PlayStation Network boss Eric Lempel has pretty much confirmed the upcoming 3.0 firmware update for PlayStation 3 is the last big one for the console this year.
That doesn’t mean other updates won’t be coming, but they’ll be much smaller by comparison. The team are ”working on some things” that might go live before 2010, possibly.
The impending firmware 3.0 adds dynamic themes to the console as well as avatars, in both premium and free form. Other things are UI spruces to help you get around a bit quicker, plus a What’s New section to feed you news on the latest additions.
”…this is a big and significant update, so you would be correct to assume” this is the last big firmware offering for PS3 in 2009, Lempel told G4TV.
”We try to release updates a few times a year and try to put as much as we can in them and depending on the different schedules and what we have ready at a certain moment, it may or may not make it into an update,” he explained.
”We do want to continue to evolve the PS3, continue to go along our road map but also listen to what the users are saying and making the necessary enhancements to make their experience better.” …but yeah, no more major biggies this year.
