Kick ***, now If only they would allow widescreen support for PS2 games that have it...

In any case, this actually helps me with a lot of the stuff I wanted. I hope you can change the video output settings/upscaling while watching DVD/Blu-ray movies.


::EDIT::

Just downloaded and installed it. Apparently, the last update made it so you no longer have to connect the controller to the system, and it automatically restarts after the update.

The overview my PS3 gave me only said 4 things: 1) You can change the wallpaper of the XMB. 2) You can use emoticons under [Friends]. 3) and 4) deal with simplified Chinese text.

I didn't see it mentioned but now you can add your own custom wallpaper to your screen which is sweet.

:Edit:

Nevermind it was mentioned :P Still pretty nice!

Sounds solid, hope to seen soon the Home update, seems like a better way to know my fellow PS3 gamers on a virtual chat than in some chatroom (also do to its hope in games option). Also, was thinking at this rate we may need quite few external drives to save games and updates. :P
