Quote:The PS3firmware update (v2.60) is designed primarily to enhance the system?s media capabilities. The key feature is a new Photo Gallery application, which delivers a suite of tools for sorting through and displaying your digital photo collection. Digital pictures can be organized in groups according to various criteria, including the camera used to take the photos, the event date and time, colors in the photos, as well as the number, ages, or facial expressions of the people pictured. You can also create slideshows set to music and build photo playlists with an easy-to-use interface. The Photo Gallery application will need to be installed separately from the XMB after you update your PS3?s firmware. To install the Photo Gallery application, go to the Photo section on the XMB, select Photo Gallery and press the X button.
The 2.60 update also includes:
* Guest access to PlayStation Store ? This enables non-PlayStation Network members to browse through the storefront to check out the latest games, demos, videos, etc.
* DivX 3.11 support ? Videos in this format can now be played on PS3.
Has anyone tried the new Photo Gallery feature? I'm downloading it right now, but the update size seems to be huge..

It's really not that big. Had mine downloaded and installed in under 5 minutes if that.
Mine slowed to a crawl, too, and I assumed it was a size thing, as well.
...then I realized my brother was downloading something else, too. Duh me.
But that lil' extra is what piques my interest more than the photo gallery thing - what can I say? I don't have many photos to store on the Black Brick of Awesome.
DivX 3.11 support... is it that DivX 3.11 is the latest version of DivX? Or is it that the PS3 can now play those DivX movies that were causing so many issues before?
