PS3 users who have been waiting for that much needed firmware update, have something to rejoice for. The System Software Version 2.40 takes very little time to download and install, probably 5-6 minutes in total. With this new version, one can perform a search directly from the XMB™ screen. The other cool feature is that messages can be exchanged between friends and view trophies during gameplay. You can also use the trophy feature, check your friends’ trophies, and you can add up to 100 friends. At the click of the PS button, GTA IV automatically pauses and you do not have to bother about anything but playing. Another interesting feature is the added clock on the XMB which helps you to keep track of your gaming habits. Looks like a lot of PS3 fans are going to be downloading the latest firmware update.
