Three Speech has announced that the next firmware update for the Playstation 3, version 1.90, is set to be released in Europe tomorrow (July 24th). This follows very soon after the
news that the update had hit PS3s in Japan recently. Unfortunately there’s no word yet on a release date for North America, but considering how quickly the update seems to be spreading, it should be happening very soon. Until then, here’s a quick list of what you can expect to see when it does arrive:
â$¢ Ability to rearrange games on the XMB
â$¢ Option menu now includes “eject disk”
â$¢ Press triangle to eject games/CDs/movies in the XMB
â$¢ XMB backgrounds
â$¢ Change the folder classification
â$¢ Emoticons
â$¢ Change CD output to 44.1/88.2/176.4kHz
â$¢ Force 24Hz output for Blu-ray over HDMI
â$¢ Change PS3 video settings in-game
â$¢ “Bit Mapping” in the “Music Setting”
â$¢ Save AVCHD type animations from a Memory Stick
â$¢ Change settings like upscaling while playing PS and PS2 games
â$¢ Add bookmarks
â$¢ Web browser security function in the browser’s tool section
â$¢ Avatar moves during audio visual chat
