After rumours and subtle hints Eric Lempel let know what feature we could expect from the next ‘big’ update.
By using a keyboard (on-screen or usb/bluetooth) or keypad, you’ll be able to chat with up to 15 friends (16 including you) in your friend list (PlayStation’s version of MSN/AIM?). You will also be able to chat in three rooms at the same time and access Text Chat when playing a game.
But that’s not the only thing it’s bringing. You’ll also be able to sort your friends via their online status. Add to that a increase of file attachment to messages.
For the people in the US (or with a US PSN account), Video files you’ve purchased from the PlayStation Store can be backed up to an external storage device and then restored to PS3’s internal hard drive for playback – so you can clear up space on your hard drive and then restore the video anytime in the future. Also videos you’ve purchased for PlayStation Portable system can now be transferred to PS3 for playback.
Check the clip out, to see how you will be using these new features.
