screen capture is so simple.

    if you have to access the in game xmb to do it its not even worth it. the best thing would be to use it online and then send it to someone but thats not going to be possible given how slow the xmb works.

    come on, stop crying honestly.. Your arguement is dumb as hell..
    'wtf' would you do if they didn't even add the feature, cry about something else? - They perfectly AND clearly stated "this will be on game per game basis"...
    Meh...
