Sick of waiting for In-Game XMB? Well, it's coming tomorrow.   Here is a video from Sony showing how it works.

Also, here is a video about the new trophy options.

Is this update just for what is available on the Xbox?

I've just watched all of them and it says things like messaging in game, playing music in games, achievements, etc. Just seems like all the stuff which was on the Xbox 360 since release.

It's giving Playstation 3 owners the ability to send messages while in a game. Before we had to close the game, then reply to the message we got. It is much like the Xbox 360, but it's a much needed update for the Playstation 3. Why does it matter if it's on the 360 anyways?

The trophy system isn't as advanced as the achievements with Xbox Live. You don't get points, which can be used to buy content off of the Playstation store, that I know of. It's pretty much used to see where you stand against your friends on the Playstation Network.

Hokay, just seems weird that you weren't able to send messages to people while playing a game.

Exactly, which is why all of us PS3 owners are so ecstatic about getting it.  It was just one bit of lag that kept us behind Xbox.

Welcome to X-Box live three years ago.

What does in-game messaging and music have to do with Live? Xbox Live is completely different than the Playstation Network. I love how a system isn't allowed to improve without some xbot making a remark about the 360. No one gives a fuck about the 360 anymore. You fanboys have done wore everyone out on it.

fanboys just want to make others feel bad about owning a different game system, just don't listen to them. And if you rant with them, your a fanboy yourself. Both system still have their ups and downs.

I prefer the see-through look rather than our block that engulfs half the screen.
