Ok they are gonna password protect individual sign ins on the xmb - but that still doesnt offer the individual to have user specific media saved onto his or her account???

If i sign into my account on the xmb with my new password the content should be user specific ie all my photos, music and video should be under my account and not other accounts.

Well the XMB will be accessible during game play so it remains to be seen exactly what you can do.

Yeah I use HD 720p/1080i.

I mean the store is slow & clunky to use, badly organised, and a bit too dull to look at. Needs a bit of a facelift.

It still doesnt fix and of the problems on the PS3..
*The in game chat needs to be fixed
*The having to exit game to access mesages
*Needs to notify of messages sent whilst offline.

All that was fixed was stuff that doesnt really matter

Pirarefunk you are able to access the XMB while playing games, so i assume that means you'll be able to check messages while in a game, and possibly keeping a chat session open or loading up mp3's to play.

Otherwhise what would be the point of being able to access the XMB in-game? You jump to the XMB then cant use any of its features...i doubt they would do that..
