It’s here kids, in-game XMB demonstrated on a firmware 2.40 PS3 for the first time. Yup, that’s the clock and date displayed upper-right with a quick hit of the PlayStation button. Sony also tells that the 2.40 firmware update will deliver the Google search bar (like the PSP update last week) and the ability to play and control your own music stored on the hard drive in-game. See that and more in the video after the break.

Sony’s firmware development for its game consoles is bearing fruit on two fronts today. First, the PSP firmware 4.00 network update is up and dancing for your XMB Googling pleasure. Next, and more importantly, Sony has confirmed in-game XMB and trophies in PS3 firmware 2.40 — details promised shortly. Tap tap tap… ok, not that shortly.

Sure, 2.00 might sound like a magical milestone, but in reality there’s not a whole lot here that’s going to revolutionize your gaming experience, and sadly nothing yet to bring online communication and play to parity with Xbox Live and Xbox’s handy dandy dashboard. That said, Sony is strengthening some of the PS3’s unique features, like the new Remote Start function that lets you fire up your PS3 remotely when you’re accessing it with your PSP, and playlists for music and photos. One of the biggest “additions” is DualShock 3 support, but that’s so laughably last-gen that it’s hardly worth noting. Sony is also packing in the ability to create and share your own Themes for XMB, and a news ticker that will eventually make way for the importing of your own RSS feeds. Sony also added a new XMB group to the main menu to pave the way for Home and other internets-friendly features, and — oddly enough — Canon printer support to really round out the package. The update will be available in the States tomorrow, November 8th.
Update: PS3 Fanboy has some exclusive screenshots of the new interface.
