Playstation 3 – Firmware 2.5

Forleden udkom firmware 2.5 til PS3, men hvad indeholder den?

Det er nok en af de firmware udgivelser, som der har været mest stilhed om fra Sonys side. Måske belært af tidligere problemer.

Og denne opdatering har da heller ikke været helt problemfri. PS3 virker fint, men brugere oplever problemer med deres Synology medie server. Dette lader dog til at være et problem, som Synology skal løse.

Men selve opdateringen indeholder faktisk flere nyheder.

• PlayStation@Network menuer og login er redesignet (også auto login).
  
• Mulighed for automatisk at slukke, efter endt download eller installation
  
• Mulighed for automatisk at slukke, efter den ikke har været aktiv i et stykke tid. Det samme gælder controllerne.
  
• BD/DVD settings hedder nu “Video settings”, og eknkelte menuer derunder har fået nyt navn
  
• DivX VOD (Video On Demand) registreringskode tilføjet
  
• Sequential playback og 50Hz video output indstillinger
  
• Ny metode til at forbinde til bluetooth enheder igen.
  
• Flere muligheder for valg af keyboard layout (desværre ikke dansk), og det tyske keyboard er opdateret.
  
• Mulighed for netværks printere og HP printere
  
• Volume knap til musik (på mini-size control panel)
  
• Pause afspilning på mini-size control panel
  
• Volume knap til film og video
  
• Scene søgning i video
  
• Mosquito Noise filter til video
  
• Farve opskalering (chroma upsampling) kan forbedre detaljerne i billedet – særligt på objekter i bevægelse.
  
• Server synkronisering i trophy sektionen
  
• PS knappen kan nu vise netværksinfo under spil
  
• Support for Adobe Flash Player 9
