PS3 2.60 Update: Sony Playstation 3 2.60 Firmware Update
Just after the WOW 3.0.8 patch download availability, Sony announced the availability of Sony PS3 2.60 update. Sony Playstation 3 is one of the top-gaming consoles worldwide and not so long ago when PS3 firmware was updated to 2.52, here comes Sony PS3 2.60 firmware update/upgrade.
The PS3 firmware update to 2.60 includes the following changes to your Playstation 3 gaming consoles according to Sony Corporation:
The PS3 firmware update (v2.60) is designed primarily to enhance the system’s media capabilities. The key feature is a new Photo Gallery application, which delivers a suite of tools for sorting through and displaying your digital photo collection.
Digital pictures can be organized in groups according to various criteria, including the camera used to take the photos, the event date and time, colors in the photos, as well as the number, ages, or facial expressions of the people pictured. You can also create slideshows set to music and build photo playlists with an easy-to-use interface.
The Photo Gallery application will need to be installed separately from the XMB after you update your PS3’s firmware. To install the Photo Gallery application, go to the Photo section on the XMB, select Photo Gallery and press the X button.
The Sony PS3 2.60 firmware update also includes:
- DivX 3.11 support – Videos in this format can now be played on PS3.
- Guest access to PlayStation Store – This enables non-PlayStation Network members to browse through the storefront to check out the latest games, demos, videos, etc.
Personally though, the PS3 2.60 firmware update/upgrade is too big (filesize, I mean). Updating two features amounting to around 140MB of storage space is I think too much. Why wasn’t the update file made smaller?
