Many Playstation 3 owners will be pleased to hear that Sony is hard at work on an in-game version of the XMB. You can compare this new XMB with the Dashboard of the Xbox 360 that you can summon in the middle of a game. You can communicate with your friends and change all sort of settings without going out of your videogame, something that at the moment is not possible with the Playstation 3.

Shack: It's nice to have a PlayStation Network username, but right now the features associated with it (messaging, etc.) can't be accessed within games. Will this functionality be implemented in the future? If so, what's the timeline on this?
Eric Lempel: We are looking at a number of enhancements related to accessing some of the XMB features during gameplay, including messaging your friends. While there's no timeline to announce at this point, we've heard loud and clear from consumers that in-game XMB access is one of the most requested PS3 enhancements.

Besides this they also talk about the Playstation Network and how they add new content on it.
