More details on PS3 Firmware 2.40 have been revealed, which is due for release in around three weeks’ time, which coincidently is around the time of E3 2008. According to CVG, the firmware will feature four types of trophies: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum. The Platinum trophy will only be awarded when you connect all other trophies in the game. As for in-game XMB, we now have a list of features that can be accessed (see below). It is currently unclear whether you are able to play your own tunes in-game in all games or only games that support it.
In-game access is limited to:
- Friend category
- View, send, receive messages
- Manage downloads
- Set the vibration feature of the controller
- Sign in to PlayStation Network
- Register friends
- Manage Bluetooth devices
- Terminate the game
- Music category
- Use the system BGM
- Work the system BGM operation panel
- Settings category
- Assign controllers
- View profiles

Sony has not confirmed or denied the in-game access list above, but CVG confirm that these features were accessible during their run through of Firmware 2.40.
