I keep hearing talk about all these new features, and I just wanna know, is it just a rumor, or have these features been confirmed? I would really like to know.

Sony haven't actually come out and said "in-game XMB is coming! BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!" But yeah, the rumour points to a June 10th release date. The source says that Konami persuaded Sony to get it released in time for MGS4.

Yes, but this time we have a video of a developer using it:

I would literally bet my life that it arrives in time for MGS4.

Why would a developer be recording it with a cell phone camera (judging from the quality) and playing it on a crap tv like that? Looks kinda fake to me to be honest.

*shrugs* A lot of rumours point to a June release, so I remain optimistic.

@ above- XMB stands for Cross Media Bar. It's basically the PS3 equivalent of the 360's dashboard.

XMB stands for "Cross Media Bar" I guess the "X" makes it sound cooler or something, basically the PS3's dashboard.

Just check my profile, it's in there :D

The XMB is a really cool design, didn't Sony win an award for it? Say what you want about Sony, but their stuff is pretty stylish.

Hasnt been confirmed yet, so if it's false it will be an epic fail.

But, it's looking to shape up to be true.

In Game XMB has been confirmed by Sony. They just havn't gave an official date. Though I do think they said summer. And they dropped hints at GDC 08 with their T-shirts.

If gamespot posts it, and says probably not bogus, then chances are it's real and will be confirmed in a few days or something.

The XMB won awards for design, so it probably is something special :|
