1.5 - As far as im informed...
This firmware update will bring, *Ingame screenshots. *Support/interface for the new official Sony headset. And Probably some support for home thats coming out soon.

If Cross-game invites and ingame voice chat is included I can't tell but I sure hope so.

2 - PS2 Emulator on the way.
For all those newer model's without BC as a standard feature. :) You may have to pay for it 25-50$ or something, but its worth it if you have a library of ps2 games woot!

Not sure what Gears or Halo have to do with software emulation?

Either way, it is indeed rumoured that Sony have been working on said software emulation and it will come in a future FW update, whether that's 2.5 or not, who know.

5 - This is off-topic but..
It's interesting, if you post the same exact post in two different places deliberately, the second won't appear, presumably to stop double-posting. Even if you try again and again. So you have to misspell it and then edit it back.

It smells more like an update for PlayTV to be able to see TNT in HD.

7 - I just hope 2.50...
doesn't do anything funky to my ps3 before LBP comes out. I've only had one slight problem with updates so I think things will be all good.

2.50 regardless of what it is...Hell yeah. It's been awhile since we've had an update.

I was saying don't get your hopes up to both of those guys who thought Home and PS2 emulation would come in FW 2.5.

Then I was saying how the double-posting prevention system works and how it stopped me from intentionally making 2 posts that were exactly the same.

What features will firmware 2.50 bring to the PS3?

If the screen captures are compressed then I don't care for that feature. Hopefully it's the native resolution.

Give me Private chat, firmware for the new Mic and I will be happy.

What would knock my socks off is HOME, New Flash - Or any sort of browser update. Its like Sony has abandoned its web browser.

Psp plus would be great but I think they'll release that with Resistance: Retribution since the only game so far to have confirmed support for the feature.
