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. According to new reports however, ...

I hope this can fix the mess that happened last week because I was lucky to get home from work and find that 2.40 update was gone meaning that I didn't have go thru that but I was really looking forward to having "trophies" added to my gameplay.

Hopefully the new update will fix all of 2.40's issues and all users who were not able to get the update when it was available will get in-game XMB access and trophies.
Quote:Going to assume you haven't written code or worked with electronics before. It is a bit harder than you think. nvidia and ati have the same problems. Their firmware releases don't work 100% of the time either. It happens with pretty much everything. I have done several application migrations(as a Project Manager and as a developer) in my life time and no matter how hard you try, there are some users that get errors. Some application on the production environment will throw you an error or errors after testing it 10-20 times with no errors on the mirrored test, dev, and staging environments.Originally posted by trexxus:shhh, don't say that too loud as other ppl on these forums will hear you because according to them there were no issues whatsoever, sony just pulled the update for a laugh.

you know trying to warn ps3 owners that their system can be damaged is "fanboy behaviour" even when sony pull the update themselves, lol some ppl are just too much, sony is god.
*update*
The problem that didn't exist, according to several afterdawn posters has been fixed, according to Lempel. (via US PlayStation blog)Originally posted by PSN boss Eric Lempel:OMG he is a m$ fanboy putting the ps3 "update" down.

hear, hear. the problem is that the 13 year olds that start posting on afterdawn about 4pm each day are school kids, and they do not know any better, they are suckered in by the marketing and the mags and the programmes that spread this pathetic hatred.
Consume, consume, consume ppl, because if you don't you, must be mad.
At least sony appear to have got this issue resolved relatively quickly. But as i stated in the other forum it's rather sad that code for 1 piece of hardware cannot even but correct, what would they do if they had to write code for the 100,000 different pc's out there? nvidia and ati seem to do ok.

yeah, nobrainer is really annoying, its like visiting a website that you go to frequently, but a whole bunch of ads and popups bombard you everytime you refresh or go to another page within that site. Its kind of annoying listening to the same "song" so to speak with this character, does he work for M$ or Apple or something like that?

In an official statement issued to ThreeSpeech, SCEE explains the problem with firmware 2.40. It seems that there was a problem which "prevented a limited number of PS3s from activating properly after updating to version 2.40, when certain system administrative data were contained on the HDD." This has now been fixed with 2.41, though those who suffer from the problem (which prevents the PS3 from loading up the XMB) will not be able to access the new firmware update.
Instead, those who had problems with 2.40 will need to contact Customer Services and will receive a replacement PS3. 2.41 will prevent this problem happening to anyone else. The statement also reiterates that those who installed 2.40 successfully will not suffer from any issues. Good news all round, really. We're happy those people who were too slow to grab 2.40 will now be able to start earning trophies and enjoying in-game XMB with the rest of us.
