In-Game XMB and Trophies coming before MGS4

Mnmfan | May 30, 2008 | News | Playstation 3

The highly anticipated ingame XMB and Trophies may be arriving sooner then we thought. Possibly within the next 2 weeks.
According to PSU the new firmware may be hitting our systems before MGS4 gets released on June 12th.

According to Gaming-Age.com, PS3 users can expect such features as universal friends lists and in-game messaging. Also it's been confirmed that Sony already has a title with trophy support on the way. Sony's Official PlayStation website for upcoming Pixeljunk title, PixelJunk™ Eden, has been listed to support the new trophy system.

"The SDK 2.40 will be available to dev. late in June. The actual Firmware 2.40 might see the light of day a lot sooner (my personal guess would be launch aligned or slightly before MGS4 )." - stated PSU’s forum insider.

Also with the addition of improved Audio/Video communication, it's safe to say Sony is finally providing it's users with a better online community, nearing the quality of Microsoft's Xbox Live.

I hope it really is In-Game XMB. That would be awesome.

I have some doubts though. For one, such a big update you'd think would be reserved for an X.0 update....

Not complaining, of course, but still....

Uh they say that they GUESS it will be released before MGS4, there's nothing to support the news that it WILL be released before MGS4 as the title suggest. But good news anyway.

  Check my post in the General PS3 forum. Its all rumors at this point, but there are a lot of sources claiming the same release window.

Just ignore it iLLmatic, why people care so much about thumbs is beyond me

Considering the rumours we've heard this could be true

A universal friends list sound like a godsend, and to be honest, i'm surprised the PS3 doesn't have it already..
