Firmware 2.70 is now available for the PS3, hopefully there won’t be any problems occurring with the update. The most noticeable upgrade is the text chat, wherein you can chat up to 15 friends who are online while playing PS3 games. Here are the other features posted from the Playstation blog.

Friends list on the XMB (XrossMediaBar)

• Sort your friends via their online status
• Attach larger files to the messages you send to your friends (file size will increase from 1MB to 3MB)

Video delivery service on PlayStation Store

• Video files you’ve purchased from the PlayStation Store can be backed up to an external storage device and then restored to PS3’s internal hard drive for playback – so you can clear up space on your hard drive and then restore the video anytime in the future
• Videos you’ve purchased for PSP (PlayStation Portable) system can now be transferred to PS3 for playback
