[johnq24]

I just turned on my Ps3 and found that there is a new update.

Changelog

Playlists that were created in [Music] and [Photo] can now be copied along with the content they contain to a PSP system. You can play the content on the PSP system in the order that was set on the PS3 system.

BD Profile 2.0 is now supported. With BDs that support BD-LIVE*, you can access internet content for the BD.
*BD-LIVE is a trademark of the Blu-ray Disc Association.

Resume play* can now be used on a BD or DVD even if the PS3 system has been turned off or the disc has been ejected. However, there are some discs on which resume play cannot be used.
*A feature for starting playback from the scene where the video was stopped previously.
