This morning, the Sony UK PlayStation website leaked the new features of PlayStation 3 Firmware upgrade 2.10 that should hit consoles tomorrow.
The main updates will be big news for those who enjoy Blu-ray movies. The PS3 will finally support Blu-ray Disc Profile 1.1 meaning the PS3 will support picture-in-picture and audio mixing features. Also included will be the new BD Data Utility.
Additionally, support for DivX and VC-1 encoded files as been added, which should please users who have felt the console's video playback is lacking. There are however, a few issues. The PS3 still wont play copyright-protected files, files encoded by using DivX 3.11, or that are 2GB or larger.
Finally, a "voice changer" option will be added to allow users to "mask the sounds of their voice when chatting on audio or video chat over the PlayStation Network."
