We've finally received word that the long awaited, and much rumored, PlayStation 3 Firmware Update 2.40 is indeed the real deal and is said to be coming relatively soon. Many of the most requested features, such as a universal friends list and in-game messaging will be included, in addition to a few rather nice surprises (*cough*soundtracks*cough*). We definitely can't divulge all of the details, but trust us, it's coming.

We aren't yet 100% sure of the actual release date, but all signs point to sometime in June. We're guesing that Sony will probably detail 2.40 in the coming weeks.

Finally

While this is good news, these are all features that should have been included with the launch of PSN

Old news. I've known that in-game XMB was coming with 2.40 for a while now. But thanks I didn't know that it would be soon around June though. I heard only communication was coming I didn't know soundtracks would be included too.

This is an official "rumor" list of the details.

Take from it what you may.

Yeah, saw that a bit back. However, the site isn't high profile enough for me to believe it. :P Getting the trophies/points in there already would be AWESOME! Just in time for MGS4, too. :)

Am I supposed to believe this from a site I've never heard of? Oh well, I'll be optimistic.

DAMN it. I'm sorry but I misunderstood the guy at the TUS(The Unofficial Site: MGS).

He said:

"Source (website says FW is release on 5/30)"
by FW he meant "Famitsu Weekly" which indeed gets released tomorrow. We usually reffer to firmware as "FW" so I thought he meant firmware.

Anyway, check this out: http://www.metalgearsolid.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=28111

MGS4 DVD coming out tomorrow.
