News \ Sony Confirms In-Game XMB

Paul Purdy from Sony has dropped some pretty big news, announcing that in-game Xross Media Bar (XMB) access is confirmed for 2008. When pressed for a date or timeframe with more solidarity, the Sony rep countered with a "no further comments" and left us praying that the long-awaited feature will release sooner rather than later.


Please please make it happen Sony!

K-Man said: Well sometimes whenever we play a game, we sometimes recieve messages from friends but we have to access the XMB to read the message. This forces us to quit the game in order to go back to the XMB which can be frustrating.



Oh. Well then, I see your point about this. lol

i rekon this feature is on the "drawing board" because the ps3 will match the 360 cuz it has its menu thing in game too

*edit*

will this be in an update so older games can use this too or is it just for the newer games
