Hi everyone! We know you’re all patiently waiting for the next PS3 firmware update, v2.40, which includes XMB access in-game and Trophy support. The good news is that it’s coming soon, and you can now see how accessing the XMB from in-game will work in this video demo.
Shortly, we’ll be posting another video here on the PlayStation.Blog that shows the Trophy feature in action for the first time. At that time we’ll provide even more details on how firmware v2.40 will enhance your PLAYSTATION 3 experience.
Great Sony … i am really impressed and more than happy about this update … It was a long wait but they delivered. Now i’m looking forward to the next video about the new “Trophy” system … WOHHOOOOOO!!!!!!
now i can go to sleep LOL
Sweet! I can’t wait to see the next video to see what the trophie system is like.
One question (that I’m sure has already been asked a hundred times) is there cross game chat? Messaging is awesome, but voice chat would put PSN almost on par with xbox live.
they say the vid will be up shortly how long is that
ok now all we need is the well awaited home
lol
Awsome Video Presentation. I look forward to Part 2 soon
Amazing update,thank you Sony! One question though, so when you want to play your own music, you would have to turn off the game’s music correct? Well this is so cool I can’t wait and now I’m hoping that it will come this week! :)
holy crap…there is a new page every two minutes…its gonna end up on page 12356851321 or something…
WILL I HAVE TO REPLAY ALL MY GAMES FOR TROPHIES?????
im so excited
add k3coyotes55
No I don’t think you have to turn it off, its just that would you really want overlapping music?
Excellent walkthrough. Looking forward to the next video and, of course, the actual release of firmware 2.40!
and a new comment every 15-20 seconds…wow.
WILL I HAVE TO REPLAY ALL MY GAMES FOR TROPHIES????????
yay
@163
i hope not
holy s***
Hey guys! is it released yet?
didnt think so
gr8 job guys ^.^
It’s way better than I imagined. I’m glad I don’t have to quit a game to go to a downloaded game ( you know, hit quit game, wait, and then load the downloaded game). I noticed the Internet Browser was there as an option. Would we have to quit a game to use it?
Looks like it works real nice:)
Fight Night3 better work thats all I care so please make sure.thanks.
Thank You SONY!!!! You Have Made Me And A Lot Of People Very Happy. Kudos To All Of You
It’s more of Custom Soundtrack instead of In-game Music because he said the sound is still on for pixel junk which isn’t just a layover of music but a true custom soundtrack.
@ DankandSticky

In Game Music/Messaging thats all i need =)
and the feature where you can jump from one game right into another thats nice!
Thanks A Mill!!!
Its time to dust this badboy off and spiff it up for that update haha (Hurry up >:D) jk
Wow DankandSticky, Cut the crrap, you DONT have to get the trophy for all the games, besides they havent said what old games will have support for them
@183
“The fanboys will blot out the sun…”
I like the clock and date.
in case no one cached on he said 2.4 sets the grounds for ingame music,not that it was included with this update.
They need to make it clear if we are able to voice-message/private chat and have a cross-game invitation system.
If they can add those as well, it would be a near perfect update!
don’t worry. personal music while in-game is included.
What would be sweet is if you could access the Media Server for music ; )
Finally, thanks for the update! Will we get gamer cards for the trophy thing?
@188
I can’t wait to see that. :)
@190
I think he meant that the possibility of developers to be able to skip and control the selection of tracks from the HD
@188 Then We shall game in the dark
Wewt!
@ 195 and 188,
Don’t make fun of me!
lolz
