Jeffie1503561482 Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 40Gig Jap PS3 upgraded fine (White if thats relevant!)
jmtheo1503560626 Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 40GB Aus model here, with FW 2.40 and have not had any trouble. PS - The new media playback options are pretty cool, and I really like the clock too
jayweb Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 Sony pulled 2.40 after media reports of the update crashing consoles. I suspect they're scratching their heads trying to figure out what the problem is. Annoyed about this, havent updated just yet, thankfully I searched prior to doing so. This shouldnt happen, its a console, not windows with thousands of differences in parts worldwide requiring drivers for every little thing to make it compatible. Very disappointed, more testing needed prior to release.....
Dr. Smythe Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 Anyone know how to turn this off? It's not welcome on my screen... I have enough clocks already thank you Sony Anyone, anyone?? I've been through each menu like a hundred times now!
nadsy1503561773 Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 Anyone, anyone?? I've been through each menu like a hundred times now! looks like u cant turn it off as of yet, maybe in a new update down the track.... hopefully
Bodalenko Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 Anyone worked out how to turn the #$@! clock off yet?
kimzor Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 Anyone worked out how to turn the #$@! clock off yet? You can't...
Crash_test Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 Hope SONY let us know what the problem was...curious.
Guest knet1k Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 Anyone else having issues signing on to PSN. Taking a few goes for me last few days, Often timing out..
mlaichtastic Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 2.4 installed flawlessly (albeit slowly) on mine. I think the trophies have a long, long way to go before they match the functionality of the Xbox360 system.
Black Dawg Down Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 Does anyone know why XMB takes so much space in HDD? By my calculation it takes at least 7GB, after deducting the games save & data files, photos, music, etc. Even Windows doesn't take that much space.
The__J__Factor Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 (edited) I believe the PS3 reserves a certain amount of HDD space for game caching, so while your playing games that do utilize the PS3 HDD have the space they need to work properly. Then when you exit the game this data is deleted The above is different to installing a game on the HDD just to clear it up. PS3 Firmware isnt stored on the HDD anyway, so its not your XMB or OS taking up the space. Edited July 7, 2008 by The__J__Factor
DansDans Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 2.4 installed flawlessly (albeit slowly) on mine.I think the trophies have a long, long way to go before they match the functionality of the Xbox360 system. It sounds like its going to be "hard" to earn even a basic bronze trophy in any game.... And what are the Buzz trophies?? Been playing non-stop on Sunday and havent won one yet... Or are we anticipating there will be a patch for Buzz (god knows it needs one) - i notice when the game loads up its says 1.00 in the corner
Dr. Smythe Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 2.41 is up - downloading from PSN now... Cheers, Doc.
suldaman Posted July 8, 2008 Author Posted July 8, 2008 2.41 is up - downloading from PSN now...Cheers, Doc. ok so what does this update mean for those that never had a problem with v2.4?
DansDans Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 ok so what does this update mean for those that never had a problem with v2.4? It means we waste 130Mb of our download bandwidth for something we dont need but will stop us from getting onto the PSN. Another waste of a firmware upgrade. No doubt some mysterious people will now announce this update has bricked their console - hence the neverending cycle.

Dr. Smythe Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 ok so what does this update mean for those that never had a problem with v2.4? Ummm... name change? There's no additional functionality, but fixes whatever bugs were there in 2.40. It might just be all in my mind, but I felt that even though mine updated succesfully to 2.40 that it was still 'buggy'. Issues with XMB, issues with online gaming, issues with remote play... again, might have all been in my mind, but need to update anyways, so why fight it? Cheers, Doc.
suldaman Posted July 8, 2008 Author Posted July 8, 2008 something strange seems to be happening when i try to update to 2.41 I downloaded the update. When installing it...the install just never kicked off. It just froze on 0% for like half hour. in the end cancelled cos i realised theres something wrong. So im still on 2.4 and when i go to system update it detects that theres a newer version that i have to download AGAIN??? Never had an update freeze like that, anyone???
Cody Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 grrr, just sat down to get an hour or 2 of cod4 in and got the dreaded "system update required" message. like all other updates before it, this one is looking like it will take about an hour
auswoffer Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 Installed 2.41 Didn't take too long. Now continuing on with "The Shining".
al9 Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 It means we waste 130Mb of our download bandwidth for something we dont need but will stop us from getting onto the PSN.Another waste of a firmware upgrade.

Spoke to soon, 2.41 ko'd my ps3... these blue triangles appeared and they just rotate and nothing else happens no matter what i do
Cody Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 Spoke to soon, 2.41 ko'd my ps3...these blue triangles appeared and they just rotate and nothing else happens no matter what i do yikes, sorry to hear that al9 i hope its a local version and under warranty etc? mine ended up taking 30 minutes. now to get back to cod4..
cowabungadude Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 And what are the Buzz trophies?? Been playing non-stop on Sunday and havent won one yet... Or are we anticipating there will be a patch for Buzz (god knows it needs one) - i notice when the game loads up its says 1.00 in the corner no trophy released yet, have to wait for it to be patched. you are wasting your time chasing trophies now, they are not retroactive.
