PS3 owners will obviously never get a free game out of anything. Sony DOES hate its customers.

Didn't this *functional* update take two years?

Point Bond!

You know, I do love how this thread is nearly exclusive to flunkie, uber, and myself until something "bad" happens then the GT floodgates open and it's open season all over us. You guys rule.

Re: Playstation 3 Firmware 2.40 Walkthrough Video Part 1: The XMB
 

Lol? My update/PS3/everything is fine. No problems here.

Exactly. Douches.

Re: Playstation 3 Firmware 2.40 Walkthrough Video Part 1: The XMB
 

I was here being annoying since the beginning. :)

Re: Playstation 3 Firmware 2.40 Walkthrough Video Part 1: The XMB
 

Yeah, bastards.

Re: Playstation 3 Firmware 2.40 Walkthrough Video Part 1: The XMB
 

So, about this XMB... are you now able to send messages across games, etc?

Re: Playstation 3 Firmware 2.40 Walkthrough Video Part 1: The XMB
 

Yessir, it's basically the Xbox Guide but a bit different. Instead you get the whole main menu (XMB :P) for the PS3 and you do all that stuff, custom soundtracks, in-game messaging, friends list, trophy list, trophy comparisons with friends. The only really notable things it's missing are cross game invites and in-game private chats.

But really, it makes paying for XBL a lot harder to do when you know you can have all of it for free.

Re: Playstation 3 Firmware 2.40 Walkthrough Video Part 1: The XMB
 

Why aren't there cross-game invites? Does it not show what games your friends are playing?

I was watching the video flunkie posted and it looks like the developers did a good job of utilizing all the space they have. That's an issue I have with the 360 dashboard. It extremely under utilizes the space, and I really don't like the advertisements.

Re: Playstation 3 Firmware 2.40 Walkthrough Video Part 1: The XMB
 

I'm not too sure why there aren't cross game invites, but you can see what your friends are playing. They did see that they are working on it though.

It's really not too bad seeing as all you have to do message a friend saying, "want to play MGO?" and they can respond either way. And if they want to play then joining in your match is completely easy.

Is everybody done being douchebags to one another? Too much negativity about a damn firmware update up in this bitch.

Re: Playstation 3 Firmware 2.40 Walkthrough Video Part 1: The XMB
 

We'd like to think so.
