** PS3 Firmware 2.0 is OUT NOW

Cows go update your systems! :)

Installing

Here's what it does, plus more:

Once activated, you'll notice scrolling headlines in the upper right-hand corner of your screen. We'll be delivering the latest news on new games, PLAYSTATION Store updates, hardware, accessories and lots more through the Information Board. Click on the Information Board icon and you'll be able to see all of the headlines and click through for more detail. The headlines and associated stories will be updated on a regular basis. You can choose not to display the Information Board, but you never know what you might miss, so I'd recommend keeping it on.

We've added a nice enhancement to Remote Play called Remote Start, to use Remote Play locally or from a Wi-Fi hotspot, you needed to make sure that your PS3 was on. With Remote Start this is no longer necessary. As long as your PS3 is in standby mode, you'll be able to turn your PS3 on remotely via the PSP. You can then use Remote Play to access media on your PS3, and when you're finished you can put your PS3 back into standby mode.

Another feature we've added with this update is the ability to set themes on your PS3. Themes will change the whole look of your XMB; the background, icons, and in some cases sounds on your XMB will completely change. We will be providing themes on PlayStation.com and through the PLAYSTATION Store. Once you have downloaded a theme, under Settings go to Theme Settings, select Theme and then choose a theme to display or install a new theme. We are also providing the ability for you to get creative and make your own original themes.

We've also added a new way to organize your photos and music on the PS3 - you can now create custom playlists for all of your music and photos.

Finally, regular readers of this blog may have noticed that I'm using a new avatar. You will see that logo above on your XMB representing the new PLAYSTATION Network category. You'll find the PLAYSTATION Store and Account Management in this category.

We've added several other features in this update. I'll soon be back with more details with a quick video demo of some of the new features.

As always thanks for all of your support and feedback

Awesome...now where is my Uncharted demo? :DNAPK1NS

you cow have been starving that you find such delight in a simple firmware update. I'd be happy about custom plalist too if I didn't have a AAA all year.amorbis1001

Anyway, between playing games I do like good system updates for my console that further expand its experience.

Downloading now and it's going fairly quick (already 28% in less than 2 minutes).jimm895

haaa xbox live dashboard updates take about 10 seconds to download, this is taking f'in forever then of course you have to install it, things work so much better on live. But seriously this is the big 2.0 update? A news ticker and a new psn category??? hhaha this is a joke. I want in game-xmb so ps3 can come somewhat close to xbox in terms of basic functionality

what playing AAAe games? oh wait.

wait a sec, why does the ps3 take so long for a simple update? the 360 takes like less than 20 seconds for itsmajor updates, nearly instantly for game updates. And its not like this is big

Onthis subject, the fall update for the 360 is pretty nice. So far its confirmed that theresgoing to be a play timer ( i dont care) butmore importantlyuniversal clansupport..its coming in december

If it is that'd be cool, but I'm to busy playing COD4 to care about a 9hr long game w/ no multiplayer...will rent it in dec. though.

Ownage still stands, you didn't answer my question :P

not really, 360 had cross game voice chat, which ps3 still doesnt have for some inexplicable reason, and you can make custom soundtracks but not for in game, something 360 did in 2002....360 has 3 times the online features sony has now when it launched and granted it only got better and better.

this download is slow as hell though, dunno whats up. might just be every ps3 user trying to download, might pause and wait on it, play more cod4. see ya on warhawk or something ;)

haha its soooo funny how people always go back to that arguement, becasue what other arguement is there for ps3 being better then 360. Pretty sad considering majority of xbox's dont break, suprisingly. I heard the new 40 gb isnt doing too well in reliabilty, but you dont see people going around bashing ps3 for it, cause they dont have to, theres already soo many other things they can bash the ps3 for.

No confirmation on the 40GB either, that was BS.

you cow have been starving that you find such delight in a simple firmware update. I'd be happy about custom plalist too if I didn't have a AAA all year.amorbis1001

They just got one yesterday, or is there some law saying cows are not allowed to play multipplats??

If you had a 360 you wouldn't defend the ps3 so much, I like the fact that you can turn on and off the ps3 with the psp. i wish you could stream dvd's from the ps3 to the psp not just videos that are on the hard drivecarsales

I like theuser generated themes,that is kinda cool considering you have tobuy them off of XBL. Hopefully it can hitoff.

"lmao

LMAO at not a single exclusive AAA game, see for every hardware problem MS has compared to sony ( NO Bluetooth, blueray, RROD) it more then makes up for with software (live destroys PSN in every way, the guide button ACTUALLY has a very useful purpose, , dashboard kills xmb, marketplace kills ps store, and ohh yeah most importantly it has way more amazing games, not to say ps3 doesnt have any, they are just all multplat)

Isn't there still not XMB in-game?

[QUOTE="rocktimusprime"][QUOTE="Liquid-GEAR"]

Like I said, I owned you lol You know how? Its take Xbox 5 years to get where its at. PS3 seems to be moving at a faster pace within less than a year ;)

So what you're implying is that the 360 started originally from the first xbox? And why are you not comparing that to the first playstation? Which has been out for a much longer time. Your logic astounds me.
