New themes, custom playlists and more...

News that firmware version 2.0 ofPlayStation 3’s software will be available for download tomorrow is currently the hottest topic of conversation on many a gaming forum, includingours. However, if you can’t wait for another 24 hours to see what it looks like, you canhit play on the video below for a sneak peek.

Version 2.0 features the ability to turn your PS3 on and off remotely, using a PSP and also adds the option to create custom playlists for both pictures and sound files, as well as a funky new 'air paint' theme.

Missing from the update is the highly anticipated in-game XMB access and the ability to play your custom playlist while enjoying a quick thrash around the tracks of Motorstom or enjoying a kick about in PES 2008. But we're sure those features aren't too far away in afuture update.

Executive Producer, GR Video

Hi I'm James or JJ if you like, I'll answer to both. I'm the Executive producer for GR video which means I've had at least a part in all the hot moving pictures you'll find on the site (even if that part was just saying, yes that's a good video). I also produce the Future Games Show and Golden Joystick Awards. Away from the office you'll either find me playing Fortnite, or walking my dog. I'm better at one than the other, I'll let you decide which.
