Great googily moogily!

Finaly MKV Support!




PlayStation 3 owners may be getting a long-requested feature with the console's next firmware update and then some.

While the feature has been rumored to be in development for months as a Playstation Plus exclusive feature, a post on the NeoGAF forums today may have inadvertently confirmed its imminent release from "Naughty Dog Dev" ReklissAbandon that consisted of a leaked patch list. The post, now unsurprisingly deleted, consisted of these juicy details:

Disc changes

BluRay driver has been updated.

Game changes

Ability to choose between various smoothing filters for PS1 and PS2 games
Added backwards compatibility (via emulation) for PS2 games on models lacking the Emotion Engine and Graphics Synthesizer.
Updated list of compatible PS2 software titles on PS3.

Media changes

Added cross audio voice chat (stability on a game by game basis)
BluRay playback has been improved.
MKV video format support added.
Added a new YouTube icon on the Video category.

Network changes

Network bandwidth greatly improved.
Web browser speed has been improved.
Improved Playstation Notwork stability
Playstation Notwork services such as the Game and Video store have a new user interface.
Updated Playstation Notwork Terms of Services.
Web browser has 3D output support.

System changes

Installation packages times have been reduced.
Fad speed has been adjusted, adding an automatic driver silent setting.
Updated web-browser, now based on Google Chrome.
Trophies will automatically synchronize with servers while user is online.
Added 3D support for XMB UI.

A release date was not mentioned :confused:

Hopefully it's not Plus members only and it has full functionality (ie. not limited).

Screw the MKV. Do I spot them re-implementing PS2 emulation?

Granted my original PS3 has the emotion engine, thats been the only thing hindering me from getting a new slim PS3 since I still play a few old games occasionally.

It was stupid how they took out the emulation in the first place. I remember it was one of the selling points that they marketed when ps3 first came out.

Probably just the first two gens of PS3 that advertised the feature.
