Forums - Sony Discussion - New FW 2.40 What do You think?

Enough with the 2.40 firmware speculation. It is time for Sony to put up or shut up. Every time Sony is going to release a milestone firmware release like a 2.30 or 2.35 people always start these rumors.

Enough with the rumors let see what actually gets released.



Now Playing: Crysis 2

Last Finished: BulletStorm

Online IDs: PSN: computermaximus, XBL: computermaximus

Uhh, this is real. Supposedly June 12 is the release date.

Hopefully the debug firmware will leak right around that time too, which means that some serious progress could be made on turning retails PS3s into full Debug PS3s.

It does seem to have the 2d trophies which they also talked about. Looks real enough to me.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

It is kinda funny that it's a low quality video taken of a CRT TV.

It certainly would be nice if it had all the features that the video claims.

I give this thread a 9.5. 



Thank god for the disable signatures option.

Well, this should be released soon enough so we will see soon

Is the latter one in 'some say' class as well or has it been confirmed? Because MGS4 seems to have every feature (well, except for 1080p, which is very difficult to make, and destructible environment which was apparently planned but later dropped).

Seems interesting I say, no matter if it's real or not. In-game XMB is coming, that's for sure. It's just not know when but 2.40 sound like a good guess. Trophies, or whatever they're going to be called, are also kinda sure I think but 2.40 sounds pretty early. Wouldn't be surprised though.

IMO they should take out everything unnecessary from the in-game XMB; everything that can't be used (watching videos, browsing the web?). Well, that's if everything can't be used. It everything can be used it'll be a very different case.
