Sony will today release version 4.20 of it’s PlayStation 3 software.
This update will include a few minor updates in order to strengthen functionality and improve your overall experience.
Part of the update includes improvements to the sidetone audio performance for the Wireless Stereo Headset. Sidetone was introduced in the 4.10 update and enables you to hear your own voice when playing games in mutiplayer.
You will have the option to select one out of five levels for microphone audio, or turn the feature off completely. For those of you who use the Wireless Stereo Headset to watch Blu-ray or DVD movies on your PS3, this system software update will also enable virtual surround sound functionality, giving you a superior audio experience.
This update will also allow you to set the amount of time that the system will wait before turning itself off automatically for [Video/TV/Music/Photo] and for [Game/Other Features].
Additionally, saved data management has been improved. You will now be able to select multiple saved data items and delete or copy them as a group.
Let us know when you have the update and what you think of it.
I got the update last night, so far no problems with the system.
