Firmware v2.40 status

Posted: 02 Jul 2008 06:34 PM CDT

As has been reported on many gaming blogs and websites, we have temporarily taken Firmware v2.40 offline. We've received a limited number of calls from consumers experiencing an issue with installing the system software update on their PS3. While our consumer services department has seen a low volume of calls on this topic, we are committed to providing the PS3 community with XMB access features delivered in the v2.40 update. We are working diligently to isolate the problem for those few consumers and to identify a solution before we put the firmware back up.

We'll provide further information as necessary here on the Blog.

PSN to receive maintenance tomorrow

Tomorrow, June 24, the PlayStation Network will see some downtime in order for maintenance to be done. The downtime will occur from 10 AM to 4 PM CST (4 PM to 10 PM GMT). During this period, you will not be able to access the store or play any titles online.

With Firmware 2.4 just around the bend, this could potentially have something to do with that update. We'll see in due time
