PS3 update 2.40 walkthrough Part:1

I hope this video is enough to satisfy your "In-game XMB access" anxiety because this video just about shows every feature of the upcoming 2.40 update for the PS3. The video is officially available at http://www.blog.us.playstation.com" or see the video here...

It is pretty easy to work with: click at any time on the PlayStation button and XMB will pop up on top of the game you are playing. From there you can do anything you can normally do in the main crossbar: read and send messages online, change games, activate your Bluetooth set, or change the game music soundtrack to your favorite music playlist. According to Eric, it will work in "the majority of games." But there is one hitch; if you have to watch a photo slideshow, you have to quit the game.
