Sony Computer Entertainment America's Eric Lempel, Director of PlayStation Network Operations, has confirmed on the official PlayStation blog that version 2.40 of the PS3 firmware will finally bring the much requested in-game access to the XMB (Xross Media Bar), Sony's equivalent of the Xbox 360 dashboard.
The system software update will also introduce "Trophies," which Sony says is "an exciting new feature that we'll be providing more details on soon." Judging by past hints, however, this is likely the Achievement-like reward system for PS3 games. Lempel also noted that there will be other new enhancements. Unfortunately, he does not provide a date for the launch of firmware 2.40 but promises to share more details "shortly."
In the meantime, it appears that firmware version 2.36 is now available. This update simply "improves system stability when playing select PlayStation format software titles."
