According to reader reports, the PlayStation 3 firmware 2.1 is now available, complete with DivX support, WMVs, enhanced audio bitmapping and a voice changer to make you sound like Sean Connery even if your voice is like Mickey Mouse. [Thanks Joel]

@europria:
It's new.
I also think Giz should make it know that Xvid works.

DIVX didn't work for me. I have also this space visualization(pretty cool). Is it new or was it in a previous version?

Xvid does work. Who knows what Giz was on about earlier, or where they got the idea it wouldn't.

@Namarrgon: They got that idea because all of the XviD files they tried to playback failed to playback.

I haven't down-loaded the update yet, I'll wait and let you guys get it figured out and get back on this afternoon. Isn't it great, look how well everyone is playing together w/out the 360 fanbois. You know what they say... the more you stir a turd...

Anyway on topic, This seems like a pretty good update... then again it's always nice to see more features added for free, especially when it's extended media support.

Atfter the 2.00 experience/fiasco, I am all about waiting a week or so to see what the negative side effects are (if any).
