PlayStation 3 firmware 2.10 now live

Sony PlayStation 3 - Image 1

Good news, Sony PlayStation 3 owners! The highly-anticipated firmware for your Cell Processor-powered consoles of next-gen awesome has finally gone live, and is now available for download.

For those of us new to this firmware-related malarkey (or if you haven't been keeping up with the news much), then you'll be glad to know that PS3 firmware 2.10 sports a Voice Changer feature that lets you change the tone of a voice that's fed from an input audio device, like a microphone. And yes, it does let you mess with your voice on the fly, even while using voice or video chat.

Audio and video playback have also been improved with this new release, and you would do well to check out the complete changelog in the previous article. The update gives your PS3 support for DivX and VC-1 (WMV) formats. FW 2.10 also bumps up your Blu-ray status to Profile v1.1, which will eventually pave the way for web-enabled Blu-ray content.

Now get to downloading!

I just watched fist of the north star and that worked... the ps3 has some problems with some media that is'nt named correctly, it does'nt like spaces in names although sometimes it does'nt matter.. odd. It seems like it does'nt matter what you name it, all that matters is what name it had originally ( when it was made ) or so it seems. Sony should fix that it's annoying.

I went to joox.com ( a stage6 site ) and downloaded a .divx file and it played fine.

awesome stuff.. why was'nt mentioned in the chagelog?

# 13 seconds only? — ssj92 2007-12-17 19:39

i always download my Naruto Shippuden episodes from dattebayo. basically the video shows up on my ps3 as full 175mb but when i play it , its on the first 13 seconds! any1 else getting a problem like this? i tried changing the filename but no success.

# visualisation... — TurboRob 2007-12-17 19:39

Yeah , lol .. but then we should expect this... coz if ya think about it most of the time after a firmware update ... there's apost titled " Hidden Changed in X.XX Firmware". So there should be a few more finds later on 2night!!

# ... — L0d1z 2007-12-17 19:43

I have no idea, sorry mate. I wonder why the support is so limited?

they really should fix the name bug

# ps3 — Dave 2007-12-17 20:31

I have 2 PS3's updating to 2.10 now, w00t.

# ... — DVSDevise 2007-12-17 21:42

xvid isn't supported

# haha!!! cool!!! — Quixand 2007-12-17 21:48

they've got some some visualization!! !!

a freakin rotation earth!!!! it's pretty mean if you've got a hi-def tv trust me...

go to music... play something, then press square.... i uses to use that abstract thing but now i'm loving Mother Earth!!!!

# maybe ps3 version difference? — Koolaidsred1 2007-12-18 00:07

Well it seems some ps3's can play the videos and some cant maybe this has to do with what version you have? All my avi files and divx files have worked great for me so far and I'm using an original 60 gb.

# So... — OnimushaGTA 2007-12-18 00:21

So does it work ? cause i waiting for homebrew on the PS3 before updating so , keep me posted

# Why wait... — TracerTong 2007-12-18 00:31

The PS3 hasn't been cracked yet, also no version of the FW is 'safe' to stay at like the PSP and 1.5

I'd just update your PS3 and wait. It's all you can do for now.

I'm doing mine when I get in from work tonight

# Why Qj didn't talk about divx/wma compatibility? — platon 2007-12-18 01:39

Anyway, divx is a GREAT thing to add, I'll make full use of that (yes, no more converting for my movies :D)

# Yeah... — Karuto 2007-12-18 05:16

Especially with the fact that only over a year from when it was first released, you're seeing custom firmware for the PSP released days after the official firmware. I wouldn't be surprised to see the PS3 doing the same thing.

I'm waiting until I get a BluRay burner before I consider waiting to update. +]

# just update — Koolaidsred1 2007-12-18 06:15

Believe me just start updating. IF/WHEN it ever gets hacked it will be far from now and they will most likely try to find a hole in a newer firmware rather then a firmware that nobody has. Its like now the 360 can run Linux on 1 of there really old firmwares but i can guarantee you no more then 1 person(the person who developed it) is using it. Same with the ps3 ust update and I'm sure when they find a hole in the firmware they will crack ti before Sony releases another update.

# Ugh... — Karuto 2007-12-18 07:11

None of mine seem to work, and I used my iPod to try a divx video. I used TVersity, and the same video worked. I don't know what the problem is. I keep getting an error (80028801), which means there's an error with the format of the video. TVersity contradicts that statement. I'm upset. :(

# PSN — Dark246 2007-12-18 08:03

I updated and everything is all good except now i cant log into the Playstation network

# 2gb? — rebeli0s 2007-12-18 08:32

so i was just looking at the official manual for the ps3, and it states that the divx and wmv players only support videos less than 2gb, im wondering how they can think this is sufficient for someone who wants to watch hi quality movies that are 3 gigs each

# PSN Working — Dark246 2007-12-18 10:36

Nevermind, the PSN is now working

# Woah looks nice! — Eclipze_ 2007-12-18 11:13

But I wish it was like the PSP, when you click the PS button it would stay in the background instead of going back to your wallpaper.

# Did you notice... — theaceoffire 2007-12-18 11:43

If you organize your videos/games into albums by pressing square, the icons continue to animate now? They fixed it since the previous firmware. Before, my movies and games were static when I organized them (annoying).

# They did — Eclipze_ 2007-12-18 13:06

Talk about it

# divx is working for me — Eclipze_ 2007-12-19 01:26

go to joox.net and you can find and download stuff there.

While its downloading tho you cant go into chats or do anything because it'll stop the download for some reason, so do it at night or somthing when your not doing anything. But once you got it downloaded it works and looks great.

# works — Datnizzle 2007-12-19 14:06

It plays my DVD's with 5-6 "backed-up" movies. And with Nero home I can now ff and rr all those movies on my pc harddrive, with no conversion at all.

# anyone help here?? — the by 2007-12-27 09:12

i cant get my downloaded psp games to play with the remote play feature!!! i start it and then an error comes up saying there was an problem starting the ps1 game!! any ideas??

# Same here — Canis Lupus 2007-12-28 15:05

....same issue...I guess we have to wait for a firmware update
