Firmware 2.30 On April 15th, Introduces New PlayStation Store

April 11, 2008 | Author: play-beyond | Filed under: Firmware Updates

Sony Computer Entertainment America announced today that the PS3 will be receiving a new system update on April 15th next week. This new system software will add DTS-HD Master Audio and DTS-HD High Resolution Audio support. These enhancements will grant PS3 users a more high quality Blu-ray movie experience (for those who have the proper equipment to decode the audio).

Additionally, the PS3 firmware update v. 2.30 will give PS3 owners access to the improved PlayStation Store. The PlayStation store is transitioning from an integrated online storefront to a native application on PS3. This will allow customers to more efficiently download games, demos, videos, movie trailers and other content for PS3.

By the way, instead of regular screenshots, you can now see how the new user interface will look in this video demo featuring Grace Chen.
