[PS3 News] In Game XMB in 2.4 (((pops Champagne)))

[QUOTE="Dreams-Visions"][QUOTE="killzowned24"][QUOTE="skirlnik"]

The timing is about right, but I'll believe it when I see it. Too many supposed updates have fizzled to let me get too hyped about this.

MGS4 will be a must buy.

MGS4 has 90 minute cutscenes!

lulz

Better late than never, I suppose.dewmandew7

If half those features are true, this could slaughter what xbox live is. If i can join a game, and pop up the XMB, invite my friends and send msg's all right there....i think this could be huge if advertised right...serious.demonik_360

Those are the features that the 360 has had built in that separated it from the PS3. The only thing left for Sony to really do IMO is put a wireless headset in each box. That'll create a quasi-LIVE community. Or the beginnings of one.

The quality of the community (and lack thereof in terms of socializing, microphone usage) on PSN is atrocious. Partially because of these reasons.

Now your friends list will really mean something. I'm very excited.

man.. you have no idea how many trance, prog house, techno, and other mixes i have just waiting to play while racing in GT5P..

btw, i'm thinking about making custom dialogues for MGS4 once this comes out..

current firmware 2.35:

"War has changed..." - David Hayter

after 2.40:

"War has changed..." - Me

:D

if they had crossgame chat and private chat modes....that would be the most amazing thing ever.

That's awesome news...

Custom soundtracks and XMB are sooo needed.

[QUOTE=""]We've finally received word that the long awaited, and much rumored, PlayStation 3 Firmware Update 2.40 is indeed the real deal and is said to be coming relatively soon. Many of the most requested features, such as a universal friends list and in-game messaging will be included, in addition to a few rather nice surprises (*cough*soundtracks*cough*). We definitely can't divulge all of the details, but trust us, it's coming. We aren't yet 100% sure of the actual release date, but all signs point to sometime in June. We're guesing that Sony will probably detail 2.40 in the coming weeks. Dreams-Visions

Rumored in the 2.40 update

- In-game messaging
- Official trophy support
- In-game soundtracks
- In-game video messaging
- Universal record/upload to YouTube of games

Please, Lord. Let it be true.

does the bolded part mean like recording for all games? that is awesome!

I doubt Sony would allocate the memory necessary to have a layer sitting over every game. Not with such limited memory. But I can only speculate.

YES!!!!!

Still can't download and play at the same time? Lame. :(DisPimpin

What are you talking about? PS3 could always d/l and play at the same time.. do you even have one?

hah i think the gif is getting more praise than the ingame XMB feature :Psuitmypants

while ur playing a game ONLINE, if not then it DL's fine, if it didnt stop u would lag to high heaven and ruin it for everybody else.

I see I'm gonna have to do some "friend" list cleaning....

I can just see it now "*&^* dude I'm playing this game, leave me alone!"

Finally! though i doubt I will use it for a while. Any ordinary music would not do MGS4 justice.
