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?

After updating this f… firmware 2.50 the brand new black box is repeatedly freezing especially when exiting the store or switching between internet. This did not occur with 2.36 before 2.50. I have to hard reset my PS3 and it has got me really worried. It freezes and the XMB does not appear. The web browser is even more prone to freezes/crashes as is using the on screen keyboard or not also I am getting a lot of connection errors as well.
Media Server with tversity and wrt54gs DOESNT work great on wpa security (but my iPhone run strong with same files…)
Is it impossible now to install Linux with any wireless wpa connexion, nothing run because sony hypervisor fake…
Dont know what , but something is wrong with this f… 2.50 firmware.
Sony you have to move ass because you will have many open box on parking…
well since downloading 2.50 I have had no probs at all. Now there is the 2.52 update and still I have no problems.everything is running good for me.
The 2.52 update totally fixed all my issues, nice one Sony for sorting that out!

.. even since then the 2.52,my ps3 been frezin’ alot even playin’ on line..that sucks ne1 have ne problems contak me..CLERT1 that’s my ID name..
i still cant download it
2.50 has passed. Now we have 2.52 out and you’re still having problems? Dlyan…either you’re having a really bad network connection or it’s a sign for you to stop whining and take actions like getting your unit serviced at your nearest Sony Dealer.(don’t attempt to get if fixed at any ‘ol repair shop) Btw, I’ve never had any problems of any sort with v.2.50 and I’m currently running off 2.50 still without any problems. My opinion on the DivX VOD feature on the PS3 is that it’s just pointless to have it right now until the PSN starts releasing it’s downloadable content. Why not hold that extra feature till then?
