PS3 2.0 Coming November 8th
Sony has finally announced official details on firmware update 2.0 for the Playstation 3. So far, they’ve announced the ability to turn on the console using a PSP, custom photo and music playlists, XMB themes, Playstation news ticker (RSS?), and Trend Micro Web Security. PSU is reporting it will be out Thursday (November 8th).
This is far from what estimates placed the update as being, however, past firmware updates for any Sony console have never included as much as 2.0 was rumored to include. I expect more of the rumored features will be added in the 2.xx line. It’s also possible that all features for update 2.0 have not been announced yet. Stay tuned.
