[UPDATE] White Knight Story dated for Japan
No trophy support for Fallout 3 at launch
Killzone 2 press invites not out yet, says SonySony has a cruel sense of humor by teasing PS3 owners that in-game Xross Media Bar (XMB) access was apparently coming soon and all it took was a t-shirt.
SCEA's Official PlayStation blog recently updated their Flickr page from GDC '08 with a "funny" image, shirts that proudly showed off the phrase "In-Shirt XMB." The internet had already been ablaze with rumors of in-game XMB being confirmed this week at GDC, but for now we will just have to wait as Sony let everyone know that is just the way they like to have fun.
"It’s us being cheeky. It’s a developer’s conference, not hardware or firmware, so no announcements on that front this week." said Jeff Rubenstein on the Official PlayStation Blog, "If by “VERY soon” you mean this week - debunked. I see the same rumors, and they’re just that - rumors. Literally 95% of what I’ve read this week is just groundless speculation. But hey, that’s the game biz."
But regardless of the hidden meaning of the shirt, one fact that can be taken from them is that Sony has listened to the consumer's demands and hopefully will be implementing this long sought feature soon. If you remember , back at CES 2008, Sony Rep Paul Purdy dropped the news at that in-game XMB access was confirmed for 2008, but could not speculate on a specific time frame. It may be only a matter of time before we hear some news with regards to this, but as a Myth Buster to all of you, the myth has been busted!

Resize picture please.
But Its coming, watch them sneak it in within the next couple weeks.
Eh. We'll see what they got up there sleeves.
those bastards lmaoooo
i want one of those shirts :)
Too bad I'm broke or I'd have to buy one of these shirts.
Well it shows they got a sense of humor haha
lol, that is funny. real cute! sony. i really want one of those shirts though. :P
Cant wait, as long as its out before GTA IV im happy.... well my friends are happy because I wont be turning off GTA IV to receive a message from someone unless they have in game XMB out by then!
I must get my hands on one of those shirts. New grail mission....
Fek off - I wish they would just deliver something.
Pfft I bet its probably coming around the same time home hits. >_>
I am also on the bandwagon for those shirts. In-game XMB will be ready when it is ready, I don't mind waiting as long as it is done right. Please give me one of those shirts seeing has how they are ready right now. :)
i agree with uncool :)
psn id: gingo.... lol this was good by sony but i dont expect to see in game xmb until home arrives which could be any time
Haha, nice one Sony! :D
Make some fun out from those rumors!
It's incredible how impatient people can be. It will come, don't worry! I want it good and perfect working as they are doing, not rushed because some people can't wait. Because if that wasn't the case, you would also complain about the quality. Just take the time it takes and wait.
xmb needs to come soon like now sony !!!!
lol nice! Well looks like in game xmb is finally comin.....now to get me one of those t shirts
Guaranteed that ingame XMB will be included in the massive update that includes home, no sooner.
Well its a good thing sony aren't going into the stand up comic business. This siht aint funny, only cruel. MF's.
In- Shirt XMB, HA HA REally funny sony. No really thats quite clever.
hahah that is funny. However, though I know its coming, they do need to step it up. With BR having won the format war, a killer game line up etc...more and more people are looking at the PS3.
At first no ingame xmb wasn't a big deal but I can totally see how it can be a pain if you have friends that like to message you etc.
ill buy this t shirt and flount it off in front of a xbox fanboy while sipping on my sony cup,and wearing sony shoes,and watch and every thing els.y the hek did they do this it ant funny i want xmb like the 360
I still reckon its coming soon..
lol, I'm an internet celebrity now..the answer to my question which has quotes from me has been used in a PSU article !!
I don't understand why everyone wants one of the t-shirts though..they don't look particularly good, and you'll be classed as a supernerd !! lol
tommarrow would be nice
I acyually want one of those shirts, where can we get one
in game xmb for me its not a big deal(the only kool thing about it is playing cooperatively with two different profiles)for example like warhawk FredFredBurger3 and FredFredBurger3(1) that sux.......but what i really want is the release date of home''í don't want to hear them say they have delayed it again''just release date please just to be sure
That would be awesome in COD. You could send messages to frends u r playin with so people with the eavesdrop perk can't listen in on your strategies.
i need this. it gets so annoying when i have to quit the game
that better mean that in game xmb is coming loll
