Rumor: PlayStation 3 firmware 2.0 out by October 30?
If this recent rumor is to be believed, it looks like Sony‘s planning to rapid-fire their PlayStation 3’s firmware to version 2.0 by October 30. The update is rumored to add new features to the PS3’s functions including a music and picture playlist as well as XMB customization. Here’s a rundown of firmware 2.0’s supposed tweaks:
- Turn your PS3 on and off with PSP Remote play
- A new PlayStation Network category
- A TV Category for those who install PlayTV into their HDD (SCEE only).
- Playlist for Music & Photo
- Content group for Video & Game
- XMB customization (Custom theme & background color setting)
- Information Board
- Trend Micro Web Security Security for PS3 internet browser
Once again, we remind the readers that this is still a rumor. It will be noted that the next scheduled PS3 firmware update is for version 1.94, which will add DualShock 3 support for the system. At the moment, North America’s PlayStation site has yet to post 1.94 as a downloadable. Keep alert in case we find any related updates.
