The latest PS3 Firmware update (version 2.10) is now live

[Sash]

Sony has unleashed the new Firmware update for PlayStation 3, version 2.10. The update is now live with improvements such as support for DivX and VC-1 video codecs, as well as the addition of Picture in Picture (PiP) features via the new Blu-ray Profile 1.1 (otherwise known as Bonus View).

This PiP feature with 'Bonus View' allows users to view secondary video codecs simultaneously during playback. For the less technologically literate amongst us, this means that you can watch recordings video commentaries etc. in small video windows, while watching the main feature in full screen.

The DivX and VC-1 support will simply increase the already large number of video playback formats that the PS3 can support. Another interesting feature with Firmware version 2.10 is voice changing for audio chat. Our first task will be altering the tone and pitch of our voices to sound like Darth Vader.
