PS3: In Game XMB Confirmed For 2008

Jan 9, 2008

360 fans can wallow in the glory of superior in-game menus for the time being, but before the year is out the dream of in-game XMB access on PS3 will become a reality. Finally.

After the pain of the expected in-game XMB not appearing in firmware 2.0, a Sony spokesperson finally did us all a favour by confirming that the much-requested feature will be with us in 2008, but was reluctant to reveal a more specific date.

In-game XMB access would right so many of PS3's wrongs - friend list access, sending and receiving messages, starting music playback and more WITHOUT having to quit your game. Basically, all the things 360 could do from the start.

That'll do just nicely, but that's not all we want out of future firmware updates.


great news for ps3 owners everywhere.

im not one....yet <_<

Ask me to shoot. I'll shoot.
Ask me to pass. I'll pass.
Ask me to steal, block out, sacrifice, lead, dominate.
ANYTHING.

But it's not what you ask of me.
It's what I ask of myself”

So there getting the LIVE treatment.

Good for them, even though they have HOME coming.

I doubt it will ever be as good as LIVE.

Downloading demo's, while charging my MP3, While listening to my MP3 on it, and doing 7 things at once, is very very ftw.

Well, in some ways it's already better.
-Everyone has the same status: Full Access. For Free.
-Up to 64 player online with dedicated servers for a lag free experience

And my most notable thing that looks great for the future if in game XMB arrives.

Your right about the Free part lol.

But if 360 brought out a game that has 64 player onine, they could do it.

And I always have a lag free experience, since I'm connected to my modem.
