The Sony PS3 update 2.50 is now available and comes with a host of new features, one of which is DivX VOD. I have not had time to download my update yet, so will have to wait a while until I can see how good the update is.
Video on Demand’ is a digital video delivery service that lets you rent or purchase DivX movies from any of our licensed VOD partners. It is hoped that Sony will soon start to DivX for PS Store downloads, but that will be in the future.
Have you had a chance to download the Sony PS3 firmware update 2.50 yet, if so let us know what your thoughts are?

i have just downloaded and fully tested works great power managmnet flash 9 for better website compatability smoother xmb a way more responsive PSN Store the divx VOD does require activation by creating a divx account and downloading an activation video then playing on the system (i burnt it to dvd and played it from the disc) also i like the Interface change on the gamer profiles
Its made all of the videos on my hard drive play in black & white
took the update now my ps3 is freezing and going black everything was fine before called sony they said 1out of 5 calls say the same thing.
if you have video on your hd don’t get if you have an sd tv unless you like black and white.l found out the hard way
i have tryed it about 5 times now and i am really getting annoyed with it because wen i try and install 2.50 it tkes about 5 hours to get to 50 % and then it goes off and then i turn the ps3 bk on and it says error summin and do u want to install again
anyone else had this problem ?
plz sum1 tell me wat ti do because i reaallly wanna play online ?
I downloaded 2.50 yesterday, i also have same problem with my videos showing only in black and white plus small difference in sound.. I really hope that Sony fixes this bug fast, because this is not what i payed for. Also im very disappointed over the freezing of GTA IV still not fixed, i thought they were gonna be more serious this time…and while im at it, why is there no peer to peer in this update, soon ps3 will be a dusty box in everyones attic because none of the real perks announced has actually been released.. i urge people to start mailing sony complaining about this lack of good updates.
downloading right now!!! hope i dont get all the errors your getting…
dowload the update but cant acsess ps store acc.managment error keeps popin up
MAJOR ISSUE- The update will not allow me to view american downloaded tv shows - such as south park, family guy, etc….worked fine before the update but now are black and white (Prob an ntsc to pal issue….but only just happened since the update) all my english downloaded videos work fine….
NOT HAPPY!!!!
this is bull$%!^! it’s completly stoped my current divx movies from working correctly! (black and white, funny lines at the top of my screen) i diddnt pay R6000 for this. What gives?
