Sony to release PS3 firmware update 2.41 this week

article published on 7 July, 2008

On July 2nd, Sony released the long anticipated 2.40 firmware update for its PlayStation 3 console. A few users however, were met with bricked consoles or otherwise had freezing glitches and other software failure. Sony then removed the update from its site, and users trying to update through their PS3 were told firmware 2.36 was the latest available.

By the way, do you see how many people here "confronted" nobrainer? Has he come back yet to reinstate anything he said previously? Hmmm, no he hasn't. Soon, you might just see nobrainer spamming the gaming area at aD, and where else but the PS2/3 section...

By the way, I don't know about any of you but I was on my way to playstation.com and noticed something funny. After clicking on North America on the choose region page, the front page images didn't load quick enough. I caught a text that said "PS3 Failures" then the usual SOCOM Confrontation/Secret Agent Clank came up. Can anyone else confirm this? Or was I seeing things?

@nobrainer Note* READ CAREFULLY!

I wouldent say so, Oner that had the most patience of all people that was arguing so far with him, have proven many times that nobrainer is misinforms and twist the facts.
I cant recall the topic, but not long time ago he posted a part of sony news from 2005!!!even before PS3 release, and he twisted it to death, oner proved it.
plus he does it only with sony topics.... you think that it is just a coincidence?

ONtopic
I did the 2.40 update when it was released, i dont have any issues except a demo that was paused in download list and i had to re download it.
The new features are good in general (useless for me), but couldn't they just add a video playlist or a function to automatically play next video in folder? How hard can this be?

Not really they added somethings so it wasn't a total waste check here.

2.41 brings new-look Platinum Trophy

The next person, regardless of status on this site, who confronts an individual member in one of MY NEWS ARTICLES, is getting a ban, cut the childish stuff out, if you don't agree with someone then post something to back up your thoughts, if not I don't care how you feel about that other member, keep it out of my news or you will receive a ban, I hope I am being clear enough.

I would also like to ask, politely of course, that the moderating team refrain from posting in my news articles, unless you have to explain what is being done as a moderator.

So has anyone heard a time frame for which the trophies should be added for other titles? I know the developers are responsible.. but I can't find a developer that has given a date yet.

When not playing a game or movie, the XMB "cross media bar" is what is displayed. This gives you access to pictures, music, videos that you have stored on your PS3 or on your media server. It also gives you access to Pairing Blue Tooth devices, Display settings, Audio Settings, Messaging etc... Before 2.40 / 2.41 all of these things and more were only available when not playing games or watching movies. NOW when playing a game, you can press the PS button and bring up the XMB and control these things. Some games will or wont allow you to play music while playing the game.

Trophies, complete most of the challenges in a game and get a bronze trophy, most all = Gold, all = Platinum. Not many games support this now. More to come. These trophies will be visible to any friends that you have on the PS3 network.

Odd, a lot of people are reporting alot better internet speeds. It might be that sony swapped some ports or changed some settings that don't jive with your router.

I don't like Cords either?_?. Try another game, thats all i can tell you.If you can set up your router again, reset it. I reset mine every two weeks.

Anyways what came first High Ping or botched Mic? a high Ping can botch the VOIP over any game. That Being said. hear are things that could narrow down your current problem

What ISP are you with?
What are your plans with this ISP(Data Rate Ex. 2Mbits UP 4Mbits down)?
Current Wireless standard your using(Ex.802.11B, 802.11G)?

Or try Hooking your PS3 directly to the Internet. Play the game see if you notice any difference.

if your problems still are not fixed, Post your problems Here:http://forums.afterdawn.com/forum_view.cfm/153]
