2.40 is out, go download it now

by Majed Athab { Jul 1st 2008 at 11:48PM }

It's that time again, firmware update time. The huge one is finally here: 2.40. So, without a doubt, we're sure you're all very anxious to go grab it already. Five bucks says most of you didn't even bother to read what is being written here and just saw the headline and ran off on us. We don't blame you. With that, we'll keep it short and enjoy our new firmware features.

[Thanks Tim P., and everyone who sent this in!]

Update: Super Stardust HD patch is live. The 255MB download will add trophies to your game.

Installing right now, and this was the incentive I needed to buy Superstardust HD.

nobody528 @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:06AM

Haha same here! I just bought it

Shaun @ Jul 1st 2008 11:54PM

heh heh. that's exactly what happened!

gundamfan @ Jul 1st 2008 11:57PM

Is the one on the PSN site 2.40? The image still says 2.36, but it's been out of date in the past.

DankandSticky @ Jul 1st 2008 11:57PM

what are the things in this picture ive been looking all day...??? anybody know???

Daniel @ Jul 1st 2008 11:58PM

trophies from super stardust HD

DankandSticky @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:01AM

But the names are so different... and beside it, do you see faintly the Gran Turismo symbol... what are all the other faded symbols... hmmmm can anyone see??

Paul (PSN: heypaul) @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:16AM

Those are just mock ups of trophies for games that don't exist. When was the last time you heard of games with names as generic as Super Wheels or Travel the Solar System on anything other than your TI-83?

Snutz @ Jul 2nd 2008 1:42AM

The trophies list is accessed from the games column, so those faint symbols you're seeing are just other objects in the games column. Specifically, it's GT: Prologue, some game I haven't seen, the Uncharted demo, and Flow. Have nothing to do with the trophies.

Lars @ Jul 2nd 2008 2:34PM

Grr... I was looking all over for a game called "Travel the Solar System" too.

:~(

Tim Parsons @ Jul 1st 2008 11:57PM

Anthony is made of pure, undiluted win.

Seba501 @ Aug 2nd 2008 10:53PM

Downloading ......................

But we still need the update from the developers, for Trophies in a game

Dehshizknight @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:06AM

Lol, I would have ran off but, since I didn't have access to the PS3, I actually stuck around to read this.

But you still get $5.... Man, if you actually got the money, you would be freaken rich!

Jed @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:09AM

I read the rest, I currently have it downloading. It will probly be about another half hour before it finishes. After that, you better watch out for all my trophies.

McKey1991 @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:12AM

Fuck yeah!

spyker @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:07AM

Thanks for the tip! Just started. Any clue how big it is?

spyker @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:08AM

Oh, it says it right there. Ya... I didn't read it ;).

spyker @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:09AM

Oh.. that's SSDHD. Ya, I really didn't read it.

Sinistar @ Jul 2nd 2008 1:26AM

I hope they fix the random bluetooth disconnecting problems in this firmware update too.

TriFF51 @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:08AM

So hopefully a stardust update within the next 2 hours? please? no? yes!?

spyker @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:09AM

You didn't read it either :P.

"Update: Super Stardust HD patch is live."

TriFF51 @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:18AM

Game_playa @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:09AM

spyker @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:14AM

Oh crap.... just like gamerpoint whores :\.

drdre74 @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:09AM

cool beans.

decimalator @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:13AM

What? I was too busy downloading 2.40 to read beyond "2.40 is out... .... ..." something something something.

golden sapphire @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:12AM

well now that is here, im willing to bet the only thing left for ps3 owners to complain about is the price or the size of the console or whatever...

FLiPPiN_OuT @ Jul 2nd 2008 2:24AM

Eh, I still need 1080i game support for my 480p/1080i TV.

DankandSticky @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:12AM

AM i the Only person who sees the Gran Turismo Symbol on the left of the bright SSHD symbols..... and does anyone know what those other symbols are???

lucasbbadur @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:14AM

Yeah, trying to download.
Guess a lot of people are doing it too.

why not the LS2LS7? @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:15AM

Am I going to get trophies in Hot Shots Golf now?

KidQwik @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:18AM

Ummm. I just downloaded, it installed, then when the PS3 rebooted it now says "Cannot start. The correct hard disk was not found." WTF!!?!?!

Wayne @ Jul 2nd 2008 3:50AM

Sucks to be you :(

PirateThom @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:18AM

What's the version number for Super Stardust HD with trophies. Mine is 3.00, but it's not trying to patch, is it because I'm in Europe and have to deal with SCEE?
