Following problems with v2.40 firmware update which Sony had released last week and had to pull after being available for an hour, Sony has today released v2.41.

PS3
Hi, everyone. As many of you know, we released PS3 firmware update v2.40 last week, but had to take it offline temporarily because, for a limited number of users, the XMB wouldn’t display after the update was installed. We’ve been able to fix the problem, and I’m happy to report that firmware update v2.41 will be released shortly.

From what I gather this update is the same as v2.40 only with the part that caused some PS3s to lock up removed. Still, I think if I had a PS3 I'd wait a day or so in case this update has some unforeseen side-effects.

Anyone here downloaded this update?
