Best update ever! lol

People are saying that it could hit as early as tomorrow, but I'm not holding my breath.
 
Upscaling doesn't even make a noticeable difference anyway. After seeing an upconverted DVD i'm just not getting excited about that anymore. If these updates are true, then it will be some features that are definitely needed. I wish we could play music in games though. They better get shit going soon.
 
- XMB™ (XrossMediaBar) is now accessible during gameplay.

finally :)

It would also be nice if a custom background can be set, alas thats for some other update...

edit: Nevermind, I take that back. They are including a wallpaper option. Sweet :)
 
I cannot find anything about this PS3 2.0 firmware update. All i find is PSP 2.0 updates. You sure about this?

Speak for yourself. With the right setup upscaled DVDs can bring the right SD title to near HD quality. You might not care for upconversion, but its a feature that many PS3 users would welcome with open arms.
 
For someone that doesn't have a PS3 yet, can anybody explain the exciting bits here?

I see a lot of stuff but don't understand what most of it is!
 
I'd think that the main things most people want are up-conversion of PS1/2 games and DVD's as well as the ability to access the menu from within games. Right now when you hit the PS button in a game, it gives you the option to quit a game, change the controller, power down the system, and such. While that's not bad, it's a far cry from the 360's menu.

Top things I am mostly looking forward too...So now this means you can get to your global friends list from in-game...sweet.
 
Okay, the scoop:

The details were originally posted by a poster in the official PlayStation 3 forums. Not just any poster, mind you, but by the very same poster that USUALLY updates the official update thread (which they revise every time a new update is released). I don't know if she had mod/admin status (could be possible), but she's been 100% reliable up until now, and after her post was posted, it was taken down within an hour by another mod/admin.

That's the story.
 
hehehe sounds awesome

Sounds like the only thing ive been doing on the ps3 has been updating it lol :D :D

ya never, its a fake. its amazing how unvalidated news fly's across the internet. psu stole the info from a post on the playstation forums and ran with it. she said her account got hacked and that whatever was posted is a lie
 
I dont know still...Its amazing for that to be a lie. Its not like there was a major change in it...I bet it was a leak.
 
On the NEOGAF forums some one posted something about the update, and seems to be true.
 
check official ps forum. dont know how much more proof you need than that...it makes me wonder how old some of the people on these sites are honestly. after the chick said it was fake theres still more speculation that the "hacker" is trying to cover up his initial "hack" or sony paid her off to keep theyre secret.

anonymity is the worst thing about the internet, you cant see the nut cases for who they are

For sure. It's not as if they came out and said that they're making Wii compatibility or something. :D

Yes. I too would agree they must not have a life to make up such a large detailed list.
