PS3 Firmware 2.20 Released

Posted by greg on March 24, 2008

Update: By now you already know what it’s all about…

  • You can now play discs that support Blu-ray Disc Profile 2.0 (BD-LIVE). You can connect to the Internet while playing discs that support this format so that you can obtain additional features. Features that are available vary depending on the software in use.
  • You can now copy playlists that you create in photo (Photo) and music (Music) to a PSP® system.
  • The way you register (pair) Bluetooth® devices has changed, and you can now register more devices.
  • A [BD Internet Connection] setting has been added under [BD/DVD Settings].
  • An [Audio Output Device] setting has been added under [Remote Play Settings].
  • You can now display an image while editing a playlist.
  • You can now play a music track while editing a playlist.
  • You can now play DivX and WMV files that are 2 GB or larger.
  • You can now display subtitles when playing DivX files.
  • You can now resume playing a DVD from the point where you previously stopped it.
  • A [Mosquito Noise Reduction] option has been added under [AV Settings] in the control panel for standard DVDs.
  • You can now play BD-R version 1.2 (LTH* BD-R) discs.
  • LTH, or low to high, is a recording method that supports organic dye, write-once BD-R media.
  • You can now change some PS3™ system settings during remote play.
  • [Save Target] has been added as an option under [File] in the browse mode menu of the Internet browser. This option lets you save a file that is linked from a Web page, such as an image or video file, or other type of file, to your PS3™ system’s hard disk drive or storage media.
  • The Internet browser now displays some Web pages faster.
  • Using the Internet browser, you can now play a linked video file* as it is being downloaded.
  • Some types of video files cannot be viewed in this manner and must be downloaded completely before playback.

Sadly, no in-game XMB access.


Sony has released PS3 firmware 2.20. Grab it now via System Update. I’ll report back in a few…

The New Update includes:

# 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.

Everyone stop complaining. If you want a HUGE update then get a shitbox360 and you’ll get 2 updates a year. So it will seem like you’re getting more. I’ll stick to my frequent updates.

Fuckin bitches.

who’s the bitch here you fuckface, i have both systems and you are a sucker PS3 is NOT better then 360 the games are NOT like 40 GB on PS3 just 7 GB like 360 so whats the big fucking deal??? 360 has in game music and a bigger ram so it remembers when you stopped a movie even 2 or 3 movies it remembers!!
PS3 is just a cheap blu-ray player guys don’t you get the scam Sony played to get blu-ray in the livin room. Fuck Sony!!!!!

lol i don’t understand the bitchyness of ps3 owners. maybe its cause they got ripped off. the xbox 360 hardware may not be the most reliable but microsoft is losing plenty of money over it so im happy

 
Comment by LastmanOut
2008-03-27 22:10:51

Microsoft loses money every day and every second. If that makes your happy just do a search on any torrent site and you’ll see any Microsoft software you want on there.

If you’re so inclined you could leave you’re computer on 24/7 downloading it and it wouldn’t cost you a cent if you’re not paying the electricity bill. I would bet you’re computer is more stable then your xbox360. Leave a computer running for 24 hours or something no problem, leave an xbox360 running for 24 hours and hope after that it’s not burned to a crisp.

That brings an interesting point up, what’s the longest continuous session of gaming you’ve done on an xbox360? You would think that the longer you play the faster the heatsink and fans would wear out or the board would fry from the heat.

The RAM-Memory of the PS3 and the other console (forgot the name, oh wait it was shitbox 360) are the same.
And I think you forgot that RAM is deleted when there’s no power. OWND dude!

Comment by bobey49
2008-03-27 18:12:57

The 60gb PS3 had an backup ram from the ps2 hardware Emulation I think it was 128 of ram that was to help with the ps3 game If the 512 got jammed up but they dropped it because of the newer ps3 don’t have this capability and it cost to much To produce the 60gb PS3 it very hard information to come by it like well forgotten

This update aint too bad, atleast they support being able to play vids over 2gb and with subtitle support, as well as the resume play which is pretty good. I don’t have a PSP, so couldn’t care less.

Plz don’t complain like little bitches and appreciate what you get sony has already said they will be releasing an update that includes in game XMB and music but you must understand it takes time to develop features that they did not foresee while they were making the system now relax and stop complaining about a useless feature when there are many great features that have been released.

Comment by bobey49

The PS3 and PSP are base on the PSX that never came to the US The PSX was a dvd recorder dvd player that can play PS2 game I think you also can record tv show it had a built in hard drive It was the first Sony system to have the XMB menu setup

Comment by ppp
2008-03-25 04:17:07

Yeah, it was Japan only I think (Wikipedia will know) I really wanted one.
I mean a console that burns discs would be awesome.

Comment by LastmanOut
2008-03-25 13:59:30

Yeah except it costs an arm and a leg to get one on ebay, (think PS3 after launch - $600 plus I’ve seen them for) and from some reports it seems no one can break or change the damn thing. Unable to make it display in english, only in japanese cause it wasn’t released anywhere else because it didn’t sell that well so it was cancelled. The best part of it I think was it’s ability to create dvd’s and to act as a pvr as well.

The PS3 and PSP are using the XMB interface that was first introuduced in the PSX/PS2, that’s all.

Why the hell do people who like the 360 have to go on about its a better system etc? and in all honesty it isnt, thats why microsoft are planning to release another console in a few years time cause they know it cant compete. So what 360 got loads of games whoopeee most are crap lol I know ive got a 360 and ps3 and atm im on dead rising never get sick of that game lol but if it was on ps3 the 360 would be sold. All im saying is at least sony are releasing updates people would soon winj on if they didnt release anything. In my closing comments i would just like to say stop crying on like a baby :) this comment isnt aimed at anyone in particular just to the cry babies in general.

For everyone else have a good day :D

Well, Xbox 360 has the games, and an amazing online community, but, i refuse to pay to play online.
The Wii is a joke, a gamecube with a motion sensitive controller, last gens tech in a new cover.
But the PS3+PSP, will be, when sony finally get there finger out and release HOME, the exact thing that mr billy gates wanted the Xbox 360 to be, the center of my home entertainment experiences, blue ray player, social area, PVR, and look, new harddisk from local store 4x the size of MSs 120GB xbox drive for a third the price.
I am not a fanboy, but sony are at least treating there consumers as adults, and i commend that.

who cares about ingame xmb if it was last gen u wouldnt even get updates so deal with it and stop complaining in game wont come until home is released whenever that comes and people saying the 360 is hd to ITS NOT IT UPSCALES which is the same as a dvd upscales it takes the original resolution and upscales it and if a 360 is so much better than go fuckin by one i did and it was a waste of money in my opinion u play to play online and even thier live fucks up on you and the systems louder than my damn car when i start it up and its running. not to mention it scratches the shit out of your games. i dont understand why people keep givin into microsoft when all they care about is taking the consumers money… I hope apple makes a video game console!

Just updated to 2.20. DivX subtitle works but not with separate .srt file. You must remux the divx and srt files with Sub2DivX. To enable the subtitle, press triangle button while playing back the divx and choose the subtitle option.

Sub2DviX link:

Comment by Hobo
2008-03-25 13:35:00

Another fairly un-exciting update, the Divx file size and subtitle fixes are nice, but I’m more concerned with the random incompatibility of some files when they were created with the same app, using the same codec etc etc, I have all of my movies on my pc as avi files, so when they first made Divx compatible a few updates ago, I was ecstatic, but after trying 20-odd files to have 13 say unsupported data, I wasn’t so happy :/

Wait, if you have to remux the divx, ain’t that gonna take a long time, like re-rendering the subs within the vid?
