Editing ★ Debug Settings

The [[★ Debug Settings|Debug Settings]] (''stylized as'' [[★ Debug Settings]]) describes additional preferences in the Settings Menu, which are only avaiable on [[SKU Models Nonretail|Nonretail]] consoles. It is already in use for the [http://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/DEX_Options PlayStation 3] and gives on both consoles the possibility for developers to debug and examine several tasks, such for [[Game Titles|Games]], Applications & Blu-ray-Authoring (on PlayStation 3).
