Version 2.60 of the PS3's firmware update is due for download on January 21st - that's tomorrow for us Brits.

It includes the following:

'DivX 3.11 support.

'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.'

There's also the ability for people who don't have access to the PlayStation Store (if they've not registered on PSN) to access the PlayStation Store. We were a little confused by this to start with, until it became blindingly obvious that Sony simply wants more people to buy things. Capitalism's a beautiful thing.
