I have to hand it to the PS3 developers, they don’t take long to get things done. It feels like firmware version 1.80 just came out, but already they are up to their second update to that one. It’s a stark contrast when you sometimes have to wait months for any sort of an update on the Xbox 360. On the other hand, it takes a good 10 minutes to perform the update…
Version 1.82 doesn’t bring about mind blowing updates, but rather an enabling of playback of AVC High Profile (H.264/MPEG-4) content. The update is available now, and you might very well be prompted to download it when you next turn your console on.
In other news, Resistance is receiving two new maps today for download, which will set you back $8. There will also be a non-related update that will enable global play as well as a slew of other enhancements.
