One of the leading consumer electronics makers Sony announced that their next PlayStation 3 firmware updated v2.20 will add new features to PS3. This version will enable PS3 users to download video content, ringtones, interactive movie-based games, and more when the software will be released in late March.

The updated features will also allow users to copy photos and music playlists over USB from their PS3 to their PSP. The “Resume play” control will enable PS3 system to start playing a Blu-ray disc and DVD at the point it was stopped, even if the disc had been removed. Another control named “Audio Output Device” will be a new Remote Play setting, facilitating PSP to serve as a remote control for music played through PS3. In addition, “Mosquito Noise Reduction” control will be added as an AV setting in the control panel of the DVD/BD player for improved movie playback.

Additionally, PS3 system’s Internet browser will also be enhanced. Video files directly linked from a Web page will be allowed to be streamed, and the browser’s view speed will be improved. People will be able to play DivX and WMV format videos that are larger than 2GB.
