BD live: if u have a bluray movie it can connect to a kind of homepage for the movie where they can put up for example a trailer for a sequel thats exclusive for those who own the movie, or some interactive stuff.

Enhanced remoteplay: u can use youre psp as a control to play youre music on youre ps3.

Web enhancement: The web pages will load a little faster and you can save images and videoclip you find on the web.

And there where some more stuff there, divx now supports subtitles.

wulan6626d ago

i am waiting for 8th april to get my hands on the 1st BD LIVE enabled blu ray disc

Torch6626d ago (Edited 6626d ago )

for me is that now ALL my Divx & Xvid files now play flawlessly on the system.

Before last night, I was required to re-encode otherwise-fine video files to AVC or Divx, way too often.

Funny thing is that this critical tweak wasn't even mentioned (not unlike Sony to do so...those sly dogs!)

Awesome update!!!

BTW: Regarding the internet browser, am I the only one who can't log-on to their N4G account via their PS3? Strange that I have no problem doing so with my PSP.

6wl6626d ago

Still looks like you cannot stream > 4 gig Mp4 files (also tried burning one to a DVD).

For me, this firmware is complete rubbish.

kornbeaner6626d ago

I can't log into N4G via PS3 either, weird thing is I can log into badjoystick via PS3, but then I get logged off as soon as I come onto N4G.

Bazookajoe_836626d ago (Edited 6626d ago )

Have they enhanced the encoder to? that would be really great, i hate that it only take "took" like two third of the movies..

I havent tried going to n4g on my ps3, but it works flawless on my psp.

Bazookajoe_836626d ago

I think it could be really cool if it´s done right =)

Torch6626d ago

To be honest, I haven't had the chance yet to sit through an entire movie; I just threw a whole slew of previously-non-functioning streamed files via TVersity.

Everyone played without a hitch...although I did notice that one of them took a few extra seconds to "wind-up", but that could've been latency on the PC side.

@lovedaddy
Sorry you feel that way; I haven't yet had the need to play 4Gig files.

I don't know about it being 'rubbish', but that should definitely get addressed...and it quite likely will in a future update. I remember not being able to play the Dolby 5.1 from my AVC-HD camcorder files...pissed me off.

And then, one day, voila!...Full 5.1 audio!

Mikelarry6626d ago

u aint i as well cant sign in n4g. i just wanna know why sony instead of making a web browser of thier own they just didnt join with one of this web browser company to provide an even better web browser

fenderputty6626d ago

The browser is a little quirky to say the least but, they do manage to keep improving it. They need to make the thing compatible with newer flash files. I am glad I can save links to my HD though. This is nice. If they manage to fix all these issues, I would almost never use my PC to surf the web again.

chaosatom3336626d ago

that they can add flash or something for videos?

arakouftaian6626d ago

its true we cant still log in from the ps3 2 g4t to coment but when i visit gametrailets and put 2 download a video( becuz whit the ps3 cant wach a video from gt) its show up the video on play at teh same time its downloading so i dotn need 2 wait untill the download is done i could wach it at teh same time is downloading it. and that a cool new feature!!!!

eagle216626d ago

I like the buffering, save target, also youtube is even faster (and it was always lag free to begin with). This update was also lightning fast for me to download. Every step was completed in 4 minutes and 23 seconds. Usually it takes about 6-7 minutes for me. Thanx Sony. Love this update.

gw4k6626d ago

Sony, Give us something good. It is a game machine for gods sake.

Games first, then movies.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle17d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7717d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde24d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy25d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12524d ago (Edited 24d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga26d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit25d ago (Edited 25d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199225d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga25d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac25d ago (Edited 25d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman25d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger25d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box26d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion25d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7226d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7525d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit25d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14926d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7726d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
