Sony details PS3 firmware 2.50 upgrades: DivX VOD support, AV tweaks

[wraggster]

Sony didn't want to make a big deal about this (so humble, that Sony) but the PlayStation 3's recent 2.50 firmware update has a few extra additions aimed straight at home theater buffs. First up is a place to enter your DivX VOD Registration code -- necessary if you want to get any of that Sony Pictures or Warner Bros. DivX-encoded video that's on the way -- along with new Sequential Playback and 50Hz video output settings, plus support for chroma upsampling & Mosquito Noise Reduction video enhancement on homemade Blu-ray discs and DVDs. On a more minor note, the BD/DVD settings section has been renamed just Video Settings, while the Cinema Conversion and Upscale options are getting all their mail delivered to BD/DVD Cinema Conversion and BD/DVD Upscaler, respectively. Peep the PlayStation site for the rest of the exciting details (there's a German keyboard layout change that is not to be missed), and then go back to watching Hulu in a tiny box with a poor framerate in your newly Flash-enabled browser.

Hi there wraggster

I recently updated my PS3 settings, and i felt a great excitement with the new changes to the system, however I went through the usual steps as the PS3 instructed me to do so, go to www.divx.com/vod/ and this I did, and input the code from my PC, and thought I had registered the code, and I then went back to my PS3, and as I went into the settings area again, I noticed that in the divx settings, that there was another code????? totally different from the fiirst one, that I inputted to the PC.

What am I doing wrong.


Hope you are good
