*****The Official PS3 2.40 Firmware Discussion Thread*****

There is little nothing negative that can be said for sony giving an update like this, other than it would have been great to have it sooner.

I can see me playing my ps3 more, its amazing the difference a little trophy or achievment can make to a game.

on the flip side, i took one look at RP's score on SS after playing a few games and decided id never get anywhere near and havent touched it since :P
 
Sorry to make a comment on some of the comments of page 1.. but

We were expecting in-game XMB and trophies. We got them, why are people dissapointed? :s :s :s

Ok, so under trophies it says "There are no trophies" I thought Warhawk has trophies?
 
I think the Trophy system is great. Cannot wait to get home from work and fire up Super Stardust. Not too bothered about in-game XMB or soundtracks.

I re-added you to my friends list yesterday now the limit is increased (I realised when I was looking at Pixeljunk Monsters scores that you were not in the Friends filter. I now have completed 19/21 and 5/7 with rainbows, in the two games, respectively, and am anxious to compare results!!)

Is that single player? My 2-player score is over 27 million, perfected the entire island. :D Gonna try it in single player.
 
Bought SSHD just to see how the trophy system worked. I must be rubbish, not got one yet :( Where do I see what I need?
 
lol@ the amount of people playing SSHD on my friends list :p

I'm glad Sony have got this update out and look forward to see what they bring in the future! I must admit sony do seem to listen to the people and these constant updates are excellent, unlike MS's 1 or 2 a year(which to be fair are needed as Sony was lagging far behind MS's LIVE)

Just need to see home now and what it offers :)

open up the trophy collection under the game menu (xmb), it'll tell you what you need to do for every trophy in whatever game you have installed that supports it.

i think the update is a good foundation like i said before

but the ingame xmb is not as functional as it really should be [too many restricted items imo]
the trophies are not retroactive across the board of old titles which is a swizz
the ingame custom soundtracks is still not an option when it should apply to everything and be xmb based

i am happy with the update just a bit miffed that i cant do all the things it promised without restriction

its a powerful bit of kit and i know its capable of doing these things - so i guess im more frustrated than dissapointed

Shhhhh! Achievments!!!! :p

I really like the messaging system, dunno why, seems different to live one even though it's not. Whappers and I were having quick fire messages sent to each other while gaming. Nice...

This sudden interest in SuperStardust HD is threatening my 9 month old high scores ffs!!!

And as trophies are not retrospective I don't get any!! I will end up redoing some planets and getting trophies, if people beat my score, but I can't be bothered to redo them just for the trophies.

I bought SSHD for that too. If devs where smart they would get some patches out quick, as it would give a game with dwindling sales and right good kick. Critereon are right on the money getting their path out soon. Insomniac and Naughty dog should follow suit and get a wee resurgance in sales.
 
At the risk of Nokkon calling me predicatable... how do people think it compares to Xbox Live?

I never really used the online features a great deal when I had my 360, so what things does Live now do that PSN doesn't?
 
Not having custom soundtracks working unless the game is patched for it simply sucks to hell and back. Unacceptable to hype this firmware up for months and months only to do a u-turn and say it's not available unless the developer patches it up. Considering it's going to take up precious system memory (4-5mb) I really doubt we'll see many take it on board. The friends system is still useless for MGO. It still has no reach and no hope of touching the breadth and usability of Xbox Live.

This firmware is branded a

Failure

By yours truly. I haven't complained about the PS3 in ages though, so it's had a good run. :p

None are being applied retroactively to prevent save game swapping for trophies, also requires a patch to the game anyway, which there isn't for Warhawk yet ?

edit: though now you mention it there isn't really any reason not to apply them retroactively to Warhawk.

Yeah, I can see me using the messaging system a lot more now. I even blew the dust off my MadKatz PS3 Thumbpad this morning as I can see it getting quite a bit of use :D
