PS3 Firmware 2.20 Arrives

I downloaded this late last night, but didn’t have time to really mess with it. But these are the new features. Glad to see they improved the browser, I’ll have to test that out. The first BD-Live movies (The 6th Day and Walk Hard) will hit stores April 8th.

* BD-Live functionality

* The ability to copy PS3 Music and Photo playlists to a PSP system. We introduced the ability to create Music and Photo playlists on the PS3 in firmware update v2.0. Now you can easily export your playlists to your PSP.

* You can now play DivX and WMV format files that are over 2 GB. In addition, you can now display subtitles when viewing DivX files.

* 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.

Firmware v2.20 bringing BD-Live to PS3

    There are two BD-Live movies out: War, and Saw IV. The two movies scheduled April 8 are Sony Pictures’ first BD-Live movies, the other two are from Lionsgate

    Hm. Using the PSP as a remote control sounds cool. Now if only the PS3 would see network shares instead of having to use DLNA…

  3. Segitz Says:

    I have Twonky running on my NAS (Linkstation Live)…

    But, I don’t want to buy it, so I am gonna settle with ushare or mediatomb next…

    But now, going to play Crisis Core :D
