Latest PS3 Firmware Updates

[jim g]

when 2.40 is released, i think is 99% to be at E3, it this the perfect opportunity surely?

[hudson]

I agree. I can see 2.40 being shown and deployed at E3.

So I see all that polava from yesterday was just general maintenance then as PSN is back on now with no firmware updates!

Leaked list of XMB-able features you'll get with 2.4

I hope they have the sense to remove the voice changer before it gets released. Hated that functionality in the original XBL, couldn't understand a damn word anybody said.

2.4 walkthrough - part one only, part two is coming later in the week

I'd say it's definately coming either this week or, more likely, next week.

Looks nice, and it seems to perform pretty well also. Was worried about how that would work considering memory limitations were supposedly behind the lack of this functionality from the off.

In work so can't listen to it but there is access to a lot more than I was expecting. I was surprised to see that you can access things like settings, it'll be useful to be able to change things like resolution without having to stop the game or film.

I'm hoping that he doesn't say that you can't change resolution in it?

He didn't mention anything of it. I think it will be disabled on the in-game xmb though.

You cannot change resolution without exiting the game. This has already been stated either in the vid or in that FAQ on the ps blog.

Funny how the stardust 4.0 update just crashes the machine, (well reboots it) and does nothing else so far.

Did it to me 3 times. I powered the mother down and rebooted and it worked. Scatty.

Some people are getting this now and it's bricked a one or two machines, though it seems one of them was the HDD that may have got corrupted in some way and a HDD swap cured the problem.
