As has been reported on many gaming blogs and websites, we have temporarily taken Firmware v2.40 offline. We’ve received a limited number of calls from consumers experiencing an issue with installing the system software update on their PS3. While our consumer services department has seen a low volume of calls on this topic, we are committed to providing the PS3 community with XMB access features delivered in the v2.40 update. We are working diligently to isolate the problem for those few consumers and to identify a solution before we put the firmware back up.
We’ll provide further information as necessary here on the Blog.
By the way my psn id is mgw8984 add me if u like i own mgs4 gta4 cod4 warhawk exspecially good at that one fight night round 3 guitar hero 3 and some others i own at warhawk so be careful lol
@2090 yea thats the thing its on a T.V stand that is very well ventelated. Would standing it up be better for ventelation?
shogun34…not sure if all bluetooth devices are compatible with PS3…I may be wrong.
I know the printer support on the PS3 only has a couple of companies that the printers will work for.
I know I have the bluetooth headset that was included with Warhawk and that works ok, but it’s a PS3 headset. Heard a few others mentioning other devices…so maybe they’ll speak up.
i got a question is it better to stand up or lay the ps3 down when you play it
@2092 if it’s in an enclosure, maybe put it on top of the TV stand. Another idea may be just getting a small fan (there are PS3 fans you can purchase) and keep it blowing on the system.
mattfmac510 I don’t think it matters…you can do either…but just make sure the air holes aren’t being blocked…give them lots of room.
some apple keyboards have had trouble in the past,,but eye thot it was fixed
@2095 yea im going to put it on top and see what happens ty.
the only problem reported was that they keep coming unsynced from one another
ggcan u sure it wont scratch my disc because i have a xbox and i standed it up and it scratched my disc and i never played it since
tring turning off keyboard,,turn on ps3 then turn on keyboard
if the keyboard is on before it may not sync properly,
maynot help but wtf
mattfmac510..won’t scratch the disc..but don’t move it at all if you have a disc in it..make sure it’s off first and then place it how you want it.
I have mine laying down (not standing up) and it’s working fine, but have seen others with the PS3 upright and it works great that way too.
either one is fine its vinted either way smart sony
u can buy stick pads and put on bottom also to give it a little more breathing room
if u stand it up is it going to stay cooler then wen it is laying down
bout the same
does anyone know when they are going to put up the 2.40 update?
as long as its not within 6 inches of something should be fine
It may as there is less of the PS3 that is touching something else….just make sure those air holes have lots of breathing room.
Clean them often too as dust can gather.
lol got a question eye dont know the answer to now matt have no idea
@2109 My guess would be somtime time monday but you never know.
lol well im off to play the ps3 add me if u want psn mattfmac4200 about to play cod4
most likely monday, eye agree
if they dont have it at the beginning of this week im gonna just uplode the fw i have on the laptop and tank my chances
Has anybody here ever tried to put a solid state HD in the PS3?
the 360 has the tray the disc can jump out of. the ps3 doesn’t have that problem I believe.
I have noticed one problem with 2.4. If im listening to music on my PS3 (from the harddrive in this case) and choos to start a game the PS3 will chrash completly. I have to shut it of from the back in order for it to start working again.
Has anybode else had the same problem?
@2116
“im gonna just uplode the fw i have on the laptop and tank my chances”
freudian slip?
boboulus….only Super Stardust, Pain and High Velocity Bowling allow you now to pick your HDD music. Any other game won’t allow it.
You didn’t mention what game you were accessing.
Bombino…..good luck…hope all works great for you.

everything seems fine so far lemme try to play a game

i cant play while im at the xmb while on the game
Good luck to you Matt….
Hey people…I’ve been playing SSHD so much since the trophies came out with 2.40 I didn’t realize how much fun Fatal Inertia was.
Actually downloaded Fatal Inertia a couple of weeks ago, but haven’t played a lot and brought it up today.
A nice game…if you like racing (these are flying ships) and combat.
Another great new game.
Matt if you’re talking about Sony Home…that’s not available until around September of this year..but only in beta..full blown apparently is in 2009.
Matt remember only a few games have the ability to do stuff with 2.40 until the developers build it into other games.
Like I mentioned before…only SSHD for trophies….High Vel. Bowling and Pain for in game music and SSHD.
how do u get the beta?
Yea i agree fatel inertia is a fun game i only have the demo but plan on buying the full game.
lol im just to juiced it actualy worked i thought it wasnt and it did
Matt beta isn’t available yet….around Sept 08 timeframe is what I’ve heard.
Sensation101…I got the full game and it’s amazing.
2,100+ comments , and still no update. Amazing.
I have been playing the PS3 all weekend long and had no issues. I am at firmware 2.40…I got at least 4 tropies in SSHD… I got friends who are at 45 percent of the trophies of that game.
Bring on Pain, and warhawk, and High Velocity Bowling. I got all of those…so I want more trophies. I am turning into a trophy whore.
im at 2.40 and i have SSHD but I dont get the option to update it to ver 4.00 to earn trophies. Is there an update at the PS Store? can I get this update somehow? This kinda sucks
what is sshd?
@2136 SSHD = Super Stardust HD its a downloadable game at the playstation store
GGCAN yea ive played the full game at my friends house its addecting lol.
i mean addicting
excuse my spelling.
