Sony has announced the availability of the latest version of the PS3 system software.

Version 2.00 features the ability to turn a PS3 system on and off remotely, using a PSP system via the Remote Play function.

With the ability to turn your PS3 on and off from Wi-fi connection, this means owners can listen to the music, look at the photos and watch the videos saved on the PS3 Hard Disk Drive, anywhere in the world.

Version 2.00 also lets people create personalised playlists in both the music and photo sections.

Another tweak is that the XrossMediaBar can be customised with themes, colours and backgrounds.

Other enhancements include an Information Board on XMB, a new PLAYSTATION Network category and logo and Trend Micro Web Security.
