PS3 Update 2.41

Sony have finally let me update my PS3. After trying – and failing – to get my PS3 up to scratch over the last week, I’ve now at last been able to update my console.

This update brought about the much talked about ‘in game XMB’, meaning the screen you get when you turn on the PS3 is now available in-game. And they’ve also added another Xbox 360 style feature with ‘Trophies’.

Working in much the same way as gamerpoints, it now gives added incentive to complete, or even buy, games. Nice to see Sony have brought these features in, at last! The reason for the delay in me getting this update was that the original 2.40 one apparently started bricking consoles.

So, Sony saved me from a fate worse than death and didn’t let download 2.40, instead waiting a few days more for the refined update. Hurrah!
