Got this as latest news off Gametrailers

" www.watch.impress.co.jp/

There is no official English translation yet, but these are the confirmed features through Google translation:

- Wallpaper Support
- You can now eject discs by pressing the triangle button and selecting the eject option.
- You can now use emoticons (smilies) when sending messages over PSN.
- You can now organize your downloadable games/demos in the order you would like them to be in."

Two of things I wanted most wallpaper and organisable demos and games. Just waiting for music in games then we are all set!

The video settings in game option is awsome especially seeing rainbow six vegas plays better in 720 than 1080 so I always have to go into settings before launching it.

Does this mean if I launch my ps3 as my japanses account it'd be available?

Winnie says:

I don't think it's a good idea to download the Japanese firmware... And I don't think it's out yet there. There was a mention on the source that it comes out on the 24th, tomorrow.
