Aren't rumors exciting? They serve to raise your expectations, then dash them when you discover it was all a ruse some chump thought up in a fit of boredom. Before you run around claiming this story circulating the web as fact, let us tell you it's a complete rumor at this point and should only be recognized by a subtle nod if the rumor becomes truth. The rumor? In-game XMB is done and Home is very, very near completion.

In addition to that, it's being said that the in-game XMB will be used for all future titles and will be patched into old games via an update. We'll find out after GDC and the next PS3 firmware update, we guess. Until then, it's anyone's guess.

I like these kind of rumors Smile
I've heard the rumor that this Thursday we will have a firmware update and it will supposedly have a beta of a much awaited game as well as some other goodies. Smile I hope it's true!
Oh dear lord...where did you hear that rumor from Mana? Are you and Jesus having one-on-one talks again? Toungue
I've been sworn to secrecy. Ok, I just forgot where but it was on one of the PS3 sites that I frequent now. It was actually stated by many different sources as well.

Yes, many speculate that Home beta and In-Game XMB will be delivered at GDC.

what IS In-Game XMB? Is it similar to like on a 360 when you push the center button and the mini dashboard comes up?

According to Sony on Jan 8th 2008, Spring 2008 will see in-game XMB available on the Playstation 3, a feature similar to Xbox 360's in-game guide feature, a much wanted feature that consumers have demanded since launch. Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) and many other sources state that in-game XMB is the most requested feature for the PS3 in the last year (2007).
