UPDATE:

Videogaming247 has obtained some new tidbits of information regarding the above story.

-Sony is currently shifting through the PlayStation 3's library of games in order to see if the XMB is fully compatible or not. It is expected the new menu system, in-game messaging etc will function in all games, though the current black menu screen will likely be retained for the majority of titles.

-User music is only included in new development tools, which have only just been distributed to coders. Therefore, existing games won't utilize the feature unless they are patched to do so.

-The same applies to the new trophy system; developers have only just obtained the tools necessary to input the feature into their software, so it'll be a while until they show up in games.

-Some elements of the XMB won't be usable in-game until after the next firmware update, such as the photo viewer. and i think its kind fake cuz weres the friends list and the playtion network icon thing

That picture was a fake from Game Informer magazine about what in-game XMB would look like. It was in a thread a few months ago.

I'm just hoping that the devs do release patches for games so that custom soundtracks work with the stuff I already have.

I could honsetly care less.

1. I hate being bothered while playing any game, so even with this feature I still wont be using it much.

2. I like listening to the music of games (Being a music producer myself), so playing other music while playing a game is a no go for me.

Who cares about custom soundtracks? I know I don't all i care is that I don't have to end a game to respond to a message. I wanna be able to send Video messages to a friend or record something in EyeCreate then send it to my freinds or even record a simple video message(nothing too elaborate). Wut about even sending little clips of videos thats on the HDD. Trophies is a plus so is a clock on the XMB and multiple sing ins for when my family and friends with PS3's come over we can get down in some multiplayer action and could unlock trophies on my PS3 and still have em when they get home

Honestly, I have never felt more excited in my life about VIDEO GAMES (not even for MGS4/GTAIV)

I feel like 10x the nerd I already was.

Hopefully this is true. Anyone know if it's been confirmed by Sony yet? If so I don't think I'll ever play my 360 again.

so this trophy thing is kind of like xbox360 achievements? cause thats cool adds another challenge to games.

but its saying that not all games are compatable with ingame xmb? and only some will have music, depending of the dev of the game to enable it?

Basically this is what's going to happen. 2.4 will come and you'll hear people crying and whining that they can't use trophies or music so I am telling you this NOW!

1) 2.4 will have the messaging system and in-game xmb access

2) Music will not be functional as of yet as the devs just got the new tools to impliment this feature in

3) trophies will also not be functional as the devs just got the new tools to impliment this feature

4) A patch will be required for previous games to have the ability to use trophies/music

I don't believe what you just said is 100% accurate. In game music, is more like background music. It's no different then what the PC and 360 does. You just play music from the XMB over your current game you are playing. I think the reason it took so long for Sony to figure out how to get it to work, is because that will eat up some RAM, and they needed to find out how to do that without killing the games. So "In game Music" should work on day one.... but I could be wrong, well I doubt i'm wrong.

The games that our out have to be patched for in-game XMB.

Yea but...

-Sony is currently shifting through the PlayStation 3's library of games in order to see if the XMB is fully compatible or not. It is expected the new menu system, in-game messaging etc will function in all games, though the current black menu screen will likely be retained for the majority of titles.

So Sony is already checking to make sure that it's working in the games. Therefore 2.40 update should be the patch to allow it for all games.

if they're gonna make a photoshopped image, they could have at least used the proper XMB and not the way it used to look. the network sybol is wrong and theres no friends list beside it. people are getting their hopes up too high right now. remember dont believe everything your told, especially if you're told it on the internet.

All the info they've obtained is from an "insider" at the PSU forums. soooooooo i'll believe it when i see it on my tv

my question is why patch something a game, when the music has nothing to do with the game. Like i said this is no different then playing music on your PC while you play a game. It's not like I want it in the game option, i just want to access my IN game XMB click a song, it start playing, and keep playing when i switch back over to the game.

I don't know if Sony did it like that though, we'll have to see once it rolls out. and as for Sony testing as far as I read the article says they tried the messaging part and stuff I never read them trying the music stuff.

So, why do we need in game access to the XMB?

I'm guessing it has something to do with online titles? I haven't played any on my PS3... so I wouldn't know about that. However, I can't recall any time I have needed to use my XMB while playing any of my single player games.

As to in game music... it's not that great. I've used it a few times on some of the more open world games, ie Oblivion... but if you use it for games with a deeper and more engaging storyline, you can ruin the mood the in game music is supposed to set. Also, some games on the 360 integrated the system poorly, actually turning off key sounds such as voice acting and even sound effects when you play your own music. Since it is up to the developer to integrate the system into their game, you'll probably see similar problems with user music on the PS3 aswell.

Are they saying that they have to patch in the in-game XMB? So if it wasn't patched into a game that I couldn't listen to my music in that game? Maybe I just read it too fast, but that sucks if it's the case.

Basically this is what's going to happen. 2.4 will come and you'll hear people crying and whining that they can't use trophies or music so I am telling you this NOW!

1) 2.4 will have the messaging system and in-game xmb access

2) Music will not be functional as of yet as the devs just got the new tools to impliment this feature in

3) trophies will also not be functional as the devs just got the new tools to impliment this feature

4) A patch will be required for previous games to have the ability to use trophies/music

I don't believe what you just said is 100% accurate. In game music, is more like background music. It's no different then what the PC and 360 does. You just play music from the XMB over your current game you are playing. I think the reason it took so long for Sony to figure out how to get it to work, is because that will eat up some RAM, and they needed to find out how to do that without killing the games. So "In game Music" should work on day one.... but I could be wrong, well I doubt i'm wrong.

"The user-music functionality is only included in the new development tools, which have now gone out to coders. This means that existing games won't support it unless they're patched. That's right: you won't be able to play GTA IV with your own music unless Rockstar updates the game, if what we've been told this morning is true."

The games that our out have to be patched for in-game XMB.

Yea but...

-Sony is currently shifting through the PlayStation 3's library of games in order to see if the XMB is fully compatible or not. It is expected the new menu system, in-game messaging etc will function in all games, though the current black menu screen will likely be retained for the majority of titles.

So Sony is already checking to make sure that it's working in the games. Therefore 2.40 update should be the patch to allow it for all games.

the devs will have to pathc their own games....it'll be in the form of one of those updates you get when you put the disc in. it clearly states that games will need to be patched

my question is why patch something a game, when the music has nothing to do with the game. Like i said this is no different then playing music on your PC while you play a game. It's not like I want it in the game option, i just want to access my IN game XMB click a song, it start playing, and keep playing when i switch back over to the game.

I don't know if Sony did it like that though, we'll have to see once it rolls out. and as for Sony testing as far as I read the article says they tried the messaging part and stuff I never read them trying the music stuff.

The game has to be patched because the music just does not play over the music in the game. It has to stop the game music and play yours. Like in High Velocity Bowling, this game already has in-game music. It stop the music in the game and lets you play your own IN PLACE of it, not ON TOP of it.

Exactly, I had oblivion for the 360 and tried out using my own music.

it turns off the background music of the game, and puts yours in. BUT all of the sound effects of your weapons and people talking to you still remained in the game.

Ahh... I see. Yeah, I thought that was a really cool feature and was admittedly confused about how it was implemented. Now I get it. But if it's not patched in will it still play OVER the game, because most games give the option to kill the music, after all.

yea seriously, don't worry about patching the game for that, just go into your options and turn the game music off. Make's it easier for Sony, plus we don't have to wait so long for another f'en patch
