[PS3] Firmware 1.82

[Margaret]

Hey everyone, you told us you wanted to hear about updates a few days in advance, so here’s a quick heads up that we have a PS3 firmware update in the works. Scheduled for release in the next few days, firmware 1.82 is an update that enables the playback of AVC High Profile (H.264/MPEG-4) files. As most of you know, these are high quality files that you’ll now be able to play on your PS3. Hopefully this update is moving us closer to the audio playback features many of you commented about in my post the other week. We’re continuing to evaluate and improve things across the board, including PS2 software compatibility. I’ll chime in here quickly with an update once the firmware is live and ready. Thanks for all of your support and feedback, keep it coming!

No big deal for me watch all my stuff on the PC but I'm sure some people will be happy to hear it.

Do we class the 'real' updates as 1.90, 2.0, 2.1 etc, and those inbetween as mini fixes?

I guess, wonder if they will make a 1.9 or just jump to 2.0.

2.0 is going to be great when it becomes available though.

PS Store is so slow for me over wireless or wired and I've tried even without the router plugged in.

Wierd, mines really fast. As mentioned downloads finish extremely quickly with no issues

Yeah I've tried US, Jap and EU store, same thing.

Xbox Live downloads very quick, my PC is fine and works at the full 2mb/s speed just my PS3 won't.
