Firmware 2.20 for the Sony PlayStation 3 brought us a load of goodies when it arrived a few days back - among them support for BD-Live and even opening the door for Hello World. By now, you should have realized that the firmware updates won't be stopping anytime soon. Thanks to an AV Watch interview of Sony engineers, we can be one step ahead of these developments.
Product Planning director Naoya Matsui headlined a group of Sony engineers who gave us insights on upcoming plans for BD-Live and the PS3 firmware. Topping the list would be the future of Blu-ray movie playback.
If today, we need the latest PS3 firmware in order to access the PlayStation Network or play the newest games, then in the near future, we may need a firmware update first in order to watch the latest Blu-ray movie because of new encryption keys. Case in point, Resident Evil: Extinction.
Although firmware 1.8 had the key, the movie had a firmware 2.10 updater because it renders image quality better.
As for other firmware plans, we should expect these PS3 firmware updates to continue being free of charge. Moreover, these updates will come on a quarterly basis. The April revision of the PlayStation Store is its only exception.
Here are more insights from Matsui and the Sony Engineering team:
That's a slew of information from the Sony engineers. Now that the PlayStation 3 is still rated higher than any stand-alone Blu-ray player, we can confidently say the frontier is just opening up.

Over 2.8 Million PSN gamers in North America
Over at the ongoing Game Developers Conference, Chris Eden, Senior Developer Relations Account Manager at SCEA presented a detailed report on how far the PlayStation 3 console has come since its initial launch last year.
In his presentation, Eden pointed out that 2.8 million people in North America have a playstation network account. Along with this, 46 million psn downloads have been reached worldwide since its launch in November of 2006.
He added that these numbers will continue to grow in the coming future since the company has a feeling that 2008 is going to be the best year yet for its playstation 3 console. It looks like Microsoft's Xbox Live Network has its work cut out for itself with this little development.

Downloading PS3 Games Online
Recently I've been searching for a way to not have to wait to go shopping to buy all my new ps3 games or if i buy them online i have to wait on the games to be delivered, this is really inconvenient when I'm really ready to play right now. So as I'm waiting for the latest game i've ordered online, I search the internet for download ps3 games online and bingo I found this great site that lets you download ps3 games directly to your hard drive no more waiting.
Let's face it buying ps3 video games is very expensive, especially if you buy a lot of them. Now you can download all the media you want for your ps3 console online, including games, music, TV shows and movies, all ready to be transferred instantly to your ps3 console.But when downloading video games from the internet it's easy to get confused. There are so many sites out there to choose from and a lot of them are scams. So where should you download from? And which sites should you avoid?
There are a few simple rules you can follow that will assure you find a great site to download ps3 games online. Firstly, although it's tempting to download ps3 games from 'torrent' sites (file sharing sites) its best to avoid them. The files on these ps3 torrent sites aren't regulated and a lot of the time can contain viruses and spyware that even anti-virus software can't detect. Its best to join a paid site (which should only charge a small one time fee) and have access to there database of video games for life. These databases are always being updated and so have all the latest ps3 new games releases ready for you to download.Next, you should choose a site which has all forms of media available to download, not just ps3 video games. The best sites will have music, movies and TV shows as well as games for all consoles (Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii and PS3) so check for this before you join.Finally, make sure the site offers a customer support service in case you have any problems or questions you need answering (the best sites offer 24/7 customer support).
