In case you don't remember what was previously revealed about this new firmware, allow us to reiterate some of the highlights: DivX content can now exceed 2GB, and resume play enables PS3 to play a BD or DVD video at the point it was stopped, even if the disc had been removed. Most of all, it now adds Blu-ray Profile 2.0 support.
[Thanks to everyone who sent this in!]

If you don't know what it is, you probably don't need it. It reduces a nasty little mpeg encoding artifact.

Sorry. Uh... WHY are people so excited about this update? Yes, Profile 2.0 is great, except there are... two discs out right now that support it. I love a firmware update as much as the next guy, but compared to an update that adds something like divx support (good GOD that was nice), I don't seen the big deal here...

Resume Play is pretty nifty (although, I admit, not THIS nifty.)
If you've ever accidentally pressed Stop during DVD/BD playback, or mistakenly thought these fancy-schmancy players were already capable of "Resuming Play" (like, I dunno, every DVD player in existence) then you'll be as excited as me about this update. *party horn*
