Details on the next software updates for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 have surfaced from manufacturers Sony and Microsoft.

Version 2.00 of the PlayStation 3's firmware arrives tomorrow, November 8. Included is the ability to turn the PS3 on and off remotely via PSP's Remote Play, support for music and photo playlists, and the addition of Trend Micro Security for web browsing, which Sony claims was "designed to give parents peace of mind."

Interestingly, Trend Micro Security's protection will only be free from November 8, 2007 to April 30, 2008. "The date and method to switch to a pay service and the price will be announced as soon as a decision is made," read Sony's press release.

Update: When asked if the Family Timer is part of the forthcoming Xbox 360 Fall System Update, Microsoft was unable to provide Shacknews with a direct answer, suggesting the full update may be slated for a December release.

"We can't confirm that the Family Timer will be part of the Fall System Update but it will be available in early December," stated a Microsoft representative. The lack of a direct denial in such statements often indicates that such information is not yet ready to be disclosed--which only applies here in the case of "yes"--or that a decision has yet to be reached.
