PS3 XMB Update Coming At E3

June 28, 2007 in News comments 6

Looks like Sony have realised that people want to access the XMB while in game. This probably means everyone who wants to play their own music while in game will finally be able to. Also I like the idea of seeing which games friends are playing while in a game as well.

Hm, sounds a lot like what Xbox live has right now...but oh wait, I don't have to pay monthly/yearly for mine online...cool :D

Reports are coming out that Sony is set to show off a big XMB update for the PS3 at E3.

The new update to the XMB is going to allow it to include a whole new plethora of features including the ability to access things such as the PSN, a new profile section, as well as the ability to manage your friends list, message, etc. all under different headings and all while you are in the game.

Sony has also stated that they are going to be changing the PlayStation Store. The idea is to try and make it far more user friendly to navigate through.


The way the store is currently set up the PlayStation Store simply cannot fit all of the content Sony wants to have in it, prompting the change.

It is likely that the new XMB is also going to feature pictures, gamerscores from your trophies, as well as other features not yet announced. Let the hype for E3 begin!

    Well done to Sony for realising what we want, and acting on it. Bad job for Microsoft who keep denying that they have a problem.

    I'm looking particularly forward to the Playstation Store update. I currently hate the current one, it's just far too... unfriendly.

    When IS E3 anyhow? Isn't it in late summer, early fall or something? Yes, thats right, a Gamer who doesn't know when E3 starts -_-

    I hope we can play custom music, as well as access the friends list (to send messages)...it will save a lot of hassle...Well, the friends list thing is confirmed, I just hope the music thing applies too...

    And PLEASE, SONY! Allow for better organization of media files!

    I believe it's October 18th through the 21st of this year that E for All is going to happen. Don't quote me on that though.

    E3 is this july.

    And I don't really have a problem with the store layout. But if they can make it better, by all means, go ahead.

    Well well what do we have here. Something that is a stepping stone for ps3 blast of the sales. Hopefully. I mean we have said the PSN has potential. And it looks like its been very promising from the start. Now add this to games and a possible lowering of the console we might have our selves a great system to get.
