Hi, everyone. As many of you know, we released PS3 firmware update v2.40 last week, but had to take it offline temporarily because, for a limited number of users, the XMB wouldn’t display after the update was installed. We’ve been able to fix the problem, and I’m happy to report that firmware update v2.41 will be released shortly.
We want to extend our apologies to the PlayStation community for any inconvenience. Now we’ll be looking forward to seeing everyone online and racking up those trophies!
@ everyone who is asking about the player
well i find it useless to use when on the web so
here how to find it
if your game currently support in-game music push PS button go over to music and and play one (if your game support it it will play) now if you go to the top of the Music part you will notice a circle with a p;lay on it. idk wat its called.
you can do the same for browser just play a song, when you play it and your on the browser go back to the music menue and you will see a new icon that a circle and has a play on it.
Aircards, support aircards for PS3. Its internet service that cell phone user use when they get internet from the cellular service. Its connects USB. Sony include an update to make it capable to the aircards please.
not everyone has the time to read thru all the previous posts to see if their problem has already been talked about or solved. most of you that think we do are crazy. who care enough to read thru 500+ posts… maybe you.
most of these posts are simple replies with no real answer to any question. just a “look, someone else is smart and i’m gonna take the credit”
if you don’t have an answer or question, then why even clutter up this blog… like i am now by saying all this
WHERES MY MUSIC PLAYER ANSWER??? some of you acted like it was there, then no reply about evidence.
…so…who tested this release?
Do you guys have an alpha/beta program for your OS releases? You might want to solicit several suspecting Ginuea pigs to take the new software out for a test drive before releasing it to the unsuspecting masses.
@552…did you check @551…..???
@ danklown look above your comment
@DANKLOWN
i already answered your question about the music player
I STILL CANT PLAY MY MUSIC WHILE I PLAY DOES ANYONE KNOW Y?
Nitrowolf2…thk-you…..hope the rest read your comment.
Hey, I understand the problems that may occur during an update launch. But my friend cant even load DVD’s, PS2 games or and Blu Ray DVD’s since the first 2.40 update. We have called and watch the blog board for some assistance. Can w get you help, Please.

@551
thanks for your time and info. it works great.
thanks and sorry to any of those who were bothered by my quest for an answer that didn’t include BS… thanks again 551
p.s. this funtions (music and the net) are very useful when you don’t want to turn on your pc just to check mail and such. the ps3 runs music better than any other media player i’ve ever known.
i am a musician and music is my life, for many its the same. more music function gives me more use of my ps3.
thanks to all – good luck with all your own question
later
i know you answered it, time man… it takes time to type and see it working… thanks again
@ DUBZZ45 (557)
Though I normally don’t answer any question from people who post in all caps (in case you haven’t figured out the internet yet, it’s rude), I will tell you that you CAN’T PLAY MUSIC WHILE PLAYING GAMES UNLESS DEVELOPERS INCLUDE IT !!!!!
There ya go, the secret answer you were looking for…now I slink back into the darkness.
You guys did a real good job at handling this and I’m also glad you specified the reason. There still seems to be a problem even after I downloaded 2.41 and it’s been even going on before 2.40; I keep getting kicked off my PSN account and sometimes even when it does work it doesn’t properly load friends/avatars up. Any advice?
@557 DUBZZ45
The game you are playing does not support in-game music
i dont think there are currently any game that are on disc that support in-game music yet so you will have to wait for a patch.
Some dev how ever are not willing to patch up there games
but you can hope for future title to support in-game music
Danklown I agree.
Not sure if you know, but TVersity.com has a great Media center with a new release just last week.
Streams Internet music, your music, pictures, videos, etc….and another site viewmy.tv has a TVersity button that if you click on it, will add that TV station to TVersity.
It will play via your PS3/XBOX/WII, etc…
May not be for all, but worth a look.
I have it and love the product.
HOWS THIS FOR RUDE, grow up. i’ll type how i feel. was that rude enough for ya
you want rude, look at what our government is doning to us
http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com
thats rude, NOT TYPEING IN CAPS, thats is simply for attention…. you know, like jumping and swinging your arms around… but you were never a kid were you…
telling people what to do online is rude and i’d show you if i knew you. see… makes people mad… go figure
@516, 517, 518
the music player is under music menu when music is playing, up top
Just wanted to say “Thanks” I have the original 2.4 which worked out fine for me. I like it. I just can’t wait for more games to start supporting the various new features.
If anyone is reading these 12 pages of comments I have a question….will the trophies look like this in HOME or will they look like the trophies I have seen in various places? You know, like a 3D dragon for Lair, etc.
@565
windows media center is the easiest and comes with any windows based pc.
i have never once had a file transfer-streaming issue with it.
just set your pc to share and set up the wmc share
@559 PHREESTYLEE
the only thing i can tell you that you can tell your friend is that he should call sony and ask them if they will repair the system for you.
PHREESTYLEE I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM N I JUST GOT OFF THE FONE WITH A SNOY REP N TEHY SAID $150 TO FIX IT WITH WARRANTY SEAL IF THERES NO PROOF OF PURCHASE. THE SEAL HAS TO BE ON THERE THO… N IF THERE IS A SEAL N PROOF OF PURCHASE ITS FREE SHIPPIING THEY COVER IT
@571
better be careful typing all in caps.. the cap fairy might come spank you… its rude you know
Danklown..yep.
I have TVersity…Media center and Intel VIIV media centers all loaded and all work just fine with the PS3.
Just each one has a different feature that the others don’t so I use all 3.
@573
cool, i’ll have to check out the new tversity update. in the mean time please check this out for me
http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com
any Americans here or even others who don’t want the US ruining your lives anymore should watch this..
it questions everything we know as life…
ITS NOT REALLY RUDE UNLESS U GET OFFENDED BY CAP LETTERS
Now if they only let you access the media servers while in game for games that will support music playback instead of having to copy them to the HD.
WHICH I DOUBT
how does TVversity work with the pS3?
i live in us so idk if it available here
N PLUS I WAS MAKIN IT EASIER TO READ N SORT THROUGH BECAUSE EVERYBODY IS COMPALINING ABOUT TROPHIES AND PEOPLE ARE ASKIN QUESTIONS AND NOBODY RESPONDS SO IM HELPN A LIL
TVersity is a free program. I found it’s the easiest to setup for ppl not good at this sort of thing they have a walk through of how to set it up for PS3 users
http://tversity.com/support/quickstart/
@578….I think you can download it too….don’t think it matters where you’re at and it’s free.
They ask for donations, but that’s up to you…and it goes for more dev.
I gave the 20….as I’ve had it since January 08 and found it the only media center to stream my internet music to my home theater system via the PS3..
TVersity.com explains all for you.
Take a look over there…they just redesigned their website.
Internet music on your home theater is absolutely fantastic !
Yea its the easiest to setup a lot simpler then using media player.
Yes, now back to the “racking up” of the trophies. Would be nice if there were trophies to rack up.
SEE DANKLOWN AGREE’S THANK YOU
Okay For ANYONE WHO HAS BRICKED system

NeCrom-X I agree with both your comments.

anyone who doubts the power of greed and money
