There’s new PlayStation 3 firmware coming down the internets. While the opportunity to restart your PS3 is often reward enough, firmware 2.80 brings with it this: “The playback quality of some PLAYSTATION 3 format software has been improved.” Sweet! [PlayStation.blog]

Another lack-luster update from Sony.
Why not include a better looking video file playback interface (like the media player on XBox 360)? Or something worthwhile
ugh

Why should their firmware updates be something outrageous?

Wednesday, June 24, 2009 at 5:47 PM@Kav Agreed. It’s a firmware update.
New features are better off as separate downloads so you can choose to have it or not. Like the recent addition of vidzone (great app with a confusing interface). I can’t wait for PlayTV.
Keep the features and apps coming, just not as part of the firmware.
As for the firmware I’d like to see them add more codec support and a better way to browse through music and video. XMB isn’t very good for really long lists.
