Not really they added somethings so it wasn't a total waste check here.

some mods probably think nobrainer is actually laying down honest facts and some probably believe he is trolling.

The next person, regardless of status on this site, who confronts an individual member in one of MY NEWS ARTICLES, is getting a ban, cut the childish stuff out, if you don't agree with someone then post something to back up your thoughts, if not I don't care how you feel about that other member, keep it out of my news or you will receive a ban, I hope I am being clear enough.

I would also like to ask, politely of course, that the moderating team refrain from posting in my news articles, unless you have to explain what is being done as a moderator.

So has anyone heard a time frame for which the trophies should be added for other titles? I know the developers are responsible.. but I can't find a developer that has given a date yet.

I take it as I am one of those who updated to 2.40 successfully that I don't need to apply 2.41 ?

Comment by: glassd (Jul 09, 2008 12:44)

If you have 2.40, it takes about 2 minutes to download 2.41

Hi all, im not very clued up on computers, albeit that i play games on it. can some one explain to me what the new firmware for the ps3 will do and what is all this talk about trophies, can some one explain it to me please.

and can anybody tell me if there is a patch/download to make fifa 08 compatable with the dual shock 3.

please can someone help me. tanks

When not playing a game or movie, the XMB "cross media bar" is what is displayed. This gives you access to pictures, music, videos that you have stored on your PS3 or on your media server. It also gives you access to Pairing Blue Tooth devices, Display settings, Audio Settings, Messaging etc... Before 2.40 / 2.41 all of these things and more were only available when not playing games or watching movies. NOW when playing a game, you can press the PS button and bring up the XMB and control these things. Some games will or wont allow you to play music while playing the game.

Trophies, complete most of the challenges in a game and get a bronze trophy, most all = Gold, all = Platinum. Not many games support this now. More to come. These trophies will be visible to any friends that you have on the PS3 network.

Downloaded 2.4 last week and downloaded 2.41 yesterday. All works good. No reports of problems with 2.41. Your safe.

Odd, a lot of people are reporting alot better internet speeds. It might be that sony swapped some ports or changed some settings that don't jive with your router.

there giving you what i call the: Go Around.

1) somebody's not telling you the full story.
2) there just plain out lying to you.

Then again it could just be that game, have you tried other games. did you get the same problem?

Comment by: DXR88 (Jul 10, 2008 15:05)

(@jeffzorn) do you have a router? if you do, can you configure it?

if you can, try doing this. try putting your PS3 in the DMZ.
then try-out the game in witch is be questioned.

I don't like Cords either?_?. Try another game, thats all i can tell you.If you can set up your router again, reset it. I reset mine every two weeks.

Anyways what came first High Ping or botched Mic? a high Ping can botch the VOIP over any game. That Being said. hear are things that could narrow down your current problem

What ISP are you with?
What are your plans with this ISP(Data Rate Ex. 2Mbits UP 4Mbits down)?
Current Wireless standard your using(Ex.802.11B, 802.11G)?

Or try Hooking your PS3 directly to the Internet. Play the game see if you notice any difference.

if your problems still are not fixed, Post your problems Here:http://forums.afterdawn.com/forum_view.cfm/153]
