FW 2.40 Not Until July?

Ah, the old Firmware debate. Will it, won't it? Well, the latest rumours point to "no" - it appears that FW 2.40 might not make it in June - some people have seen Firmware 2.40 in action, but they don't think it's quite ready yet.

2.4 - This was stuff that was
supposed to be there at launch. Sony was doing demo's of these features before launch. This stuff was expected and it was expected for a good reason. Every launch PS3 owner knows this. It is better late then never, but it's even better when expected.

you guys sometimes sound like the guys at IGN. All these demands from PSN. You haven't paid one dime for the service yet you expect it to be as good as a pay service? As is, you get a lot for free.

I'm happy with what I have. That doesn't mean Sony shouldn't deliver on what was shown to us before the console released.

Had Sony confirmed it would be out this month?, so this rumour is based on the fact of another rumour that Sony was to release 2.40 next week

I back up your comment by further stating that Sony defonatly confirmed in game communications to be in firmware 2.4 which they stated would arrive in Summer.

I believe it is still spring. ( please correct me on this if I am wrong )

11.2 - Agreed, Sony only stated "Summer"
So before any "we know who types", invade this thread making statements of "Sony lied, delay station", etc. etc., Remember one thing, the official start of summer (summer solstice) is June 21st (King_many_layers, correct, its still spring), so if it does come out on the 10th its early, and if it comes out any time after the 21st or early July as this article suggests, then its only as Sony stated "Summer".

All dates so far are rumour, no date has actually been given.

11.3 - hmmm, disagree bandits
on the loose again. I get 2 disagrees for stating factually correct information. Others also here get the disagree bandit treatment, for doing likewise.

Those who disagreed, educate yourselves.

1. Summer officially and scientifically begins at the solstice on 21st/22nd June (longest day of the year) and ends at the autumnal equinox on 21st/22nd September. Look it up

2. Sony's only announcement regarding 2.40 has been to state "Summer 2008"

3. Dates of 10th, 12th etc for the 2.40 update are purely rumour, because it ties in with MGS4 release, but no official announcement by Sony has been made, other than "Summer"

If your going to disagree, post a reply back with why you disagree.

It's like I said yesterday, there are some real idiots on this site.

Don't believe in rumours, wait for the official announcements

11.4 - Yeah, exactly
And that's that. They didn't say June or July or any specific day or month. Just summer.

Its true it did come from us.
However if you check out our article, it says our insider told us the date is subject to change.

Either myself, or whoelse will contact our insiders and figure out what is going on.

If this turns out to be true it'll annoy some people even though as some people have said above me, Sony never confirmed a date themselves.

I think people should really stop approving "rumor" stories on N4G from now on. It just gets peoples hopes up for no reason and when it doesn't come to fruition people get real pissed.

Why would we want a broke firmware update if it is not ready? Sony will release it soon. Just like HOME!

We need to keep on them though...because of us...sony is getting on the ball and doing what we want.

"IT WILL BE OUT WHEN ITS READY"

You have two options. 1) Wait until its out, or 2) go play a different console. If you would prefere ingame music/achievments/ingame communication over Metal Gear, by all means, knock yourselves out :) I myself am more worried about the end of a legend :|

Jeff Goldblum to play Solid Snake ;)

Sony only suggested it would be out over the "summer", which technically ends later in September. No need to get your panties in a knot, people...
