As i usually do ever morning when i get up is go to the Blog.Us.Playstation.com site to see whats up with the playstation community and today they finally announced that firmware 1.90 is coming to the PS3 in hte next few days.

 

Here is the article:

A quick update: we have a new firmware upgrade in the works for PS3, it will be available for download in the next few days. Firmware 1.90 brings with it several new features, many of which readers of this blog have requested – I’m happy to report.

 

Customization is one new feature: you can now personalize the wallpaper on your XMB with a photo. This was one of the top three requests we received via the blog’s contact form. When viewing a photo, simply bring up the options screen by pressing the triangle button and selecting “set as wallpaper†from the options displayed. Additionally, you can now change the order of the games displayed under the game icon on the XMB.

 

Another new feature focuses on added communication elements: When you’re sending messages to friends on PLAYSTATION Network, you can now use emoticons. We’ve added a bunch of emoticons that can be easily accessed from the virtual keyboard. Also, another cool addition is, when an avatar is displayed during voice/video chat, the avatar will move in response to audio.

 

Finally, on the more technical side, you can now play AVCHD videos saved on a Memory Stick or digital video camera, and we’ve added the ability to upscale audio CD output from your PS3. Now, there are two requirements for this feature: the device you’re outputting to must support a sampling frequency of 88.2 kHz or 176.4 kHz, and your PS3 must be connected to that device with an HDMI cable or digital optical cable.

 

Oh, and one more thing: you can now eject discs using your controller by selecting “Eject Disc†in the options menu after you push the PS button.

 

Several other minor options will be included in 1.90 including a few new display options that will allow you to adjust your display while playing PlayStation, PlayStation2 and Blu-ray movies. More info on these options as well as detailed info on the rest of the 1.90 additions will be available later this week. We’ll update this post with a link to that info when it’s available.

 

We’re working on additional features for our next update that will incorporate more of your feedback, so as always thanks for all of your support, and please keep those suggestions coming!

I am glad to hear about the background thing... it was sad that the PS3 couldnt do something a psp could.

 

The icon/smiley shit is cool too... but I'm still waiting for the ps3 network communication stuff to catch up to xbox live... it has a ways to go yet.

I'll be making some 720p UF4 backgrounds, if anyone is interested. I'll do 1080p as well, if requested...

 

How do you make them different? I am very interested.

 

Well, what do you mean by different? Do you mean specifically how I set them up for the XMB?

You just make a background thats 720 vertical pixels by 1,280 horizontal pixels. If your doing 1080p, then it would be 1,920 vertical pixels by 1,080 horizontal pixels. If you make it 1080p first, then you could easily down-size to 720p, with little picture quality lost. I'm gonna have to make some 480i wallpapers for my poor ass... lol.
