I thick this is basically saying what you have access to with the in-game XMB, not all the new options.
I am thinking perhaps you are playing a game that doesn't disconnect your PSN and will allow background downloads to continue, but then you decide you want to take it online and so you go and pause your downloads first?
All my online games that I use pause the downloads automatically. Of course, with this feature perhaps future games will not.
Does it mean store access? If so I can already imagine using that in Rock Band. The in-game store has previews but wants you to pay for each purchase one at a time. The PSN store uses the shopping cart feature but has no preview. So, for songs that either myself or my wife are unfamiliar with (Don't get me started on my wife not knowing who The Clash or Boston are) we have to make a note of what we want from the in-game store previews and then take our "shopping list" to the PSN store.
I can think of a few instances where I have a had a great Warhawk match with someone and forgot their username by the time I exited out of the game. And the Friends Met list from Warhawk has sometimes taken a while to update. Combine that with the fact that if I switch servers a few times my new Friends Met list is quite large and I would greatly appreciate the ability to add friends in game.
As for if this should be covered by Friend Category: Clarifier? Or as it was an inside source information perhaps the person reporting was just writing every point mentioned without analyzing if it is redundant first?
I was thinking connecting my headset without exiting the game. My headset gets used for both my cell phone and PS3, so I have to switch connections when I go to use it in gaming. I can clearly recall forgetting, then trying to use my headset and accidentally voice activating my phone to call my wife, who was sitting next to me.Manage Bluetooth devices
I hope this will mean we will be able to register multiple Bluetooth devices and then simply pick which ones we want to use at any given time... as I am really tired of having to constantly re-register and pair up my Bluetooth headsets each time I switch from one to another.
Then I had to exit the game, which is extremely annoying when you are already logged in online, and go to the Bluetooth devices setting to connect it with the PS3.
Of course allowing two headsets to be paired and used at the same time would be awesome as Warhawk will splitscreen online multiplayer so you and a friend can play against others online.
I figure this will be similar to the little gamercard pictured above. Now if I can just add my own avatar.
See my comments referring to Bluetooth devices above. I believe this falls in the same category.
I think a lot of this is what we will have access to while in-game, as a more comprehensive list, not just new features.
And for the XMB categories that we have now, notice not all XMB categories are listed. You can't go play a photo slideshow or watch movies while in-game. I think having access to the Games Category means that I can jump from one game to the next without exiting to the XMB. That way if I get an invite I can save about 10 seconds (it's the little things in life...)
Are you port forwarding? And are you using a Linksys WRT54G router? My PS3 would refresh my WiFi connection on mine until I adjusted the settings.
