After releasing the latest PSP official firmware 5.03 yesterday, Sony is rolling in with the punches. They've just announced that the PS3 will be getting its very own FW update (v2.60) soon. No specific date yet, but we do have a changelog! Check the full article for a guided tour of FW 2.60's features.

A recent interview with DivX founder Jérôme Vashist-Rota reveals the certain console domination bids for the video technology landing on the PS3 and Xbox 360. While the PS3 is currently in compliance with DivX standards, Microsoft's Xbox 360 is leaving the codec technology out in the cold. Will the two ever mix?

So you have iR Shell and other shell applications for the PSP. And more recently, we scrounged up that oh-so-cool Mac OS X Shell too. But what of Windows fans?

A new version of ZodTTD's vlc4iphone (it also works on iPod Touch) is now out, bumping up the app to v0.9.8 Beta.

Okay, so maybe the wait for multi-capable video playback on your Wii is taking a lot longer than you could take. Luckily the homebrew community around the Nintendo Wii has enough projects going around to provide enough of a selection for homebrew users out there. For media players, we've seen DragonMedia Player and GeeXboX, but did you know there's something out there for video buffs who don't want to go through Linux? Take for instance, rOn's MPlayerWii.

Sony pulled a fast one, we tell you. But not fast enough that people couldn't catch the news before it became reality. The games division of the consumer electronics corporation has announced in the official PlayStation Blogs that PSP owners will be prompted to update to firmware 4.01 in a few hours time. Somehow, the new quick update is only focused on the new features that PSP firmware 4.00 added to the handheld. More at the full story, but this won't rock your world.

*UPDATE*: It's out. And it's apparently what Sony says it is.

Developer ZodTTD has decided to rename ZodPlay back to vlc4iphone, further adding some extensive new upgrades to this homebrew media player for the iPhone and iPod Touch. More details regarding the name change and improvements are available in the full article.
