I'm not going to bich about in game XMB. But I WILL say this. We should be able to message our friends in game. We should be able to listen to music in game. We should be able to chat with mics to our friends in game. I'm not goona freak out about these lack of features, but I'm very disappointed. If Sony has been working on this update a year, God knows how long it will take to get in game XMB.

All I want is In-game XMB so I can listen to music while playing games. That's all. It's not much to ask for, is it?

How's about an option to have your avatar be invisible when you don't want to be bothered or just have a private game with one player?!? Hmmm...maybe next time eh! Along with all the other features alot of people are disappointed about being non-existent...at the moment!

So what, we didnt get in game XMB access for music? If thats the biggest gripe from the PS3 so far, then geez man get a clue. Look at how much revenue games pull in, Harry-Gregson Williams does the Metal Gear games. And alot of games have an absolutely terrific soundtrack. Now some games, it would be nice, but im not holding my breath as I really want them to implement it correctly, as not to mess any features up. To me, DS3 was a more drastic update.

What about HOME? Isnt that going to take the place of all the functions of XMB in game because the way I understood home is that it isnt a standalone game but a way to view photos, music, chat, and launch into games from Home. Therefore the ingame messaging will come about when we get HOME. That is atleast my guess because why would they release XMB ingame when that is what HOME will do also.

Lads, seriously, I was just using my Octo camo in the Sony exectutive meeting, they totally couldn't see me, I heard that 3.0 is going to have the following features...
-In-game XMB
-Ultra Mode for 7 times the power of a normal PS3
-Support for 12 million USB cables (I know, how can they do that in a firmware update...but they've done it)
-Cheese grater
-Homework Machine
-Back scratcher
-Parents alarm (warning you that your parents are coming, sweet huh)
Man Sony has failed to deliever on this firmware update, they knew what the community was expecting for this update and for whatever reason, they decided to release it without it. Or even saying if/when they intend to release those features.

I was looking forward to setting up playlists for my music, but unfortunately Sony neglected to allow you to use tracks stored on an external usb hard drive connected to the ps3. I store all my music on an external to save using space on the internal (they already take up 30gb on my external)...... VERY DISAPPOINTED! :(
