I downloaded the FW update at around 11pm PST yesterday. So far I have enjoyed the added functionality and the natural feeling that I get from using the in-game XMB. It all seem like it was meant to be. I'm looking forward to future updates that have been hinted on the Playstation Blog by both Jeff and Eric (the latter being the Director of the PSN)--cross game chat, API for online PC viewing of friends trophy collection.

However, I have heard some speculation that FW 2.40 may be causing so serious problems for all PS3 models. I have a 60GB SKU myself and I can happily report that I have not had an issue. It seems that Sony pulled the update in response to several comments made on the Official Playstation.com Forum. I don't know the extent of this issue but I do know that the problems that have been reported have not be experienced by myself in anyway. Let me know if any of you have had an issue, I can advise ways to fix them.

BTW, I have 10 Trophies on Super Star Dust HD already. I'm going to go get more right after submitting this post. Good luck everyone.

I love it too. I'm playing through MGS3 on the PS2 so I haven't been using it that much, but I'm glad I have it!

60 gig here also and no problems!

You already have trophies? LUCKY!

If I could get a PSN card, I'd maybe get SSHD.

Yeah, I had the game already. It's a lot of fun and attempting to get the trophies, attempting over and over, has been a lot of fun. But I've finally gotten all the ones you can get without the expansion.

Alright that's good. I've wanted it for a while and this is just and extra incentive.

Exactly, when they first released rumble the game was brought back into a new light for me. Then they added trophies and I can say it's one of my favorite games for my PS3.

I actually didn't get to download the update before they pulled it off

But it's nice to hear a few positive things about it.

Just out of curiousity, with your 10 trophies, how close are you to leveling? I was just curious about how many it takes of each type in general to get get past the first few levels. And...are all trophies of a type the same value, meaning all bronze?

I have not had any issues with my Ps3 since the update. I have a launch 60gb ps3.

@FFF4NAT1C: I leveled before I got my 10th Trophy. I couldn't really say when I did it exactly because of my persistence to get them all. To answer your other question, their are several trophies within each game of different value (bronze, silver, gold). Super Star Dust HD doesn't have a Platinum trophy sadly. From what I understand each developer is allotted so many points to put into their game (whether it be a large game like Uncharted or a smaller game like SSHD--smaller games get less points). These points can then be given out in any fashion that the developer chooses. They can make as many trophies as they want and just attach very little value to them. Also, you will need more and more points from trophies in games as you go up in levels. It will take more to go from 2 to 3 than it took to go from 1 to 2.

Same thing with rumble to me.
I played a bunch of old games when I got it!
