Here it is folks! This might rival Xbox's Dashboard!

Quote:
A 'trusted' member of the official US Playstation forum, 'Leah,' has released a list of features to be included in the latest iteration of the PlayStation 3 firmware. Whilst waiting for confirmation from Sony about this update it is certainly encouraging to see that the XMB (Xross-Media Bar) will be accessible from within PS3 games, there will more flexible video controls, and more customisation options. However there is still no word on the much needed friends list.

The PlayStation 3 system software version 2.0 update includes the following:

Where did you find this?

Nevermind. Looks like it's the same thing that was posted back in May.

Not sure if it's true or not, I hope it is though.

Yeah, but it seems like it's coming. Stupid Sony won't release anything. But apparently I found some of those features in another forum saying they were leaked by an insider at Sony.

They need to keep us in the loop. All I want is the XMB and the time clock and Ill be shiny.

XMB is coming. They have confirmed that.

There is a chance that they are going to make an announcement about 2.0 at TGS which is this weekend.

Hellz Yeah!

Anyway, I posted this in the GIs forum too cuz some of them keep saying they want to get Rock Band for 360 because most of them already have GH2 for 360 and they say that can chat with the 360 game. Still there's a few of them that will get it for PS3 and if the XMB is made available by then, Im sure it will support the voice chat too and the voice chat in XMB is more than 2 people! (I was in a voice chat of 4 this weekend while we prepared for Warhawk)
