The PLAYSTATION®3 experience gets even better with the 2.60 System Software Update:

Create photo galleries and playlists and relive your video moments

Access PlayStation®Store without an account!

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) is pleased to announce the latest upgrade (system software update version 2.60) for PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3™). The PS3 experience is about more than just games; it’s also about movies, pictures, music, video and more. This is in part thanks to PlayStation®Network, the online space that opens up a world of new and exciting entertainment offerings. Following on from the success of the last enhancement to the service, version 2.60 is available to download from January 21, 2009 and comes with a host of new features that will give PS3 owners an even better experience.

First is the new Photo Gallery application where you can group photos in various ways including by date and time, by event or by the number of people in the photos – you can even create a playlist that groups expressions (e.g. smiles) or age categories, like adults and children. You can also create a playlist of selected photos and select a photo frame for the playlist, which can also be played with your own music tracks – ideal for saving your family or holiday photos in a way that’s simple to access and easy to enjoy.

But the new features don’t end there: Sony Computer Entertainment have now added the ability to play DivX 3.11 encoded video files – great for reliving some of those hilarious home video moments. Plus, if you’ve always wanted to see what PlayStation®Store has to offer but haven’t yet registered on PlayStation Network, those days are now over. Simply go and take a look at the latest trailers, games demos, exclusive content and loads more at the click of a button, before you decide to create a PlayStation Network account.

PS3 and PlayStation Network are constantly evolving to sit at the heart of your entertainment world as more and more new games, new services and new entertainment experiences arrive. The features in the 2.60 enhancement are well worth experiencing for yourself.

Yeah, the photo gallery thing does have to be downloaded separately, but it is very useful.
