Wondering when the new firmware update for the PlayStation 3 would be released? Well Sony answered that question today by saying “soon”. The release date might not be exact but the details of firmware 2.70 are. Take a look at some of the updates included.
Friends list on the XMB (XrossMediaBar)
- Sort your friends via their online status
- Attach larger files to the messages you send to your friends (file size will increase from 1MB to 3MB)
Video delivery service on PlayStation Store
- Video files you’ve purchased from the PlayStation Store can be backed up to an external storage device and then restored to PS3’s internal hard drive for playback – so you can clear up space on your hard drive and then restore the video anytime in the future
- Videos you’ve purchased for PSP (PlayStation Portable) system can now be transferred to PS3 for playback
In addition to what is listed above 2.70 will include text chat while playing games using a keyboard. The feature will allow you to chat with up to fifteen people at once over three chat rooms. So with that to look forward to let anticipation build for the release of firmware 2.70.
