It has been announced that 2.41 will be coming this week.
According to customer support, firmware version 2.41, which should be clear of all errors, will out "midweek".

I'd suggest they download 2.4 from one of the megaupload links posted here :p


Anyway, I wonder if this will bring something new besides bug fixes.

Hope so, I assume that means SSHD v4.00 patch will be up again at the same time? I want to try and get some trophies :D

Apparently a memo went round Sony the other week about the few cases of bricked consoles... this no doubt fixes that. I didn't see many (any) people in the thread here with bricked consoles...

Either way, I'm glad, because I didn't get 2.40 before they took it back down. And I don't want to risk downloading it and using it anyway really.

That thread indicated that most likely the whole bricked consoles thing was much less rampant than people tried to make it out to be. Bugs, however, did seem to be rampant, and that's more likely the reason why they pulled it.

I'm less worried about bricked PS3s and more concerned about the fact that despite well over a year and a half of waiting the in-game XMB doesn't feature basic and essential features like voice chat or even voice messaging, custom soundtracks as standard, or even cross-game invites. Text messaging... whoooo.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
I am NOT hyping this shit :mad:

In-game XMB is essential per se as it actually makes messaging meaningful and allows to check and compare trophies. Imagine having to quit the game every time you wanted to do that.

Never had an issue with mine, along with the 600 or so others on the GAF who voted in that thread. But a couple of bricked PS3s (in the GAF thread), is a couple too many, and it was right of Sony to remove it. Hopefully this new FW is problem free. Maybe they add a little something extra in there too.

I wonder in reality how many PS3's were affected by this? *rubs shin* There was a couple of people on the IGN PS3GB forums with bricked systems too.

Man, I'm so hyped for this. This is the real deal.
2.41>2.40

Didn't bother/forgot to download 2.40

I'd recommend that people try out 2.4 if it actually did something. No trophy support or custom soundtrack patches makes it pretty much useless. Unless you were able to snatch up the SSHD 4.0 release while it was up. Was it up?

I'm looking forward to this since I missed the 2.4 release. Is there anything new in 2.41, or is it just bug fixes for 2.4?

yeah, i got it. being able to read messages in game is pretty nice, as well. All of my messages so far have been along the lines of "trophy whore" while playing SSHD but still, the feature is there.

I snatched 4.0 while it was up. Didn't get a chance to go for any trophies yet. I am still at level zero.

So remind me again why we're taking the word of "customer support"...isn't it just as as likely it's some dumbass working the phones just taking a guess?

Wow a party for the release of an update that essentially adds nothing but in-game text messaging, and possibly removes the chance of it bricking your PS3. I for one can barely contain my excitement. Where's the champagne?

Bricked as in FUBAR? The reformat the HDD via PC trick didnt solve the issue?

No, it was bricked. It WAS FUBAR.

Wouldn't even boot. I was there when he installed it.

Ok, I thought it only had the corrupt HDD issue, I guess not. That sucks.

I once installed a faulty firmware update on my router which totally bricked it. Was no way to bring it back, thankfully they sent me a new one. On top of that it took days before they took the faulty firmware offline.

How anything that serious can pass QA is amazing.
