Sony PS3's New Upgrades

Sony PS3's New UpgradesGood news to all the PS3 Gamers - An upgrade was being made to PS3. Sony has announced an upgrade to the PS3’s Firmware to version 2.70.

A new Text Chat feature is being added, as a way for you to communicate online with PlayStation Network friends. Messages are typed through a wireless keypad or the on-screen keyboard. Text Chat can be used during game play and you’ll be able to simultaneously access up to three chat rooms, each of which can hold a maximum of 15 people. The firmware update will also add a video back-up service to the PS3 that'll let video files bought from the PlayStation Store be archived onto an external hard drive. Videos downloaded to a PSP will also be able to be copied over to the PS3, thanks to the firmware update.

The update further adds the ability to sort your listing of friends according to their online status. It'll also add the option to attach files of up to 3MB, rather than just 1MB, to the messages you send to friends. Cool!
