PS3: Firmware update 1.90 hits Japan, Europe tomorrow

[blackrave]

The 1.90 Firmware update just hit Japanese PS3s. Let's check out what the update features:

• Ability to rearrange games on the XMB
• Option menu now includes "eject disk"
• Press triangle to eject games/CDs/movies in the XMB
• XMB backgrounds
• Change the folder classification
• Emoticons
• Change CD output to 44.1/88.2/176.4kHz
• Force 24Hz output for Blu-ray over HDMI
• Change PS3 video settings in-game
• "Bit Mapping" in the "Music Setting"
• Save AVCHD type animations from a Memory Stick
• Change settings like upscaling while playing PS and PS2 games
• Add bookmarks
• Web browser security function in the browser's tool section
• Avatar moves during audio visual chat

The customized backgrounds and the emoticons are nice touches. Quite good update if you ask me. Everyone in Europe, and probably US, will be able to get this from tomorrow (July 24th).

This PS3 firmware update sounds very good. I just hope I won't break the playability of Final Fantasy 12 though.
