Finally, Sony will release the official 2.53 update for Sony Playstation 3 tomorrow. The update supports full-screen Flash player, so you can watch YouTube videos on your home TV, but only if you’re into huge garbled pixels. [Dotgizmo]
Grace Chen, the Senior Manager at Sony, has posted a demo video of the Playstation PSP 5.0 firmware update. Watch the video after the jump. [Ubergizmo] More
The upcoming Sony PlayStation 4 will feature a faster Cell chip (up to 3.2GHz) and a small size Chip (from a 90 nanometer process down to 45 nanometers) with a higher cores from 8 to 12. The new console will use a low-power DDR3 instead of the very fast but expensive Rambus XDR memory in the PS3. Stay tuned for more updates. [Impress]
The sequel to an earlier version of PSP has been rumoured to have important upgrades. These upgrades are notably the waterproof feature, dust proof, crushproof, and cellphone support with built in microphone. You could expect the PSP to be working in prime condition even after being submerged into the water, or ran over by car (we do not advice the latter though). No official specs have been released.
