Also, it's not like it would keep the XMB cached in ram all the time, that would be INCREDIBLY inefficient, and not needed. It would only be having things in ram like the current music track playing, it's not going to keep images and all that nonsense cached, it will be a per-demand method.Shaun Reich (sreich)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07580473525644726934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999761940066387445.post-29389858970035085112008-01-29T18:49:00.000-08:002008-01-29T18:49:00.000-08:00Go to these two links for my in game xmb design: P...Go to these two links for my in game xmb design: <BR/><BR/>Part 1: http://community.eu.playstation.com/showthread.php?t=200545<BR/>Part 2: http://community.eu.playstation.com/showthread.php?t=200545Boffin92https://www.blogger.com/profile/18189429537883450279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999761940066387445.post-29330748409678940142008-01-29T10:47:00.000-08:002008-01-29T10:47:00.000-08:00Thanks for that maxx doubt, i did not know you cou...Thanks for that maxx doubt, i did not know you could get to achievements that way. Maybe i am the only one who didn't know that, i don't know.<BR/><BR/>I am not new to the 360, i have had one since launch in the UK. My gamer tag is "Horza Gobuchul," you can look me up and confirm how long I have been using the 360 for. I stated playing Kameo as it was the game which came with my 360. You should be able to check the date there of my first achievement, i believe it is 01/01/2006. Doing that should also prove that I have a 360.

Seems weird that you would be the one to write articles about it though<BR/><BR/>You do not need to hit the xbox button while acheivements are being displayed to access them. In fact it's about the easiest thing there is to do. <BR/><BR/><BR/>From any game (or whenever) you hit the xbopx button to bring up the side blade. Then you press A to go to your profile, then A to look at your games , then A again to look at acheivements for that particular game (sorted by most recent). <BR/><BR/>To sum up....<BR/><BR/>Hit xbox button then the A button 2 or 3 times. <BR/><BR/><BR/>That's painfully easy. You probably don't even have a 360 if you haven't figured that one out.Maxx Doubthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06799970980361628372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999761940066387445.post-67633688416895133092008-01-29T08:44:00.000-08:002008-01-29T08:44:00.000-08:00I guess it was just ignorance on the author's part...I guess it was just ignorance on the author's part, but you can access your Achievements list from the 360 in-game dashboard.

If you don't believe me go to some news 4 gamers threads about the subject and see just how many people are actually asking for full xmb without realising what this might mean. In your post you mostly seem to be agreeing with what i say yet you say this is a terrible article?<BR/><BR/>Maxx doubt<BR/><BR/>The point you make about music from portable devices such as usb sticks, ipods etc is correct, i didn't list them all there, i didn't think i needed to.<BR/>The second point about achievements is correct, i was wrong in what I said, you can access the achievements list in game. I think the only way to do this is to press the guide button when you actually get an achievement and then you can see the list. You can't seem to get there from the minidash/guide. That is what threw me when writing the article as i was examining the guide and could not see a way to get to the achievements. As you rightly put it though the article is wrong.Horza Gobuchulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13783924310265217848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999761940066387445.post-59182004574546791832008-01-28T23:23:00.000-08:002008-01-28T23:23:00.000-08:00All I really care about to have the ability to pla...All I really care about to have the ability to play my own music during gameplay because ( and I mean no offense to game makers ) some sound tracks are just plain annoying.Seetonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12251384339864868125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999761940066387445.post-8351454404964055572008-01-28T21:04:00.000-08:002008-01-28T21:04:00.000-08:00Actually,......There was a few errors/omissions in...Actually,......<BR/><BR/>There was a few errors/omissions in this article. <BR/><BR/>"Finally there is the music controller which allows access to music stored on the hard drive.

Like what other Devs have said who have actually learned to understand the PS3 (Lookin at you Insomniac <3, NOT you EA >:-( ) that there is so much more potential ahead for PS3 development. If games are all ready pushing the barriers, then why hasn't anybody spoken up about it? cause they haven't gotten to the peak yet.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08364492516739271582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999761940066387445.post-56632929485931443252008-01-28T17:49:00.000-08:002008-01-28T17:49:00.000-08:00I agree with the poster.

The PS3 will lose valuable hardware resources to continually run the PS3's OS during gameplay. <BR/><BR/>Unless I am mistaken, Sony has 1 SPU dedicated to the XMB. But, the XMB basically shuts off during gameplay to dedicate ALL resources to try to provide the best gaming experience.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15681171747796518537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999761940066387445.post-22323360728676275992008-01-28T17:46:00.000-08:002008-01-28T17:46:00.000-08:00You honestly believe that Sony will add the full X...You honestly believe that Sony will add the full XMB? This article's BS. Their not going to have the Users, Settings, Photo, Video Network, or PSN icon on it. (Here let me watch my divix copy of Superbad while blasting away Chimera... like that would happen, yet very cool) I'm sure it will be just like what you said about the 360's mini-dash board. Mini-XMB. It will probably be just Music, so you can play custom music, Friends, send/receive messages and chat, and Game where you can quit the game, change controllers, and turn off the system. Just because everybody says we want XMB doesn't mean Sony is going to say, oh ok. Here's the whole XMB lock, stock, and barrel. Terrible article.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08364492516739271582noreply@blogger.com
