Gary Says: January 14th, 2008 at 9:03 am Probably faked.

Tosh Hatch Says: January 14th, 2008 at 9:13 am Lets see we have settings, music game and buddies on the xmb …. enough for me I’d like access to the web browser but not a big deal. Does seem fake, but hope it’s true.

Solid_Nat Says: January 14th, 2008 at 9:30 am Something is telling me that this is real, this is one of the biggest barriers to a more complete online experience with the PS3 and i think Sony will be working hard to get this sorted, some PSN titles have had bits and bobs of this, for example SSHD with the music and Pro Bowling with the friends list so it can be done, its just doing it for every game etc. If the PSN community is going to grow outside of Home this needs to be done ASAP, we all need to read messages in game etc.

Huschke Says: January 14th, 2008 at 9:34 am You guys are probably right. This looks to good to be true. I bet Sony’s “Ingame XMB” will be the current “Ingame XMB” + adding a column for reading and writing messages …

Lyndon Says: January 14th, 2008 at 10:13 am I’d say it’s a fake. Why would you need a “quit game” icon in the Game menu when you can access that through the PS button?

Henning Says: January 14th, 2008 at 10:19 am Why do you need at least six different ways of closing a Windows application? (Maybe there’s more, that’s how many I counted.) Flexibility. Everybody does things differently. As long as the flexibility doesn’t impede and clutter, I have no problem with it. You might get a message from a friend. You go to the XMB to read it. He invites you to a different game. So you quit. Makes sense to me.

Darrin Says: January 14th, 2008 at 10:27 am Maybe the forthcoming in-game XMB replaces the existing in-game menu screen with quit/shutdown/controller settings. Why would you want to keep both?

Henning Says: January 14th, 2008 at 10:29 am Ah, Darrin. How dare you make sense and point out the obvious? I totally missed that…

buffaloman Says: January 14th, 2008 at 10:42 am Isn’t that picture taken in someone house though? There’s sofas and a tablelamp in the tv reflection I think. I call shenanigans.

Gary Says: January 14th, 2008 at 10:44 am Well until Sony shows me otherwise I think it’s a fake.

John Says: January 14th, 2008 at 11:32 am If fake, it’s a well done photoshop job (but god knows there are many individuals talented with photoshop)

s0rr0wCREEK Says: January 15th, 2008 at 9:12 am This is something i found at Maxconsole.com….Quote: Finally some news concerning in-game XMB access… It’s confirmed for 2008, but when in 2008? No clue… Sony’s gaming division might have a small showing at this year’s CES, but that isn’t keep Paul Purdy from dropping some big PS3 news: in-game Xross Media Bar (XMB) access is confirmed for 2008. When pressed for a specific timeframe, the Sony rep simply relayed that Sony’s focus at CES is on hardware. For those not aware, the PS3’s operating system is unavailable while in games. This prevents the use of custom soundtracks or messenging while a game is active, and since the Xbox 360 offers its users both while in-game, PS3 owners have been justifiably frustrated. ……….End of Quote after all… it might be true http://www.maxconsole.net/?mode=news&newsid=24092

Henning Says: January 15th, 2008 at 9:26 am Actually: Confirmed fake.

derrickgott007 Says: January 19th, 2008 at 5:20 pm FAAAAAKKKKKKKEEEEEE!!!!!! Anytime I see a blurry picture it pretty much confirms fake, because if I am going to break some real news I’m damn sure going to make sure the pic is clear.
