Gizmodo: firmware 2.5

PlayStation Home and Firmware 2.5 Hitting in October?

It's not officially confirmed, but PS3Fanboy received this screenshot of the PSHome beta tester forums. In it, you can see that Home Manager "TedtheDog" explaining that a fix to Home crashes will most likely be coming "later" next month with the release firmware 2.5. And though some of the remaining text is cut off, it seems that he hints to the firmware timing coinciding with Home 1.0. Since its original announcement, Home has certainly lost some of the mystique as we collectively remember what keeps us away from Second Life, but we'll still give it a whirl. [PS3Fanboy]

PlayStation 3 Firmware 2.5 To Bring Screengrabbing?

Mark Wilson — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 10:08:00 EDT

Not so long ago, we published the 10 things that we still wanted in the PlayStation 3 firmware. Now according to gaming site CVG, at least one of those requests will be checked off the list with Sony's upcoming firmware 2.5. (Sony really loves us!!) Specifically, screengrabbing is said to be on the way. And as minor as that may sound, it's a useful update that could allow (high rez?) captures of not just any gaming moment but movies as well. So sales of the Blu-ray versions of Wild Things and Gia should go through the roof. Wait, do people actually still watch Wild Things? Are girls kissing still cool? [CVG via Kotaku]

That's right folks, looks like Sony finally upgraded its PSP firmware to 2.5, avaialable through the Sony PSP network update. Doesn't seem all that exciting, though it looks like it includes the Location Free TV player and should be more stable against hackers.
