Rumour: Firmware 2.40 to release in June

PSU’s running a quote from an unnamed source saying that PS3 Firmware 2.40 – the software update rumoured to hold in-game XMB and user-soundtrack functionality – will release in June.

“The SDK 2.40 will be available to dev. late in June. The actual Firmware 2.40 might see the light of day a lot sooner (my personal guess would be launch aligned or slightly before MGS4),” said the mole.

We’re waiting for comment from SCEE on a release date, but don’t be holding any breath.

    Launching alongside MGS4 sounds like a console-wreckingly good idea.

    I might buy one just to see if all this is going to work.

    SDK available after the firmware? Confusing.

    I just did Pat. Like 10 minutes ago. You’re the only one left.

    2.4! 2.4! 2.4!

    mart: How much did it cost?

  7. Blerk said:

    Somewhere was doing ‘em for £250 today, but I can’t remember where.

  8. Blerk said:

    Oops – too late. They’ve sold out.

  9. mart said:

    Got it for 325 at Zavvi with GT5 Prologue and Uncharted – the latter can be any game off the shelf though.

  10. patlike said:

    Gah. It’s too much.

  11. Psychotext said:

    Yeah, these keep showing up for £250 on specials. I have that gunmetal one on pre-order but that’s not going to happen I don’t think.

    If it doesn’t I’ll wait until they bundle the DS3. Not buying a bundle only to upgrade the controller immediately.

    Same.

    And a price close to 200 quid.

    A price close to £200! You’re in for a long wait there Pat.

    I doubt it’ll be June, more like early July
