Confirmed by the official Sony blog, the company will be bringing several prominent new updates to the PlayStation 3 console including a new video service and in-game XMB.
Peter Dille, the senior VP for marketing with the PlayStation Network, confirmed that “some form of a new video service is definitely in the works”, different from “others you’ve seen or used.” The PSN currently only allows users to download demos and video trailers. In comparison, Microsoft’s XBL allows users to rent and purchase full movies and TV episodes.
The other main update will be the addition of in-game XMB access. XMB is simply the main menu interface on the PSP and PS3. Dille states “that by the end of the year, some form of in-game XMB will be launched, complete with an Xbox-like achievements system.”
