The last version of the PS3 firmware brings support to Blu-ray 1.1, demonstrating that this game console is definitely an excellent standalone BD player.
The main feature of this new version is to manage simultaneously two video streams allowing to display a second window within the main one (HD-DVD supports such feature since the very beginning).
The new PS3 firmware also brings support for DivX, something which should not be consider as a minor option by many users.
Soon, video game capabilities of the PS3 might become optional
