3. "Optimists (like PS3 Fanboy) argue that 2.00 installs "the framework for a much meatier PS3 experience" with a host of new components that will eventually lead to polished entertainment."--Joystiq
Which article did he read?

4. Massively underwhelming and completely undeserving of a 2.0 label. It doesn't matter how many details/screenshots you guys have, those bullet points say everything!
Oh and will people PLEASE stop looking for customisable soundtracks, Sony have already stated that that functionality has been included for months, and that it's up to developers whether they use it or not.

5. Probably the one that ps3fanboy will post following this article; they are on the same blog network, after all...

6. I know everyone is wanting an in-game XMB, but if custom soundtrack is up to the game developers, why else would this be useful?

What does in-game XMB let you accomplish really?

Please enlighten me

7. Sounds like this isn't the whole story (which is a good thing!) ...hopefuly.
I want profile 1.1 support more than everything else but in game XMB was an expectation for the big 2.0 and we already knew rumble would be included. Remote is cool but not worthy of headlining an update.
Here's to hoping there's a longer list because the currentlist isn't good enough after all the hype.

8. @6 The ability to chat/ locate friends on the PSN while in game for starters. And Sony really needs to give it's users not it's developers the choice whether to use in game soundtracks or not. This feature has been available on the Xbox for ages.

9.
ok, so really everyone just wants the friends and the music icons, not the whole XMB bar.

That makes more sense to me.

As long as everygame come with an option to turn off in-game music but leave the in-game sound fx on then this should be something that Sony could and should do.

Thanks gamingeek

10. this is a lame update. I guess reading all the blogs and comments from past write ups on 2.0 i thought It was going to be something Massive. This is more like a 1.97 update. When you change numbers from 1 to 2 thats suppose to be a massive upgrade and this is not.

11. "Here's to hoping there's a longer list because the currentlist isn't good enough after all the hype"

None of which came from Sony themselves.

12. @6. Yes, like someone said earlier, I think people just want a few select features, not the ENTIRE xmb bar. With the 360 for example, you can't change any system settings from in game, but you can send messages, receive messages, send game invites, and look at your friends list from in game. Thats what most of us want (I think).

13. Music and photo playlists sounds good. Remote start is better. Don't know what "information board" means. At first blush this does not sound deserving of a 2.00 update.

14. Some new codecs (divx/xvid) would have been really nice, or does Microsoft have an agreement in place with DivX consortium in supply of these codecs to the egssbox?

15. If those are the only features this FW upgrade contains then an option to opt-out of the FW upgrade would be nice.

16. Lee, even if that's true, its sill more of a 1.9x update not a x.0 with the present list of features.

Posted at 11:27AM on Nov 7th 2007 by XDragon

17. Oh my, this could get ugly. I'm still a touch surprised there's no mention of a BD 1.1 profile, so I'm hoping there's still some stuff left. I don't suppose you could let us know when your NDA is up, or do you not want to melt your poor webserver? ;)

18. @5 and anyone going along that line of thinking. That's just part of the list not the full list revealed by ThreeSpeech. I.E. their more details and pictures line PS3fanboy has in the artical

19. I dont think this will be the last update this year.

i dont see any reason to doubt that 2.0 is the "core" for many other updates to come.

I also think we will be in the 2.** for a lot longer than we were in the 1.**

20. I think we need to remind everyone that none of the previous feature lists that popped up were confirmed features or promised features from Sony. They were rumors, nothing more. That said, I'd love to have friends lists in-game. Custom soundtracks, not so much. I seem to only enjoy hearing my own music during mindless casual games - the exact sort of game I bought a PS3 not to play. I can't fathom why I'd want to listen to the new Kanye West while playing Assassin's Creed.
