As many of you remember, Sony announced a new firmaware at GamesCom that would introduce a plethora of new features. The firmware was set for a September 1, 2009, but it looks like the good folks at Sony have made it go live a day early. Hopefully we will be able to see the first batch of animated themes this Thursday with the PlayStation Store update.
[update]
It seems that the opening screen and music has changed, and Sony is going with the new PS3 logo. The layout of everything is very sharp and beautiful. I am impressed by the new look and feel of the xmb.
