PS3 Firmware 4.20 Finally Drops


Submitted by Demonchild; June 26, 2012


At the top of the month, some speculation began when Sony posted a product page for their upcoming Pulse Wireless Radio Headset. They made reference to the headset requiring firmware 4.20 to be installed on the PS3. At the time, that firmware did not exist. It stayed that way until today.

Sony gave their usual pre firmware release announcement yesterday and have released firmware 4.20 at the crack of midnight. Are there any big updates in the latest 4.20 Firmware release?  The major change for the firmware is that the "Sidetone" feature that has been the center of feedback for users who use the Wireless Stereo Headset, has been improved. With this, you are now able to select five levels of microphone audio as well as being able to disable Sidetone completely. That's not all in that alley as the virtual sound functionality has also been enabled for the movie watchers.

Away from the headset, you can now set different idle power off times when you are viewing media or playing a game and that you can select multiple savedata files for whatever operations you perform with them.

You can grab the latest firmware from the usual spots - System Update or via Storage Media.

I wish the Wireless headset came with an UPDATE that allowed audio to come out of my TV aswell. Sometimes I play with a friend and just wanna use my MIC but the he can"t hear the sound. WTF SONY is it really coming to that you want us to buy 2 systems to play with afriend. I mean already there are very few SPLIT screen games

 ok lock is update update how  recovre system all fromwar        or    camera is backup


I've got the idea of the camera can not communicate with the ps3 and can convert the inside of images (formula software) image path is stable and Batalli file can be created for the Criteria for 3.55


Or ask Sony to develop its services and within Hazh download games in Alhardisek without copying the tape and records the number of times one
