In-Game XMB - July 2nd

It's official. The much anticipated 2.40 firmware for the PS3 will be released on July 2nd (this Wednesday). Many of the features in this firmware are way overdue, but at least they are finally coming out. Some of these features include: in-game xmb, sending/receiving messages during a game, trophy support, clock, custom soundtracks, etc.

The PlayStation blog has a video walkthrough of some of the features of 2.40. Check it out!
