In order to download PS3 system software version 2.10, you will need a minimum 120Mb of free space on either the PS3 Hard Disk Drive (System Update) or on removable storage media (PC Update).

The Voice Changer feature has been added to voice / video chat. Visit the Voice Changer guide in Help & Support under PS3 at eu.playstation.com for more details.

Using this feature, you can change the tone of a voice that is input from an audio device such as a microphone. High and low-pitched tones can each be adjusted to five preset levels. You can vary the tone when using voice / video chat under Friends.

Other new or revised features in version 2.10

Music

You can now select [Type 3] as an option under Settings > [Music Settings] > [bitmapping]. This bitmapping process was developed specifically for the PS3TM system to enhance audio playback.

Video

DivX and VC-1 (WMV) have been added to the types of files that can be played. *

Blu-ray Disc Profile 1.1 is now supported. **

[bD Data Utility] has been added. ***

*

- To play VC-1 (WMV) format files, you must go to Settings > [system Settings] and set [Enable WMA Playback].

- Copyright-protected files or files that were encoded by using DivX 3.11 cannot be played. - Files that are 2GB or more cannot be played.

** You may now be able to use several additional features such as playback of two videos at the same time with Profile 1.1-compatible Blu-ray Discs. The available features vary depending on the disc.

*** The management data that is used by the Blu-ray Disc is saved.

Note:

This system software update includes all features contained in previous versions.

The new system software will preserve any settings previously made to the PLAYSTATION 3. Depending on the software title, you may not be able to play without first updating the PS3 system software.

Do not perform updates using any data other than the official update data provided by Sony Computer Entertainment over a network or on disc media, and do not perform updates by methods other than those described in the product documentation or in this site. If an update is performed using data from another source, by another method, or with a PS3 system that has been altered or modified in any way, the PS3 system may not operate properly and may not be able to install the official update data. Any of these actions may void the PS3 system warranty and affect your ability to obtain warranty services and repair services from Sony Computer Entertainment.

DivX 3.11 is kinda sad tho :\ and the 2GB file limit too

Good news!

but,

To date, over 100 million DivX Certified? products have been shipped into the market, and it is anticipated PS3 will significantly expand that number.

Strange... we'll need to wait and see!

Also the 360 is in the same boat as the PS3 with DivX 3.11... so if you're stuff plays on your 360, it will play on your PS3!

Also

DivX andVC-1 (WMV)> have been added to the types of files that can be played. *

Used by Blu Ray and HD-DVD. The problem for consoles though is the mkv container... Use this app for 720p files

Easy and Fast x264 .MKV to PS3 and Xbox 360 compatible MP4 and PS3 compatible VOB/AC3 conversion.> - http://sentry23.googlepages.com/

All it is doing is changing the container, no transcoding involved. Will work with the majority of 720p stuff, 1080p won't work though.

I wonder how picky the divx playback is going to be.... if I have a tv show encoded in xvid, will that work? o_O

Yes!

The PS3 is going to be officially DivX certified - So it will be exactly the same as all those DivX logo DVD players you can buy nowadays.

Ahhh I can't wait! Mainly because my 360 won't work with TVersity on my PC for some reason - Think it's cause I have an nlited XP and the 360 needs "media sharing" to work on a windows platform...(I probably removed services/functionality in nlite) I also use WMP10, not 11.

I've been putting stuff on mem sticks to watch on my 360 so far. If playback on the PS3 is identical, ill just turn to streaming videos on it - PS3 works with TVersity fine on my setup.

Isn't divx back compat somehow, will I have issues playing my latest divx stuff?

I assume this is also applicable for xvid and that'll play?

99.9% of your latest "pirated" TV Shows/Movies will work.

Check the feedback on 360 Divx feedback - PS3 will be the same.

The only thing that has miffed me and others is this

What is the DivX Certified Program?

The DivX Certified Program sets standards so consumer electronics manufacturers can make products that support DivX video. DivX Certified products can play all versions of DivX video, including DivX 3, 4, 5 and DivX VOD.

Source: http://vod.divx.com/faq.php

Although further digging has given me info that 3.11 is more of a "hacked" version, and was only used by pirates... any truth there? So maybe the PS3 does support 3.xx, but just not 3.11.

Why is gizmodo reporting that it wont decode Xvid?

Aren't both DivX and Xvid supposed to be standard MPEG-4 Advanced Simple Profile?? I thought that decoding one meant decoding the other too.

Strange, will be suprised if it's true.

Don't know where their proof is...

They say courtesy of http://uk.playstation.com/help-support/ps3...res-(ver-2-10)/ , but that has no indication of xvid support either way - So unless they have tested it...

I'll bet my legs it does support xvid tomorrow - If I lose... well, i'll be disappointed and who needs legs anyway? :p

Who needs legs when you have a ps3? :p

Seriously ,I don't get the xvid thing, I hope it ain't true, unless someone has already tested the FW and confirmed it. But if DivX playback means MPEG-4 ASP playback, then it HAS to decode Xvid. Unless they are specifically "blocking" xvid files (fourCC tag?)

Yeah... someone else said

DivX and Xvid are interchangeable - they are both "weird" formats; being a mish-mash of AVI containers typically holding MPEG-4 Part 2 video and MPEG-1 Layer 3 (MP3) audio, or occasionally AC-3. I'm not sure why DivX really took off with pirates really, considering they could have used pure MPEG-4/AVC coding instead of the Frankenstein format they did. Anyway, what's done is done and it's too late to change.

Therefore, if DivX-certified support is there - which it is - the the AVI files will work as intended. Xvid should work too as it's just an open-source reworking of DivX, itself a reworking of MPEG-4...

I'm confident we'll be fine with obtained content for the internet ;)

I highly doubt Sony would add a filter for xvid files considering MS haven't. It wouldn't make business sense at all if there was the capability to play the files and they decide to remove a feature shared by their competitor.

I can't really see any other way for Sony to block xvid files... even if they do block the xvid FourCC you could just rewrite that to divx and it'd work, although that would be really inconvinient (so bad I'd actually use the 360 instead, despite how much I prefer streaming on the PS3).

    • JBL BAR 800 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos soundbar is an amazing deal today

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      JBL BAR 800 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos soundbar is an amazing deal today by Sayan Sen This Amazon Prime Day 2026 sales so far we have had a couple of nice deals related to sound and audio. First we have the Sennheiser HD 600 at its lowest ever price of just $225. Next we also have the Beats Studio Pro at its lowest price ever at just $150. However perhaps you prefer your gear to sound great on a larger scale, like throughout the room. In that case an all-in-one soundbar system can help and currently JBL's BAR 800 is a great deal for sure as it's up for grabs at just $600 (purchase link under the specs table down below). One thing that should be appreciated a lot about these JBL soundbars is their spec sheet and the frequency response data it provides. The firm is honest about it as JBL confirms the subwoofer is able to go down to 35 Hz at -6dB or F6. This means it should be covering 40Hz and up very well, where most of the bass lies. You miss out on a lot of sub-bass but that is to be expected given the price point and the subwoofer driver size. Speaking of which, it is a 10-inch driver and promises a max output power of 300 watts at 1% THD (total harmonic distortion). JBL also claims the system will provide you with a "True Dolby Atmos" experience. The surround speakers are wireless and battery-powered which means setting them up should be really convenient. The technical specs of the JBL BAR 800 are given in the table below: Specification Value Channel Configuration 5.1.2-channel soundbar system Dolby Atmos Yes, with 2 up-firing drivers Total System Power Output 720 W Soundbar Power Output 340 W Surround Speaker Power Output 2 × 40 W Subwoofer Power Output 300 W Soundbar Drivers 3 × 46×90 mm racetrack drivers, 3 × 20 mm tweeters, 2 × 70 mm up-firing full-range drivers Surround Speaker Drivers 1 × 46×90 mm racetrack driver (each speaker) Subwoofer Driver 10-inch (260 mm) wireless subwoofer Frequency Response 35 Hz – 20 kHz (-6 dB) Audio Inputs Optical, Bluetooth, Chromecast built-in, AirPlay, Alexa Multi-Room Music (MRM), USB* HDMI Inputs 1 HDMI video input HDMI Output 1 HDMI eARC output HDCP Version 2.3 HDR Pass-Through HDR10, Dolby Vision Bluetooth Version 5.0 Wi-Fi Version 6, 6E Streaming Services Chromecast built-in, Apple AirPlay, Alexa MRM Get it at the link below: JBL Bar 800-5.1.2-Channel Dolby Atmos soundbar with Detachable Surround Speakers (Black): $599.85 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US with Prime) Prime subscription can be cancelled within three business days.

    • Microsoft releases PowerToys v0.100.1, fixes a bug that made remapped keys misbehave

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Microsoft releases PowerToys v0.100.1, fixes a bug that made remapped keys misbehave by Ivan Jenic Microsoft just released PowerToys v0.100.1, a patch update that addresses several stability and behavior issues found in v0.100.0. The v0.100.0 patch was a significant update for PowerToys, as it introduced all sorts of new features and additions, such as a rebuilt Shortcut Guide, a Command Palette Extension Gallery, webcam overlay support in ZoomIt, and more. However, the v0.100.0 version also introduced some bugs and stability issues. And now, Microsoft is addressing these issues in the new patch. The most impactful fix in this release perhaps is in Keyboard Manager, where remapped modifier keys were being delivered as system-key events, causing unexpected behavior in apps. The clearest example of this was Alt-to-Backspace remaps, deleting whole words instead of a single character. So, if you thought there was an issue with your keyboard, Microsoft just confirmed that it was PowerToys. Beyond the Keyboard Manager fix, v0.100.1 also addresses several other issues. It fixes a bug with Power Display that was preventing monitors from waking from standby correctly. Additionally, the new update patches Quick Access crashes on launch, and resolves a Shortcut Guide crash that occurred when switching between sidebar sections. Here’s the full changelog: Color Picker Fixed a bug where the main Color Picker window could appear inside the zoomed-in picker view Command Palette Fixed Run history initialization in AOT builds Fixed a bug where the Performance Monitor dock item could show ??? after restart Fixed the Hibernate command using the Sleep icon Limited the "pin to dock" dialog to displays where the dock is enabled Keyboard Manager Fixed modifier keys remapped to non-modifier keys being delivered as system-key events, which caused unexpected behavior in apps such as Alt-to-Backspace deleting whole words Power Display Fixed a bug where selecting On in the monitor power-state control did not wake a monitor from standby Fixed built-in display detection and brightness control on dual-GPU laptops where the internal panel is driven by the discrete GPU PowerToys Run Fixed VS Code Workspaces discovery after VS Code moved recently opened workspace data to shared storage Quick Access Fixed Quick Access flyout crashes caused by unhandled XAML exceptions during launch or page navigation Shortcut Guide Fixed a crash when navigating between Shortcut Guide sidebar sections Fixed number-key rendering in shortcut manifests and added a Postman shortcut manifest Updated bundled shortcut manifests to use the literal number-key token so number keys render correctly across apps ZoomIt Fixed a race condition in audio initialization for ZoomIt video recording You can download PowerToys v0.100.1 from the official GitHub releases page.

    • Grand Theft Auto VI pricing revealed alongside Ultimate Edition and pre-loading details

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Grand Theft Auto VI pricing revealed alongside Ultimate Edition and pre-loading details by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last week, Rockstar revealed Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will be starting soon, and just a day ahead of that, now the studio has announced the official pricing for the highly anticipated game. This has been a hotly debated topic among fans and industry veterans for a long time, considering the game is expected to be the biggest entertainment product launch ever. The confirmed pricing for the Grand Theft Auto VI standard edition is $79.99, which Rockstar says gives access to the "single-player experience set in the biggest, most immersive evolution of the series yet." This follows what most of our readers thought would happen with the pricing too. At the same time, a $99.99 Grand Theft Auto VI: Ultimate Edition has been confirmed as well, which lands with "an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story." Pre-ordering will also give fans extra bonuses, including a Vintage Vice City Pack of cosmetic items as well as a free month of GTA+. Head to the official website of the game here to check out all the cosmetic rewards the Ultimate Edition and pre-orders bring. Interestingly, the studio does not mention Grand Theft Auto VI multiplayer at all in today's announcement. Perhaps this will arrive later, following the campaign launch, or the studio is keeping that reveal for a later date. Digital pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI will begin on June 25, 2026, at midnight local time across regions for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. The title is slated to launch on November 19 on those same platforms. Pre-loading for Grand Theft Auto VI will kick off on November 12, giving players a week to get the game ready on their consoles. As for the physical edition, Take-Two has confirmed that this will be available without a disc, with the box only containing a download code inside. This will be purchasable starting November 12, giving players who take this route time to pre-load the title as well.
