More new features ae coming to the PlayStation 4 - including the ability to back your downloaded games up to external media.

This week we have been reporting on some of the new additions and features that are being added with the PS3 firmware version 2.50. The good news is that the Firmware update has officially gone live. That's right, you can go and get it right now, if you haven't done so already. Along with the ability to take screenshots in compatible games, we also know that support for Flash 9 has been added. So if you don't have it, go get it now!

Along with various other additions and improvements, Sony have announced that the new 2.50 Firmware for the Playstation 3 is going to add support for Flash 9. Welcome to a world of Youtube, Flash games and tons of annoying adverts! But seriously, this is going to be a fantastic addition, especially with the fact that Sony has now officially launched a YouTube channel specifically for the PS3. A list of additional improvements, after the jump. * Pads and the PS3 itself now have tweakable power-save settings for turning off after a period of inactivity. * You can tell the PS3 to power down once it's finished downloading or installing content. * In-game screenshots can be taken in compatible games. * It enables high-quality mode for the official PS3 Bluetooth headset. * The Trophy interface has been improved, so you can see you and your friends' progress more easily. * Friends now have their last login time listed. * Videos now have a scene search feature. * There's a button on the PlayStation Store frontpage for redeeming codes.
