A new version of the firmware has been released after the initial release caused some Playstation 3's to become unusable.
The new version is called V2.41 and should contain the same features as V2.40.
New features interesting for Blu-ray and movie fans include:
- You can now use the [Frame Noise Reduction] and [Block Noise Reduction] settings for video content that is saved on the hard disk or storage media.
- You can now play upscaled video content that is saved on the hard disk or storage media. When the video content is played, it is upscaled automatically to match the screen size.
-Upscaling of Blu-ray Disc (BDAV) video content is now supported.
- For DTS playback on DVD-Video and Blu-ray Disc media, DTS-ES and DTS 96/24 for DVD-Video and DTS-ES Matrix for Blu-ray Discs are now supported.*
