The UK's semi-official PlayStation blog, ThreeSpeech (http://threespeech.com/blog/2008/10/new-info-on-the-firmware-updates-for-ps3-and-psp/), has published a Sony Computer Entertainment Europe press release on PS3 firmware 2.5 and PSP firmware 5.0, which includes the line: "Both system software updates will be released on 15th October." Hey, that's ... tomorrow!
The Oct. 15 date is also backed up by a post on SCEE's official forums (http://community.eu.playstation.com/playstationeu/board/message?board.id=62&thread.id=1025773&view=by_date_ascending&page=1) from one of its community leads. All indications point towards tomorrow being the day both platforms will get tricked out with the new features we posted about yesterday, plus a couple of surprises – most notably Flash 9 support for the PS3's web browser. We've dropped SCEA a line for confirmation on a North American rollout of the firmware tomorrow.
