Big updates...
PS3 In-Game XMB Ready To Release, Home Coming Soon
The highly-anticipated Home for the Sony PS3 is apparently getting very close to release, as reports are also coming out that the in-game XMB for the PS3 is complete, which will allow for in-game and cross-game chatting, as well as the ability to pull up music and messages whenever you desire.
According to the Official PlayStation Forums, the PSedge dev kit has received an update.
The poster stated that there have been many new updates including new things added specifically for Home. One of the new big updates is that games must now be able to integrate into Home, and also has to support “Accomplishments” which are Sony’s answer to Xbox Live Achievement Points on the Xbox 360.
It was also noted that the in-game XMB for the PS3 is about ready to go.
It was stated that every single game which is coming out now for the PS3 will support the in-game XMB, and all older releases will be updated via a patch.
PS3 fans can rejoice, it seems that Home is not far away, and the in-game XMB is about ready to release, get set for the next PS3 firmware update!

MGS4 80GB bundle announced..
The bundle will include MGS4, an 80GB PS3 and a Dual Shock 3 included for an MSRP of $499.99. Expected release June 2008. It will also include an Metal Gear Online "Starter Pack. For players that pre-order Metal Gear Solid 4, there's an added bonus: they'll be guaranteed access in the multiplayer beta of Metal Gear Online in late April.
"Working closely with our retail and publishing partners and sharing our hardware and software roadmaps at Destination PlayStation gives us a great opportunity to outline some key milestones for the year.
In response to incredible demand, we will be manufacturing more 80GB PS3s for North America and the Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots 80GB PS3 bundle is an ideal way to offer that continued value to our consumers," said Jack Tretton, president and CEO of SCEA. "With Blu-ray having won the format war, our stellar software line-up and a broad product portfolio, we will continue to drive the incredible momentum we've been generating since last fall."

^ I'd beg to differ, sure the DS3 would be nice...
But I'd much prefer MGS4 over that if I had to choose.
Still, I have a PS3 so I'll just buy the game

Remember how good everyone thought Gran Turismo 4 looked? Remember the ads where the car stopped to look at the scenery?
Imagine what 6 will be like!

Firmware 2.20 Bringing BD-Live to PS3
London, 20th March 2008 - Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) today announced that system software update v.2.20, for PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3TM), planned for release in late March, will add Blu-ray DiscTM (BD) Profile 2.0 (known as BD-LIVE). With the ability to take full advantage of interactive features, such as downloadable video content, ringtones, games, and more, BD-LIVE promises to offer PS3 users the ultimate interactive film experience. In addition to BD-LIVE, the system software update will enable photo and music playlists on a PS3 to be copied to a PSPTM(PlayStation®Portable), as well as other new features.
To access Blu-ray Profile 2.0, users require an Internet connection and at least 1GB of local storage. Movies with BD-LIVE are scheduled for release next month.
The following features have been demonstrated to be possible with BD-LIVE and will vary depending on the title:
· A variety of downloadable content, including bonus scenes, shorts, trailers, subtitles, ringtones that can be sent to mobile phones, images, and more.
· Interactive movie-based games can pit players who are sitting in the same room, or are across the world and online, against each other.
In addition to BD-LIVE, system software update v.2.20 enhances PS3's relationship with PSP, enabling users to copy their favourite music and photo playlists to their PSP and experience them on-the-go. This new functionality makes it easer than ever to share media content between the two systems.
The following new features will also be included in the system software update:
· "Resume play" will enable PS3 to start playing a BD and DVD video at the point it was stopped, even if the disc had been removed.*1
· "Audio Output Device" will be a new Remote Play setting, enabling PSP to serve as a remote control for music played through PS3.
· PS3's Internet browser will be enhanced: Video files directly linked from a Web page will be able to be streamed, and the browser's view speed will be improved.
· DivX and WMV format videos that are larger than 2GB will be playable.
· "Mosquito Noise Reduction" will be added as an AV setting in the control panel of the DVD/BD player for improved movie playback.*2
*1 BD-J format disc is not supported.
*2 BD discs recorded with BDMV format are not supported.

right if i get a 40GB PS3 are you able to bluetooth photos, videos etc. from my sony ericsson phone to the console? As i know the 40GB version doesnt have the memory card slots to put my phone memory card into it and transfer stuff.
thanks for any help on this. still undecided whether to get 40GB or 80GB or just to wait for better deals as im in USA just now so all deals here are cheaper than UK deals
