GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con

While Sony has confirmed the inclusion of an in-game XMB (cross media bar), the rest of the 2.40 update was a bit cloudy.

But now, CVG claims to have the final list of features that make up the much-anticipated upgrade. In addition to the XMB, version 2.40 will feature a trophy system that will let compatible games track your progress, similar to the Xbox 360 Achievements. Instead of a score, you earn different level trophies as you progress.

According to the site, you'll be able to access the following features via the XMB during gameplay. But be warned: some games may not support this feature.
