Sony say that PS3 Firmware update 2.50 will build upon the foundation of previous updates, that is great in theory but the software updates never go smoothly. Firmware Update 2.50 for the PlayStation 3 is all set and now ready for download, so you had better get going.
The new update could be a good one, offering exclusive options for support for official wireless headsets, like an on-screen indicator that shows volume, battery charge, and mute functions. There is also a High Quality (HQ) mode. The HQ mode helps to improve the voice chat experience.
The best feature for me has to be the new Flash 9 support; this means that you are able to browse web pages with full Flash support. The 2.50 update also has an enhanced the user interface for PS3 Trophies.
Only time will tell if Sony PS3 firmware update 2.50 is any good, or if it has any bugs. Let us know what your thoughts are.

when i updated 2.40 the writing became crystal clear but when 2.50 it turned blurry again im not sure but i think y have 2 get rid of the AV cable and use an HDMI cable
Any Tips?
True story: My Ps3 lens broke down, so we send it back to Sony. After 3 weeks trying to send it back and 4 weeks waiting for the repairs.. They gave us a brand new one today. So I was happy and quickly went home where I connected it. It seems the update 2.50 was out and I had to update. Well, sure. I got no choise because it will block everything else, though I’d rather play my games inmediatly at the moment. During the download a red screen appeared, showing the ps3 has a software error that can’t be fixed. I get this screen just if I start it up. I HAVEN’T DONE ANYTHING BUT DOWNLOADING THE UPDATE! The electricity didn’t fall out or anything.. I’m trying to reach the shop on phone as I type this…
it says flash player 9 is on my ps3 but.. it does not work. when i try a web game from gaiaonline call zomg it say i need to update my flash player to 9. so it may as well not exist cause it dont work
Doesn’t work for me, either. I don’t care -what- version is on my PS3 now, what I do care about is that I can’t load flash video from http://www.cwtv.com and http://www.abc.com. The error varies between “Incorrect Flash Version” and “Operating System Not Supported”
