PS3 2.5 Firmware Adding Screenshot Capability

Aug 26, 2008 (Click to Rate!) Loading ...

CVG is reporting that the 2.5 firmware update for the PS3 (coming somewhat soon, weeks? months?) will add the ability to grab screenshots of whatever you are playing.

I imagine this will need to be some magic set of keystrokes to do so, because right now not every game pauses the action when you hit the PS button to bring up the XMB, so maybe something like L1+R1+X?

I feel bad for the one game that made that the “Attack” button and come 2.5 will be unplayable

Thanks CVG!

PetFoodz, not from what I’ve seen… it was suppose to go in, but instead got integrated into individual titles and not into the platform like originally anticipated… sort of a bummer
