Update 2.0

a Rumor site Copy and Pasted from a rumor site [They were right in times I needed answers, but I'm sure this is just to stir up excitement]
But these features are still sick
My favorite additions in bold
It says we can bring up the xmb in a game! Just what I asked for previously in the '1.9 update is near' thread. I'm pretty sure that'll be the only truth in this article, I mean 2.0 is supposed to be a whole new level.

Someone n the Playstation forums posted what they say are the details for the Playstation 3's software version 2.00 update. The update is supposed to include a slew of minor tweaks across the board, but the major addition appears to be the ability to bring up the XMedia Bar in game, which is a pretty spiffy idea.
The thing is that the tipster says the details were posted to SCEA's official press site and removed, but I can't think of a single time when Sony has posted details on their firmware updates to their press site, it's just not used that way. Also, I have the site in my RSS reader and it never popped up. I'm not saying it's not true, after all Sony's Gamers Day is tomorrow, but take this with a grain of salt.
When contacted earlier today, this is what SCEA had to say:
"We haven't made any announcements on future firmware update plans for PS3, and that list is just rumor and speculation."
Hit the jump for the full list.
The PLAYSTATION®3 system software version 2.00 update includes the following:

Some of these features have been included in the 1.9 update. What you have posted is what we all saw MONTHS ago. It will be out with Home, that I'm sure about as for the rest I'm just gonna wait and see. The Firmware rumour mill is a dangerous place to be, not too mention a complete waste of brain power. Just wait and let Sony surprise you.
