**UPDATE** Heads up! PS3 Firmware v2.10 tomorrow, DivX, Profile v1.1 confirmed |
Listed in: PS3 Tags: DivX, Europe, Sony, UK, XMB
Ó
For this new firmware update, you'll need 120 MB of free space on your unit. For now it seems we won't see the system go BD-Live yet, but the system is going up to Blu-Ray Profile v1.1 allowing picture-in-picture interactivity for certain Blu-ray discs.
Also, according to the Blu-ray website, the new Voice Changer function will be able to support in-game chat. Hopefully this indicates progress towards in-game access to the XMB.
Here are the reported updates from the UK PlayStation site:
Voice Changer feature:
- You can
change the tone of a voice that is input from an audio device such as a
microphone. High and low-pitched tones can each be adjusted to five
preset levels. You can vary the tone when using voice / video chat
under Friends.
Music
- You can now select [Type 3] as an option under Settings > [Music Settings] > [Bitmapping]. This bitmapping process was developed specifically for the PS3 system to enhance audio playback.
Video
- DivX and VC-1 (WMV) have been added to the types of files that can be played.
- Blu-ray Disc Profile 1.1 is now supported.
- [BD Data Utility] has been added.
Update:
The page that made the firmware update announcement seems to have been been pulled out from the Sony UK website, as well as it's corresponding entry on the Spanish Playstation website, so there is a possibility we won't be able to see the firmware go live tomorrow.
The website said (before it was pulled down), that "an update to the PS3 system software was released on December 18, 2007." The phrasing in the past-tense suggests that there might have been a slip up - as some people now assume, the page probably wasn't meant to go up until the firmware update "was" made available.
We'll have to wait for news from Sony to confirm what happened and what the status is with the firmware. Hopefully, the info stated in the update was accurate and was just posted prematurely. We'll keep you posted on updates as soon as we get them.
Thanks to Mentality and YaMi_SeNsEi for bringing it to our attention!

if you want to double check for yourself, you can see the bluray.com post (we linked to blu-ray's site in the article body). they linked to the same page. and also, the same error. if you check other sites reporting the news, they source the same page too.
strange indeed... thanks for pointing it out, guys!

"The website said (before it was pulled down), that "an update to the PS3 system software was released on December 18, 2007.""
You say it must have been a slip up because it was past tense and probably meant to go up after the FW was released, but did you guys miss something?
Look,
"an update to the PS3 system software was released on December 18, 2007"
Yes it says past tense, "was released on", so yes it is meant to go up after the update goes out... butt... it fully says the date the FW went up!
December 18th, 2007!
Which is tomorrow, so then that little text says that it is supposed to come out tomorrow since in the future they will say it came out on the 18
So it really is comming out tomorrow? Looks that way according to the text.
Only time will tell.

[ Top X360 Exclusive Games ]
* Gears of War (90 points): Graphics! All you do is hide-shoot-hide-shoot-hide-shoot-(repeat this 9999 times more)
* BioShock (85 pts): Graphics & atmosphere! The entire game is only 10 hours long; no big reasons to replay
* Project Gotham Racing 4 (75 pts)
* Forza Motorsport 2 (70 pts): All those various customization is only for lifeless idi+ts
* Halo 3 (80 pts): It has almost same gameplay as the 3 year old Halo 2. Terrible and highly pixelated graphics in close proximity
* Burnout Revenge (70 pts): At first sight it looks fantastic, but once you played it for 1 hour then it gets extremely boring
* Dead or Alive 4 (50 pts)
* Mass Effect (40 pts): Its graphics is even much worse than the 2 year old game, Perfect Dark Zero; Horrible frame rate very frequently; the gun fight is terrible and laughable (just compare with any shooter game)
* Command & Conquer 3 (45 pts)
* Eternal Sonata (20 pts): ROFL
* Saints Row + Prey + Quake 4 (this ‘Joke Value Pack’ includes 3 games: 10+10+10=30 pts): Terrible frame rate all the time (LMAO) and X360 versions have bland graphics (ROFL); the multiplays are jokes, right? (LOL)
* Dead Rising (70 pts)
* Lost Planet (70 pts): If only a few things were right, this deserves 90 pts
* Crackdown (20 pts): Crap down!
* Blue Dragon (90 pts if your mental maturity is ten): or 20pts
[ Top PS3-Lonely (Only) Games ]
* Warhawk (90 pts): Technologically and graphically mind-blowing, because the map is ridiculously huge, ground combat is terrible, but the air combat is groundbreaking; this is the real bomb so far, a lot of X360 fanbots I know are mesmerized by this game
* SingStar (20 pts): Ok, this new PS3 release is lame! The graphics is suitable for PS2 console
* Unreal Tournament 3 (45 pts): Terrific graphics with atmospheric layout; balanced map design, weapons and many more; seriously, the soldiers (characters) move around as fast as the hedgehog, Sonic!!!; really, the moving speed (of ground soldiers) is a joke (this takes all the fun); if the developers reduce the walking (running) speed then this is 10 times better than the similar game called Halo 3.
* Uncharted Drake's Fortune (60 pts): Luscious graphics! but the entire game’s 5 hours long; the gunplay is weak as hell; brain-dead enemies (LOL)
* MotorStorm (80 pts): Top-notch graphics and technological achievement! The maps are too big (if the maps are smaller, then we can see more car versus car actions – this is MotorStorm’s strongest point)
* Heavenly Sword (50 pts): Gorgeous graphics! but the combat sucks a+s; and the whole game’s 6 hours long (and repetitive); no reasons to play again
* Resistance Fall of Man (70 pts): when you look at things closely they are very ugly and highly pixelated; average graphics in general! mindless run & gun garbage
* Ratchet & Clank Future (fantastic! 90pts, if you’re mentally 10 year old): or 30 pts
* Ninja Gaiden Sigma (30 pts): Same as Ninja Gaiden Black (years old!!!)
* Folklore (15 pts)
* Lair (10 pts): LMAO

Quality is quite good though - and the PS3 can skip through DivX files MUCH faster than 360.
Only thing I hate so far is the fact that the PS3 has to read EVERY DivX file on a DVD before you can play a file.
