PS3 Firmware v2.40 Walkthrough: Part 1 - The XMB

[imported_Tren]

The newest update on the PlayStation.Blog has a video walkthrough of a highly requested feature - the in-game XMB - with Eric Lempel, Director of PlayStation Network Operations.

Eric also said that the new firmware will add Trophy support in addition to some other features, to be shown in Part 2 of the walkthrough. Check it out:

Hi everyone! We know you’re all patiently waiting for the next PS3 firmware update, v2.40, which includes XMB access in-game and Trophy support. The good news is that it’s coming soon, and you can now see how accessing the XMB from in-game will work in this video demo.



Shortly, we’ll be posting another video here on the PlayStation.Blog that shows the Trophy feature in action for the first time. At that time we’ll provide even more details on how firmware v2.40 will enhance your PLAYSTATION 3 experience.

See this update from the blog here and be sure to watch the Total Gaming Network front page for Part 2 of the walkthrough, coming soon!

360 has had all of those features for more than 2 years ( I think) so in that department it has had to, obviously its technology is the latest and is the best around, but in this situation it has had to.

Nope. 360 is too far ahead to be slapped by the ps3.
