PS3 Firmware 2.10 Coming Tomorrow With Divx Support In Tow

Tomorrow, December 18th, PS3 owners who attempt to log on to the Playstation Network will be prompted to upgrade to the latest firmware, version 2.10. According to posters on NeoGAF's gaming discussion forums linking to a now non existent page on the European Playstation website, the new update features long awaited support for the Divx format, further enhancing the Playstation 3's media streaming capabilities. Unfortunately, there are a few minor drawbacks, as files encoded in Divx version 3.11 and higher as well as those larger than 2 GB will not play.

Other features in this media friendly update include support for Type 3 music bitmapping, support for WMV playback, Blu Ray Profile 1.1 and a "Voice Changer" which, as its name suggests, allows you to mask your voice.
