Probably most of you are aware that Playstation 3 is now updating to firmware 2.10. This update adds Divx and WMV decoding for video as well as a voice pitch changer that can be used during chat (for what purpose I don’t yet know).
This release is rumoured to also include support for Final Standard Profile discs (profile 1.1), making the majority of Blu-ray playback devices compliant overnight – I guess we will need to wait for the Lionsgate releases to test that out though.
