New PS3 Firmware Arrives, Replaces Pulled Update

24
After releasing and subsequently pulling last week's v2.40 PlayStation 3 firmware, Sony Computer Entertainment has issued a revised version of the update.

Currently available for download using the system's update option, the new release, v2.41, is said to resolve an issue that rendered some consoles inoperable after installing the last update.

Apart from the fixes, the update sports no new functionality over the v2.40 update, which upped the online friends list limit to 100 and featured the long-awaited addition of an in-game XMB--allowing cross-game text messaging and custom soundtrack capabilities--along with the Xbox 360 achievement-esque Trophies.
