Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) is pleased to announce the latest upgrade (system software update version 2.60) for PlayStation 3(PS3). The PS3 experience is about more than just games; it's also about movies, pictures, music, video and more.

This is in part thanks to PlayStationNetwork, the online space that opens up a world of new and exciting entertainment offerings. Following on from the success of the last enhancement to the service, version 2.60 is available to download from January 21, 2009 and comes with a host of new features that will give PS3 owners an even better experience.

First is the new Photo Gallery application where you can group photos in various ways including by date and time, by event or by the number of people in the photos - you can even create a playlist that groups expressions (e.g. smiles) or age categories, like adults and children.

You can also create a playlist of selected photos and select a photo frame for the playlist, which can also be played with your own music tracks - ideal for saving your family or holiday photos in a way that's simple to access and easy to enjoy.

But the new features don't end there: Sony Computer Entertainment have now added the ability to play DivX 3.11 encoded video files - great for reliving some of those hilarious home video moments.

Plus, if you've always wanted to see what PlayStationStore has to offer but haven't yet registered on PlayStation Network, those days are now over. Simply go and take a look at the latest trailers, games demos, exclusive content and loads more at the click of a button, before you decide to create a PlayStation Network account.

What they can do is fix the problem where it freezes ingame when I'm opening a message and nothing happens and i have to quit the game.
Also fix it so that when I'm deleting someone it doesn't just freeze and I have to shut my entire console off.
God that's annoying.

DivX is a brand name of products created by DivX, including the DivX Codec which has become popular due to its ability to compress lengthy video segments into small sizes while maintaining relatively high visual quality.

i think that they should make some updates like this one optional because what if i dont want an application for some photos? i mean the only reason im downloading the update is so i can get online, and not to use any other features from the update. but other updates i guess should be manditory like if they are adding a new option to the xmb bar like going to the browser while in i game or something.
