IT'S OUT TODAY!!!

UK Resistance have summarised it for us:

FIRMWARE 2.0 SAVES PLAYSTATION3!
Version 2.0 of Sony's PS3 firmware lets you CHANGE THE COLOUR of the media blade! You can also have UNLIMITED music playlists now! You may also TURN ON YOUR PS3 while not even in the house by using your PSP! These are the innovative features gamers have been crying out for!

Sony is back, back, BACK!

And there's more info at Three Speech.

Odd how they left that feature off the list.

what a bunch of happy people

There was ment to be a 1.94 update to include the rumble but that was cancelled and included into the 2.00 (although it's only what's been said), i dont know how true it is because i'm waiting until 11th to get my pad, also i think there is an update for resistance FOM to included support for the rumble. Still its a crap update and dosent do much. But i'm happy

I have a Japanese PS3. To update it do I need to go through the jap site and download firmware onto a flash card before install (like I did before) or will it find it if I plug it into the network and let it go online to look for it ?

[gtech]

Not too sure with a jap ps3, i have a us version, but as soon as you go online then try to access the store it asks for you to update the firmware and then does it automatically.

If thats in the UK, then it must work the same.

[PenguinJim]

Yeah, Sony treats all territories the same.

[directhex]

sorta disappointed that the new theme isn't animated like the default one

[jabski]

rumble will be good once GT5 comes out

[pauldarkside]

Yeah, Sony treats all territories the same.

You are being sarcastic right?

[PenguinJim]

Damn, you saw through me! (Although it's only fair to mention that Nintendo hates Europeans too)

[Crazytom]

Theres a custom theme dev kit you can download as well, which looks pretty good, if a lil too complex and time consuming for the average user...
