The Mysterious PS3 Firmware Update
The internet is abuzz this morning with tales of a new firmware update for the PS3. Version 1.92 arrived sometime late last night without anything to let users know what the update actually does. Members of various forums including users on the US Playstation Boards have been working tirelessly through the night to discover the answer to the mystery. So far the list of features that users have discovered on their own are these:
- Ability to add Flash wallpapers
- Seemingly faster XMB load times
- XMB screensaver option (which was there prior to this but just became popular because of this)
- Improvements on Internet Browser application
- Auto power off for the controllers
- Thumbnails in the video section
- Synchronized game clips in the games folder load up
- Faster transition from game to XMB
- Updated PSOne/PS2 controller compatibility
While the Japanese Playstation website has been updated to include the changes in 1.92, but he translations are shaky at best. There is still no information available on the US Playstation site, but I will update this article as soon as the official word comes in so be sure to check back!
