v2.50 FIRMWARE UPDATE FOR PS3 ...... SOON  ;D

QUOTE:
The latest features/enhancements include:

    * Support for the PS3 Official Bluetooth Headset - we’ve told you about the upcoming Bluetooth Headset and SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation Bundle on the Blog. This latest firmware installment enables High-Quality (HQ) mode, which delivers clear and wide-band online voice chat. On top of that, an added on-screen indicator shows battery status, volume level and use of HQ mode.

    * PlayStation Trophies interface enhancements - I know that many of you are busy collecting trophies and raising your PlayStation Trophy level. This update makes sharing and comparing your trophies with your friends even easier. On 1st part of the profile page you’ll see a symbol under level that represents level and the actual percentage towards the next level along with the existing level meter. The level symbol carries over to the trophy comparison screen where you will now be able to see your level, your friend’s level and the percentage towards the next level for both users along with all of the game by game comparison information you see today.

    * Friend status – Offline friends on your Friends list will have information below their avatars that will indicate how long it has been since they were last online.

    * Video – This update adds the Scene Search feature similar to the feature on the PSP. Activating this feature while viewing a video on the PS3 will break the video up into scenes that you can quickly access by pressing the X button. You can break the videos into one, two or five minute intervals. In addition, you can now choose to have all of the videos under the video section of the XMB play in sequence. Go to Settings then Video Settings to turn this option on.

    * PlayStation Store – We’ve added a redeem codes option right on the store to make it easier to redeem your PlayStation Network Cards and promotion codes. In addition, PlayStation Network Sign Up and Account Management have been redesigned.

    * Power Save Settings – You can now set your PS3 and wireless controllers to turn off automatically after set periods of inactivity. Go to Settings then Power Save Settings to turn on these features.

    * Background Downloading - You now have the option to set the PS3 to turn off automatically after a background download or installation of content has completed. This option is available when you turn off the system from the button under [Users] while content is being downloaded or installed.

    * In-game Screenshots - this tool will allow everyone to capture, share and in other words, immortalize their favorite gameplay moments. This will be supported on a game by game basis. Please check back to find out which games will support this feature.

you wont be able to experience the full sound capability the bluray movie can give you (dolby digital, dts, or even lossless sound). lalabas sya in stereo lang pag sa tv, and tv speakers are usually small in size, kaya hindi rin masyadong maganda yung sound kaysa sa may set-up na 5.1 speakers.

Sony details PS3 firmware 2.50 upgrades: DivX VOD support, AV tweaks

Sony didn't want to make a big deal about this (so humble, that Sony) but the PlayStation 3's recent 2.50 firmware update has a few extra additions aimed straight at home theater buffs. First up is a place to enter your DivX VOD Registration code -- necessary if you want to get any of that Sony Pictures or Warner Bros. DivX-encoded video that's on the way -- along with new Sequential Playback and 50Hz video output settings, plus support for chroma upsampling & Mosquito Noise Reduction video enhancement on homemade Blu-ray discs and DVDs. On a more minor note, the BD/DVD settings section has been renamed just Video Settings, while the Cinema Conversion and Upscale options are getting all their mail delivered to BD/DVD Cinema Conversion and BD/DVD Upscaler, respectively. Peep the PlayStation site for the rest of the exciting details (there's a German keyboard layout change that is not to be missed), and then go back to watching Hulu in a tiny box with a poor framerate in your newly Flash-enabled browser.

pero pwede siyang kabitan ng 5.1 na speaker?

this 80gb ps3 replaces the 40gb ps3. the 40gb version will now be end of manufacture and this new 80gb version will not have the ps2 game back compatibility and the card reader AFAIK. more like the 40gb version only with 80gb capacity hdd. maybe now is the time for me to buy the PS3.

actually its old news na....

Good thing I was able to find a 60GB US like 6 months ago. Having Backward compatibility really is not important anymore especially if we already have a PS2

According to the official PlayStation blog the 2.5.2 update doesn't do too much besides improving the playback quality of some PS3 format software and fixing a text entry issue that occurred when using the on-screen keyboard, USB keyboard or Bluetooth keyboard with some PS3 format software.
kahit pala di ko muna upgrade ok lang pala... sa sunod na lang siguro ulit

True, hoping that they will include an option for bypassing this on the future updates. Hassle din minsan mag-download sa net much more pag system update ginamit mo . . . almost 1hr. sa 1mbps. di pa pwede i-cancel kasi baka ma-brick ang PS3.

I also do and whats the difference?  . . . I still have to wait for it to finish downloading, transfer my usb drive or cd to PS3 and install before I can sign-in and connect to PSN >:(

And it happens everytime I want to use and enjoy it at once.  :P
