Hey there PS3 owners. Yes the 10 of you out there. A new version of the PlayStation 3 firmware is available for download in the US. The
PlayStation blog has some details on the new update. I'll never understand the remote eject feature that the new update has. I mean, you're going to get up anyways to get the disc. Why do we need to push the button to eject the disk from far away? The rest of the updates include:
- Ability to rearrange games on the XMB
- Option menu now includes “eject disk”
- Press triangle to eject games/CDs/movies in the XMB
- XMB backgrounds
- Change the folder classification
- Emoticons
- Change CD output to 44.1/88.2/176.4kHz
- Force 24Hz output for Blu-ray over HDMI
- Change PS3 video settings in-game
- “Bit Mapping” in the “Music Setting”
- Save AVCHD type animations from a Memory Stick
- Change settings like upscaling while playing PS and PS2 games
- Add bookmarks
- Web browser security function in the browser’s tool section
- Avatar moves during audio visual chat
