Segatron Genesis... call me the wizard.
Now you can turn on your PS3, with your PSP via remote play from anywhere...creepy huh?

Sony is continuing to tweak the interface and abilities of the PlayStation 3, as today the company announced the impending release of system firmware 2.0.

Set to become available tomorrow, the new update will add a handful of features to the PS3. One such addition is the "remote start" option that lets users connecting to the system with a PlayStation Portable turn the PS3's power on from the handheld using a wireless Internet connection. The update will also add an "information board" to the PS3's main cross media bar. The board will be a streaming news ticker with updates and announcements provided by Sony Computer Entertainment America.

Other features being added include the ability for users to create custom themes (sets of matching custom icons and wallpapers) for their systems, as well as playlists for music and pictures. Finally, a PlayStation Network category will be added to the cross media bar that includes settings and account management for the PlayStation Store, and will also play a role in "several new initiatives planned for the future."

Also I'd like to add, for people who want the 80GB PS3 model. DO NOT fear anymore! This update patch has fixed many backward compatible issues! I can finally play DEVIL MAY CRY 3 Special Edition! WOOO HOOOO!!

"This looks like a party! LET'S ROCK!!" *hits the jukebox*

So now all my favorite games from the PS2 and PS1 can play on the 60GB and the 80GB without any hassle :)
