Good news, Sony PlayStation 3 owners! The highly-anticipated new firmware for your Cell Processor-powered beastie is finally here, and it’s come with an update that’s sure to make your Blu-ray or DVD-watching experience just a bit more next-gen. So while you’re firing up your media center to download this free-of-charge treasure, here’s the changelog to fill us in on the details:
- Playlists that were created in Music and Photo can now be copied along with the content they contain to a PSP system. You can play the content on the PSP system in the order that was set on the PS3 system.
- BD Profile 2.0 is now supported. With BDs that support BD-LIVE, you can access internet content for the BD.
- Resume play* can now be used on a BD or DVD even if the PS3 system has been turned off or the disc has been ejected. However, there are some discs on which resume play cannot be used.
- DivX content that exceeds 2 GB can now be played. Also, subtitles can now be displayed for DivX content.
To recap – or to re-enlighten, if you haven’t been keeping up with the news – Sony went ahead and delivered what they promised, which is the highly-anticipated Blu-ray Disc Profile 2.0. What’s exciting about this is that it opens up an entire world of new features whenever you pop in a Blu-ray disc movie (that comes with BD features, of course).
Unfortunately, the PSP Portable Copy feature,as announced, did not make the cut this update – so we’ll be waiting for it to pop up in a future firmware release. In the meantime, enjoy!
