FIRM WARE UPDATE 2.4

about bloody time... thats all im going to say.

now that we finally have it... it does feel like the PS3 was never quite finished.
good thing we can have updates ay.

my 2 main problems before the update were messing about with regristing headsets whilst in game and sending messages or reading messages whilst i or they were in game.

both these have now been resolved


the one down side to the upgrade though has something to do with the trophy system.

i refuse to replay my old completed games just to unlock trophies for when they get patched!!
this of course exempts MGS4 which i could play over and over again
but most of my games ive traded in and wish it could give you the trophies according to your progress in yr save file. im sure theres millions of flaws in that theory, but its still a bummer!

may need to start renting for a bit

either way a big thumbs up from me!

"""The official Web site of Burnout Paradise's developer, EA-owned Criterion Games, also revealed the patch will be the first update to retroactively award trophies automatically. "Trophies will be awarded based on your progress in your existing save game," the developer said in a statement. "When the update arrives the trophies you have earned will reflect the progress you've made in the game at that time (so you won't have to replay the game again to earn trophies)."""

i took this from the GameSpot website.
OMG!!!!!

this is what im talking about. common sense


"""Speaking to GameSpot last week, Lempel indicated no PS3 games would be awarded trophies retroactively, and no other such patches have been announced. It appears that Criterion was able to include the functionality by planning ahead for trophies' inclusion. "We can reveal that this is why your Burnout Paradise save game has always been locked to your PlayStation Network id--so we could guarantee that when PlayStation Trophies arrived that your save game would reflect your progress," the developer stated."""

AH CRAP!

FIRMWARE update 2.41 has just been released after 2.4 got taken off, due to it knackering up peoples PS3's a bit.
so all should be well now and have the in game XMB working properly

(((i still dont have a trophy!!!)))

I think that they should release a new update that allows you to listen to the music you have put onto your ps3 while in-game. That would be excellent!

The xbox has this feature, WHY NOT US???
