Wack!!! We need XMB !!!!!!

Home is going to be "in-game XMB"?

i really hope so, cause COD4 has been a big headache lately, freezing up or alway downloading game setting

I think its more IW server issues if you ask me. I mean even XBL is currenlty having crazy wacky issues with COD4

a in game XMB is what the ps3 needs

WOW how exciting!

Also, PS2 games that require a HDD (FFXI and some other game) can now be played on the PS3.

I'm going to vote XMB as the most over used acronym for the past 6 months... maybe more...

The information bar was updated it now scrolls for you.

oh c'mon, do something new for christ's sake it's not worth the download.....

Iplayonlysony. You have been able to do that for over a year already.

what you on about this update does have in game XMB been using it on COD4 all day

PSN ID Chuck-Norris909, The 2.17 update was a waste of my time. I hope the in-game xmb is released sooner than later.

really hope this works for COD4.

WTF happened to less updates with better stuff !!?

i ca nt start chats anymore, and tekken 5 DR online? u can just forget about it, its prolly put more bugs in than wat it took out, lets not forget wat happened wen they added that notice board

what is "in-game XMB" exactly? What does it do? and why does everyone want it?

psn id: gingo.... its always good when they at least add one extra feature but its annoying when its only a technical fix

Anyone notices any differences in team fortress 2 ?

of course the one day I actually get a chance to play online and I have to do a freaking update.

lol i find it funy that everyone wants XMB no one talks about the update itself its always about XMB.

I got exited! I thought it was In-game XMB. :(

I thought they were going to stop releasing small fixes in the form of firmware updates and only release large firmware updates a few months at a time.  Not to say this fix isnt needed, but they should have bundled it with something more significant, such as in game XMB, custom soundtrax, DTS-HD Master Audio decoding? 

if this is for stabilty online for the ps3 couldnt this be another link to home being realsed soon as its all online????? and make next week a posible release date strange how this all happened in a matter of days???

i've donwnload the update.....played call of duty later and it was the same as before......whoa nice update......ujum hehe but still more updates.. more clos we're to home

So that's what the update was about, thanks PSU

So it just makes the online lag less and things like that?

If this can resolve the disconnect error issues with COD4 then will be a HUGE firmware update!  Be prepared for another boat load of "COD4" killed my PS3 threads in the forum too...........

I swear to everyone here that if someone says something about in-game XMB in the next update, I will delete my account and go somewhere else.  I'm really sick of hearing about it and all the sheep following in a flock doesn't help it.

Everyone here could get Beta invites to Resistance 2, Killzone 2, and LittleBigPlanet, and half the comments here would STILL be b!tching about the damn in-game XMB.  I doubt half the people here even know what it is.

Yeah, my COD4 gets stuck "Downloading Game Settings" for literally hours at a time before I can play it on-line.  I hope this fixes that problem finally!

I agree with InfernoReaper stop whining about it. I hope one day we'll get it, but until then i dont care. I probly wont use it much anyway. I like video game music, i mean all these composers spend time making the music in these games. Even in games like GTA, they have to spend a long time getting the licences of the songs. The only thing i would use it for is messeging.

Plus... that update added a new Visualisation for your music. Check it out, its awesome.

@happypeoplearegay, if you mean the 'earth' visualisation that was available before firmware 2.10, Although I think I've noticed new areas in the 'trench' visualisation, I can't be sure. And as for in game music I think most of us mean tracks stored on HDD, I hope WipEout HD has this option but only if the tunes start where the original soundtrack would have started (unlike Super Stardust HD)

Sorry to go off topic,but i gotta say this:

I love my BRAND SPANKIN' NEW PSP.

Thanks for listening.

In-game XMB is probably the most anticipated feature of the ps3,it is exactly what it's called,it allows you to access the GUI of the ps3 known as the Xross Media Bar(XMB),while you are playing some other game,what it would allow you to do is basically put on custom music in the background,send messages to friends,and access the rest of the features of the XMB,while your game is "paused" in the background,like on PCs,where you just press Alt+Esc,and it minimizes your game,to allow you to use some other application,or w/e else you wanna do.Why it's highly anticipated is becuz of ,in my opinion,two reasons:(1)Because it was publicized by Sony b4 ps3's launch.

                                       (2)Because the 360 has been able to do it,since it's launch i.e. right out of the box.

I hope that helped you understand why it is so WILDLY wanted in the ps3 community.
