FIRMWARE VERSION 2.00 - OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE
Latest PLAYSTATION®3 System Software Update Allows PSP™ to Turn PS3™ On and Off from Internet Connection for Enhanced Remote Play
Ability to customise XMB™ and add personalised playlists for both music and photos also enabled
London, 8 November 2007 – Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) announced today the availability of the latest version of the PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3™) system software. Version 2.00 features the ability to turn a PS3 system on and off remotely, using a PSP™ (PlayStation®Portable) system via the Remote Play function, allowing for a truly mobile partnership between the two systems.
Building on the success and potential of the Remote Play functionality, Version 2.00 will cement the partnership between PS3 and PSP and create a truly global experience. With the ability to turn your PS3 on and off from Wi-fi connection, there is now the opportunity to listen to the music, look at the photos and watch the videos saved on the PS3 Hard Disk Drive, anywhere in the world.
To further enhance the PS3 offering, Version 2.00 allows for the creation of personalised playlists in both the music and photo sections. This simple to use function gives users an opportunity to create unlimited music playlists for all occasions, as well as sharing favourite photos in glorious high definition.
Continuing with the idea of a personalised PS3, Version 2.00 allows for customisation of the XMB™ (XrossMediaBar) menu screen. Change the colour and brightness with the greatest of ease or have something completely different by setting a custom theme. With the potential for new backgrounds to become available on PLAYSTATION®Network in the future, Version 2.00 truly opens up a whole raft of options.
A host of other enhancements includes the addition of an Information Board on XMB to keep people up to date on the latest PlayStation® news, the inclusion of a new PLAYSTATION Network category and logo for easier navigation and Trend Micro Web Security, a free2, state of the art internet security system, designed to give parents peace of mind.

Like many of the Neo-Geo fighting crop (Samurai Showdown not included), the World Heroes series has some mixed reactions in this day and age. For example, its Virtual Console debut got a less than favorable mark from resident retro expert Jeremy Parish.
Nevertheless, SNK Playmore announced today that a compilation would be coming our way entitled World Heroes Anthology, the American counterpart to the recently released Japanese World Heroes Gorgeous. Why would they change that name?
At any rate, the collection includes World Heroes, World Heroes 2, World Heroes 2 Jet, and World Heroes Perfect, and it will be available in spring of 2008. No price has been slated for the anthology as of yet; but at $9 a pop for Neo-Geo games on Wii, a budget price of $40 for the disc seems comparable. ...by Published on November 7th, 2007 01:39

November 6, 2007 - Electronic Arts confirmed today that it has closed its 150-employee Chicago studio as part of its overall restructuring plan to trim about 350 jobs and return to profitability.
In a memo sent to studio workers, EA president Frank Gibeau gave kudos to general manager Kudo Tsunoda but said that, despite its rising costs, the studio was not on track to be profitable until 2011.
"Within the EA Games Label, we are committed to running each franchise and facility as a city/state, teams with unique creative identities as well as responsibility for product quality, ship dates and profitability...." Gibeau said. "Unfortunately, EA Chicago hasn't been able to meet that standard....Closing EA Chicago is the toughest decision I've made in my career - one that in no way reflects on the talent and dedication of the people who work there."
Notable games developed or under development at EA Chicago include the Def Jam series, the Fight Night series and an upcoming Marvel fighting game. The Fight Night series has already been moved to an EA studio in British Columbia, but EA spokesman Jeff Brown told IGN the company is not yet making any announcements about the future of the Def Jam or Marvel games.
IGN attempted to reach Tsunoda by e-mail but had not received a response at the time of this writing (the studio's phones are already disconnected). Despite the closure of his studio, the industry vet isn't out of a job at EA.
"Kudo is one of the brightest visionaries at the company, and he's got no shortage of offers to work at other [EA] studios," Brown said. "He's not decided what he'll do yet."
Many of the Chicago studio's 150 employees will be placed at other EA locations, and those who are not will receive severance pay and help finding another job.

Yes thats right, those $90-99 players were capable of selling OVER 90,000 units over the weekend! (Their are more because the article states those sales figures are not from all retailers, about 3/4 of them).
The HD DVD format significantly pumped its installed base over the weekend, as dueling store clearances sold an estimated 90,000 Toshiba players, according to sources close to retailers.
That tally covers Friday to Sunday sales of Toshiba’s second-generation HD-A2 model, which Wal-Mart and Best Buy sold for about $99 on Nov. 2. That’s $200 less than Toshiba’s $299 list price and $100 off widespread retail pricing of $199.
The $99 players made up most of the 90,000 units sold, a source said.
Within three days, Toshiba corralled nearly as many sales as the best-selling stand-alone Blu-ray Disc player has sold since its launch. Sony’s dominant Blu-ray set-top, the $499 BDP-S300, has shipped about 100,000 since it bowed this summer.

News from Zodttd
Well it took a few days of figuring out how to get the Toolchain 0.30 for iPhone compiled correctly. I finally got that done about 12 hours ago. Within the past few hours I've got gpSP compiled for the iPhone & iTouch. And best of all:...
I GOT HOMEBREW / GAMES RUNNING ON THE iPHONE & iTOUCH!
Now the catch is, I still have to implement controls for this port before anything is playable of course. I landed up just skipping the GUI for the file selector and hardcoding a rom path. That will change immediately once I get controls implemented. After that the next step will be sound.
Also keep in mind I am currently using the interpreter for this initial build. I will switch over to the ARM dynarec very shortly.
A huge thanks goes to Exophase for creating his very well made GBA emulator, gpSP. Without it, GBA on handhelds such as this wouldn't be worth it.
Expect a release of gpSP for the iPhone & iTouch shortly, as in, within day(s). In the meantime, what should this project be called? It must begin with "gpSP".- Search DCEmu
