The Official "Bring Back the PS3 *Chime*" Thread - Blu-ray Forum

Groo The Perverted · 12-30-2009, 12:18 AM

Am I the only one that misses that "chime" sound when you load up a game? Am I the only one?

I loved that, and it was a cool thing. Now when you pop in the game it just ...loads.

The explanation I heard was that it somehow increased the load time by removing the chime? I can't imagine it's THAT big of an increase.

How many people want that chime back? It's not a huge deal, but still....

I don't really care if the chime is in or not, but it brings me memories of the good ol' days.

KingBing · 12-30-2009, 02:21 AM

I want it back!

Groo The Perverted · 12-30-2009, 03:25 AM

YAY! Me and Stephie agree on something!

Now I just need...*calculating*...8,541,381 more positive things so I can get back to where she merely dislikes me! Whoo Hoo! I'm on a roll folks! lol

How bout an assortment of chimes for $4.99 a month.

A sucker is born every minute. It's only a couple of pennies per hour.

Yeah when you'd put in a ps3 game disc and load it up, as soon as the screen went black you'd hear the chime.

I loved that sound, and they did away with it with (I believe) Firmware 3.0

Also the sound the PS3 would make when the system starts up....

I miss it too

And the start up sound!
Sony should put the chime back on the system for at least PS3 exclusives, that's be cool

partridge · 12-30-2009, 10:48 AM

I miss the original start up sound, I haven't really missed the game start jingle

I don't care about the chime, I just want an option to take the damn box around the time off and the time itself.

It's a subtley different sound, but noticeable when you hear the old (better) one!

Rike255 · 12-30-2009, 02:50 PM

I like the new startup sound better now, but I really miss the chime when the games started.

progers13 · 12-30-2009, 02:52 PM
