Avernus Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 http://dus01.ps3.update.playstation.net/up...46/PS3UPDAT.PUP that's the link for it and there's a few goodies apparently... * Trophy Notification – The in-game notification will now include the specific Trophy icon created by the developer. * Information Board – This will now be able to include direct links to the PLAYSTATION Store. * Photo – View optional EXIF (exchangeable image file format) information while viewing photos. * On-Screen Keyboard – The Y and Z, Q and A keys have been remapped for the German on-screen keyboard. * Web Browser – Flash 9 content is now supported. * 50 Hz Video Output: Automatic/50 Hz – Sets the playback method for content that is recorded at 50Hz. This setting is used for content that is saved on the hard disk. * DivX VOD Registration Code – Displays the registration code that is required to play DivX VOD content. * [Printer Selection] – 'HP' and 'Other (Network Standard)' added. + Posted by Eric Lempel // Director, PlayStation Network Operations The latest features/enhancements include: * Support for the PS3 Official Bluetooth Headset – we’ve told you about the upcoming Bluetooth Headset and SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation Bundle on the Blog. This latest firmware installment enables High-Quality (HQ) mode, which delivers clear and wide-band online voice chat. On top of that, an added on-screen indicator shows battery status, volume level and use of HQ mode. * PlayStation Trophies Interface Enhancements – I know that many of you are busy collecting trophies and raising your PlayStation Trophy level. This update makes sharing and comparing your trophies with your friends even easier. On 1st part of the profile page you’ll see a symbol under level that represents level and the actual percentage towards the next level along with the existing level meter. The level symbol carries over to the trophy comparison screen where you will now be able to see your level, your friend’s level and the percentage towards the next level for both users along with all of the game by game comparison information you see today. * Friend status – Offline friends on your Friends list will have information below their avatars that will indicate how long it has been since they were last online. * Video – This update adds the Scene Search feature similar to the feature on the PSP. Activating this feature while viewing a video on the PS3 will break the video up into scenes that you can quickly access by pressing the X button. You can break the videos into one, two or five minute intervals. In addition, you can now choose to have all of the videos under the video section of the XMB play in sequence. Go to Settings then Video Settings to turn this option on. * PlayStation Store – We’ve added a redeem codes option right on the store to make it easier to redeem your PlayStation Network Cards and promotion codes. In addition, PlayStation Network Sign Up and Account Management have been redesigned. * Power Save Settings – You can now set your PS3 and wireless controllers to turn off automatically after set periods of inactivity. Go to Settings then Power Save Settings to turn on these features. * Background Downloading – You now have the option to set the PS3 to turn off automatically after a background download or installation of content has completed. This option is available when you turn off the system from the button under [users] while content is being downloaded or installed. * In-game Screenshots – this tool will allow everyone to capture, share and in other words, immortalize their favorite gameplay moments. This will be supported on a game by game basis. Please check back to find out which games will support this feature. * In addition to all of the features above there are some additional features and enhancements included in 2.50. Once the update launches, you can read all of the details here. The support for the Bluetooth Headset will be of particular interest to all of you SOCOM fans. With the “Proximity Chat” feature, SOCOM: Confrontation gameplay is intensified as it allows you to experience high-quality voice playback in full surround sound. Whether the action is near or far, Proximity Chat clearly matches distance to sound effects and voiceovers within the game, putting you in the heart of the action.

Shorttynaz Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I'm still trying to figure out all the hype behind the PS3 - I own one and ALL I use it for is the Blu-Ray player. I do on the other hand also own an Xbox 360 and a Wii. The 360 is still hands down the best console out there. Better interface, the controller fits better in your hand, the load times aren't as long, and Xbox Live is SO worth the $50/year subscription. And the Wii?? It's a great party system when people are over and havin some drinks. But as for single player games - HA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avernus Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 I don't know? I'm fine with the PS3....to each his own I guess... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorttynaz Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 (edited) Yeah - I've got nothing against the PS3. I just prefer the 360. I do however like how they have the six-axis thingy with the PS3 paddle. I just wish it actually fit comfortably in your hand. You said it best. To each his own..

I mean all systems offer their own thing.....I'm not sure I'd personally play the Wii past 30 days and the whole 360/red ring of death thing scares the crap out of me.....plus I guess I prefer the PS3 exclusives along with the Blu-ray player because I have over 50 Blu-rays.... Resistance 2 and Little Big Planet are going to make the PS3 a little more popular this upcoming holiday season as will Gears of War 2 for the 360...
