PS3 - Firmware Update Now Available
Sony has released a new firmware update today, bringing the version numbers up to 1.7. For the moment the update is only available directly through the PS3´s System Update feature- the Sony sites should have the update available for download via the PC later today.
Highlights of this update includes the ability to play the downloadable PSOne Classics games (available in the PlayStation Store in most regions) on the PS3, the ability to use PlayStation format saves on the PSP (handy if you have a save from an older game you re-bought for portable play) and enabling vibration function on PS2 and PSOne accessories. The full list of added features will be reported here once it is available. Unfortunately the ability to actually play those PSOne downloadables will not be available until sometime in May, according to SCEA manager Al de Leon when talking to IGN, as the games will have to be prepped a bit to allow the play on the PS3. Some games will still be PSP- only. No mention of any titles.
In a related note, the firmware for the PlayStation Portable also received an upgrade today, bringing it up to version 3.4. Details on that will also be reported when ready.
