One of the biggest PS3 requests since launch has been background downloading. It's certainly no fun waiting around to play your console while while it takes its sweet time with a lengthy download. The upcoming 1.6 update promises to put an end to the issue and make your PS3 the multi-tasking monster that you've demanded.
The 1.6 update release date is not yet known, but we feel confident that it will hit within the next 45 days. If background downloading doesn't excite you, Sony is also promising some additional goodies. According to Phil Harrison, "The only thing I can talk about is that background downloading will be part of the 1.6 upgrade. There's a bunch of other stuff, but Kawanishi-san would kill me if I was to reveal all of the details."
Any guesses as to what the other features might be?
