Oh, it was? Why didn’t the post mention 2.40 then? Look, your article is inaccurate, big deal. You don’t have to try and save face – you didn’t know. It’s not a big deal.

Maybe it should be called “Hidden enhancements in 2.40 and 2.41″

Sure – A.D., but this was looking at the 2.40 and 2.41 firmware versions. Some people didn’t know about the “fourth tab” and some of the other info.

So, to sum up, the new features of firmware 2.41 are:

The System Update and shutdown thing was added in 2.40,. it was on the changelog on a number of sites. Also hence why you see the message before you download the update.

The System Update shutdown was in 2.40. Hence why you see it before you update your system to 2.41. It was on a changelog somewhere

No, it wasn’t.

There was never a bold disclaimer with a checkbox for automatic shutdown after update.

“Do not turn off the system during the update. If you do, you may not be able to restart the PS3 system. Once the update is started you cannot go back to the previous version of the system software. – LinuxGuru

* Update: Apparently this was also already in Firmware 2.40 ”

I’m pretty sure this was added ages ago.

The fourth tab on the profile card was NOT in the previous update but it’s nice to see that Sony’s already improving on both the function and style of the profile card.

With the newly added and MUCH better looking Platinum trophy my hope is that the profile card will look better than it does right now. Still too plain for my tastes.

Good on Sony for not only fixing the issue but improving the speed of the XMB (and the PSN Store from what I hear). Can’t wait for E3 when we get even more goodies like Life with Playstation and more details on Home.

@DevonTheDude
It always has, it just wasn’t very loud. SSHD tends to be a noisy game too, so it usually blocked the noise out.
