Sony’s Upcoming Release of New Firmware Upgrade Version 1.82 for PS3

Sony Computer Entertainment announced the upcoming release of its new firmware upgrade version 1.82 for the PlayStation 3 (PS3) console. This update version 1.82 adds support for AVC H 264/MPEG-4 High Profile playback. It allows PS3 to play AVC High Profile files. This High Profile standard is the same format used in both Blu-ray and HD DVD technology. The format is also being used and supported by Canon’s HDC-SD3 and Panasonic’s iVIS HR10 AVCHD cameras.

This new firmware is currently available at Japan Sony’s website. It will be made available in other parts of the world in the future. Gamers can expect to get it through the Sony website soon.

    I think you can download it from Playstation 3 via http://www.us.playstation.com/ps3/network/updates?ILC-PS3_1304&LINK=PS3SU

    So how does one get the H264 file into the PS3

    Only via download from Sony Online to built-in hard drive?

    Or can the H264 file reside on a home network and be played from there?

    Or can it be burnt to DVD+/-RW and played? (most movies in full H264 HD will be greater than 1 DVD)

    Thanks
