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!
Great News, thanks for the update.
Ok, my older brother has a lame internet connection that only allows a certain amount of downloads per day. (I think the limit is 300MB, which is why I said it’s lame). He wants to download the latest firmware update via his work internet connection.
My question is, he didn’t get 2.40 and would like to go from his latest (I think 2.36) to 2.41. Is this possible? Or does 2.40 need to be installed, and then 2.41?
At the moment, only 2.36 is being shown on the download page.
Thanks!
I didn’t have any problems with the 2.40… But I’m happy to see that the 2.41 seems to be faster :) Accessing the XMB and so :)
So far I’m very happy with the updates and the way it’s going :)
Thanx :)
Thanks sony yer Real sh** job there Now My GTA wont start !!!
sony please no need to apologies. i mean it been like 6 days but still that doesnt bother me, anyone(cept microsoft?) would take an update(or any downloadable items) offline if there was enough complains about the update going wrong at any time.
so please no need to apologies we thank you for correcting this problem without make it seem like an hassle for every one…
sincerely,
a dedicated fan
@202
Relax, its probably something you’re overlooking. All my games work fine including GTA IV. Are you putting in the 360 version? LOL
Just Says “PLAYSTATION” then goes black screen until i switch off the power at the back
!
great thanks a lot for the update!! everything went smoothly and quick. now i’ve just gotta wait for some games to include trophy system.
@124 Spyder-97
Try asking adobe
I just have 1 comment about the update though. I’m not complaining I LOVE everything you did for us recently. I just want to ask 1 thing is there anyway in the next update you guys can include an option to change the key used with Del key to delete everything?
I’m a fast typer and so when I make a mistake i automatically go and hit the delete key but when I’m typing with caps (habit) I generally end up deleting everything about once everytime I type out a long message.
If you could set up an option in the keyboard settings to allow us to set it up for the alt key, or the ctrl key it should help those of us who automatically correct spelling at 90+ AWPM a ton. Nothing like wanting to fix your grammar on the fly, and deleting EVERYTHING you just typed to really get annoying. After 3 times doing it back to back I’m about to just stop wanting to messaging lol.
Hey Guys,
as Pohlio (203) just said. Thank you very much for all your efforts to make our PSN so much more interesting and bigger. The Playstation will always be my favourite console and I am happy about every single thing you guys better up by patching the firmware.
Now, I would really love if you could only put the Stardust Patch and the expansion back and available for update. We all want to get these trophies you were talking about. But only few can collect them. =/
Finally, please continue your work on our system. The community will thank you. I am still doing it.
Best regards,
another dedicated fan.
WOW Dont you just love it when you pay £40 fo a game and it keeps crashing :D theres nothing like it.
i think we have progress after several turn off try agains’ the game now goes as far as the pictures then black then finally loads after about 20 mins
i would love a list of games that will be on compatible with the trophies……..:)
…and yes there are people who are hatin’ like aron912(gt@4 problems)and there are ppl like cabrito who are cheering over ur work.
ppl who help others as well as giving helpful sugestions(typeF).and lastly in my list ppl who are asking for patches/updates for games… i mean it something is wrong in a game it needs fixed(+we need more trophies)
sincerely,
A devoted fan
Thanks for the post Sony.
Finally, so some of these people will stop complaining and know can understand you have been working on this and a fix is in store.
See people, if you wait, good things do happen.
anyone know if there will be trophies soon for games like MGS4 or GTA 4 ?????? :) thanks
(i am both devoted and dedicated… im just that awsome)
now with this update No one(not even XBOX) can say anything lol :)
@Astroboy | July 8th, 2008 at 4:49 am
“Among the new ability of not bricking your console; the minor update adds a new 4th “tab” to show your last played game, time and date.”
Err…. I can’t seem to find this 4th tab. Can anyone else??????
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Nope no extra tab here.
actualy thanks godF.93kd y did gta4 have and up date like yester day or something?(v1.02)
@182
You miss my point.
I do appreciate the intricacies of software, but I fail to understand how a global company can leave their consumers in the dark for almost a week following a travesty of a firmware upgrade.
In the same sense, you obviously don’t ‘do’ CRM.
does any one have a list of games ???? for the trophies>>? ??:)

PS3 Software Trophy Support List
We gave you the story of the classic PS3 trio of software that won’t be getting Trophy support, but we still don’t have the official, definitive word on which games will, and which games won’t. We have heard from several sources that about 70% of PS3 titles will support Trophies, but again, we don’t have a specific set of lists.
Well, it’d be difficult to compile, but if you want to check an ongoing updated list, head on over to TheSixthAxis, where they’re currently setting up a “yes, no, and maybe” list for the trophy support subject. As you can see, that trio of Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Resistance: Fall of Man is under the “Will Not Support Trophies” category, as we reported earlier. But it’s the other lists that should interest you, and that includes the “Expected To Support Trophies;” it only includes one game right now: Bioshock. We imagine this is true, because we’ve heard plenty of evidence that this PS3 remake will most certainly boast Trophies. Chances are, 2K was well aware of them when they started on the project.
Anyway, keep checking back as they update it, and we’ll be sure to keep you apprised of any major, big-name titles that will or will not support Trophies. Well, at least for now; eventually, most all games will, so it won’t be much of an issue.
I have release 2.40 and all that I see is still fine.
Games are running fine, the trophies on SSHD are working.
No problems here.
@214 there’s a site that’s posting what games will, will not and maybe will have the trophies coming.
The site is called thesixthaxis.com.
They’re apparently updating as they hear news.
Here’s what they’ve stated so far:

Hope that helps.
Excellent.. I’m looking forward to playing my old games if they decide to patch em for trophies..good job Sony.
@223..you beat me to it….thks….at least others are helping out here…appreciate it.
@217
No i cant see the tab i chacked people with trophies and people without, Anyone See it ???
O and update on GTA IV situation…….IT still dosnt work!
FW 2.41 ROCK n ROLL!
One suggestion for the future.
In terms of ‘download management’, I would like the option for the PS3 to turn off once all downloads have been completed.
Therefore, I will be able to leave my PS3 on overnight whilst my content downloads, before it kindly switches itself off for me.
@211 godfather93kd
E3 will have some news about that…
E3 is gonna rock
@227 aron912
Ask Rockstar
damn out of all the games i was expecting a game like COD 4 to support it ……
Damn an edit button would be handy, I feel like spamming around here :-D … next question to be answered:

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
To get trophies in Stardust HD you’ll need a patch update first, called 4.00. This automatically pops up as soon as you starting SSHD, many people around here have been asking when the update is back online. If you have this update already, go to the “game” map, in there you’ll find the “trophy collection” map, with games supporting trophies, in this case should that be SSHD and a full list of trophies to obtain. But again, then you need to SSHD 4.00 update installed.
WHAT ABOUT GTA LOL….will it support trophies…..does anyone have a comment on that one?? or something?
Sony please add .MOV playback!!!
And also better support for Xvid!
Finally!
Thank you sony. :)
I hope when i arrive at home it still ther for download.
Cross-invite system?
Voice messaging?
Private chat?
…where are these features Sony?
It would be handy to call people by their user-name, personally I’m searching like crazy to which post belongs to who, does he talk to me or not :-D

Hmm being a bit confused now, when you press on the people their user ID you’ll get their profile few, with as first the trophies in screen, below is a tab with “compare trophies” do you mean that? If so, its still there.
Hi, I love the update and I admire your hard work and dedication to your customers Sony.
I was wondering if it we’re possible to implement an option to customize what tabs I want to appear in the in-game XMB.
Although I like the the fully detailed XMB that appears in-game, I’d like the option to select just the Settings,Music,Game and Friends tabs to display for my in-game XMB.
I really like the Trophy system and the new Platinum graphic.
I think I speak for everyone by saying:
Please make Trophies a requirement for devs from now on. Custom soundtracks aswell.
nice
For me the additions/cleanup can come in future updates.
It’s only Tuesday and the 2.41 patch is out and downloadable….so Sony beat the Wednesday deadline.
I think some of these posters owe Sony an apology.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I’ve been checking on any official info about that, but “unknown”, sorry. Maybe with their update, who knows.
@GGCAN, agree again :-)
great job Sony…
@241
An apology for what, exactly?
It was Sony’s shoddy workmanship and inability to fulfill promises that caused this mess in the first place, don’t forget.
@238
Onna76_NL | July 8th, 2008 at 5:33 am
No someone said there is a 4th tab that allows you to see when the user was last on what game they played ect.. but i and others cant see it.
K GTA finally working now.
CANT WAIT FOR LITTLE BIG PLANET!!
@239
I believe trophies are mandatory all games being released will have them some being released soon might not at release because of time restraints and all old games at some point will get them. If people would stop spreading mis-information and learn on to read they would have figured it out.
“Currently, there are no plans to add Trophies to Resistance and Ratchet & Clank. Right now, our number one focus is finishing Resistance 2 and making it the best game possible,”
no plans right now, of course not because they are making a game and no matter what people tell you about it only taking a half a day is a lie as they have to come up with trophies and it’s art, they go through the whole code and put in checkers through it all so the game knows what and when to unlock and then they have to go through all the QA process, etc. etc.
Eric Lempel says this:
GameSpy: Does Sony have a deadline, loose or rigid, for developers to implement trophies into existing titles?
Lempel: We’re working with developers to hit a deadline. It’s not something that we’re trying to force on them, since it eats into their development schedules. Many of them want to do it. It’s just there’s some additional work on their end; someone has to create art and assets, and we don’t want to interfere with what they’re currently working on. Ultimately, we’ll have trophies for every game, but we didn’t want to force it on them immediately.
as for in-game music that is a useless feature and I don’t care when/if that ever happens.
If something big happens like this in the products life you have to expect waiting.
E3 is happening soon and who knows, we may all see some great announcements coming from that too.
Like I said before, 2008 has been a great year and we’re only half way through.
Rumours of Home beta in Sep 08 and full in 2009, more games getting trophies.
I for one am a happy camper.
YEA LOL ALL 360 FAN BOYS PLEASE EXIT THE BLOG…..THANX SONY
