I'm from Europe, I'm supposed to be all over the PS3... but I'm not. Sorry! :)

Hey guys, don't fret! I'm loving this news as well...I'm particularly digging the 'level up' system...I've always loved leveling up in online games like Call of Duty 4. But this levels me up as a GAMER? Very cool.

It's so amazing! :D:D:D

I've been sending/receiving so many messages from GAFfers. :lolz:

Re: Playstation 3 Firmware 2.40 Walkthrough Video Part 1: The XMB
 

This just in, no Trophy support planned for either Resistance 1 or Ratchet and Clank: Future, according to Bryan Intihar on the Playstation Blog. Sad face.

Re: Playstation 3 Firmware 2.40 Walkthrough Video Part 1: The XMB
 

yeah, someone mentioned that on GAF last night. I was pretty bummed to find that out.

Re: Playstation 3 Firmware 2.40 Walkthrough Video Part 1: The XMB
 

Yeah, it's kinda unexpected too, knowing how diligent Insomniac is. I figured if anyone was going to add trophy support it would be them.

Re: Playstation 3 Firmware 2.40 Walkthrough Video Part 1: The XMB
 

Exactly, I pretty much expected it. It sucks, but whatever.

Re: Playstation 3 Firmware 2.40 Walkthrough Video Part 1: The XMB
 

Surprise! 2.40 recalled!

Hehe. I tried to find a Sony 'Fail' picture, but it hasn't been made yet.

Re: Playstation 3 Firmware 2.40 Walkthrough Video Part 1: The XMB
 

Courtesy of me.

Re: Playstation 3 Firmware 2.40 Walkthrough Video Part 1: The XMB
 

So if we already downloaded it then it should still be there, right? Or will it make us downgrade to 2.36? Either way, I'm definitely backing up all my saves before I try to play anything.

Re: Playstation 3 Firmware 2.40 Walkthrough Video Part 1: The XMB
 

I speak for all PS3 owners and most gamers alike when I say...


Sony hates its customers.

Re: Playstation 3 Firmware 2.40 Walkthrough Video Part 1: The XMB
 

No u! If they hated us then they would have just left the broken update up. Instead they took it down and are now actively searching for a solution. See, unlike Microsoft, it doesn't take Sony 2 years to realize they screwed up.

Re: Playstation 3 Firmware 2.40 Walkthrough Video Part 1: The XMB
 

PS3 owners will obviously never get a free game out of anything. Sony DOES hate its customers.

Re: Playstation 3 Firmware 2.40 Walkthrough Video Part 1: The XMB
 

Didn't this *functional* update take two years?

Re: Playstation 3 Firmware 2.40 Walkthrough Video Part 1: The XMB
 

I don't mind this, I'll just say what I said to Earl when he IM'ed me bursting with laughter:

Penguinbobby (5:40:02 PM): hahahhahahha


Auto Response from Aladuf23 (5:40:03 PM): back to work for a couple hours.. but it's not gonna be as fun because Rick went home already!

Penguinbobby signed on at 6:14:15 PM.
Aladuf23 (7:08:20 PM): wat?
Penguinbobby (7:08:28 PM): firmware 2.4 being taken down
Aladuf23 (7:08:40 PM): lol b/c of instability?
Penguinbobby (7:08:55 PM): yup
Aladuf23 (7:09:54 PM): that's ok, i was able to try it out. at least sony fixes it right away and doesn't wait half a year til another seasonal update

Re: Playstation 3 Firmware 2.40 Walkthrough Video Part 1: The XMB
 

Point Bond!

Re: Playstation 3 Firmware 2.40 Walkthrough Video Part 1: The XMB
 

You know, I do love how this thread is nearly exclusive to flunkie, uber, and myself until something "bad" happens then the GT floodgates open and it's open season all over us. You guys rule.

Re: Playstation 3 Firmware 2.40 Walkthrough Video Part 1: The XMB
 

Lol? My update/PS3/everything is fine. No problems here.

Exactly. Douches.

Re: Playstation 3 Firmware 2.40 Walkthrough Video Part 1: The XMB
 

I was here being annoying since the beginning. :)

Re: Playstation 3 Firmware 2.40 Walkthrough Video Part 1: The XMB
 

Yeah, bastards.

Re: Playstation 3 Firmware 2.40 Walkthrough Video Part 1: The XMB
 

So, about this XMB... are you now able to send messages across games, etc?

Re: Playstation 3 Firmware 2.40 Walkthrough Video Part 1: The XMB
 

Yessir, it's basically the Xbox Guide but a bit different. Instead you get the whole main menu (XMB :P) for the PS3 and you do all that stuff, custom soundtracks, in-game messaging, friends list, trophy list, trophy comparisons with friends. The only really notable things it's missing are cross game invites and in-game private chats.

But really, it makes paying for XBL a lot harder to do when you know you can have all of it for free.

Re: Playstation 3 Firmware 2.40 Walkthrough Video Part 1: The XMB
 

Why aren't there cross-game invites? Does it not show what games your friends are playing?

I was watching the video flunkie posted and it looks like the developers did a good job of utilizing all the space they have. That's an issue I have with the 360 dashboard. It extremely under utilizes the space, and I really don't like the advertisements.

Re: Playstation 3 Firmware 2.40 Walkthrough Video Part 1: The XMB
 

I'm not too sure why there aren't cross game invites, but you can see what your friends are playing. They did see that they are working on it though.

It's really not too bad seeing as all you have to do message a friend saying, "want to play MGO?" and they can respond either way. And if they want to play then joining in your match is completely easy.

Re: Playstation 3 Firmware 2.40 Walkthrough Video Part 1: The XMB
 

Is everybody done being douchebags to one another? Too much negativity about a damn firmware update up in this bitch.

Re: Playstation 3 Firmware 2.40 Walkthrough Video Part 1: The XMB
 

We'd like to think so.

Re: Playstation 3 Firmware 2.40 Walkthrough Video Part 1: The XMB
 

*shoots with negativity ray*

Re: Playstation 3 Firmware 2.40 Walkthrough Video Part 1: The XMB
 

This place needs an official announcement thread for "no fanboy ignorance and my console is better than your console" crap.

An open minded and fanboy free GT is what I crave.

Re: Playstation 3 Firmware 2.40 Walkthrough Video Part 1: The XMB
 

The internet is serious business, especially when video games are involved.

Re: Playstation 3 Firmware 2.40 Walkthrough Video Part 1: The XMB
 

You know, this is the thing:

Because you 3 are the only big PS3 fans, you feel like you have to defend it, to create some hype for it. I understand that, I've done that for years for Nintendo.

But it's just annoying. 4 pages of "woohoo it's almost out! best thing ever!" just doesn't work.

Then Sony messes up and everybody wants to laugh at you just once. Just sucks for you that there are so many of us. ;)

At least that's what I think the thing is. :)

Re: Playstation 3 Firmware 2.40 Walkthrough Video Part 1: The XMB
 

I think we're trying to mostly introduce this console to these forums because before my arrival I'm sure you count on one hand how many threads popped up here that related to the PS3.

4 pages of "woohoo it's almost out" worked for us because who else was coming in here? Surely nobody else besides Vampyr for a bit and Dyne for 1 or 2 posts.

This place has been since I arrived here 1 big Wii/360 circle jerk. And I sat back not having the chance to talk about my favorite console because really, who here gave a shit about it? Now a few of us have arrived and some have emerged and now we have our chance to do what you guys do for the other consoles.

So here's how it goes, we make the thread, and as usual 95% of GT could care less because it has to do with the PS3. The we get it, we love it, and we say that. Well, the next day Sony retracts the firmware or as you say "messed up" when in fact all they did is retract it because part of the firmware download was botched for some people and they are actually fixing it immediately (unlike MS who will make your ass wait for their next seasonal update) and you guys all come out of nowhere with this anti-Sony/PS3 bullshit. Is it totally necessary for that anyways? Because myself, uber, and flunkie could care less if it was retracted because our firmware is working perfectly and we think it's great of Sony to be fixing it so promptly.

Now, I can understand some console ribbing and whatnot, this is a gaming forum. But why is it that me and flunkie are heckled about the same shit going on on here by this forums damn "Gaming side" Moderator? And I know this doesn't apply to you guys and it's separate from here but we have to put up with this shit so much that it gets very annoying because it's a constant barrage. flunkie ended up blocking BaB on AIM yesterday because his shit just wouldn't end, and it's that fanboy ignorance that pisses flunk and ourselves off.

And then when we make some peace in this thread and discuss the PS3 some and all is well BaB goes and makes a post in the podcast exploratory thread about changing the name of the podcast to "2.4 failure". Why, was a peaceful resolution in here not enough? Guess not.


To wrap this impromptu rant up, I just want to say that I'm not mad here, I'm just hoping we can eliminate some of this fanboy crap around here, because these forums are very cool.

Re: Playstation 3 Firmware 2.40 Walkthrough Video Part 1: The XMB
 

Well I will neither disagree or agree here.
IT wasn't just a lack of Sony stuff. The forums were slow in general for a while.

Now this I do take issues with.
If you have a problem with me fine, but take it up with me in PM or over AIM.
And if you till don't think that won't resolve it. Take it up with Bond or Dyne or anyone here who outranks me. It doesn't need to be here.
As for Flunkie blocking me on AIM as far as I know I said nothing to him. This is the only conversation I held with him.
Again, if you have an issue with me take it up with me seperate.
I would point out that I didn't come up with the name, it was Dyne. I only posted it, but eh I will take responsibility for putting it out in the public so whatever.
And it was "Broken 2.40" if you are going to use it. Get it right.
