Looks like the software engineers at Sony have finished tweaking firmware 2.40. The much-anticipated firmware update included crucial features, like in-game XMB and trophies, but was pulled shortly after its release due to reports of bricked systems. Now, a few days after the controversial removal of firmware 2.40 from Sony's servers, firmware 2.41 is available to download worldwide. Turn on your PS3 and hit Network Update to get started.
[Thanks, Seth C.!]

This was a reply to a spammer earlier...I suppose he/she got blasted off the internets by the Joystiq Mjolnir of Ban.

HELEN WILL BE CRUSHED USING THE CLAN [GHEY] HAMMER! Did you finally get into Battlefield the other night? I gave up and played Halo 3 for the first time in months...now that game is DEFINITELY being shelved until the next LAN party. WAY too slow for my tastes...I'm itchin' to get back on BF:BC and rank up.

Yup, I was off work yesterday and played in the morning. The game is just awesome online. The campaign is pretty good too. I'm at level 7, hopefully get to level 8 and get some more ch33voz tonight. Its just a great change of pace from COD4 with the destruction, grittyness and sound. Great buy for all shooter/MP fans out there.
Oh and I agree Halo 3 is a little too slow and I miss the sprint button >:( thats avail on other games. I still played it for a while yesterday and had some good ole sticky bomb fun with it.

@ ThePerfectCompanion:
What are you gabbing on about? You don't have to back up or replace the HDD on the PS3. Its a good option for those who know how to...grab a hard drive...and plug the USB chord into the PS3. Complicated stuff for sure.

Hopefully the Super Stardust HD 4.00 update is back up, I couldnt get it to update last time I tried, so I still have no Trophies :(

does anyone know if you can run a system update via remote play? I'm not getting back to my ps3 until Friday, and would love to update it before that.

You can't unfortunately. Maybe because a system restart is required, which would disconnect you from Remote Play. But that's just a guess.

2.41 is causing me all kind of problems as I try to play COD4. 2.40 went smoothly for me tho.

@ FenixKnight
Technology is what it is, made by humans, so it can be faulty.
360's can be bricked 8 times or more. Might not be the same serial numbered 360 u get back that bricks 8 times (which is the point I believe you are trying to state), I personally know someone who is on 360 number 7, the guy is a neat freak with all his video game equipment and storage so no ventilation problems, etc.
Now Im not sure if it was the same serial number on the 7 units he's been through or coulda ben like 3 different serials, who knows.
But it can happen, and also, if im not mistaken either on the 1up podcast or CAGcast, someone mentioned there was a story written about one guy who's 360 bricked 12 or 13 times (one of those 2) but that's rare, that's prolly why they wrote a story or mentioned it.
