Sony Computer Entertainment were forced to pull their long-awaited 2.40 update for the last week after it emerged the trophy/in-game XMB adding patch was causing system crashes.

We today hear that a 2.41 patch is being crafted that will fix the crashing problem and usher in all the long-awaited improvements.

Chit-chat also points to a release this week, although are refusing to confirm the existence of the patch, or indeed when it'll be released.

Technical support at Sony have apparently been telling callers that the update is in-bound, but nothing official has been offered up to the irate masses just yet. We'll keep our noses to the ground.
