As promised, Sony has released their latest PlayStation 3 Firmware version this week. Firmware v2.20, now live, provides the much requested profile 2.0 (BD-Live) functionality, which allows the ability to connect to the Internet while playing Blu-ray movies that support BD-Live to obtain additional content and special features.
Other new features/enhancements that will be included in Firmware v2.20:
- The ability to copy PS3 Music and Photo playlists to a PSP system.
- You can now play DivX and WMV format files that are over 2 GB. Resume Play - begin playing a DVD or BD disc from the point where you previously stopped it, even if you eject the disc and insert a different movie or game.
- Use your PSP as a remote control to play back your music files on your PS3 without turning on your TV.
- The Internet browser now displays some web pages faster. In addition [Save Target] has been added as an option under file. This option lets you save a file that is linked to a web page to your PS3 hard drive or storage media.
The update will download automatically upon logging into the PlayStation Network. A direct download and details will be made available also at the official update site: http://www.us.playstation.com/PS3/About/SystemUpdate
