Massive XMB update coming - in time for home

[shinblade]

i posted this in the Firmware 1.82 thread, but have decided it deserves it's own...

i've just been told that there's HUGE Xmb update going to be shown at e3 - with folders availible in all sections (e.g Demo's, PSN, Classic, etc in the game heading) also a new 'profile' section that will include a gamerscore, pictures, logs, and achievements / trophies (which will also link into home and be viewable as a 'screen' in your apartment if you wish). This new section will also include account management and the friends list and messaging will be a seperate heading.

Finally, the PS Store is getting a MAJOR overhaul... it will use a more console-type interface, and be more effectively laid out - the current store simply won't be able to handle the content sony have got planned in terms of the different types and volumes.

Oh... and you'll be able to 'wear' your trophies!!! you can select a trophy and it will appear as a graphic on your T-shirt or whatever. brilliant!

E3 for the total win!

Sound good, but fake where did all of this info come from and do you have a link or source?

[Wearevenom1]

Sounds great so I can't wait for this fall.

[Tutankhamun]

if it's true then this is going to be cool, but no source so..

[Zetsumei]

WOW, if this is true... my hype train will transform into a hype rocket!!!

AND YES, MY HYPE TRAIN IS A TRANSFORMER!!!

[GavJLam19]

Where has this info come from?

[TooGood]

That would be quality, but is there a source??

[Doc Evils]

If this is true....Sony is teh winnnerz!

[Major Ocelot]

Sounds like everything I could have wanted so far. PS Store seriously needs something to compete with XBL, at the moment it is nothing compared to it.
But this sounds great all they need to add is some content with that and then we're in business.
Also, finally some folders! Those are desperately needed at the moment my games section looks really unorganized and I don't like that.

[LordNoob]

Keep the hype coming. All we need is a little bit of delivery and we achieve world domination.

[Saigon]

this sounds real good, matter of fact amazing, but is there a link to this info...

[cheifshockey11]

If this is true that be great, but no source. Even there was a source wouldn't be certain until E3

[ldksparda21]

please provide some proof, if true tho it would be a major change

[GhostWorks]

Sounds interesting enough, when and where?

[Fnords]

Gief source plx!
No, seriously this is great news, but we do need a source

[darkiewonder]

neoGAF is your source or just pure speculation to hype people up? Thanks. I'm not going to believe it without a concrete source.

[ThinkTank]

It must be true, it's in bolded italic font.......

But I'm going to wait for a source before I get too excited.

[burgniel]

uh oh... I think it is time for this:

[LiQuiFiedArt]

Only a couple weeks till we see all of this with our own eyes!@#

Source Please or I call BS

[Dibbz]

People are asking for a source? Do you guys not remember the HOME presentation at GDC? Phil Harrison clearly stated everything that could be done in HOME could also be done through the XMB, so that included's looking at achievements, scores, trophies etc.

Just go watch the demonstartion again.

This update whill probably come when HOME hits.

How many times will people learn never to board the Hype train?

Constantly we are disappointed.

[GavJLam19]

Shinblade get the source in there!

That is all speculation nothing firmly announced. I mean I could cook wash dishes etc., but I don't.

so can we expect this by October (assuming this isn't bs)?
