The US PlayStation Website was updated over the weekend sporting a new look. Among the changes, some interesting information was added to the list of features for the PlayStation 3: Cross-Game Voice Chat. Reading up on the In-Game XMB features, the Friends section states “Talking with friends or other players in the middle of a game is easy. Chat by text or use your headset to voice chat.”
Does this mean that cross-game voice chat is on the way or is Sony falsely marketing the features of the PS3? The same page on the website has the following disclaimer: “Only some XMB™ features can be used during game-play.”
This is very cool feature. Though rumour has it new features like these could be charged for.
Ive been able to do this stuff ages?
