It has been ‘confirmed’ that the update for the PS3 is tommorow (oct 15). Here are the details:
Announcing PS3 v2.50
The next system software updates for both the PLAYSTATION 3 and PSP will be available tomorrow! Here’s a quick rundown of the great new features that we’ll be able to enjoy from 15 October 2008:
PS3 System Software version 2.50
- Improved Official Bluetooth Headset wireless headset support, including an on-screen indicator that shows volume, battery charge, and mute functions.
- Bluetooth Headset Wireless headset High Quality (HQ) mode, which utilises advanced wireless technologies and the headset’s dual-microphone design to enable clear and wide-band wireless voice communication with PS3 system.
- An in-game screenshot capture tool – titles that support the feature will be announced in the future.
- PS3 Trophies user interface enhancement – When players acquire a Trophy, the in-game notification will now include the specific Trophy icon created by the developer, while more intuitive options for comparing Trophies with friends have been added, including an icon to represent each Trophy level.
- Video – Video scene search functionality will provide thumbnails to help you find a particular scene in a video more easily.
- Information Board – The Information Board will be able to include direct links to PlayStation Store, making it easier for PS3 owners to download content that they read about on the Information Board.
- Power save – PS3 owners will have the option to automatically shut-off their console or controllers after pre-selected periods of inactivity.
- Flash 9 content becomes supported on the Internet Browser.
I THINK HOME is going to be released with it, no word on that yet, although with the video they released they didn’t mention anything, but some official sites did mention HOME will be released with 2.50, as did I. We will just have to wait and see. The update is diffinatly going to be sometime this week, if not tommorow due to the fact that PSN is down and so are the severs “Severs are down for Maintainence”. So if my facts are right, hope you all enjoy the update I will write a overview of it tommorow.
