Sony Details PlayStation 3 Firmware 1.6 Update

Sony has revealed details surrounding the PlayStation 3’s upcoming firmware 1.6 system update, which is scheduled to go live on March 22, the day prior to the console’s debut in both Europe and PAL territories.

The update, which will have to be downloaded from the console’s PlayStation Network, will introduce a number of key enhancements to the PlayStation 3, not least of which will be background downloading, a feature demonstrated by Sony executive Phil Harrison during his recent GDC keynote. But, as a report by consumer website IGN points out, there will be some limitations to this feature, the details of which are not expected to be made available until the update’s release.

The firmware update will also introduce additional PSP connectivity features to the PlayStation 3, allowing users the ability to access their PlayStation 3 console remotely using the PSP over Wi-Fi hotspots, rather than having to be physically connected to the console.

The new firmware will also add support for full-sized keyboards, a welcome upgrade for those wanting a solution other than the console’s current mobile phone style of input.

Other enhancements will include updates to the console’s web browser, which now can detect a user’s video settings and modify the page’s font size, and will include a ‘pin-point zoom’ feature to selectively magnify parts of a web page.

Finally, the 1.6 update will also bring the previously announced Folding@Home distributed computing project, which will be used to aid in calculations relating to the study of protein folding and protein folding diseases.

Bien, el primer parche de PS3 lo sacarán el 22 de Marzo, mas o menos cuando salga aqui en europa y que la comprará todo aquél que quiera pueda gastarse el sueldo de varios meses sin suponer estar varios meses más jugando porque no va a tener dinero ni para un ron’n’cola on the rocks.

En este parche se añadirán opciones adicionales de conectividad entre PSP y PS3 como por ejemplo acceder a tu ps3 desde tu psp via Wi-Fi, o por ejemplo la posibilidad de enchufarle un teclado, cosa que yo personalmente agradezco mucho.

PERO el parche se bajará a través de la red de la consola. Es decir, encima que la traen con retraso NO sois capaces ni de incluir la actualización en el maldito cd en que poneis las demos que se cortan en el mejor trozo y son una mierda, no, tengo que ESPERAR a que se me baje para poder jugar con el teclado, por ejemplo. Todo un detalle.
