News: PS3 firmware 2.41 out "midweek", says Sony - ComputerAndVideoGames.com

Good. All the same, I think I'll wait until others try it first. Since I'm not a gamer, I guess it doesn't really offer much to me anyway.

 

[gadgtfreek]

Prob not a bad idea.

Im surprised they never have increased the PQ, since it was touted that there was still room.

 

[navychop]

Yeah. 30%, IIRC.

 

[gadgtfreek]

Yepp.

One important feature added in 2.40/2.41 for watching movies

"For DTS playback on DVD-Video and Blu-ray Disc media, DTS-ES and DTS 96/24 for DVD-Video and DTS-ES Matrix for Blu-ray Discs are now supported.*
* "DTS" is a trademark of DTS Inc."

They always supported Basic (CORE) DTS and for the last several releases supported DTS-HD and DTS-HD Master audio. But until now had not supported DTS-ES, and DTS 96/24.

And one minor feature
"Upscaling of Blu-ray Disc (BDAV) video content is now supported"

PS: I have been able to verify the new DTS features, but not the the Upscaling of BDAV.

OK, so it's certainly worth my downloading. Thank you. Maybe I'll do it this weekend, after a few more pioneers test it out for me.

Sounds like a good update, I'll have to give it a try and cross my fingers it works.
