PS3 Firmware Update Allows Remote Play From PC and Bitstream Audio


Trophy sorting and 3D gaming readiness should have been enough to satisfy PS3 owners after the latest v3.30 system update (at least it didn't cause issues like the last time) but there are a couple of surprises in store. There is now a toggle for Bitstream Direct (output audio with the original digital signal prioritized) or Mix (mixed with sound effects such as button sounds and then converted to bitstream format) on Blue-ray movies, while future VAIO PC owners can get a taste of remote play without any PSP intermediary. Other unconfirmed reports include updated Flash compatibility, enhanced region free Blu-ray movie playback, and the usual complaints of bricked or otherwise busted consoles a swell as erroneous claims of an updated EULA that maintains Sony can update your PS3 whenever it wants. You can always wait for a custom build from Geohot instead, but to some the update might be worth it.
