PS3 2.60 Update

[Stringent]

The PS3 firmware update (v2.60) is designed primarily to enhance the system’s media capabilities. The key feature is a new Photo Gallery application, which delivers a suite of tools for sorting through and displaying your digital photo collection. Digital pictures can be organized in groups according to various criteria, including the camera used to take the photos, the event date and time, colors in the photos, as well as the number, ages, or facial expressions of the people pictured. You can also create slideshows set to music and build photo playlists with an easy-to-use interface. The Photo Gallery application will need to be installed separately from the XMB after you update your PS3’s firmware. To install the Photo Gallery application, go to the Photo section on the XMB, select Photo Gallery and press the X button.

The 2.60 update also includes:

* Guest access to PlayStation Store – This enables non-PlayStation Network members to browse through the storefront to check out the latest games, demos, videos, etc.
* DivX 3.11 support – Videos in this format can now be played on PS3.

I wish they had fleshed out the audio player. One level down of folders isn't enough and there is no seek or resume.

DivX 3.11?
The 3.11 that was released 9 years ago?

Someone should email them and inform them we are on DivX 7 now.

Yup so now you can finally watch that DivX version of "What women want"

Come on gtech, I've seen you do better than that

And there's me thinking i was going to be really funny for my 1,000th post.

Suppose it's all down hill now.

I wish Sony would start to do more useful things in their updates, this seems like a bit of a pointless update.

There should be some sort of 'new ps3 experience'

What with some sort of cross media bar and 3D avatars? I can never see Sony ever doing that

In addition to the newer versions of Divx it supported already: http://www.n4g.com/News-90587.aspx

Bugger that this rate I will have to sign up for the SDF. I think Shane "Man God" Bettenhausen has finally gotten to me

That link only talks about intention to add it in 2007. It doesn't actually provide anything more about it's actual playback.

From what I can tell, version 2 of the firmware could show DivX files although wouldn't play them. 2.1 onwards added support for DivX, with better playback coming in latter updates. DivX 4,5,6 appear to be supported, but not 7.

3.11 appears to be so people can play back older DivX movies without re-encoding them. 3.11 was nothing more than a hacked Microsoft codec before DivX went commercial.

I would like.

Voice chat/messaging in game, on all games whether in game channel or not.
Move the battery indicator away from the clock.
Native MKV support

[Sinizter]

Wish they added MKV support instead of Divx3

[Bluecube]

Anyone else having problems downloading this? It keeps bombing out on me. Internet connection is perfectly fine so it's not that that's causing the problem.

That's one thing they should stay well clear of, making stupid avatars. The xbox experience with it's avatars is pointless, hate it and would hate it if sony implemented it. The best example of it working is the wii's mii's, a bit of fun with the family having your 6 year old son overtake you on wii fit can be funny, but please let nintendo handle the avatars.

What even "What women want"??
