PS3: Firmware 2.40 released... but...


The much anticipated PS3 Firmware version 2.40 has been released, and as previously confirmed has Trophies and in-game XMB.

Full features include:
  • In-game XMB (a quick tap of the PS button brings it up)
  • Send text messages to PSN users on your friends list
  • Access accessory settings, such as Bluetooth pairing and voice changer
  • View and manage downloads
  • Quits game directly from an icon under the "Game" section of the XMB
  • Search the web using the Google Search option under "Network" (similar to the latest PSP firmware)
  • Launch directly into another game from the one you're currently playing
  • Play music tracks stored on the HDD in games that support this feature
  • Access a new on-screen music player interface (when listening to your own tracks in supported titles)
However, reports are starting to come in that the 60GB PS3's are locking up after the update (see here and here).
