The latest System Software Update is now ready for download for the PLAYSTATION 3. Here are the details of what this firmware accomplishes:
Displaying the XMB™ screen during gameplay
You can now access the XMB™ screen while playing PLAYSTATION®3 format software.
Searching the Internet from the XMB™ screen
You can now perform an Internet search directly from the XMB™ screen.

Other new or revised features in version 2.40 after the jump:
Overall
You can now see the system clock on the XMB™ screen. The date and time that were set under [Settings] > [Date and Time] are displayed.
When using a keyboard, you can now clear the entire text entry field at once.
The icon is now displayed when you press the PS button for an operation that cannot be performed.
Users
You can now turn off the PS3™ system from the XMB™ screen using the [Turn Off System] option.
Settings
You can now set the PS3™ system to turn off automatically after updating the system software.
[Reassign Controllers] and [Controller Vibration Function] have been added as options under [Accessory Settings].
Photo
You can now print images from a playlist.
You can now sort items that are grouped in a folder by month or year using the
[Film Date ] or [Film Date ] options.
Music
You can now use a mini-size control panel while playing music.
You can now play music content encoded in MP3 Surround format.*
* MP3 Surround can only be used when playing music content in Linear PCM format.
Video
You can now use the [Frame Noise Reduction] and [Block Noise Reduction] settings for video content that is saved on the hard disk or storage media.
You can now play upscaled video content that is saved on the hard disk or storage media. When the video content is played, it is upscaled automatically to match the screen size.
Upscaling of Blu-ray Disc (BDAV) video content is now supported.
For DTS playback on DVD-Video and Blu-ray Disc media, DTS-ES and DTS 96/24 for DVD-Video and DTS-ES Matrix for Blu-ray Discs are now supported.*
* "DTS" is a trademark of DTS Inc.
Game
The procedure for quitting PLAYSTATION®3 format software has been changed.
You can now collect trophies in games that support the trophy feature.
Network
[Search] has been added as an option in the browse mode menu of the Internet browser.
Friends
The number of Friends who can be added to a Friends list has been increased from 50 to 100.
The [Information] screen has been redesigned and renamed as [Profile].

2.41 is essentially the same as 2.40, as far as I can tell it just fixed some issues with 2.40 for some people.

MGS4 ftw!


Presence is a curious thing, if you think you need to prove it... you probably never had it in the first place.

Firmware update? Doesn't that mean that the home-brewers will have to think up another way of installing Linux onto the things?
Nervous
I shudder at the prospect of lack of console hacking.

No, because Linux is officially supported on the PS3.

Hmm, I did not know Aircraftkiller had PS3.

So, what do you think of the new battlefield? Surely you played the demo.


Anyway, this firmware update is great. Checking Friend list and sending/receiving messages while in game rocks.
Good thing this came so soon after Battlefield came out, since it uses messages to send invites.

Hasta la vista, baby!
