FW 2.40 Is NOT Coming June 10th
We normally report good news, but its unfortunate that right now I am here to report BAD news.
I have just received word that the elusive, and anticipated firmware update 2.40 for the PlayStation 3 console, will NOT be available for update tomorrow.
I was also told its TRUE that the debug version did have some bugs. Exactly what bugs they are encountering is still unknown.
Rest assured that FW 2.40 is INDEED on its way and all the features we have leaked will be IN the update.
PlayStation LifeStyle will do our best to bring you the exact release date.
We will keep you updated, if any we receive any further information…
UPDATE
CONFIRMED:

You know the drill - a few days before firmware updates, we give you the lowdown. That hasn’t changed.
What else hasn’t changed: if you don’t see it here, take what you read with a grain of salt.
NOTE: The good thing is that this would have been an opportunity for him to debunk FW 2.40 features, if they weren’t true.

So those features include:
- Custom Soundtrack
- In-Game XMB
- Trophies
What else?

Well, I still have MGS4, that’s what I own the PS3 for anyway. Games my friend. Games

It figures…Oh well heres to the 18th
June 10, 2008 at 3:11 am
Man sev i feel bad for you. Not because you did anything wrong, it happens with insider info like this. Its because people on n4g are going to ignore reason and understanding. They will opt you to say your not reliable and probably a whole bunch of people will complain about an unconfirmed date that was subject to change anyway for xmb and will most likely blame you.
Hopefully the xmb shows up on the 12 or 18 that would be nice
This might have hurt a lot if mgs4 wasnt releasing but since it is i can wait a month or two if need be.
June 10, 2008 at 3:16 am
eh thats too bad
o well… I thought they needed the update for mgs4, but apparently not!
June 10, 2008 at 3:19 am
hey just plz give us a date! now that we know all taht good stuff will be in it, now june 10 is gone. check out june 18 from your insiders quick! i really wanna know just hopefully not july
June 10, 2008 at 3:28 am
We all want to know a release date, hell, I want 2.40 on my PS3 right now!
However we will not announce another released date unless its concrete.
The release date we received before was always “subject to change” its unfortunate, but it HAS changed.
June 10, 2008 at 3:31 am
Sev, so were looking at a july launch then , right, i mean, thats what those neogaf guys were stating, oh well
June 10, 2008 at 3:37 am
lennygundam,
I cant comment on that because I havent heard back yet as to when.
June 10, 2008 at 4:43 am
Well we were told that 2.40 would come before MGS4 but apparently thats not the case anymore. OH well really. they are only taking the extra time to fix it so we get the best experience. I dont blindly follow Sony, but usually when rumors and videos come up of an update it means the update is close. id say 18th or maybe 25
June 10, 2008 at 5:00 am
Thanks for the news! This is going to probably the best firmware update EVAR!
June 10, 2008 at 5:19 am
Dont worry you guys I think it will be out this month the small bugs are only the issue, im pretty sure they will fix that in a few days or so, it shouldnt take another month for that unless it has a major problems,thanks Sev for the info
June 10, 2008 at 5:58 am
Sorry guys. But it appears 2.40 has been delayed. These things happen.
June 10, 2008 at 6:21 am
yeah mgs4 and battlefield bc both have trophies so i reckon they will be giving some info out this week

I’m still gun crazy on Call of Duty 4!
I’m now having to wait for call of Duty 6 cause Infinity Ward has to wait for number 6. Figures that COD5 has to go back to a WW2 theme…..
2.40 was delayed till June 18th
No biggie
June 10, 2008 at 7:11 am
No probs with that, i can wait.
and at this time i will play MGS4.
Outer Heaven will be unleashed by Liquid and i must stop him LOL
June 10, 2008 at 8:09 am
Ahh guess will have to wait..thanks for the news,(not in bad way)
June 10, 2008 at 9:13 am
Aw, this sucks! I was really hoping for it before MGS4.
Oh well ,as long as it is soon… speaking of which, do you guys know anthing about the PSP 4.0 firmware update?
June 10, 2008 at 9:14 am
oh well , let’s play the waiting game again
June 10, 2008 at 10:26 am
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh.
am sick of waiting
can you please give us a DATE for the relase for the FW2.40 ??
man just give me anything to make me feel happy
June 10, 2008 at 11:56 am
SONY has never made a official statement about the firmware 2.40, so dont get mad guys.
Maybe it will come on june 18 ,maybe before E3…
No problem, MGS4 its comming… the great MGS4 is comming

June 10, 2008 at 2:32 pm
Dont worry ……………………………….
we all know how it is the software development business.
If they fund a bug and fix it , they have to check it all over again, against all the PS3 models ,on every game ,it take time.
So no prob,……………………………….
June 10, 2008 at 3:25 pm
Sorry DR-DEATH but we have NO date what so ever.

June 10, 2008 at 4:23 pm
yeah guys im dissapointed too but im sure it has to come this month because metal gear solid 4 has trophies in it and so battlefield bad company hell maybe the update will somehow be in metal gear solid 4 they were talking about there being a surprise in it
June 10, 2008 at 4:26 pm
Technically, it isn’t even summer yet
It will be out soon enough. I would rather have them get a good product out than have a buggy one and wait for 2.41 or whatever.
June 10, 2008 at 4:56 pm
I’d be even more sad if MGS wasn’t coming out this week.
June 10, 2008 at 5:18 pm
@West Coast G
Dude dont even say that. Dont.
June 10, 2008 at 6:00 pm
Definitely not great news, but it’s still not horrible. Just means it may take another few weeks. The FW is basically done except for the bugs that popped up, so depending on the amount of bugs, the severity and the difficulty to fix… we still may not have to wait too much longer.
June 10, 2008 at 6:20 pm
I still have hopes we will see this update very soon.
June 10, 2008 at 6:40 pm
Hope it doesn’t take to long for them to fix the bugs or whatever stalls this update. Anyway, let’s enjoy the summer and MGS4 or play the waiting game.
BTW, has it ever been this much anticipation for a PS3 firmware update? I personally don’t think so.
June 10, 2008 at 6:57 pm
ma cosa è questa roba? spero di poterci capire qualcosa prima possibile
June 10, 2008 at 7:15 pm
and one packet of fire sauce.

“NOTE: The good thing is that this would have been an opportunity for him to debunk FW 2.40 features, if they weren’t true.”
The bad thing is by not debunking anything we still are left with no more information than when he posted that reply. He did not confirm, deny, or hint at any kind of fw release information.
June 10, 2008 at 8:30 pm
Us playstation fans try to stay POSITIVE about things, even though sometimes things look BLEEK. So, ‘by not debunking anything we still are left with no more information than when he posted that reply.’ is probably a good thing since he DIDN’T DENY it. I’ve been a playstation user for a little over a decade and as a playstation fan and supporter, WE MUST STAY POSITIVE! ;D Lets look at it like the glass if HALF FULL!
June 10, 2008 at 9:37 pm
It’s coming tomorrow, Just you see.
June 10, 2008 at 9:38 pm
Erm, Not tomorrow, sorry, i meant the 12th.

June 11, 2008 at 10:42 am
It’s not coming before MGS4, sadly.
June 17, 2008 at 1:25 am
Fingers crossed for tomorrow.
June 17, 2008 at 6:02 pm
