During a press event today from Gamer's Day, Sony has finally revealed that a new firmware update will be out THIS WEEK. The update will include:

*Custom wallpaper
*Custom music while playing games
*DVD and PS2 upscaling

So does this mean that part of the 2.00 update rumour is true? Well it's good enough from my point of view, but hopefully Sony will surprise us by making the rumoured 2.00 firmware REAL, yay!

As good as it seems dont expect it anytime soon. There is no site on the net with a good source for that information. If you go to deeko, you get told he got his information from N4G, which then tells you their information came from threespeech.com/

Not the most reliable... Im not holding out for this mystical firmware update.

100% agree with you NoRC, this information has sounded skeptical since the moment i heard about it yesterday morning. No real reliable source has yet to say anything about it.

Still, im hoping it is true as its a hell of an update.

It was a false rumor.

WiiMan says:

I don't think it was a false rumor.

Most likely the information about this update was leaked early, Sony denied it was happening, and now they have delayed the release to save face so they don't look like liars.

We have been getting pretty consistant updates every month, so I think this one could still come out before the end of May, hopefully.

i think they might try and tie the update in with E3 in july so they might be holding it back a week or too.(to add more features of coarse)

From the article:

Users on a home network should also get improved streaming of movies, music, and images to their PS3 from a PC.

Firmware 1.92 will be out tonight at midnight and it will be for USB downloading and game updates to fix some issues.

Firmware 2.0 will be out next month.

thomas22 says:  

uuuhh so long away. I think all of the listed features in 2.0 are a bit fake. Considering when the firmwares have gone up by 1.0 for the last couple of times, there have only been a couple of new features. I don't think 1.90 - 2.00 will have all of that

Hmmm good find Stonecold. I just wish they would make it more like a media player and be able to sort your music properly and everything. Maybe I should just use a good program first and then copy it over and it would work.

Rumored feature: PSP-like XMB themes (a.k.a. colors).
