Yeah it took them long enough. It's amazing that it's "news" to hear about it from Sony for a change.

Oh well, better late than never I guess.

Unfortunately Home, FFXIII, and GT5 are also "coming soon". Am I asking for too much to just have a solid date announced?

I just hope they get this out soon instead of making us wait all the way through 2.36, 2.365, 2.37, 2.371, 2.372 and so forth.

So how exactly will it work? For example, im playing Metal Gear Online, will i now have two friends lists? Since MGO has a separate friends list to my main PSN friends list?

I read an article a week or two ago that it was scheduled for 6/12, but they found some bugs in the final QA process.

2.4 is not close.

2.36 is close. how far behind 2.36 is 2.4? Who knows.

God I'm tired of waiting for basic functionality that the 360 has had since 2005. What is it asking so much? Seriously.

Well, the thing is that I'm sure there maybe problems getting it to work with every game already out.

I think Sony are going to show off in-game XMB and trophies at E3, possibly with some other feature they haven't announced yet. I'm guessing 2.4 will be released the Tuesday after E3.

Let me correct this,

firmware version 2.36 is coming soon

and

firmware version 2.40 includes trophies and in-game xmb

so nobody still knows when 2.40 will come.

just wait, continues.

It's pretty crazy that it's taken so long, but it's been more like 1.5 years, not 2.5.

*shrug* Do you really know how hard it is? I certainly don't.

Microsoft however have specialised in software and network solutions for a loooooong time now. Also, they have to do it within certain limits without taking away any memory and processing power from games.

Easy: more online-enabled games with better features. VF5, anyone? :lol:

Cows: have fun playing only Sony, EA, Activision and Take 2 games online. XBL players will be enjoying a much wider library.

Well, PSN is free... so... you shouldn't expect it to be as good as XBL. Just be patient!
