    Re: PS3 firmware 2.40 down

    Warranty Question: If the new 2.40 update "bricked" my system and I'm in the one year warranty time window and I have the receipt, will Sony send me a brand new system?

        Has anyone with an 80GB gotten it to install successfully? Or had trouble with it?

          I'm not even going to try to install it through a USB device. It's easy to do, but I don't want to brick my console if there is something wrong with the firmware update and certain consoles. Hopefully Sony will come up with another update early to mid next week.

            I've done updates all the time through USB. It does the same exact process where it will copy the information, verify it is intact, and then proceed with the update.

            Honestly, I think people are being TOO paranoid about this whole thing...

                  Just to add on again, played 2 more games of MLB The Show last night and still no problems, its a little jerky when going to the XMB from within game but it doesnt lock anything up or freeze anything up, so far so good.

                    I've got the 80 GB, and it's worked flawlessly for me so far.

                      Re: PS3 firmware 2.40 down

                      Is anyone else let down by the update? I assume it was partly due to it being built up as the greatest thing but, as nice as trophies can be, there isnt a single trophy for a game I have any interest in playing, Im sure messaging while in a game will come in handy at some point but have only used it a couple times so far so for me there isnt much with this update that excites me at this point. Secondly, SCEA needs to improve upon the trophy system, it just doesnt seem nearly as cool as the achievements for the 360, and secondly since I dont have any games that support this right now, is there a list of what you need to do to get those trophies or is it just random? When is home supposed to be coming out? When that comes out, what is it going to add that is going to make it that much better?

                        I think the trophy system is fine. I like the leveling up system and the break down of the trophies. My biggest thing is the lack of games with trophies and of course the unlocked sound which is pretty much muted.

                        But all this was inevitable. Xbox 360's dashboard/achievement system is awesome. But you can't play that just like you can't play the XMB. It looks like many people though the update would provide some kind of entertainment. Games provide entertainment. This just kind of gives you the tools to further enjoy those games. Unfortunately no games except Super StarDust (which has been pulled) support trophies.

                        It also doesn't help that many developers stated they won't go back to patch old games. That list now consists of Infinity Ward, 2K Games, Codemasters, Ubisoft, and Insomiac. It is now becoming clear we won't see full trophy support till fall of 08 or later. Except for games like Warhawk, Burnout, Drakes Fortune and PSN games.

                        One other big downer is 2.40 isn't really out; it was pulled. This has to be a pretty big hit. The excitement was huge for this update and I'm sure Sony was really excited to bring all these features. Now to have to pull it has to put a sting on the whole situation.

                          I get all that it just seems that when looking at others trophies its so bland, there isnt anything there to get excited over, nothing to push yourself for, imo. I know I sound stupid, but the achievements just seemed to have more substance to them, the trophy system seems like it was rushed and half-assed. I want to like the trophies because I have no plans to pick up a 360 again at any point but between there being no sound, the bland presentation, the lack of support from any games currently anyways makes this all much ado about nothing.

                          To add to this, when I look at someones achievements I can see exactly what goals they accomplished, I can click on a game and see the list of goals for that game. With the trophies I click on someone and it shows they have some trophies and thats it, doesnt specify what they are for, how he got them, what others are available for that game, its just boring to me.

                            You can go to compare trophies and it will be exactly like XBL has it. No difference at all. I don't understand how the trophy system is half assed, I think it is perfect with minor things to work on.

                              I did that and I dont remember seeing how he got the trophy, just that he had it, maybe Im forgetting something. I might be a little harsh with my half-assed comment, I just thought it was going to have more substance then it does. If SCEA is going to refine it over time then it should get better, and maybe I just built it up to be better then it is now so Im dissapointed, but it just doesnt get me excited to achieve anything at this point.

                                The guys over at PS3trophies.org claim they figured out the trophy formula.
                                2 bronze trophies = 1 silver trophy
                                3 silver trophies = 1 gold trophy
                                6 bronze trophies = 1 gold trophy.
