PSN looking into in-game XMB access for future update |
Ó
Here's one update to the PlayStation 3's functionality we could definitely look forward to aside from the release of Home (particularly those who got in on its petition): in-game access to the XMB. According to Eric Lempel, PlayStation Network's director of operations, we might be seeing this function in the future:
We are looking at a number of enhancements related to accessing some of the XMB features during gameplay, including messaging your friends. [...] We've heard loud and clear from consumers that in-game XMB access is one of the most requested PS3 enhancements
While he didn't give an exact date (or even a vague one) on when we can expect the update, at least they know that a lot of PS3 owners out there want it to happen. Let's save the fireworks for another day though as it might still be some time before we see this come to effect.

Nice...
now can someone tell me why there is no RSS function in the PS3 ? (If it's there, WHERE !)
I guess you could just use the browser and an online RSS reader.
About time. Now let's get some in-game music going.
the in game messaging and I will be happy...
About the guy who said about the rss feed it will be good if they do a good one.. not like the psp one... one with news and all... just like a rss feeder and when we see the news to go to the webpage like the psp do now... that will be cool but first the in game message and after that do whatever you want lol..
Hell yes. To all the people who don't care about it: shut up.
lol, anyway, I just got tired of having to leave a game just to respond to a message or something.
Understand why people make the in game XMB like the holy grail for the PS3. I can find more things we need for the PS3 than this. Sony take as long as you can with that feature. We need in game messaging and Voice chat more.
In game XMB is messaging and voice chat.
Sony said the Information Board will get RSS soon
In game XMB is listening to your music in game idiot.
The other two isn't the same thing.
In-game XMB is when you can see and control your XMB while in a game (Hence In-Game XMB) which includes messages, music, pictures, internet, and etc.
It covers everything. Looks like you, Stealth!, are the idiot.
i don't care about in-game mp3 access or any of that, but in-game messaging to friends would be good. so you can invite them to play a different game, or tell them to change servers on warhawk.
like the guy before me but really what everyone wants is for message and music in game... about music in game I never use it in the 360... just in a casual game... just like the bowling in the ps3 and have that... but in game message is a must
They atleast acknowledge that fans are looking for it and they are working on it (ingame XMB access) and it's a huge step forward towards custom soundtracks!
This rawks.
Have you used custom music options on the 360? Cuz I love it. It's the ONE thing I want from the PS3 that the 360 had over it. I played through Gears with my cousin with Lamb of God (awesome metal band) playing all throught out. I loved it.
With this news I hope custom music options aren't far behind.
use custom music in gears of war? I can't play a shooter with it... that quit me the feel that I'm in the game but oh well... maybe I'm just one of the few...
and custom sound tracks
Custom soundtracks would be a nice addition for Motorstorm, seeing as it only has a select library of music.
Not that it's bad music, but it gets boring once you reach Level4 in the offline mode.
Some guy from Sony said this exact same thing about 8 months ago...
In general is only good for racing games and sports games really....and possibly RTS's...
Otherwise, for dramatic effect, you are best off listening to what the devs gave ya....unless it is utter crap...
in game voice-chat activation and I'd be ok. It's kind of silly with warhawk.
Is right under In-game Messaging in my list. Although I want both I think In-game messaging (including chats) would be nicer.
I actually want there to be both but If I'd have to choose one it'd be In-game messaging +]
Thats what I want.
Beat em' up games, multiplayer modes (like Warhawk, MGO etc.).
You (yes, you) need to go out, and watch some movies. I don't want you to waste dollars to see crappy movies, that’s why I made this. ‘I am (a) legend’ is a new movie which can entertain you! (just for your reference) a book was written long time ago, then this movie version was made nowadays (starring Will Smith).
* Movie version (55 pts): It's just above average; but if you have to go to the movies for some reasons, think no further; all the other movies in theaters are crappy. Moreover, there’re hundreds of movies which got good review scores by critics but so many are so boring, terrible and even laughable (I mean this movie got bad reviews but the reviews from critics mean nothing).
This movie is like -> first half (great sci-fi apocalyptic thriller) + second half (28 days later, just another zombie-fest).
Anyway, I thought the CG effects were good (all those deer, lions and zombies are 100% computer-generated); but others said that the CG was terrible... I didn’t wear my glasses during the runtime... so if you want to enjoy this movie, then don’t bring your lens (glasses)... (I bet all of you have bad eyesight, playing games all the time...).
* Book version (30 pts): Actually, the book (or the mor+nic author) tries to teach us how humans can scientifically and logically become zombies (or vampires)... LOL LMAO ROFL. I’m not kidding, read the book by yourself. The book spends most of its pages to describe (boringly) how humans transformed into some sort of creatures which are prone to blood!!! (OMG) I think maybe the author could just use simple words like ‘vampires’ or ‘zombies’... Then the main protagonist finally finds a cure for this disease (the author talks about so many scientific formulas as if his book is real... or based on an actual event...).
The book and movie versions are quite similar (except a few certain things) then the endings are totally different! (didn’t see that coming...) I gave 30 pts for the book version because the ending sucks. In book, Neville (the protagonist) was trapped and eventually killed!!! (OMG) The vampire-like creatures (former humans) tell Neville (just before Neville’s execution) that he (Neville) is a legend among themselves (vampires) because Neville is feared by vampires (Neville goes out during day and kills a lot of vampires during the book. Neville is okay with garlic and sunlight, too!) I gave 55 pts for the movie version because movie’s ending is as bad as the book’s ending... or even worse.. I won’t spoil your fun, so go out and watch the movie! (^^)
In the hell are you talking about...
I didnt even both to read past the first sentence.
Sounds like a misplaced movie review.
...considering it's already in dev units...Just take away whatever extra functionality that they have when you give it to us, and there ya go, millions are happy.
