Yesterday, April 2nd, Sony released firmware 2.70 for the PlayStation 3. The latest firmware update includes the long awaited text chat that allows PlayStation 3 users to communicate with up to 15 online friends and/or three chat rooms at once. Players also have the ability to continue their chat while they're playing a game.Some of the other features in firmware 2.70 include the option to sort your friends by online status and a larger attachment size cap from 1MB to 3MB. Sony has also included the ability to back up videos that have been purchased from the PlayStation Store to an external drive. Additionally, videos that have been purchased on the PlayStation Portable (PSP) can now be transferred to PlayStation 3 for playback.
The following is a video demonstration of firmware 2.70 by Eric Lempel, Director of PlayStation Network Operations.
I think your requests are better served by simply installing Linux on your PS3. The possibilities at that point are virtually limitless.
Only had a few issues with mkv's with DTS sound, once I figured that out its great! the only problem is streaming 1080p over wireless is a no no, and have to transfer to disk which is a slow process.
Or why not have support for both FLAC & WMA Lossless and have the best of both worlds.
Ya I can convert my files, but then I have two HD movies that are 13gb's EACH... One in original mkv with 5.1 surround, and the other in another container of my choosing with only 2 channel.... There suppose to officially support Divx, well Divx 7 supports mkv, whats up Sony?? [sigh]
and mkv2vob doesn't exist in the linux world, but i would have to pick and choose the types of information to drop if I did use it anyway... not really an all encompassing solution
