Hidden features in PS3 firmware 2.0 |
Ó
Austrian website Starseven has uncovered a few more features of the recently-released PlayStation 3 firmware 2.0 that didn't quite get included in the official Sony press releases. Here they are:- Trailers can be streamed during download from the PlayStation Store
- Faster loading times for the Internet Browser and PlayStation Store
- Demos, PS1 games and downloaded games can be sorted in folders
- A new Video-Chat
There's also supposedly a new Flash player update included in firmware 2.0, but reports from those who updated indicate that it may not be included after all. Starseven also lists an untested support feature for Canon printers. Check back here for more updates.

I don't know what they did or what I did but after the ps3 turn on and off alone several times the remote play works more than perfect. About the streaming thing I didn't know it I will try it now and the new chat just looks awsome. The loading times about the browser I don't see the dfference but if they say it it's must be true I guess...
anyone know what they are talking about with new video chat? the current one kinda sucks. seems to have no echo cancellation so when you are using 2 ps eyes to chat (built in mics) you end up with lots of feed back and echoing.
Nice to see continual updates to the PS3. Still waiting on my ingame XMB mainly for custom soundtracks.
Anyone else PS3 randomly turning itself on once remote start is enabled?
nope...
better looking cursors in the store and web browser XD
Just the look of it... It looks pretty cool. everything flows more with this update. the look of ps3 is so sexy compared to xbox
it turns off itself off if you don't connect to it. it's so it doesn't get left on on accident.
