If you are a proud owner of the Sony PS3 you are getting yet another firmware update. The new Sony PS3 firmware 2.70 offers a couple of new features including text chat.

The new Sony PS3 text chat feature lets you set up a chat room, select anyone from your Friends list and invite them in – they’ll see an icon in the corner of their screen and know they’re wanted in your chat room.
Up to 16 people can join the same room to chat using a controller, a connected keyboard or a Wireless Keypad. You can start a chat while you’re halfway through a game.
Other features of the new Sony PS3 Firmware 2.70 include Dynamic Normaliser for music, Better control of the Internet, and language fixes.
The Sony PS3 firmware 2.70 is available now. Via this Sony announcement.
