Jun What did we learn this week? The Sony Group Corporate Strategy Update revealed a few things you’ll be hearing more about in the near future, the PSP and Metrocards go hand in hand, and inFAMOUS looks pretty damn good.
Here’s where I ask for your links: As always, feel free to share your favorite reads in the comments below. Comments may take longer than usual to appear – even bloggers deserve a day off.
But because I know what you’re going to ask about, and because we don’t traffic in rumors and/or speculation, I invite you to come back to the Blog tonight (just shy of midnight Pacific). We’ve got a video to show you.

Great 2.4 sounds like it’s nearly here !
Hey for those of you using TVersity for streaming media to your PS3, there’s a new version just out now – 1.0 RC1 .
Find it here http://tversity.com/download/. Works great and fixed some of the previous version bugs.

LMAO! Check out the Kotaku spin coverage! You know, as soon as I finished watching this vid, I thought to myself, “I wonder how Kotaku will spin this?” Well, I have my answer, and so do all of you!
“Here’s Sony’s Eric Lempel. Eric’s taking us through Sony’s 2.40 firmware update for the PS3, and in particular, how the much-requested in-game XMB is going to work. Pleased? You’re no doubt the sensible type, who knew not to expect too much. Disappointed? You’ve got nobody to blame but yourself (specifically, your unrealistic expectations).”

Jeez . . . at least normally they ATTEMPT to appear unbiased. They’re not even trying anymore.

where should i post a comment about future functionality of the ps3?

+ TypeF on June 30th, 2008 at 1:20 pm said:
For the PS3 version 2.4 you guys need to add this:
1. invite friends from xmb to your current game (they’ll need to pop their cd in of course just like the xbox 360)
2. xmb voice chat (private chat with a friend while playing online. It’ll mute everyone else in game but not your private chat on your bluetooth/mic headset just like the xbox 360)
3. add a PS messenger instead of mailing
those ARE the most important thing you’re forgetting
xbox 360 has MSN messenger. It has private chat with friends. It can invite people to your game even though they playing their own all they need to do is insert their cd.
“Trophie” is ok…i guess is a way of putting ACHIVEMENT POINTS from xbox 360. BUT let this trophies be available in use for the PSN STORE just like the ACHIVEMENT POINTS.
If you guys manage to do this, you guys are all set for sure. There wont be any more complains so please do this.

Including a feature to record your own gameplay so your friends can stream it and watch it through the buddy list will be nice. Something like Halo 3

thanks once again SCEA-Sony for the new features One Q-A about the PSP PSN Store is it the same as when you access it through remote play just with out the PS3 and will the download go to your PS3 or PSP system
