[chasegamez]

[Rattles]

^^^

[mighty_douche]

Thats some nice digging there dronde!

Im starting to believe it might actually be coming soon.

[Ice]

Hoping they announce it at gdc. I dont care if its the whole xmb though that'd be nice, but I hope it's music too. Being able to communicate with friends during game play is at least a start and the best one to start with if anything.

[joydestroy]

dude, that would be so sweet. any in game XMB would be awesome, especially music. PS3 owners are gonna go nuts when it comes.

[nix]

the current soundtracks in Burnout Paradise sux! and oh... PS3 is the only media player in my living room. got rid of the old DVD player and my comp is in another room.

[SuperTanker]

I wonder if Criterion already knew that custom soundtracks would be coming to the ps3 soon, also, so they left it out of the ps3 version of burnout. Let's hope they announce in-game music/chat at GDC.

[Kleptic]

agreed 4.2...DJ automica and the soundtrack of that game are what have kept me from purchasing it so far...I know at some point there should be support for my own music (and hopefully a patch to shut that DJ up completely)...

but if we get this feature soon, it will be the next game I buy...same with Motorstorm...awesome racing...horrible music selection (although not as bad as Paradise)...this stuff needs fixed...

with that said though...the first feature I want is in game messaging and invites/join stuff...If we get that soon, I will be able to wait a bit longer for in game music no problem...

[chrno6]

Logically Sony will implement this feature before the release of gta4.

[Ducati]

Same info is also appearing in the New Zealand Site http://www.nz.playstation.c...

[THC CELL]

maybe the sites are telling u this cause its due in a matter of days ?
i bet just after the 18th of feb

[mighty_douche]

Hopefully someone will find and post an offical statement soon!

TnS im looking at you ; )

[Mikelarry]

fingers crossed cuz i cant handle quiting a game just to chat to my friends that are online playing a different game. its driving me crazy

[Kleptic]

well knowing Sony there will not be an announcement until the day it is released...they usually post it on the blog, literally when some people are already forced to download the update...

I hope it happens though...

[yeh]

I want in-game XMB as much as the next guy, but this doesn't sound like in-game XMB. It sounds like they're talking about 'chatting with other people in a game' via headset, which has been available basically since launch.

[JVIDICAN]

thing is, if it was just that would sony really be so quick to remove it from the website

[nix]

maybe they are talking about while playing online multiplayer game... just guessing.

[therealwillie]

thats the way i took it up, i seriously doubt its substituting talk for "send messages to others during game play" but i suppose people see what they want to see even if its not there.

[PopEmUp]

SONY!

[SeanScythe]

Wait we can already talk in-game, then it say have a video chat it doesn't say in-game for that part. Unlike the other one from the USA site.

You can't hide forever, lol.

[J@D]

It coming very but very soon.

[level 360]

Have done it.

Downloaded a few free good on-line games and demos that I like.

Looks nice and is working fine.

No complaints.
