WOW! What an update!! I can see they've been hard at work and put EVERYTHING people wanted in one tiny package. I'm sure it's not a small update but you get my point. I'm so glad they got more visualizers finally. I doubt I'll be able to remember all this stuff to check it out when it gets here. GO SONY!

I would like to think so but I'll take the 'wait and see' approach seeing as this all started with the 'Terms of Service' agreement. If something happens Oct 30th, great, if not, won't be disappointed. I can already see it now, if nothing happens the 30th, there is going to be b****ing of unknown proportions.

We all know this is just a rumour that probably won't happen..so you really shouldn't have posted anything until it was confirmed !! It will just fuel the hype up for yet another massive crash !!

This User Agreement refers explicitly to the Playstation Network and not the firmware. A cursory glance through the contents confirms this.

Lol... Umm Sorry to burst everyone's bubble.. But this has nothing to do with the so called FW update.. This is a revison of the "Terms and Service Agreement" Thats all this guy Justin did was give you the like of the Website and copy pasted the same damn artile that was used for the FW 2.0 rumor article.. What give with this kid.. This is like the 3rd or 4th time that I've seen him post misinformation.. $hit for that let me have the damn job...

this update was rumor posted by a girls named LEAH on the Playstation site...she claimed her account was hacked and someone else posted it... i for one don't care....all i want is the in-game XMB access... we've already gotten things that are on this list though, so it could be legit(or sony saw the fake post, and hopefully decided to give into the consumers demands)...either way... please be true!!
