Coming Soon = E3. Shame they have to make it a special event to get what should have been their a year ago.

In game XMB is the ability to access the menu interface without completely leaving the game. In hopes of doing this, it allows for users to use the message feature and the ability to see who is on (vs watching the screen for the pop ups of people of getting on and off PSN.)

Honestly, I would trade in game XMB for unifed voice chat but I guess this will have to do. Some of the best game that I thought would be great fun felt like crap without voice chat (UT3 and Hot Shot Golf)

Even unified voice chat wouldn't completely solve the problem.

Sony really screwed up by not putting a mic in the box like Microsoft did.

 

I for one think that the voice chat problem is not that big of a deal. Two of the biggest online games for PS3 (in my opinion) bring a bluetooth headset, Warhawk and Socom:Confrontation (obviously not released yet). I have like 3 bluetooth mics myself, yet I never use them. I just think that until Sony does add unified voice chat across all games like MS does, ppl wont stop complaining.

 

On Topic: Finally, ever since the rumors resurfaced, I been checking forums like crazy tryin to find any lil bit of info of in-game XMB. It could be that the rumors of an update coming the 18th and 26th are true, the 18th for 2.36 and the 26th for 2.4. That or what I had predicted comes true: announced at E3 and comes out a week or so after.
