Sony releases revamped firmware, aiming for error-free update of award system, easily accessible media bar.
PlayStation 3 owners may be feeling a certain sense of deja vu today. That's because, as it did last week, this morning Sony announced the release of new firmware, which upgrades the console with two long-desired features. The first is in-game access to the XrossMediaBar (XMB), which will allow users to access limited PS3 features without quitting a game and allow direct access to other features without returning to the main PlayStation menu. The second is the PS3's long-in-development trophy system, which will award players for in-game feats much like the Xbox 360's achievement system.
