News \ PlayStation 1.7 firmware released

For all of the PlayStation 3 owners out on the web, Sony has just released the newest firmware update for their console, version 1.70. While the update has not been officially released on Sony's official website, when your download completes on the PlayStation 3 it reads the following updates have be installed:

Updates:

- PSOne downloaded games are now playable on the PS3

- Saves from the PS3 can now be used on the PSP (I.E PSOne saves)

- Vibration support has been added to emulated PS1 and PS2 titles.
( All older titles now support vibration when you put the disc in your PlayStation 3)

UPDATE: It appears that you will still need a PSP to download PSOne titles at the moment. Hopefully Sony will fix this hiccup soon. ( You must have your PSP connected through USB mode to download titles still)
