Sony may launch a new firmware update for the PlayStation 3 tomorrow. The update is rumored to include a new feature for the messaging and game invite system; however, we cannot confirm that at this time.
ThatGamerAccess spotted an update on the SCEA press information website, which apparently included a 2.80 debug file. ThatGamerAccess also took a screenshot of the webpage, but the image certainly could be photoshopped. We checked out the SCEA press website for ourselves, and while we don’t see the same information, it’s standard for such material to be quickly removed to avoid spreading unannounced information.
In addition, The Examiner is reporting that the new firmware 2.80 will primarily provide basic updates, including fixes to increase performance such as faster Trophy synchronization and quicker XMB load times.
We’ll be sure to give you the full details if and when Sony announces firmware 2.80.
