PS3 Firmware 1.60 Now Available

Posted by Christopher Sasaki Categories: Hardware, PlayStation 3,

Early this morning, Sony officially made the 1.60 firmware update available for the PlayStation 3. This update includes a ton of enhancements for the console; honestly, some of the improvements should have shipped with the machine, like background downloading. A full list of the improvements and how to utilize the new features is available on Sony’s website now, but from a high level, users with 1.60 can look forward to:

• Internet Browser usability changes, including a new auto-zoom feature, a full-size virtual keyboard, flicker-fixer, and a resolution adjustment setting.
• Support for Sony’s Folding@home client for distributed protein folding research.
• Remote Play via access point, allowing Remote Play functionality for all PlayStation 3 consoles, not just the 60GB edition.
• Users can now toggle disc auto-start on the PS3
• Bluetooth keyboard and mouse support
• The ability to restore PS3 backup data onto another PS3.

A deeper look into some of the new features continues after the jump.
