As of April 15, 2008, your PLAYSTATION 3 system will gain a system software update when it goes online, upgrading to version 2.30 and allowing you to access the redesigned PLAYSTATION Store (PS3) which benefits from an array of features.
Included in this revamp is a new page layout and interface for easier navigation, permitting users to move between pages faster by pressing the X and circle buttons. You can now also view your PLAYSTATION Network account avatar on the pages of PLAYSTATION Store (PS3) and the content status display page has been given icons to indicate the status of each item, showing you what has been purchased and what is currently in your checkout cart. This revamp will not affect PLAYSTATION Network accounts or the virtual wallet system, so you can take advantage of all these treats and trimmings without needing to change a thing.
System software update version 2.30 also allows Blu-ray Disc playback to support DTS-HD Master Audio and DTS-HD High Resolution Audio output - so not only are you getting the best from the Store, but also superb enhancements to your movies as well.

For those on here with a PS3 update 2.30 is now available to download to your PS3. Inc is the above and probably loads more of little features. The main bit is the Playstation Store update. Why they needed to change something that worked and was good is beyond me - but there you go. The new Blu-Rays features will be good for some
Due also soon - is the Metal Gear Solid Beta Keys - free for everyone in PAL/EU regions. Meh I ain't fussed - MGS4 is single player first and foremost for me.
