PS3 firmware v2.36 available now

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!

Actually just finished the update and install. I thought it had been out all day.
SoCoolCurt (PSN: KillaKornbread) @ Jun 17th 2008 11:38PM
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.

Bah, I didn't care for the beta and they didn't do much with the final game for online. Feels tacked on. But it is neat, with the porno and whatnot. Atleast the single player was fun.
SoCoolCurt (PSN: KillaKornbread) @ Jun 17th 2008 11:36PM
in-game XMB is almost here now.
Jtenma @ Jun 17th 2008 11:37PM
Would it then be wrong to assume that 2.40 will be released at 11pm tomorrow?
SoCoolCurt (PSN: KillaKornbread) @ Jun 17th 2008 11:39PM
we can dream but i wouldnt bet my Star Wars glasses on it.
Jtenma @ Jun 17th 2008 11:41PM
Star Wars...glasses...wow.
SoCoolCurt (PSN: KillaKornbread) @ Jun 17th 2008 11:43PM
not im pressed by the glasses? well how about my holographic Charizard 1st edition? my pokemans, let me show u dem.
oh yea, i went there.
Jtenma @ Jun 17th 2008 11:47PM
Oh no you did' unt...
But wow, you still have the pokemans cardz...those would prbably go for some cash now right? I would definitely hold on to those.
SoCoolCurt (PSN: KillaKornbread) @ Jun 18th 2008 1:22AM
well i dont really have Star Wars glasses (was watching Family Guy and Peter said it) but i do still have my Pokemon cards. i doubt they are worth much now but maybe like 70 years down the road or something, ill hold on to them just in case.

RoboChamp @ Jun 17th 2008 11:58PM
My bets are on E3. MGS4 and in-game XMB, a one two punch.

Carrot + String = Sony's firmware update plan
Dustin @ Jun 18th 2008 3:01AM
So........ "trophies"
this is the part where Sony needs to backtrack it's statements about how the gaming populace doesn't care about achievements.
why not the LS2LS7? @ Jun 18th 2008 9:22AM
You have a link to those statements of Sony's?
Vcize @ Jun 18th 2008 10:05AM
One stop closer to 2.40

GTAIV still locks up on my 60GB PS3 so what exactly was this suppose to fix? I wish they would go in detail as to what games it was suppose to fix, very frustrating.
Inect @ Jun 18th 2008 1:01PM
ps1?
Bonz @ Jun 20th 2008 5:34AM
your gta is locking up... strange i doubt that is a FW prob all my friends and I as well have the 60gig with no probs when running gta but i do believe it said that it was suppose to fix some ps1 titles... so big update and nothing good about it.... *sigh* might as well do it give my eyes a break from mgs4 =)
