PS3 in-game XMB and trophy video leaked by Bioshock (PS3/Xbox 360) Dev

As many of you may have heard PS3’s 2.40 firmware update is speculated to bring in-game XMB. Now it seems like there is more evidence supporting this rumor. A video has been leaked onto the Internet that demonstrates in-game XMB.

We have seen fake pictures that were dissected and proved false, but this video looks awfully convincing it’s the real McCoy. Kotaku reports this video was pointed out to them from one of the readers. The video also verifies the implementation of the trophy system as well as new clock added to the to right side of the screen of the XMB.

Clearly you can see the XMB overlaying over the Bioshock screen, thus the speculation this video was leaked by one of the Bioshock Devs who are working on the trophies for their PS3 version of Bioshock.

In-Game XMB Video

Gaming-Age confirms this report that indeed  2.40 will have in-game XMB among other features such as:

- In-game custom soundtrack

- Universal friends lists

- In-game messaging

- and more they can’t comment on yet.

This great news as PS3 fans can finally get to enjoy everything their brethren console Xbox 360 has currently.

This firmware is said to come sometime June, my guess is June 10 when Sony usually releases their firmware update. It makes perfect sense they would have these features in place before the launch of Metal Gear Solid 4 that same week. Kojima has verified Metal Gear Solid 4 will take advantage of in-game custom soundtrack through the MGS4 simulated iPod inside the game but never gave details if this was part of the game or Sony’s doing.

MGS4 is said to have trophy system as well, and might be the very first game to utilize this.
