I downloaded the PS3 2.4 Firmware update at about 12:30am today. I have not had any problems running software or activating the XMB in game. GS reports that Sony has acknowledged reports of PS3s locking up with the new 2.4 update, but my system luckily seems to be working normally.

The XMB is a nice addition. I do hope that Konami releases a patch for MGS4 for trophies. I would love to have recognition for taking a photo of every ghost in the game, or obtaining the Big Boss Emblem to earn a gold trophy.

Uncharted: Drakes Fortune had offline in game medals, which is a great addition that all developers could have considered for pre Trophy achievement games. Now with Uncharted getting a trophy patch, I would assume the Konami would hook MGS fans up with a trophy patch.

I like gathering the MGS4 emblems, but it is hard to track my progress. Please Konami, give us trophies for MGS4. or Give us a follow up to MGS4 like Integral, Substance, and Subsistence were for MGS1,2,3 respectively that includes trophies, among many other additions to MGS4. But that's another blog.
