New information about the upcoming firmwares for the PS3 and PSP have surfaced. Well, when Eric Lempel revealed the list of features for PS3 FW 2.50 and PSP FW 5.00 yesterday, he did say it wasn't the entire changelog.
See, just earlier, Sony's sent an official press release outlining pretty much everything that Lempel said yesterday: PSP gets the PSP Store, a sleep timer option, redesigned XMB, and an on-screen QWERTY keyboard. But here's something new, right off the press line:
- Video-out – The PSP-2000’s video-out feature will be able to display classic PlayStation® format titles at the full-screen size of the TV that the PSP is connected to; the feature also will support interlace displays.
Meanwhile, on top of in-game screen capture, bluetooth headset support, and other cool changes, the PS3 FW 2.50 will also carry some other features which weren't included in Lempel's list. From the same press release we have this (thanks to FreePlay for catching this bit):
- 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.
*UPDATE*
PS3 Firmware 2.50 is now available for downloading, folks. You can check out the changelog once you start the download. You can also hit the link below for more info on it.

even when i'm downloading videos, they appear in black/white when i watch em...
nothing else is black/white, so it's probably a bug.
