After Sony released firmware 2.40, reports of issues began pouring on the official PS3 message board. The most commonly noted issue is systems basically stop working upon booting, instead getting jammed on a screen with only the well-known “wave” background showed.

A number of posters have reported that taking out the PS3 hard disk, formatting it using a PC, afterward re-inserting it makes the PS3 to boot well but with the understandable downside of losing all that was saved on the drive.

Also, the latest firmware set up a trophy system to reward players for game performance. Several games that present Trophy support are Quiz TV, BUZZ!, MotorStorm Pacific Rift, LittleBigPlanet, PAIN, NBA 09 - PS3, PixelJunk Eden, Warhawk and Resistance 2, SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation.

But not in the near future. Probably after 2010. Why? Because PS3 is already too awesome but they didn’t really sell many units compared with Wii. Why such low market rate? The price. Who wants to spend more than $400 for a video game console? Less than 0.1% of population.

The 40 GB version of PS3 has been launched below the $400 level (which is $399) but probably not many people are as interested in it as the 60GB version since some hardware has been pulled out to reduce the cost. In the 40GB version, instead of a hardware to play PS2 and PS1 games, they use a software simulator, which is much cheaper.

Luckily I have gotten the 60GB version for my boyfriend. That’s the most awesome version of Playstation 3. When it has been pulled apart they made an estimation of more than $1000 to make that console itself and it is sold at $599. Sony lost a lot of money.

Anyway, get your free ps3 now!

When this, the inevitable, happens there is no need to special order a larger drive. Conveniently, almost any hard drive, purchased at an electronics store, will do the trick. Simply swap it out and you’re good to go.

Either a typical 2.5 inch internal drive (250GB) or an external USB drive (500GB) will work well and will allow gamers to download even MORE music and MORE videos, than ever before.
