The update for the XMB

I'm a bit disappointed..
We should be able to connect through mics in game.. also with the browser.
I hope that's change asap..
i'm not sure if we can access photos either, or play our own music over the games'

I know it's not out yet, and i shouldn't be quick to judge.
even though the text messenging is great..
There should be an easier way to communicate like through a mic or something

Why in the world would you want to access your photos while playing a game, let alone use the web? Be realistic. "Omg, Wait, let me find cheat codes for this game."

My thoughts exactly.

There are videos up on IGN about the in game XMB and it answeres all youre questions you just asked here.

No you wont be able to view youre pictures while playing youre game. yes you can listen to music in any game that you want with youre music.

yes you can acess youre FL and chat with friends while playing youre game.

Go look it up

"and ingame music is only for some games, its up to the developers "

Are you sure that's what it means? I think it's up to developers wheater or not they want ot feature custom soundtracks, like back on GTA: SA for XBox. This would help so you can still hear in-game sounds and what-not, but with your own music, rather than having your music go over all sounds.

And that would be real nice if we could go to browser while in-game. We kinda see this happen in MGO, when they bring you to thier store. And for now, I'm just happy I will be able to message my friends in-game instead of exiting it. Besides, I'm usually in the smae game my friends play with anyway.

I'm curious about what this means too. In the demo, they were playing PixelJunk Monsters. They turned down the in-game BGM and started their own music. You could still hear the sound effects. It seems like you should be able to do this in any game where the BGM can be muted. However, at the same time he said that only some games will support it.

It seems to me that you would be able to play your own music regardless of what is going on in-game, though I'm not sure that is the case.

Or maybe they want to watch porn, and quickly make it look like they've been playing the game with no sound if someone trys to catch them. :P

if you read the playstation blog he will state that was a mistake and they took it out of the video. It is up to the developer to patch the game because MS has a patent out for in-game music.

Let the update roll out first, before you criticize it.

You can't judge something until you have a first hand experience. The videos of course demonstrated that the 2.4FW update is just a slapped together pile of rubberbands....but it may or may not be more than that. Lets wait and see. :P

i g

well, to be honest. I rather have the ability to view pictures in game than be able to change the frequency of my voice.

It's pretty silly to have that ability and not have voice-voice through friend's list while in-game XMB..

It seems I'm asking for much, but the ps3 is getting to that point in time where it hasn't just come out :T
I'm just saying it's getting to a point on how long exactly "just wait" means.
