Sony has pulled firmware update v2.40 following problems with the highly anticipated update that introduces XMB in-game access and trophies.
According to SCEA’s PlayStation blog, firmware v2.40 has been taken offline “temporarily.” The update was pulled following reports of PS3’s locking up after downloading v2.40.
Director of Corporate Communications and Social Media Patrick Seybold noted that “We’ve received a limited number of calls from consumers experiencing an issue with installing the system software update on their PS3.”
Seybold goes on to say that only a low volume of calls about the firmware problem has been encountered but that Sony is “committed to providing the PS3 community with XMB access features delivered in the v2.40 update.”
Expect an update on this problem soon because apparently Sony is “working diligently to isolate the problem for those few consumers and to identify a solution before we put the firmware back up.” Keep checking back on the blog for updates.
