I am very happy with my PS3 .. ? about WMA playback and firmware update - Blu-ray Forum

I've already enabled WMA playback and I found you only need to connect to the internet when you enable it and then you can disconnect and you're all set. I was wondering though (especially since I do my firmware updates offline through a CD or USB flash drive), if you need to re-enable WMA playback every time you update the firmware. If you do need to re-enable WMA every time, then I figure I'll just update the firmware less often (it's just a hassle for me to connect and disconnect cables as I don't have a router)

TIA.

PS. I love how the PS3 is trayless. Was the PS2 like that too? Trays are easy to break IMO.

the original ps2 was ran with a tray but the latter slim model was a top load like the old ps1

Once you've enabled WMA and ATRAC playback they're permanently enabled, even after System Software updates.
