Coming September, to a Playstation 3 in your residence, is an update to further expand the 3D capabilities of the PS3. This update adds to the already enabled capability of 3D games (and updating the HDMI spec to 1.4, required for 3D), by providing support for Blu-Ray movies featuring 3D content. An update for 3D photos is expected later on in the year, and You Tube is expected to support 3D within 12 months.

Quite the update this one, adding some new features (some known and a couple of surprises) to the already feature heavy Playstation 3. Some of the hightlights are the ability to purchase a Playstation Plus subscription, improved network connectivity, and a Video editor and uploader. Additionally, a firmware update for the PSP (Ver 6.30) has also been released.
