What better way to enjoy a Sunday evening than by looking at some footage of how Sony’s XMB will work in-game.

The internets was in turmoil after videogaming247 broke the news that in-game XMB and Trophy support were coming in the next Firmware update: namely 2.4.

You might also notice in the video that whoever is using it has been rather naughty and has hacked his machine. We at VG247 do not of course condone such actions. In fact, we hope whoever does it burns in the hell-fire only Rick Perry can imagine.
