Of course it was release during my dry spell, but apparently several users experienced serious issues when they applied the 2.40 update.  I know I would be seriously pissed if my PS3 became unusable unless I sent it back to Sony or reformatted my HDD.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly before I left for work this morning I read that the 2.41 update was available.  Of course if I could get my PSP and PS3 to remote play nicely, I could have already initiated a download, but I digress.<\/p>\n<p>I am installing 2.41 as I write this, so I have not checked out all the wonderful new features such as in-game XMB access, custom soundtracks, and trophies.  Since I cannot get my iTunes AAC files to work on my PS3, I doubt I will worry that much about custom soundtracks.  I have no idea which games will have trophies (much less how they will work), but I have read in multiple places, include a post from <a href=\"\/cgblog\/2008\/07\/07\/monday-weekend-gaming-recap\/#comments\">wco81<\/a>, that Super Stardust HD will be patched very quickly to include trophies.<\/p>\n<p>[Quick Edit #1:  2.41 update just completed its install, and I am now downloading the 4.0 patch to Super Stardust HD.
