Sony VP promises in-game XMB, NA video download service, PlayStation Cards in ‘08

Filed under: ,

It doesn’t seem like those Sony firmware engineers will be a getting a break any time soon. With the PlayStation 3’s v2.30 firmware and its DTS-HD MA / PS store upgrades barely settled Sony Senior VP Peter Dille jumped on the official PlayStation blog to let us know what the rest of 2008 has in store. In-game XMB? On the way this year, along with a video service that “separates the service from others you’ve seen or used…to give you the TV, movies and gaming content you want,” and expanded community features. Also in store are PlayStation Cards (in $20 and $50 denominations) for the credit card-less among us. The four pillars of Sony’s plan (community, free online gaming, digital media download services, and original content) hint towards the reasons we won’t let the shiny beast get quite as dusty this year.
