[...] 2008 was the year PS3 finally went Home, with a public beta of the ambitious virtual community launching on December 11. This was just the thick sugary icing on Sony’s social gaming cake – earlier in the year, we rejoiced at the introduction of the Trophy system, allowing us to show off our achievements to friends, and the in-game XMB access, allowing us to quickly pause a game, bring up the messenger and… show off our friends achievements to friends more quickly. http://threespeech.com/blog/2008/06/firmware-updates-236-and-240/ [...]

I do have to point out that the last FW update was to lay the foundations for 2.40.
“the big one” needs to be uploaded in stages as it is a BIG change to the system.

Sony DO care about the PS3, they want it to be perfect…just hold on…dont defect to the other side….i assure you all, it WILL be worth it.

@15
Custom soundtracks does not require in-game XMB. See Super Stardust, High Velocity Bowling, MLB08, Pain (after today’s update) and many others.
In-game XMB may allow you to play music from the HDD over the top of the game audio, but that is a different thing (and pretty useless IMO).

If I had one request for future firm ware updates, it would be region free bluray playback. Some aren’t locked, but some are. Weird and annoying! I want to spend my money.

Are we supposed to be grateful now?
This is long overdue.
I too have had my PS3 from launch and it honestly sits under the TV gatherinng dust apart from the odd DVD I watch on it.
It has turned out to be a total turkey in my opinion.
NEVER AGAIN!!!
