[WeApOn]

Found this picture directly from Evilempire, the guy who posted it. Not entirely sure if it's credible.. but if I find anything out I'll post back.

Yeah, there's a rumor on the playstation forum on this, that it will be the 1.9 update, but no true conformation yet.

[dillycheeze]

sweet!

[Shin-Ra]

Even though something like this would be easy to fake, rarely do you actually see it done this well so I think this may be genuine.

I'd be happy if I could keep the music playing while browing photos.

[dillycheeze]

yeah...or the internet....or even system settings....always been annoying

[Croweyes1121]

Hmm...I've always been able to play music while browsing the internet or looking at pictures. That's strange. I wonder what I'm doing that you guys aren't.

As Shin-ra said, just hit the PS button when in any of those things, and it will throw you back to the XMB. I hope this is how in-game XMB will work someday .

One thing that worries me is the volume level. Looks like you can only choose a song from there... and not have any control over the volume? That would be a real pain trying to find a comfortable volume where you can hear your music and game.

ps- thanks for the pic resize

[supersix4]

I'd imagine you'd get a whole new page of options once you choose 'Select Music'.

that would certainly be nice. they haven't half-assedly done anything in regards to firmware updates so far, so i'd agree with you on that

You can, while the music's playing hit the 'PS' button and you can navigate the XMB and open photos, in slideshow views if you wish.

[BLu-Balls]

That would be pretty sweet

Dang, see, I learned something new today. That PS button is a magical thing. I relly need to try it more often. I kept getting up to turn off the system if it was in the menu instead of holding the PS button down...

[Jaren613]

Please let this be true.
