In-game XMB works great, but in-movie XMB? Not so much . . .

The 2.40 (I mean, 2.41) PS3 Firmware Update which added trophies and in-game XMB access has been working swell.  Sure, the games I own do not support trophies yet, but it is good to know it is there (I guess).  In-game XMB access has been very helpful.  Unfortunately, there is no XMB access while watching a dvd or bluray disc.  I spend a good 50% of the time using my PS3 for dvds/bluray watching, so I find this disappointing.  The 360 lets you access the Guide regardless of what you are doing, so I was hoping for the same functionality from this firmware update.
 
It is still a step in the right direction, I am just saying . . .
