Page 2 of 2 QJ.net says that another new feature is called "Resume play". Another cool feature QJ.net unveils is called "Audio Output Device”. This lets you use your PSP as a nifty remote control for any music you play through your PS3. The PS3’s web browser gets an update too, with pages loading faster and video files on the web becoming streamable. For those who have movies in DivX or WMV format, Sony have now decided that if your video is larger than 2GB, you can play it. Apparently this wasn’t possible before, which was a bit odd, but at least in the case of DivX movies/videos they were probably just trying to make life tougher for pirates, and you can’t blame Sony for wanting to do that, being movie studio owners themselves. There’s also something called "Mosquito Noise Reduction", which will do its best to remove any ‘artefacts’ that appear in DVD or Blu-ray movies. Artefacts are little visual glitches, and if the PS3 can truly remove these (which shouldn’t be there anyway), so much the better. QJ.net notes that BD discs recorded in the BDMV format aren’t supported. The PS3 and PSP’s compatibility is also further enhanced. Although the Blu-ray to PSP feature is something we covered on page one, QJ.net notes that PS3 owners can also copy music and photo playlists to PSP Memory Sticks to enjoy on their PSPs. So, the PS3 value proposition gets ever better, whether you own a PSP or not, making the PS3 more versatile and an ever better buy with every new firmware update, putting further pressure onto the Xbox 360 and the Nintendo Wii, ensuring 2008 will the console world's most competitive year yet!
