PS3 firmware update - welcome to 2.20

Latest news from PS3 HQ reveals details of the next system firmware update on the way. This one is mostly Blu-ray orientated with the upgrade to support BD-Live (or Blu-ray 2.0 as it’s otherwise known). What does this mean? Well, the new content benefits will soon be available via everyone’s favourite console: DLC video content, ring tones, interactive movie-based games and more. Hit the jump for more 2.20 goodness.

Information posted over on Engadget reports a bunch of other audio visual improvements on the way in “late March” with the rather useful addition of being able to copy photos and music playlists onto your PSP via USB. The rest are as follows: 

–”Resume play” will enable PS3 system to start playing a Blu-ray disc
and DVD at the point it was stopped, even if the disc had been
removed.(*1)
– “Audio Output Device” will be a new Remote Play setting, enabling PSP
to serve as a remote control for music played through PS3.
– PS3 system’s Internet browser will be enhanced: Video files directly
linked from a Web page will be able to be streamed, and the browser’s
view speed will be improved.
– DivX and WMV format videos that are larger than 2GB will be playable.
– “Mosquito Noise Reduction” will be added as an AV setting in the
control panel of the DVD/BD player for improved movie playback.(*2)

*1 BD-J format disc is not supported.
*2 BD discs recorded with BDMV format are not supported.
