Sony is rolling out the newest update for the PS3 tomorrow, firmware version 2.40, which will support in-game XMB (Xross Media Bar) and a gaming accomplishment system like Microsoft’s Xbox Achievements called Trophies. Currently, only a few games will be supporting Trophies, including:

Super Stardust HD
BUZZ! Quiz TV
LittleBigPlanet
MotorStorm Pacific Rift
NBA 09 - PS3
PAIN
PixelJunk Eden
Resistance 2
SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation
Warhawk

Check out this video for more information on the Trophies system and how it will work:

Some other new features are the expansion of the friend list on PlayStation Network to 100 friends and a direct-to-Google search similar to the feature recently added in the PSP’s last update. Check back at this link a little bit later after the v2.40 firmware officially rolls out to see the complete list of updates.

To Sony: enough with the minor stuff no one really cares about, when are you going to support PS2 backwards compatibility on the 40GB PS3?
