About Me

edit

Sup DTOID. I am really big into gaming and comics. I am a proud owner of a PS3 and Wii. I just recently sold my XBOX360 because I was having a lot of issues with mine, but thinking about picking one up again in the future when hardware issue get better. I even play my PSP when I am on the road. I am into FPS, sports games and anything that is fun. My first gaming experience was when my dad brought home an Atari 2600 and we use to play tennis on there for hours. From there the passion grew.

Rumortoid: Sony's next firmware will contain in-game XMB and other things
SoopaFly TNT \| 10:43 PM on 05.18.2008	14 comments

Sony..... just say fuck it and give us something !!!!!

I thought this was interesting, but the rumor has it that Sony will have the long anticipated in-game XMB might be in the next firmware. Hopefully this is more truth than rumor. I know that everyone, including myself, has been waiting for this for a long time. I enjoyed this feature on my 360 and hopefully Sony does it right. This "insider" also claims that there will be an "achievement" system that will be available for 70% of the existing games that is something like the 360. Personally, I am more excited about the trophy room in Home, but I guess this will do for the mean time. Also they are doing some stuff to Stardust if anyone plays that. The guy also said that Sony want the firmware to be out before MGS4. Again, I will put the disclaimer out there that this is what the one guy said he heard from a Sony rep. The link is below. If this is old news I apologize. I just hope there is more truth to this than rumor.

you know a guy who knows a guy?

Well one thing at a time.... i really dont believe the acheivment stuff. Highly unlikely, and if it turns up then color me surprised.

hmmmm by next firmware.... then about time.

lets just say i aint holding me breath.

Yeah, we�ve been hearing that in-game XMB will be here this summer, and apparently, the 2.4 update is supposed to be a big one. Seeing as we just had v2.35, we�ve got to be pretty close.

MrSadistic

I'd say maybe in... 2 weeks.

broonor

Isn't the achievement thing "trophies" from PSHome? I remember reading something about that idea before. If so, is the Home open beta coming soon?

rmsk8r05

In game XMB would be perfect, hopefully they'll bring in the custom soundtrack feature as well.

Takeshi

@rmsk8r05

They've already incorporated that in a couple games. Super Stardust is on of them.

MaxVest

From a numbering perspective, I'd expect the "big" firmware update to be 2.5 or 3.0.

Too Much Coffee Man

i hope so..

does this mean cross game invites & global friends list too?

liam2015

It'd makes sense that Sony'd want it out before MGS4, that's a high-profile exclusive, they'd want it running perfectly in every possible way. And yeah, we've been hearing in-game XMB should be here by the summer.

Qraze

whenever it comes out i believe it'll be polished.

king3vbo

It should have been there in the first place, and is the one thing I hate about my PS3.
