August 31, 2009 9:28 am by Jeremy Hill If you’re one of the types of people who absolutely adore firmware updates of all kinds (even the security based ones) consider this a friendly reminder of good news. Firmware 3.0 will be available to download starting tomorrow September 1, 2009. This is said to be the last major firmware update of the year and Sony is adding some brand new elements to the operating system.
Dynamic themes are the most eye catching new feature. Sony displayed a LittleBigPlanet theme in whick Sackboy was running around the planet in real time. Sony also made it so that we can access the PlayStation Store from just about anywhere on the XMB, the friends list has been redesigned to be easier to manage and the seldom used information bar has been replaced with a What’s New section. We’ll let you know the second the update beams down into our consoles.
Update: It’s not quite tomorrow but Sony has gone ahead and released the update a little early. Go forth and download now!
