yes this was one of the included features in the latest firmware update. only one game supports it just now, but the option is there for other developers to use it. i wish it was included in gta4, so i could record some of the crazy stuff that happens while playing that. especially online it would be a good feature. maybe they will make a patch to include this.

but i suspect that very few games will actually use this feature, but you never know, it could be very popular
