Fans were expecting many new features with the 2.8 update, just to name a few:
- In-game video chat.
- Cross-game chat.
- Cross-platform chat.
- Full-body motion control using someone else's body.
- New PS3 Home features.

But the PlayStation blog confirmed that the only update made was ‘’The playback quality of some PLAYSTATION 3 format software has been improved’’.PS3 fans are going to have to wait for the next release to see any real changes.
