Upgrade #18 for PS3

PS3 firmware updates are all for the greater good, but the latest brings the count up to 18 since the console launched just over a year ago.PS3 firmware update 2.00, which launched November 8,doesn’t make a massive difference to the way the PS3 operates. Here are the highlights, and first up is a new function that allows users to choose their own themes. Those with the time, ability and inclination are even able to tweak fonts, icons, wallpapers etc thanks to theme creation software that runs on a PC. Next up Remote Start. This feature allows owners to boot up and manage their PS3 remotely via a synced PSP. Finally there’s an Information Board which acts like some kind of RSS newsfeed ticker which keeps you constantly updated about new features on Playstation.com and other Sony-selected snippets.
