PSM3 insider: in-game XMB not coming soon, PS3 to get other good stuff

The PlayStation 3 Magazine (PSM3) from the UK, known for its consistent rumor mill from a supposed insider, just unleashed another flurry of rumors for owners of Sony‘s console. According to the mag, the in-game XMB won’t be available in the next few months, but Sony has a long year ahead in terms of new features for its PS3 software and PlayStation Network service. Check out the full article for more of these rumors.

Interesting rumors have surfaced on the UK PlayStation 3 Magazine (PSM3), ranging from an intriguing sequel to a Microsoft Xbox 360 title making its way to the Sony PS3 to the disheartening delay of the widely anticipated in-game XMB feature.

According to PSM3’s supposed insider, the in-game XMB is indeed coming but not in a few months. That’s the only bad news, since the rest of rumor tidbits all say good things are coming to Sony’s console.

The insider claimed that a major Xbox 360 title will go cross-platform in its next iteration, while Ubisoft also has big offerings for the PS3 waiting to be announced come Ubidays 2008 this May. Alive, Assassin’s Creed 2, and the next Prince of Persia game are expected to be unveiled at the event.

Even with upcoming games, however, Sony’s biggest guns this year are said to be more on PS3 firmware and PlayStation Network features. PSM3’s rumormonger brought up “‘trophies or achievements to rival the Xbox Live system,” something Sony has been talking about since 2006.
