PS3 Firmware 2.50 adds Flash 9 support

 

Eurogamer has been sniffing around the PlayStation 3 firmware update Sony promised yesterday, and has come up with another feature to add to the list - Flash 9 support for the console browser.

 

This will markedly boost the browser's compatibility with many of the (wait for it) flashier sites out there.

 

Among the tastier additions to this firmware update are improved Bluetooth headset support, an enhanced Trophy interface that shows your percentage completion of each Trophy level, and an in-game screenshot grabber.

 

There's no word yet on when this little lot will go live, but we'll keep you updated on any developments as soon as they become available.

In-game Screenshots - this tool will allow everyone to capture, share and in other words, immortalize their favorite gameplay moments. This will be supported on a game by game basis. Please check back to find out which games will support this feature.

nice...but why on a game by game basis? just make it an option in the XMB

Announcing PS3 v2.50 and PSP v5.00 System Software Updates.

 

The next system software updates for both the PLAYSTATION 3 and PSP will be available tomorrow! Here's a quick rundown of the great new features that we'll be able to enjoy from 15 October 2008:

 

PS3 System Software version 2.50

 

* Improved Official Bluetooth Headset wireless headset support, including an on-screen indicator that shows volume, battery charge, and mute functions.

* Bluetooth Headset Wireless headset High Quality (HQ) mode, which utilises advanced wireless technologies and the headset's dual-microphone design to enable clear and wide-band wireless voice communication with PS3 system.

* An in-game screenshot capture tool - titles that support the feature will be announced in the future.

* PS3 Trophies user interface enhancement - When players acquire a Trophy, the in-game notification will now include the specific Trophy icon created by the developer, while more intuitive options for comparing Trophies with friends have been added, including an icon to represent each Trophy level.

* Video – Video scene search functionality will provide thumbnails to help you find a particular scene in a video more easily.

* Information Board – The Information Board will be able to include direct links to PlayStation Store, making it easier for PS3 owners to download content that they read about on the Information Board.

* Power save – PS3 owners will have the option to automatically shut-off their console or controllers after pre-selected periods of inactivity.

* Flash 9 content becomes supported on the Internet Browser.

 

PSP System Software version 5.00

 

 

 

* Direct PlayStation Store access to the system - PSP owners will be able to download games, demos, trailers, and other game-related content anytime and anywhere that their PSP is connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi - no PC or PS3 required.

 

 

 

* On-screen keyboard – A full-size, on-screen keyboard will be added to make text entry during Web browsing easier and more convenient.

 

 

 

* Sleep timer – During music playback, a sleep timer will enable users to shut off their PSP after a specified amount of time.

 

 

 

 

 

* Video-out – The PSP-2000’s video-out feature will be able to display PlayStation format software (classics titles) at the full-screen size of the TV that the PSP is connected to; the feature will also support interlace displays.

I do use PS3 browser for bollywood sites and downloading wallpapers directly into the PS3. And after google search integration into PS3, frequency of use has increased.

 

Browing(just surfing) on 32" LCD > 14" laptop.

 

HSP, which google integration r u talking about? Something like firefox? I dont see it in the browser. Secondly, don't u get surfing speeds much lesser on the ps3 than on a comp. Plus with all the texting and zooming involved, you would really prefer to use the ps3?
