New PS3 and PSP Firmware Released: PS3 Gets DivX, PSP Gains Internet Radio

I would be extremely happy about this if my 360 didn't get it a week or two ago. I've been waiting forever to get the old XBOX with XBMC out from under my TV.

Microsoft really stole this one.

Warning the new WMV VC1 support is preety much useless.. why read further below..

* DivX and VC-1 (WMV) have been added to the types of files that can be played. * (VC-1 2.0 audio track only)
* Blu-ray Disc Profile 1.1 is now supported. **
* [BD Data Utility] has been added. ***

*
- To play VC-1 (WMV) format files, you must go to Settings > [System Settings] and set [Enable WMA Playback].
- Copyright-protected files or files that were encoded by using DivX 3.11 cannot be played. - Files that are 2GB or more cannot be played.
** You may now be able to use several additional features such as playback of two videos at the same time with Profile 1.1-compatible Blu-ray Discs. The available features vary depending on the disc.
*** The management data that is used by the Blu-ray Disc is saved.

So its 2 reasons that blows,

A, Audio on VC1 movies is limited to 2.0, thanks ever heard of 5.1, 6.0 and up ? weird sony..

B, File size limit is 2gb, most high def movies are from 4 to 10gb.. so thanks for nothing sony.. The divx support i could care less about i watch them on my computer i doubt they wil look better on ps3 someshow..

The Playstation has some pretty worthless updates.. How about some real friend and chat integration.. Maybe that would better for a "Game Console" and not worry about Divx and radio play.. I understand it may be important to some users, but why not concentrate on the features that will help with gaming.

Anyone with a PSP give a run down for how good the internet radio thing is? I'd assume you'd have to be at a wifi hotspot, but 99% of the time I am anyways (assuming I can get it to run on my college's wifi).

I've been eyeing up the PSP, and with Crisis Core and God of War, it looks like a good time to get one. Having solid internet radio would sweeten the deal.

Hmmm that link didn't help to much, what kind of internet radio we talking about here? is it some proprietary crap or do we get some real options?

Using WMP11 to stream xvid files worked great - I had previously configured it for the 360, and I didn't have to change a thing. Nice update.

Can you copy movies to the 360 hard drive yet?
