PlayStation3 just got the update I've been eagerly awaiting. In light of the upcoming Playstation Home "game/community" they've added some fantastic features. In-game XMB, messaging and all. It's the minor function that 360 users cound dangle above PS3 for all this time. Now we're moving forward with the same deal. Rumour of video messaging too.

They've added the trophy system finally, similar to 360's achievement, except that they'll mostly affect the game Playstation Home. You'll have a trophy room in said game, to show off to your friends. I personally don't have enough information on the issue to say that's ALL they're for. Though, I kinda doubt it.

So, the big vision for PS3's online community is coming together. When PS Home comes along, we'll finally be there.

You'll see the Dudesoft persona chillin' in the arcade or by the pool tables and be like "Yo dudesoft, let's play some LittleBigPlanet" and I'll be like, "sure let's see what 'choo got." and we'll jump into it.

My friends, this update is the beakon for the beginning of Awesome.

Here's the full list for lazy-folk

I don't know why people are all "XMB YEAH FUCK YOU XBOTS" or whatever fanboys are saying. I mean this should have been done ages ago, same with that Delayware "Home" :(

I mean it's awesome it's here but took them long enough. I still have yet to update cause I tried earlier but it stopped at 20% for some reason I'm still figuring out.
