Gamers Evolved

PS3 has finally made the leap to add the now reigning champion – Blu-ray to their consoles. The new firmware version 2.20 is now available and will allow the PS3 to support BD-Live (Blu-ray Profile 2.20) discs. These discs will allow gamers to access some online features and online games.

The new 2.20 firmware adds a few other new features to the PS3, too, mostly in the multimedia department:

- 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 can now display web pages faster. Also the ‘Save Target’ will be added under a file as one of the many options that can allow you save a file that is linked to a web page to the hard drive and/or storage media of the PS3.
