Check your PlayStation 3 now guys and gals, because Firmware v2.40 is now released!
New features added are in-game XMB (XrossMediaBar), so long for waiting this, eh? Finally we can do the same thing as in XBOX360. It's been annoying for quite some time that I can't even check the clock when I played my PlayStation 3, is that supposed to make forget how long I've been playing?
However, I got a minor problem with the clock placement. See, when you push the PS button in the controller, the controller number and battery level of the controller is displayed on the top right corner of the screen. Guess where the date and time displayed? You guessed right, top right corner of the screen... Is that dumb or what? Will the programmer please not to put overlapping images on the same part of the screen? I know that the controller number and battery level should fade out after a second or two, but hey, should've put that date and time somewhere else, like in the top left maybe.
Another update is that now you can use your own music to replace the game soundtrack. Personally I don't care about this one, several games do have their own music to create the perfect atmosphere for playing the game. And believe me, you don't want your a cheesy song played during an intense boss fight, right?
Continue on, is the trophy system. Much like achievement system in XBOX360. I don't care that much about this one, after all, what a high number of trophy/gamerscore proves? That you're a total nerd who want to find every achievement in a game? I'll pass that out gladly, hahaha... However, I heard rumour that this trophy thing is going to be a cool stuff in the unreleased PlayStation Home. So I guess I can collect some trophy to be placed in my virtual living room, eh? Too bad that this trophy system is not yet available to the current game library, the game developers need to put new patches soon.
All in all, this update is pretty much make the PS3 look like X360. I can't wait to see the PlayStation Home next, the cool Second-Life-esque (or you can say The Sims) avatar system of PS3. Hopefully it will be released by the end of summer *crossing fingers*.
