Playstation 3 Gets Blu-ray Profile 2.1

 

Ready for a Playstation Christmas update? Well, according to Gizmodo, a UK-Playstation website reported that the PS3 firmware 2.1 could hit tomorrow. What's in it for you, dear PS3 fans? First off, the PS3 Blu-ray player gets an upgrade and will now be Blu-ray Profile 1.1 certified. This means that picture-in-picture will now work on the PS3.

Support for DivX is also added but with some limitations. File size is limited to 2GB and files made with DivX 3.11 or earlier won't be compatible with the PS3 as well as copyrighted files.

The Playsation-UK link published by Gizmodo does not seem to work at the moment. An unwanted leak rapidly removed by Sony? Let's see tomorrow!

UPDATE: Update 2.1 was finally released with all the aforementioned features. Enjoy!
