Firmware version 2.4 rumors

There are a lot of rumors around reporting what will be in the upcoming 2.4 firmware update. The first rumor i came across is that the firmware will be released sometime in june - around the sametime as Metal Gear Solid 4 is released. Multiple sources have stated this so its most likely we will see it in June.

A ps3forums.com members called Doodlepants has reported that version 2.4 will feature a Multiple sign-in meaning it will be possible to have multiple local player sign-in, in multiplayer games that support it.

“What I know is that you will be able to access your information and upload your highscores.”

Another rumor we heard is that the Xross Media Bar will now have a clock and will display date and time in the upper right corner.

Last but not least the new firmware will allow us to access the Xross Media Bar in-game. This is the most wanted feature in an update and i think its going to happen in version 2.4.
