Sony Computer Entertainment released a new firmware upgrade for its PS3 game console.

Version 1.82 adds support for AVC H.264/MPEG-4 High Profile playback. The specific video format is supported by Canon's HDC-SD3 as well as by Panasonic's iVIS HR10 AVCHD cameras. In addition, the format is part of the Blu-Ray Disc specifications.

The new firmware is currently available at Sony's website (Japanese). Sony is expected to release the v1.82 software update for the rest of the world in the following days.
