Hi, everyone, we have a system software updates for PS3 coming soon, and I wanted to provide you with a sneak peak at the details.

The PS3 firmware update (v2.60) is designed primarily to enhance the system’s media capabilities. The key feature is a new Photo Gallery application, which delivers a suite of tools for sorting through and displaying your digital photo collection. Digital pictures can be organized in groups according to various criteria, including the camera used to take the photos, the event date and time, colors in the photos, as well as the number, ages, or facial expressions of the people pictured. You can also create slideshows set to music and build photo playlists with an easy-to-use interface. The Photo Gallery application will need to be installed separately from the XMB after you update your PS3’s firmware. To install the Photo Gallery application, go to the Photo section on the XMB, select Photo Gallery and press the X button.


The 2.60 update also includes:

• Guest access to PlayStation Store – This enables non-PlayStation Network members to browse through the storefront to check out the latest games, demos, videos, etc.
• DivX 3.11 support – Videos in this format can now be played on PS3.

Here’s a video walk-through of firmware 2.60 that shows off some of what the Photo Gallery can do.

nohbody

I was "meh" about the DivX 3.11 compatibility. I almost thing that time would have been better spent adding PS2 backwards compatibility or some other new features.

Still needs MVK support and embedded sub support. I don't think it's ever comming though, so I bought a Popcornhour A-110

To play mkv files on your ps3, just get a small free program called mkv2vob.
The ps3 can play vob files!! There is no loss of quality because mkv2vob just takes away the mkv container and creates a new vob container leaving all video and audio entact

Yeah I know about muxing apps, works fine, but the PS3 still can't do embedded subs- Plus I would get tired of muxing every file i get, to much hassle and the Popcorn Hour does a much better job

How long a go did you try? I tried back in December and worked without any problems, if you can live without subs.
