PS3 Firmware Update - 2.60

Archive: 23 posts


Eric Lempel, Director of PlayStation Network Operations, has put up a post about the arrival of firmware v2.60 for PlayStation 3. A novel feature included is a new Photo Gallery application along with Guest Access to PlayStation Store and DivX 3.11 support.

The new 140MB 2.60 update features the Photo Gallery application that needs to be installed from XMB under the Photo section. The Photo Gallery app has tools for organizing and displaying the digital photo collection. Slideshows with music and playlists can be created with the stored digital photos.

This update will also add DivX 3.11 support for videos on PS3. Also, non-PSN users would now be able to access the PlayStation Store for checking out new games, videos, demos, etc.

Visit the PS3 System Update page if you wish to download the update onto a PC.

Personal note: the Photo Gallery is awesome.

Big Girl You are Beautiful - Mika

My mum was insulted.

Seriously it really is! I use the my PS3 alot for Music, and often enough for Video, but the Photo aspect was a bit lacking, with this now it just adds so much to it... I just started up the application and thought it was already pretty cool without modifying anything! I had pics of DMC next to pics of my last move and some wallpapers... It just did everything right so far (props to Sony for nailing this one!).

Uhm I'm not sure, just go to your settings and click on System Update at the very top of the list, choose to update via intenet and if you're at the latest version it will simply tell you so, otherwise it'll offer you to start the download

It's a nice option for people that are interested in it but I personally won't download it. Too much other important stuff to put on my HDD.

If you're refering to the topic with the bad translation the 22nd was the date dlc was surposed to resume, all it said about the patch was that it was being worked on which means it could hit at any time.

This update was alright. I have some pics on my PS3 but I don't see myself using this too often. Still, it's really just something extra so one can't complain.2009-01-22 02:24:00

I don't know, Maybe its because I'm a bit of a technophile, but I get a bit giddy every time I see a new sleek new app for free on the PS3.2009-01-22 03:14:00

After toying around with the new app it becomes apparent that this was designed for use with Digital Photos, not artwork or game pictures.
That kinda makes this app useless to me, since 90% of the pictures I have on my PS3 are HD digital artwork and the like.
I had really hoped the app would provide you with an organiser or something because I hate not being able to sort pictures into my own custom categories... Only Time or Title.

However the face recognition feature is dope... The ability to sort pictures by how many people are in it or the facial expressions is... Well, its naturally Useless but still really cool.

I just cant really imagine someone going:
"Oh, I got to show you this picture of Debbie, I just cant remember when I took it, or what I called the file... But oh! She's Frowning, so that's gonna narrow it down some!"
