Updates can also be installed from game discs that require the update to run the game.[124]

The latest version of the software, version 2.17, was released on March 13, 2008 and features some minor bug fixes.[125] The prior update, version 2.10, was released on December 18, 2007.[126] This update made the PS3 compatible with Blu-ray profile 1.1, added a new music visualization, added the ability to change voice pitch in the console’s chat function, and added support for DivX, XviD,[127] and VC-1 (WMV) codecs.[128] Version 2.01 was released on November 19, 2007 and fixed some of the stability issues with the PS3’s network connection and repaired some problems with Remote Start.[129]

Version 2.00, released on November 8, 2007, added the ability to customize the XMB using themes; support for the DualShock 3 controller; the ability to create custom playlists for music and photos; more options for grouping content under XMB tabs, and the ability to remotely turn the PS3 on and off from a PSP using Remote Play.[130]

The PlayStation 3 also includes the ability to install other operating systems[131] such as Linux.[132]
