PLAYSTATION 3 owners looking to get online were greeted with a new firmware update today, bringing the system software up an extra hundredth of a point to 1.51. So what thrilling changes are in store for those of us looking for new enticing functionality from our PS3s?

This, apparently.

New for 1.51: Support for PLAYSTATION 3 format software titles has been expanded.

Err. What? We've heard reports of some PlayStation 2 software backward compatability issues being resolved, but those aren't listed in the official changelog. We'll see if we can get to the bottom of what "expanded" support we can now enjoy. Michael McWhertor
