In-Game XMB Overlay Coming In The Next Update

It seems that Sony is always listening to us, and that their "we are listening to the consumers and we care for them" is a true sentence indeed, spoken by Ericl Lempel. Today, Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. confirmed that an In-Game XMB Overlay is coming in the Next Major Update (you all know what I'm getting at). Yes everyone, you heard it at PSU first. In-Game XMB Overlay will be in the next update, but we don't know to what extent.

In a rather exhausting and relieving way, Ericl Lempel said, "Also, I noticed a lot of your comments were directly related to accessing XMB features in-game. We understand this is something you want and we are working on it. For the sake of keeping all the comments below on topic, please understand that we hear this request and are working toward a solution. When I have some more info to share on this, know that I will do so here on this blog."

The response came shortly after a user named "DarkKing" Spammed about 255 topics all consisting of a repetition of the following from top to bottom:

"WE WANT IN-GAME XMB AND CUSTOM SOUNDTRACKS SONY YOU SAID YOU CARED
WE WANT IN-GAME XMB AND CUSTOM SOUNDTRACKS SONY YOU SAID YOU CARED
WE WANT IN-GAME XMB AND CUSTOM SOUNDTRACKS SONY YOU SAID YOU CARED" (These have since been removed).

Looks like Sony promised, and they have half-way delivered with Wallpapers. Coming next major update, PlayStation 3 owners will glee with happiness everyday when they can finally access their Foo Fighters / Children of Bodom albums in Motorstorm. I sure as heck know, I will.

yea yea....everybody knows...everybody read it on PSU....well, all i need to do now is wait...XP

Remember that the quote says "next major update" . Now what qualifies as a major update? I don't think 1.90 was a major update. So the next update may not have the XMB function if it isn't a major update.nimuk

What is XMB?nickyb628

LOL, ucant possiblyown a ps3... LOL

XMB= Xcross Media Bar your main title page when you turn on the ps3.

The overlay lets you access your friends messages, music, and other stuff without quiting the game like we have to do now. With this youll have acess to that IN game

So if I understand correctly, it'll be like bringing up the dashboard in game on the 360, correct?
