PlayStation 3 Firmware 2.0 Released
November 8th, 2007 . by Tommy
Sony has officially released Firmware version 2.0 for the PlayStation 3 today.
This new update enables controlling the PS3 using your Remote-Play enabled PSP (PlayStation Portable) to switch it on and access content stored on the PS3, including music, movies or photos. As long as both units are connected to the Internet, you can access your PS3 from anywhere in the world.
Other newbies:
- It’s now possible to create playlists for your music and photos.
- The XMB (Cross Media Bar) has been updated with custom themes support and easier adjustment of colors and brightness.
- A news bulletin where Sony will be keeping us up to date on current PS3-related happenings.
- The PSN (PlayStation Network) now has its own menu category.
- Other small fixes…
I also heard someone whisper on my screen that we will see in-game XMB support in the near future, and an anonymous blog-posting rabbit told me that DivX support might be on the horizon…
