Although Sony has yet to even confirm the existence of a new PS3 firmware update, CVG claims that a development source has told them that the next update v2.5 will add screen-grabbing functionality.

No more details have been given, but we assume that this will mean we'll be able to take shots of ourselves, maybe sitting in our underwear or pulling silly faces, and then upload them to the server to share with our friends or maybe use them as a backdrop to the user interface.

Until Sony confirms, treat his rumour with a heavy pinch of salt.

What I'd like to see is the ability to take screenshots of gameplay (like on the PC using FRAPS or PrtScrn). That would be sweet, particularly with games like MGS4 or Tiger Woods 09. Both game's grapjics would make for some brilliant wallpapers for the UI. :mrgreen:
They should bring this to the 360, there have been so many funny moments on GTA4 online.
What button would they map the screen grab functionality to?
