Jim Cordeira of Gaming Age says that they've received word that Sony's Firmware 2.40 for the PlayStation 3 is "the real deal" and will be arriving real soon. Features confirmed to them by their source includes in-game communication, a universal friends list, and in-game access to music tracks.
We've also heard word from Videogaming247 (external link) that they too have been notified by an unnamed source that Sony's PlayStation Firmware 2.40 will sport in-game XMB, trophy support, and in-game XMB access to play your own music. Mere coincidence?
We would have settled at that, but then developers from Criterion Games corroborated in-game music features in the PlayStation 3 version of Burnout Paradise. While the Cagney update is under development, and therefore also "coming soon," the additional feature it includes is exclusive to the PS3 version. It says a lot, doesn't it?
Even folks at NeoGAF has reason to believe that Firmware 2.40 will sport more features than was previously speculated. While we aren't going to say that these details are officially confirmed, there's a lot of smoke billowing from outside sources. And where there's smoke...
