GDC08: Sony t-shirt teases in-game XMB
SCEA just updated their Flickr page (aren't they so web savvy these days?) with an intriguing image: shirts that proudly display the phrase "in-shirt XMB." Apparently, Sony's picked up a sense of humor these days. We can only read this either one of two ways:
[Thanks, Matt!]
- ZOMG, in-game XMB confirmed!!!1
- Sony is just teasing the gaming community in a cruel, but nonetheless humorous, way.
[Thanks, Matt!]

1. Jeff Rubenstein says no firmware or hardware announcements at GDC...it is for developers.

If by “VERY soon” you mean this week - debunked.
I see the same rumors, and they’re just that - rumors. Literally 95% of what I’ve read this week is just groundless speculation. But hey, that’s the game biz.
Both these answers are in the official Playstation Blog site.
By the way...he'll put a shirt aside for you if you're going to GDC...just ask.

OMG! OMG! Geek-gasm!!!1!
John @ Feb 19th 2008 9:57PM
Thats great! Not only is it absolutely confirmed in my opinion (not that it's coming out this week, but its totally in the works), what a way to get people interested. Hilarious!
Flicky @ Feb 19th 2008 10:03PM
How about some native FLAC support too, please ?
Jove @ Feb 19th 2008 11:03PM
this is incredibly stupid, but kinda funny. id like to see people walking around wearing that!
Elsnerma @ Feb 20th 2008 7:43AM
That's pretty freaking funny.

Upon trying to think of what else I might do with in-game XMB, I just thought of something. Will I be able to use my eyetoy or my playstation eye while in games? That would be pretty sweet. Maybe they could even make a unique minimized version of chatrooms for when you're in one while playing a game. Then you could see the people you're playing with while you play against them, or talk to people while playing a single-player game.

Where are these pics from? For all I know it could have been me printing some and taking a photograph in my livingroom...
If the shirt says World Peace, will all wars end?

"Where are these pics from? For all I know it could have been me printing some and taking a photograph in my livingroom..."
Sony posted these images on the Flickr website. Read the article.
"If the shirt says World Peace, will all wars end?"
Nope. But when Sony starts making shirts that "teases" in-game XMB, do you honestly think they aren't for it themselves?
This is a good way to notice. I laughed, lol.

Sony did promise all wars would end when they first showed PS3 videos...but it was just a tech demo :( maybe by time PS4 comes out :/
I love the fashion!
Thoas @ Feb 20th 2008 4:09AM
Waiting...
ultima_omega @ Feb 20th 2008 7:43AM
LoL those shirts are funny, a little cruel though if in game XMB isn't coming soon.
Darkdrium777 @ Feb 20th 2008 7:02PM
As I said on the PS blog: I want those sold as an accessory for PlayStation. I'd buy one.
