That was fast. Just a matter of hours after mentioning it on its official blog, SCEA has flipped the switch and gone live with v2.36 of the PlayStation 3 firmware.
According to the release notes, this revision merely introduces some stability fixes for certain PS1 titles. The real biggie everyone's waiting for is firmware 2.4, which today was confirmed to include in-game XMB support along with the introduction of "trophies," something Sony promises we'll learn more about "soon."
Just when we'd come back from the suggested 15-minute break from MGS4, too!
[Thanks, SoCoolCurt!]

it couldnt have been cause my crappy ass internet has been signing me on and off all day and this time when i signed back in a little bit ago, it prompted for the update.
plus they did just announce it this afternoon, which is amazing in and of itself.

Yeah I skimmed over that Joystiq post and when I fired up my PS3 tonight I was prompted to update to the new firmware. Thats why I assumed it had been available the entire day.
Metal Gear Online is off the chain insane. I suck at it for the time being but I will not fully commit myself to it until I play through MGS 4 at least once. I wish all of the content was made available on PSN instead of through the Konami portal.

My bets are on E3. MGS4 and in-game XMB, a one two punch.

So........ "trophies"
this is the part where Sony needs to backtrack it's statements about how the gaming populace doesn't care about achievements.
