Update: We’ve now been told that in-game XMB in being checked for full library compatibility and that user-music and Trophies will only work with games created with the brand new tools. More here.
Update 2: The release is now rumoured for June. We’re waiting on comment from SCEE.
Videogaming247 has it on good authority that the upcoming PS3 Firmware 2.4 will include in-game XMB and Trophy support.
We’re told that the added XMB feature allows users to play their own music in-game.
Programming tools to support the update have apparently now gone out to developers.
We’re unaware that a release date for the software has been set. Sony has already said that in-game XMB wil be added to PS3’s functionality this summer.
This is unconfirmed. Just remember where you heard it first.

I wonder how long it will take a dev to leak the info on the new functionality.

Hopefully in time for when Pat wakes up.

Didn’t we already know about the trophy support? It was doing the rumourang about a month ago. You even ran a story on it!

I think this is a lot more solid. We knew Trophies were going to be included at some point, but not in the same update as in-game XMB, which in itself wasn’t confirmed.
Maybe I’m completely wrong, though. It’s all a bit blurry.
