Sweet... cause I think many of my friends didn't catch 2.4, which frustrated me when they wouldn't respond to messages because they were in the middle of a game. Oh well, thats over now :)

Good work Sony. My 2.40 worked fine but I'll guess I'll have to update anyway.

These were my issues after 2.40:

*

My PS3 didn't brick.  It would no longer function if an application (Blu-Ray, Blu-Ray game, downloaded game, Audio CD or DVD) did an online check of any kind before starting.  For example, if you put a CD in your PS3, it does the CDDB check to see if it can find the info, right?  Well that would crash my PS3.  Starting GT5:P crashed my PS3, too.  The trophies worked fine (I got 2 before I found out about my issues). 

*

I called Sony.  No help.  They wanted me to send it in (I have a MGS 80GB).  Figuring I had nothing to lose, I formatted the HDD, losing everything.  Started from the beginning.  The 2.40 FW was still in effect (of course), and I got my application/internet functionality back (IOW, my CD's worked without crashing the system, YAY!).  I was relieved, but it wasn't over.   I started to play SSHD again for trophies.  Remember how I said I had 2 already (clearing the first two planets)?  Well, I cleared the third one on arcade (and a few other trophy-tasks) and still only have 2 trophies.  It won't update.  I downloaded 2.41 and now I am going to work.  I'll let you guys know if it worked if you are interested.

How the hel is this old news when its was only released this morning. You could have only known about this a few hours ago and just because you knew about it before it came up doesnt mean its old news.

Lol, I think he's just joking, man.  Richkaos was the first to post that 2.41 was up on the "2.40 may be fixed this week" rumor thread.  He was actually how I found out it was there on my way to work.  But yeah, that is annoying when people do that on message boards.  At least give it 24 hours.  Wasn't 2.40 out for a whole day?   Look at how many people didn't get it.  You can't stay jacked in all the time.

2.40 worked fine for me I imagine it was a small minority that it happened to, sorry for those it did happen to. The one thing I don't understand is if these PS3s are all built the same, then why do some have problems and others do not? Is it to do with the data on each individual's PS3 or does the firmware come corrupt when downloading sometimes?

BTW have a look at the platinum trophy it looks different now on 2.41

@ Nate Drake and to anyoe who wonders or has not read previous articles.

In game music is not going to be universal for PS3 games, it is up to the developers to implement this feature or to create a patch for previous games. Only SSHD and Burnout (soon) will implement the feature. I have heard Warhawk may implement it and I know Konami wanty to implement it for MGS4.

As for In game cross chat I have heard nothing as yet but I know Lempel suggested that cross game invites will be implemented. Though you may have to wait for the XMB to get  updated in another 2 years to get these features lol.

Only the tools for ingame music are in the tool set for devs to do it easy now. So in the new games coming out if a dev wants to put in-game music then they can do it easy now. So most games up till this point don't do it needless to say.
