The PlayStation 3 firmware revision that Sony's Eric Lempel mentioned a few days ago in Sony's official blog is finally live and available for download.
The update, version 1.82, enables playback of AVC High Profile (H.264/MPEG-4) files, . If this means absolutely nothing to you, you're not alone. Don't worry your pretty little head over it. If you do know what I'm talking about, then there's certainly on reason for me to explain this to you, now is there?
Whether you want it or not, the firmware update will be necessary, so go find your USB cable and set aside five to ten minutes of your time.

P.S. - Doesn't this mean Divx & Xvid support? That would certainly be a very cool update. To video pirates anyway. (Arrrgh! Shiver me timbers!)
if you want to view those files, get TVersity...but you'll need pretty fast pc...at least duo core, if i'm not mistaken...
A USB cable is used to connect the Sixaxis to the PlayStation 3. It's used for charging purposes, and when updating the system's firmware, it is ALWAYS required that you attach your Sixaxis to the console.
It's a small thing, but annoying enough for me to mention. :D
PS3 controllers are wireless but can be connected via a USB cable for recharging and to communicate through the wired connection.
When doing a system update you are required to connect the controller via USB. You'd have to ask some PS3 engineer why. It's kind of annoying since there doesn't seem to be a good reason for it.
Since an errant flashing can totally hose your system should you have trouble, I think it's a good idea to take every precaution.
Kudos to you, Sony.
While you balk, the average psp owner is frightened of people accidentally updating their firmware.
Actually, this is kinda cool. My audio card on the laptop just went, and most of the new anime I am downloading are .h264, so this is kinda opportune.
