Sony have today announced that version 2.20 of the Playstation 3 firmware will be released towards the end of March. The update will see the PS3 being upgraded to Blu-ray Disc Profile 2 as well as a number of new features and enhancements such as:

“Audio Output Device” will be a new Remote Play setting, enabling PSP to serve as a remote control for music played through PS3.
-
PS3’s Internet browser will be enhanced: Video files directly linked from a Web page will be able to be streamed, and the browser’s view speed will be improved.
-
DivX and WMV format videos that are larger than 2GB will be playable.

“Mosquito Noise Reduction” will be added as an AV setting in the control panel of the DVD/BD player for improved movie playback.
