In-game XMB coming![custom soundtracks,ingame xmb,etc]

[quote name='dallow']Oh I know myke. :)

I said that to TMK, as 2.36 IS coming out in a few days.[/QUOTE]I know, I already heard the news at the PS3 Forums this morning. The most I made, was just a copy/paste there (it mostly reflected a few replies):

*Not trying to be mean with the comment below quoted, this was only a copy/paste from another forum, which is kind of the truth with my discussion with an industry insider, who pretty much agreed I was spot on*

That reminds me, I seriously think a reason In-Game XMB took a while because PS3 fans kept screaming In-Game XMB. They didn't tell Sony specifically they just wanted in-game messaging, they want the entire XMB. If people said they wanted at least In-game messaging for now, I think we may have gotten it much sooner (as an option when pressing the PS butto, because just having that wouldn't use up anywhere near as much memory as the entire XMB, and that's why we don't have it since the XMB itself uses more memory than what is reserved). But no, people scream for the entire XMB, so Sony has to do a lot more work, which takes time.

We can play the blame game, but what it comes down to is not that Joe Gamer complained there was no in game XMB, but that Sony has still not delivered on their promises. It is not our fault Sony has no fuckin idea what they are doing. They can keep saying "it's coming soon, don't worry" but people are just going to get annoyed and pissed off and roll their eyes the next time Sony says anything.

Didn't someone at Sony say there was going to be a "big surprise" in June? I think I remember reading that somewhere.

We’re also happy to officially report that the 2.40 system software update for PS3 will include “XMB” access in-game. The update will also include “trophies,” an exciting new feature that we’ll be providing more details on soon, as well as some other new enhancements. We’ve talked about some of this on the blog previously and know that many of you can’t wait to get your hands on these features. You can expect us to share all of the official details shortly.
