PS3 Firmware 2.40 Goes Live

The much-anticipated PS3 Firmware 2.40 - has gone live, as promised, just as July 2nd rolled around. The update includes:

  • In-game XMB access
  • Trophy Support (the PS3's answer to Xbox 360's achievements) - just remember, trophies are retroactive
  • Expanded Gamer Profiles
Sony has a FW 2.40 FAQ, also.

Things users have wanted, but aren't getting in this release:
  • The ability to send voice messages
  • The ability to wse the XMB in PS2 games or while watching a DVD or Blu-ray disc
  • Cross-game invites
  • Web browsing in-game
  • In-game PlayStation store shopping (oh, come on)
Still, the big question is: why are you still reading this? Start downloading.
