Those so inclined to turn on their PS3 systems this morning were greeted with instructions to update to the latest firmware version, that being 1.54, which unlocks many new magical abilities of Sony's futuristic video game box. After a little poking about, I found a list of changes over at the PlayStation.com forums.
* The image of the person you are chatting with during video chat can now be changed to match the screen size.
* You can now use a USB camera compatible with USB video class (UVC) for video chat.
They delayed my morning Virtua Fighter 5 fix for this? Hardly worthy of a whole .01, but I suppose somewhere out there who uses their PS3 for video chat that is just tickled pink right now. As an added bonus, one of our readers named Phil found that after applying the update his 160GB HDD upgrade was no longer recognized.
