It seems that some PS3 firmware 3.0 details have been leaked into the world. With 2.80 only just out, this assumes that 2.90 is still to come, so we're still away off 3.0. That said, VG247 is stating that 3.0 will include the following:
- A "huge overhaul".
- Due pre-Xmas 2009.
- Comparable to Xbox 360's NXE "in some respects".
- Games will have "A reputation system" for users to rate each other.
- A grief reporting system similar to that in LittleBigPlanet.
- Patches can be downloaded in the background.
- Simultaneous HDMI and digital optical audio output.
No news of PS2 backward compatibility or whether the update will be part of a new, slimmer PS3.
There's apparently more to come. We're currently trying to get SCEE to comment.

don't see the point in allowing patches to download in background

Also any word on in-game music to be mandatory on every ps3 title?

And now the internets start hyping this up so it cures cancer and are upset to tears when it wont.

Facility to embed 3rd party apps, and sell them on PS store. FTW!
