News \ FW 2.30 & Store Update Next Week
Firmware 2.30 will be released along with the PS Store Update On The 15th April
Firmware 2.30
The only features announced for 2.30 other than the Store Update are….
DTS-HD Master Audio & DTS-HD High Resolution Audio output for Blu-ray videos.
For more info on DTS-HD Master Audio & DTS-HD High Resolution Audio check out www.dts.com/
Other features maybe included in 2.30 such as the long awaited HOME as www.ps3fanboy.com/ are reporting that its available for download “via some proxy server shenanigans“.
While only a rumour/prediction if true anyone looking forward to HOME might be in for a surprise.
PS Store Update
.
Below is a video demo of the revamped PS Store.
From the video it doesn’t sound like there will be any new content on the Store when the update is applied but normal Thursday updates will continue starting the 17th April. Lets hope theres some new games.

Don't get your hopes up - everyone rekons home will be out in 2.40, not in this week's 2.30...
though there is no evidence either way... :/
So if you can cope with the dissapointment, hope away!

I don't really care about the aesthetics of the Store update, just hearing her say it will be faster at the end of the video makes it worth while, cheers for the news! 
EDIT: With the inclusion of DTS-HD; will we hear any significant change with audio? Or do you need high-end or similar speakers to notice a real difference?

how can anyone's ps3's be gathering dust though? it doesn't quite make sense to me, why would anyone pay $1000 just for a games console? surely you chose ps3 over other consoles because it can do other things?!?! maybe it's just because i've never had anything handed to me i know the value of a dollar but i certainly wouldnt let $1000 worth of machinery gather dust... 
edit - i guess the 40g's are a fair bit cheaper, but if your dvd player breaks down or something it's good to have

Relax. Everybody has the right to visit the site anytime they want regardless if they start neglecting their PS3 for certain reasons.

dude its an all-in-one home entertainment unit! apart from the games u can play all sorts of video files, either straight from any sort of memory card or usb stick or from the hard drive or even streamed from a media server. you can use it instead of a dvd/bluray player, stereo system, etc. can use it for photos, slideshows, basic web browsing.....geez
i don't know what they've done wrong either 
but on this topic, i agree a revamped store is a waste of time. so maybe Sony are 99-1
