Non c'è dubbio che la chat vocale e XMB in game siano le feature più attese del prossimo aggiornamento firmware PS3, il 2.40. Oggi il magazine online gaming-age ha rivelato di aver avuto la sicura conferma che queste due caratteristiche saranno implementate insieme ad altre interessanti novità. Ancora imprecisata la release che dovrebbe comunque avvenire tra giugno e luglio.

We've finally received word that the long awaited, and much rumored, PlayStation 3 Firmware Update 2.40 is indeed the real deal and is said to be coming relatively soon. Many of the most requested features, such as a universal friends list and in-game messaging will be included, in addition to a few rather nice surprises (*cough*soundtracks*cough*). We definitely can't divulge all of the details, but trust us, it's coming. We aren't yet 100% sure of the actual release date, but all signs point to sometime in June. We're guesing that Sony will probably detail 2.40 in the coming weeks.
