[gamer]

Firmware updates may not be the sexiest thing to come out of the PLAYSTATION 3 camp, but audiophiles and videophiles looking to justify their $599 investment look forward to them with great delight. Impress AV Watch—sister site to Game Watch—recently spoke with two of the engineers on the PS3 firmware team, Sony Computer Entertaiment CTO Kawanishi and AV bigwig Kanehide who reveal a good deal about the past, present and future of the system's non-game capabilities.
In addition to clearing up misconceptions about in-game soundtrack support which is already in place, the duo hint at future firmware updates that will further improve DVD and Blu-ray upscaling, provide Wake On LAN support and much much more.
