PS3 Firmware 2.42 Goes Live
Posted by x3sphere at July 29, 2008, 9:29 pm
Update: According to PlayStation Network director Eric Lempel, firmware 2.42 “improves the playback quality of some PLAYSTATION 3 and PlayStation format software.” Like we said, minor update.
Yes you read that heading correctly — a new PlayStation 3 firmware has hit Network Update! 2.42. No idea on what it changes, fixes, or adds yet. But considering the .1 version increment, we’re strongly inclined to say that this is a minor update.
We’ll (hopefully) update this space with a changelog shortly. Stay tuned. As usual, a direct link to the firmware download is provided below in case you wish to install the update manually.

Rearranging of the XMB clock is 'posed to be in this update.I'll reply on the new things I can find in a bit..later.
Nothing new that I can find,maybe just the compatability with the PSL..
