In a recent interview with Game Informer, Peter Dille, Sony's Senior VP of Marketing, discussed a number of topics regarding the PlayStation 3. While Sony's current place in the console market, exclusive PS3 titles and more may interest gamers, the one you're all dying to hear was indeed included.
While responding to a question about firmware updates, Dille wandered onto the topic of in-game XMB himself:
"As far as in-game XMB access, we know it's a feature that's important to our consumers. Because PS3 packs so much advanced technology 'under the hood,' it takes some time to implement major, new functionalities, but we are working hard on addressing this feature, as well as continually expand the capabilities and functionalities of PS3."
There you have it - they're working on it, and it IS coming at some point in the future. It's been pretty clear that gamers want it, and it seems that they'll eventually receive it. The last question we have is when. More on this controversial topic soon.

I DONT KNOW HOW MANY OF YOU GUYS ARE HOME BETA TESTERS LIKE MYSELF BUT LET ME TELL YOU ONE THING. THERE IS NO NEED FOR IN GAME XMB WHEN HOME IS RELEASED. WITH HOME YOU JUST PULL UP THE GAME FEATURE AND WALLAH IT SENDS YOU TO YOUR GAME. IF YOUR FRIENDS ARE ONLINE AND THEY WANT YOU TO JOIN THEM YOU CAN JUST JUMP INTO THE GAME. XMB WILL BE A THING OF THE PAST ONCE HOME IS FULLY IMPLEMENTED. I HOPE THAT BY NEXT YEAR THEY HAVE THE FULL VERSION READY FOR US ALL. HOME WILL CHANGE HOW YOU INTERACT WITH A COMPUTER BOX. ALL 3D.

we've ALWAYS known they were working on it. the problem is it's taking too long for some people and that's creating a lot of pain for the consumer having to wait. If it means they're rewriting the PS3's operating system from scratch to implement it. then fine but I think they should say it so that people understand ust how HUGE an undertaking they have to deal with in order to implement something that they know is being demanded of them.

stennex, how does home fix the issue when if you are already playing a game you have to exit the game to access home or read any of your freinds messages? I think you misunderstand some of the appeal of in game xmb.

I want to have the PS3s In-game XMB via my PSP :D
That way I can control the XMB with my PSP (changing in-game music, etc...) without obstructing the visuals off the PS3 game I'm playing.

I could honestly care less whether they add it or not, but I just hope that if they do, they do it well.

Just to be clear. He did NOT say it was comming. He said they are working on it. I believe it is comming, but you could look bad if they decide it isn't possible or worth the extra development time.

Hey DeadOnArrival06 (post#7), stop trying to be an internet tough guy while typing on a keyboard you loser. His post was dead on, basically what they're saying is KEEP ON WAITING. So stop crying like a 4yr old fat kid.

that's funny. i was on G4(one of the biggest video game channels) and they are having the Free Stuff Christmas Giveway coming up. On the forums, people are suppose to ask what they want and why. Mostly 3/4 of everyone asked for a PS3 because they said that all their friends had one and they want the upcoming games for Christmas. The other 1/4 was iPod. No offense, Xbox360, I think people are wanting the PS3 for Christmas. Now i wait for a PS3 Fanboy o an Xbox Fanboy to trash talk about this post...

@XB2B1 .... uhh no. microsoft does not make liquid cooled 360's, and you said your paying NOTHING for that new 360? Seriously XB2B1 are you joking? You paid for the 360 you will be sending in *smacks himself on the forehead*. Dude are you really 39 years old because you have the intelligence of a 4 year old. Jeez give up already.

I think a lot of the people were under the impresson it was being worked on...thought PSU could maybe shed some more light on the topic but noooooooooo lol they just say what everyone knew....hey, at least PSU still good for giving us old news
and @ xb2b1
dude, you just sound like an idiot, trying to justify owning the world worst piece of hardware, I really don't feel bad for you guys anymore but I wonder....how many times will you guys go through the same motions before you realise what actually makes sense....dude, if you hate the PS3 then get a nice gaming PC, but seriously dude, the shltbox360 is a joke, most people do know that.
