The XMB PS3 2.40 firmware update that was pulled by Sony last week amidst technical issues will be re-released by Wednesday, Sony customer support said today.
Please don't brick me, Sony
According to Sony customer support, PS3 firmware version 2.41 should be available by "midweek," complete with fixes for a variety of issues reported by users who installed version 2.40.
Keep in mind that the confirmation came by way of Sony customer support, and as CVG notes, an official statement from Sony on the 2.40 PS3 bricking issue has yet to be issued.
Sony, to date, has remained silent on the technical issues surrounding 2.40 since it was released and subsequently pulled from PSN last week.
The 2.40 update was a substantial update, meant to provide trophy support for PS3 games, a la Xbox 360's Achievements, as well as an in-game XMB interface upgrade.

HOW CAN YOU UPDATE A BRICKED CONSOLE? Maybe they weren't bricking consoles after all. Sounds to me like 2.40 had software issue and was not causing hardware issues. Jack get you facts straight.

Also, I have 2.40 installed in my PS3 and no problems for me. Me and my son have been playing all weekend long and no problems.

According to Sony customer support, PS3 firmware version 2.41 should be available by "midweek"I am not trying to bash Sony or anything but if consoles are bricked, shouldn't they try to get an update out the next day and work their asses off on it? I know no conso9le is perfect but mid-week seems kind of far off for another update, doesn't it? They could always just re-offer the last version and allow everyone to downgrade until they can fix the update effectively.
