Following the release of Firmware 2.50 today, PSU.com contacted Sony for more details on the screen capture feature and how this function will be supported by present and future PlayStation 3 titles.
"There aren't any games that support the screenshot capability just yet, but we know there's a lot of excitement among PS3 owners for this feature and would expect developers to begin offering it moving forward," a company representative said.
"Supporting titles will be announced in the future."
Despite this, we’d be willing to bet that titles such as LittleBigPlanet, MotorStorm Pacific Rift, and Resistance 2 will support this feature either at launch or via a post release patch.
Stay tuned for more details as they break.

Comeon hurry up with patches for it!!
Little Big Plnaet Please
I'm bitterly disapointed with this because I was expecting the PS3 to take the screen shots not the games.
i hope socom can do this.
Hopefully there will be more titles for sceen capture.
MotorStorm Pacific Rift already has a Photo Mode. Don't know if it uses the new standard but it's in there.
this update suks, theres no flash so u cant watch videos and theres no home and theres no ps2 capability i mean whats all this fuss about?
reincarnate not that you'll read this but flash 9 was added in this update as well., so no no-ones sheep
i cant download the update :(((
it keeps saying " the latest version of the system software is already installed, there is no need to update " and i have 2.43 !!!!!!!!!!!
i was downloading the 2.50 in the morning and then a messge poped up and said " network error " and from then i coulding re-try to download it again :(((
anyone knows wats wrong with my ps ?
yes thats good but still waiting for games that have that music playback thing!!
Oh nuts, I was hoping I could take some screen shots of COD4 and MGS4 by the end of the day. Well at least they have the technology in place for future games.
has anybody checked if the flash 9 includes videos from newgrounds because my ps3 couldn´t watch them after the internet updated flash and we were behind
@ 11...
ur best option would be to buy a usb drive and download the update from ur computer put it on their then plug it into ur PS3 and just download it like that.
thats what i usually do.
Heres the catch , i got my new refurb ps3 last week which was gimped and had overheating issues the next day , so i went got another refurb , came home worked fine before 2.42 , i downloaded 2.50 same day and as soon as i did it it stopped reading discs !!!! WTF !!!!!! fk u sony
Well, judging by in-game music, game devs are not very good at patching their games. There's still a lot of games lacking trophies.
If a feature requires games to be patched I consider it a broken feature.
It would be nice if all games supported this. Don’t expect Call of Duty 4 to have this function, though. They wouldn’t even bring us In-Game music or trophies. Those bastards! I bet only a handful of games will use this function. What a shame.
@ 3 i thought that too but i guess i was wrong
It was a mistake to announce this as an upcoming feature and NOT to announce the Flash 9 up front... "in games that support it" isn't a system feature... Well, it can be (trophies) but screenshots that are game specific aren't a system feature, they're obviously a GAME feature... Lame.
psn id: gingo... it would be great to get a big picture of a chimera getting its head sniped off in the fareyes slow down mode
I hope Dead Space will be patched for this if not already including this feature.. EA has been doing surprisingly good things lately. Let's hope they keep it up!
Yes, I know it from www.google.com
someone tell why do we need this?
Well, while not a game, Linger in Shadows can capture screens which are saved directly to your Photos in the XMB as well as videos
LOL @18, went straight for the porn. Anyway, I'd imagine the system update allows the screen capture to take place, but if the game doesn't support taking that image and sending it to the hard drive, then nothing would happen. As things are, when you are playing a game it is only able to save things to the harddrive with it's game-saving feature, so the system and the game must agree on what to do with screen shots before they can be taken.
.......I dunno why Sony cant just have these things as active addons that run from the system. Cause really no body is ever going to write the code into games no matter how easy it is developers just aint gon do it.
What about the custome soundtracks? Can't use it cause aint no body usin the fricken code in the games.
Just make them background protocols DAMMIT Sony, DAMMIT!
Resistance already does support it. My bet would be that resistance 2 has it right out of the box
Dudes....Warhawk have in-game-music and MGS4 already have screenshoots with the camera in the game so you can exo´port the pics into the game. But i agree that more games needs this functions so i hope for more patches to the games so we all can have in-game-music and screen capture^^
Little big planet R2 Woohoo
the problem with the PS3 system taking the shots is you would have to somehow designate a key on your controller to make the capture, other than that the PS3 would be more than capable of doing it, the problem is the lack of dedicated (print screen style) key. even incorporating it into a game will be interesting to see what sort of button config or combo they will use to make the capture, or maybe they will implement something within the pause menu.
i think that sony/playstation are being stupid and not making sure it supports every games just like with the trophies except which makes it worse that you have to do the game all over again. JESE when are they gona get it rite for 1 once
