Sony Computer Entertainment UK boss Ray Maguire has confirmed extra in-game XMB functionality for the PlayStation 3 will arrive in a matter of months.

A forthcoming firmware update for the PS3 will introduce new features to the cross media bar, including in-game messaging.

"Achieving one million PS3 sales faster than both PSOne and PlayStation 2 is even more gratifying considering PS3 is a premium product introduced at a premium price", he told gaming site MCV.

"Our momentum will continue with the introduction of in-game communication in the summer, firmware update 2.4 and the strongest line-up of games through our third party partners and our own studios."
