Or, considering so many people are mis-informed about the overheating, maybe they will.

Just to add my PS3 bought at launch from Argos here in 'ol Blighty is whisper quiet. Only time I've heard the fans speed up was after leaving it on all night on an 8 hour folding@home session. During games or watching films quite literally a whisper and game sessions have lasted for 12 hours or more at weekends! Not sure why some say their PS3's have a loud fan noise. It could be not all PS3's shipped to the EU were made at the same time (probably not considering there was approximately a million at launch). Maybe some are just louder. But I feel some just haven't given their PS3 room to breath.
Mine is in my living room which is 30' by 12' with two doors (one to the hallway and the other to the kitchen) and patio doors at the back. It sits next to my 500 watt amp and has easily 4" space all round, nothing below or above it. It's well ventilated and I've had no problems except the odd game crash (like Oblivion - no surprise
) and when exiting my pictures during a slide show.
One day I may hear someones noisy PS3 for myself. Right now it's just my 360 that sounds seriously asthmatic.

I havnt had a chance to hear my PS3 fan noise. My logitech Z5400's are playing everytime i watch a movie or play a game. No fan noise can overcome those 
. I do leave folding at home on when i sleep and i dont ever recall hearing the fan when that happens either.

Saints Row for PS3 has been cancelled... but Saints Row 2 will appear on the 360 and PS3. So don't fret.

I would have liked to play it but from what I've heard its not a huge loss... anyone tried CAC yet? I want to get it after my next paycheck when my girlfriend is not looking...
Let's just put it this way: the only reason Saints Row sold decently on the 360 was because people wanted a GTA-style game. SR2 will bomb since everyone will have GTA4 by then.

Yep, 1up currently has the Review Build, and while it's embargoed until sometime in the last week of June, Shane did say it was "awesome" and that what we've seen in the demo is only a taste of what the game has to offer, visually.
Oh hey! I got good news.

If this is true (and it probably is), I'm going to do cartwheels. We'll get custom backgrounds, custom soundtracks, XMB in-game, custom avatars (even though I love my Super Ducky Family one), RSS (which means we can download our precious podcasts easily), and there's a possibility of creating folders to sort out stuff.
*crosses fingers*
EDIT: Bolded the part where the method of changing display resolutions has been changed. That'll be good too.
This is from the same guy who's done this stuff from the 1.6 update onwards (and has been accurate), so this is probably real as well.

Sweet! It looks like we can expect more and more goodies as time goes by. I agree that the music player needs alot of improvement - being able to edit multiple file names would be good for a kick off - at present, if you have a CD that is not on the database, you have to manually edit each and every file, which is most annoying. However, I like the look of the updates listed above. 'Theme Settings' sounds like you'll be able to download customised icons, fonts, wallpapers etc... presumably?

Before anyone gets to happy with this one I have just read through the whole of the source thread.
It would appear that the original post that started it has been removed by that forums admin and the 'source' of it orginated from the same poster, but on a different board.
This one looks like it could be a false lead (which is a shame).

It is a strange situation for someone to do that, but then again I've seen just as strange behaviour from good posters here at GT Planet.
Don't get me wrong I would love for this to be true, but given that the source site is getting more than a bit jittery about the accuracy I thought we should all be aware.

A Winning Eleven game taking up 18GB? We'll see...

I'm just going to be the devils advocate to avoid a broken heart and say...that update is bogus.
Also, I'm going to say...the PES 07 being three times better, is probably bogus as well.
Then again, if either is true I'll put a foot in my mouth and cry from joy. Apparently, Leah wasn't the only one to edit the post, SCEA, at one time, was, but that information was "deleted" and replaced with "edited by Pegasus". He's an Admin Assistant. Who knows! Sounds kinda odd...

I going to have to agree. While I don't doubt PES7 will have the PS3 as the lead platform (and probably have better looking things like shadows and maybe less jaggies), I can't see anyone making an 18GB soccer game. What the heck are you going to fill it up with? Higher res textures? A billion extra stadiums? CGI? Padding?

Now this is rather interesting (and peaked the X-files/conspiracy side of me), I spend a bit of time over at the official Sony Playstation boards (the largest on-line community of Xbox trolls on the web) and normally the mods leave any speculation alone and just don't comment on it.
Well the thread relating to this apparent 2.0 firmware update was removed totally from the boards, when a thread was posted asking why, this was the reply from one of the moderating team....
...the thread asking why also contained a link to the original source of these rumours and this link was removed with the reason given that it was "inappropriate content".
Source for all the above - http://community.eu.playstation.com/showthread.php?t=88998 (if this one lasts any longer than the last thread)
Is it just me or does this seem to be a tad of an over-reaction, and if so, then why?
The only other reason I can think of is that the original source seemed to indicate that the person who first posted this info/claim is (or was) a Sony employee.
The plot thickens.....
