PS3 FW 1.51, now live

Listed in: PS3 Tags: playstation 3 updates, PlayStation Network, Sony

Just a little over a week after we last heard from the company, Sony has released yet another version of its PS3 firmware. This latest update now brings it all up to version 1.51, and according to the System Software Update section of the PlayStation website, this new version contains the following additions:

You can now select an image to use as the User icon from [Photo].
[Key Tone] has been added as an option under [Sound Settings].
[Delete Backup Data] has been added as an option under [System Settings] > [Backup Utility].
WEP 128, WPA-PSK (TKIP) and WPA-PSK (AES) have been added as security methods that can be used with [AOSS] under [Automatic].

If you have already set up for AOSS using an earlier version of the system software, you must perform AOSS setup again to use the security methods listed above.

When [Automatic] is selected, the security method to be used is automatically set.

New for 1.51: Support for PLAYSTATION 3 format software titles has been expanded.
The method for saving your password / signing in automatically under PLAYSTATION Network has been changed. There are now two separate options.
You can now enter text in Korean using the on-screen keyboard.

As of the moment, it's unknown if this new version of the firmware also addresses the problems related to Blu-Ray playback and wireless internet connections, which we reported about a while back. These issues were supposed to have suddenly appeared when PS3 owners updated their console's firmware to 1.50.

This story sucks? This story rocks!

its not for 1.51. if you didnt know by now, Sony always puts their older release notes in addition with the new update notes. the "new for 1.51" part of the summary QJ provided is the only new feature. the image as user icon is part of the 1.50 update

Sony has always done this. This way you can see both the 1.50 and 1.51 updates. same thing with 1.10 and 1.11

and 1.3 and 1.32 etc...

Dear God sony's download site is slow. I tried downloading the update on the ps3 and it was on track to take 45 minutes so i started downloading it from their website instead and its going the same speed. 40KB/s. OMG

# wtf? — Guest 2007-02-02 18:49

hmm it's fast for me... and how do you know that it's downloading at 40KB/s on the PS3???

# . — Guest 2007-02-03 00:32

That's because that's also the list of what 1.50 added.

# Slow slow quick quick slow — Guest 2007-02-03 01:51

# LAGGGGGG — Guest 2007-02-03 10:38

# sony owes me XP — Guest 2007-02-03 14:54

# really? — Guest 2007-02-03 15:47

are you on a WLAN connection. mines on a direct connection and i had the new update downloaded and installed in about 10 minutes

# download speed — Guest 2007-02-05 15:58

Try downloading at offpeak times like 3am or something. I regularly get 6mbit+ from sony. You can't expect to get super bandwidth from them when millions of people are bombarding their servers.
