yes, finally it will be coming for us, only 48 hours to go

Yes, finally its confirmed only 2 days

Right on. It's about time.

ps3 ftw!

yes!!! Perfect! Excellent! Less than 48 hours i'd say!

 awesome!!!

WOOP WOOP...LITTLEBIGPLANET YAY lol....cant wait till wednesday :)

Just noticed it on the playstation blog too.  On the blog they are demonstrating trophies and right on the bottom of the article they say it's released on 2nd July o/

I hope Naughty dog updates Uncharted Drake's Fortune.

Am I the only one who isn't wetting my pants over this?

It really has little impact on how I play games.

Customisable soundtracks is tempting but apart from that, a big SO WHAT?

Why are people so excited by the prospect?

 haleluya!!!!!!!!

Yea baby thats what im talking about!

I just watched the trophy video on the blog and it looks great. Pretty much the same as Live but great non the less. They have implemented four different kinds of trophies as well as a feature simular to gamer score on Live.

Now just release it so we can try it!

This be the best update will we ever have lol, cannot wait!!

 thank you, its about time

It's "Xross Media Bar", not "Xcross".  'the **** is an Xcross? Sounds like an Anti-Christ.

Is this good-news monday??

July 2nd is going to be a big day for Europe DS3 plus 2.40 firmware. Sending out HOME invites would complete this 'Super Wednesday'

@wintee no your not alone, i too cant really see what all the fuss is about.

Yeah ok being able to play your own music in game is nice (high velocity bowling for example already does it) but everything else.....pah! trophies.......woopy doo, what you gonna do with those??? Invite ya mates round to look at them???? But when all is said and done it kinda ALMOST completes the PS3 firmware especially being able to reply to messages.

@Wintee... People are so excited, including myself, because when you are sittin there playing a good game of mgs4 and your friend messages you saying "lets play warhawk" you cant do anything to tell him your coming or not.  you have to leave the game, send him a message and then go back to the game only to have your friend send you another message...do you see where this is going?  This is especially helpful in online games where there is no friend or lobby system so you can tell your friends what room you are in.  In-game messaging is a HUGE deal

@ Wintee

The reason you are missing is that we no longer have to quit out of a game to check a message over the PSN!  You can just pause it, pull up the XMB and send/receive messages, and go back to playing.  That's great!  Plus, people have been asking for this for a long, long time.

Also, you don't have to quit out of a game to set up a wireless device (headset / PSEYE).

Thanks for listening to us, Sony.  We all appreciate it!

wednesday wont come soon enough and has come at just the right time as recently ive started to get back into warhawk. id forgotten how good it actually was ;)

can anyone point me to a vid of the walkthrough that isnt youtube, or that viddler thing, i cant watch them at work

Woop Woop !!! Not long now :)

Finally. Nothing else to say.

Awesome! 2 days! Once this comes out, and the rest of games for 08, I have no idea how the 360 will keep up.

Trophies  :D

im gonna get the biggest score!

@McMasamune: Why is there always someone who has to believe the opposite? eh? Is hundreds of news reports of this, and Sony confirming it, and EVEN providing a video of it not enough?

great...prolly this will shut most of the people up...but doubtful they'll still find something to gripe about

psn id: gingo...glad to see this much needed feature finally getting an appearance and i hope they implement everything everybody wanted

About, time PS3 got the 2.40 firmware. YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bring it on baby!

I like how Sony is doing this trophy system!  And Thank you that Warhawk will support them!!  All i need is Uncharted.. Once I beat Uncharted on Crushing, i will have done EVERYTHING. ( beaten the game a few times, all difficulties, all medals, etc. )  I want a trophy for that :P

 It seems almost like chirstmas to some people commenting on the blog lol

damnit!

Im away from tomorrow til next wednesday!

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!

And it's FR33

great job, but wat about da old games

@bloodwarg  I totally agree... I forgot about warhawk after getting COD4 and MGS4, but now playing it again... man its good!

Excellent news!! at long long last! Thats def one the good things about the Ps3 there's contunued improvements and developments, although some should have been available at release. Still its all good. This feature will seriously reduce my annoyance levels when I get a message at a critical point in a game! Now Home and LBP to look forward too! Hopefully we'll be able to have in Game chat with Friends, whom aren't in the online game, next!!

Good two more days until something that should have been their in the first place is...now.

Wow.  Sooner than I thought!  Cool...

ok now HOME!!!!

YESSSSSSSSS dude we get all the features live has and more (plus the trophy system design is alot better IMO) for free! and in 2 days this freaking rocks i love how you can compare trophys and such so easily and how much more convenient online gaming will be this update kics ASS

people are excited about it so much because 1 first and foremost the in game xmb and messaging and being able to launch directly into a game from another and being able to setup your mic makes online gaming WAYYYY more convenient and fun

plus the trophy system just adds a new level of competition i mean not only will you be able to try to best your friends on the games' individual leader boards now you can try to beat them in being an all around better gamer and trying to best their "level" its bragging rights its respect just like winning trophys in sports or even getting rep on these boards its competition and alot of people think its fun.

i for one really like it because it allows me to compete with people even if its a single player game which is AWESOME because i hate when i do something extremely hard in a game like beating the last boss without taking any damage and not getting recognition for it  or something of that nature now competition isnt for everyone and in that case i can see why you wouldnt really care but alot of people do and look at it this way

you dont have to pay for features other people want

soft

So back to moaning aboout something else then ;)

looks like its time to get back into warhawk!

I would still like to put my own picture on my online profile, that should be easy to do. and I heard about this a long time ago, and never forgot it, hopefully it's soon too, I'll still be happy with 2.4, you know it's the little things that count....

yeah i want custom avatars aswell com'on sony!!!

finally now everyone can complain that the psp hasn't got in game XMB and remote play doesn't work both ways

they finally implement it the day im about to go to denmark, now i have to wait a whole week... and the trophies arent currently supported on any of my games grrr

Finally the whiners will shut their mouth!!!

YESSSSSIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRR and gingo shut up SSOONNNN how many times do i have 2 tell ya to SHUT THE H$LL UP sco'ish @!#@!$!@#$
