Hi

Some hours ago, you could read the following on the Playstation Homepage:

direct link: http://www.us.playstation.com/PSN/default.aspx

Meanwhile Sony has taken off the site again.

So ingame XMB is coming soon.

again? fuck this fucking rumors... fuck!

Jaa we know, well not on the official site but re-confirmation is good i guess, this week firmware update................. lulz.

Interesting, I wonder if that was supposed to be put up during GDC or something. Wouldn't surprise me, since that stuff is important for Devs to know.

It's been coming soon for months.... Without a date, we don't really know anything more.

fake.

Aw... sad face :(

It has been confirmed for quite sometime that it's coming during 2008...nothing new.. :(

Good, The faster they get it up and running the better.

so who saw the page there a few hours ago exactly?

**crosses fingers**
Here's hoping GDC will have some good announcements!

Me. Clinton514 also who reported it in the home thread:

All I can comment on is that there appears to be "things" "happening."

Most likely it's all going to be related to GDC.

I'm hyped again.

Fuck.

That wording is pretty.....I dunno.

"talk to friends during gameplay..." It seems very, shifty. I can talk to friends during gameplay, provided they're in the same game. However, it is interesting they took it down. We all know it's coming, it will just be nice to know when.

And it only took... a year and a half?

Wait what?

I don't get it, how do you know if in game XMB is coming through that webpage.

Yeah, but it's under 'friends & messaging'. The current friends & messaging blurb says nothing about communicating in gameplay. And they don't qualify it as "online game play", which might lead one to think they could just be talking about the current setup, with voice chat in some online games, as provided by the games.

If this is functionality to be provided by "friends and messaging", it more suggests xmb messaging to me..but we'll see.

For comparison. The current blurb is this:

* Friends list
* Text messages
* Audio and video chat**

That page had it as:

Talk to others during game play, say hello anytime you're online, or have a vdieo chat with an Eye camera, USB camera or headset.

There is a change there, and in both cases it seems to be referring to xmb functionality.

I also can't see what else that was potentially "sensitive" that would warrant taking down the page..the only other thing that quite of stuck out to me was mention of exchanging "user created content" in your apartment in Home, on the linked to home page. Then again, I guess that 'just' means photos/music/video as already announced.

yeah it took sony a long time to get in game xmb,

but it also took Microsoft long time to get there hardware to stop breaking, but maybe they still haven't got that done

If only it took the same time for Microsoft to give us a reliable system. Still waiting.

EDIT : Argh, beaten !!!

Where on that screenshot shows anything XMB related? oO

:lol

can't wait to hear from other sites about them emailing sony about it and they deny.

What is this feature and that's the point of it?

Good. Go forth, PSN, ye lesser of two evils, and destroy XBL. It is for the good of gamers everywhere.

To stop XBot trolling.

Impossible! NPD software sales. :lol

GDC Believe!

Awesome. About time we got this.

Next week will prove interesting. Cause either we will all be happy for finally getting solid dates for home/in-game xmb, or we'll be pissed because we failed to get either... we shall see.

Anyone remember when something like this happened on the Eternal Sonata website?

Yeah, and we're still waiting for that to come out too...

Yay! Feature Parity!

Now how about something the XB360 hasn't had for 2 years?

I don't like this "catch-up" thing. I'm tired of my friends making fun of my ps3!

You see, time goes by a lot quicker for PS3 owners. Their systems actually work for the duration.
