2.1.7 PS3: Latest Firmware patch allows PS2 games to be installed to the Hard Drive

ps3

Listen to this! According to the Japanese PlayStation.com page, today’s update also allowed users to put PlayStation 2 game installs on the PS3’s hard drive. That’s besides stabilizing PS3 software. So, there ya go!

Eds Note: So according to Strategy Informer: “Seems that the Japanese website is actually detailing information about compatibility with Final Fantasy XI, which required a HDD for the PS2. So, any games that require HDD installs for the PS2 will now work on the PS3.” Cruuuuuuud. Nothing to get *that* excited about! Well, unless you’re stoked to play FFXI on your PS3 it is.

According to the PS Blog, firmware 2.17 deals with improving the operating stability of some online PS3 titles. They do not say what titles specifically, but last time they posted a small (read: vague) update like this it helped out Warhawk, which was probably one of the most popular titles at the time on the PS3. I’m not much of a betting man, but I would have to say that maybe this dealt with issues with COD4 possibly?? And to go a little further out on the limb, maybe it was done in anticipation of releasing the much needed COD4 patch that they have yet to officially certify?
