PlayStation 3 Firmware 2.4 Bricking Some PS3s
It's not uncommon for firmware updates to go wonky, and apparently Sony's 2.4 PS3 update is no exception. The PlayStation forums are scattered with various reports of bricked PS3s—users report that upon booting their system, the SIXAXIS controller will not sync and the video signal is blank with no sound. Unfortunately, you can never tell how widespread these issues are when the sampling is just one messageboard. And I've updated my 60GB launch unit without issue. Suckers.
Seriously though, any problems to report? (Suckers?) [PlayStation Forums via Maxconsole]

The PSP 4.0 Firmware is out. But for those expecting holographic projection and Nintendo DS destruction mode, don't get too excited: The main features—at least according to the official change log—are the internet search option under the network menu, and playing with the video playback speed using the up and down buttons. In any case, you can judge for yourself seeing the PSP 4.0 firmware in the video walkthrough.

Sony PSP Firmware 4.00 Getting Google Search
PSP firmware 4.00 is giving the portable Google search, with stored memory for the 20 last searches. And video played off a memory stick can be sped up or slowed down. Funny how such a monumental firmware digit stands for such minor upgrades, but we're happy to see improved functionality by software any day, in any device. More »

Next PlayStation Firmware Update Bringing In-Game XMB?
There's some pretty heavy rumorage that Sony's next PS3 firmware update, 2.4, will bring long-awaited in-game XMB. (That just means players will be able to load the menu system without closing their game.) In addition, we're supposed to see trophies (ala Xbox Achievements) supported as well. There's a lot of buzz around the rumor with plenty of solid sources backing it, but we pretty much confirmed in-game XMB when Sony workers taunted fanboys by wearing these uniforms that read "In-shirt XMB" at a recent conference. The new firmware could hit as early as this June. [videogaming247 and Joystiq]
