Do you really want cross-game chat?

As a previouse xbox owner im saying no because your friends will always want to talk to you while your online, than you will never enjoy a singleplayer game again. And I hate it when my friends got into fights and then they muted each other leaving be to hear them complain about eachother and keep up with 2 different conversations. My video game experience has been better since I got rid of this feature

I also find that you will stop talking strategy for games.

I don't give a damn about it. I prefer my gaming sessions silent, offline and online.

That's why Live has an option to appear offline, yet another feature PSN should have by now. If you find yourself in a place where you don't want to be, just leave the party and switch your status to 'offline.'

Problem solved.

Any Sony fanboy will preach "lolz wat i dont need no cross gem chet i hav chet rumz jajajaja" because they're always willing to settle for ****-tier as long as it's free. I've yet to see a legitimate reason as to why the PS3 shouldn't have cross game chat by now, or some kind of party system at least.

I know but all my friends figured out I was doing this. It was just an annoying experience. Depends on who you pllay with really.

That's also true - different experiences for different people. I'm opposite of you, I've been with Sony since 2007. I bought the other console about 4 months ago and I'm having more fun with it than I ever did with my PS3.

Not only that, but the online service isn't eating ****.

And regardless of features and all that crap, it's the games that matter. I didn't buy my PS3 to watch blu-ray, free online or whatever, I bought it to play the games I can't get anywhere else.

I think it is an excellent feature to at least have to offer. It won't appeal to everyone. I think it is stupid and I won't use it, but it will still appeal to others and would be a good move on Sony's part. I think a party system similar to Live would also be a great addition.nightshade869

Its great for playing matches online and great for talking to friends who are playing other games. It fixes the problem where you have to leave the game where you can simply enable it in game. And to the people that don't like the feature just simply dont use it.

I don't care... great if it's an option, but it won't change a thing for me.

I don't really care about it, but there are times I wish I had it. Those are rare. I wouldn't be in a chat room all the time if we did have it either.

I don't really care to be honest. I wouldn't say no if it was to make an appearance.

Don't care at all.

No, or in Spanish: no.

I don't give a damn

:P I feel the same...I would much rather have BGM and voice messaging

I don't know. I liked being able to talk to friends on XBL while in other games, but as some one else said it takes away from the game you're playing. It was annoying as hell when I'd be playing a GTA4, RDR, or Halo and I'd get a party invite. Hated that ****. If I wanted to talk to them all of the time, they would have had my phone number or be playing the same game I was, and be in our group.

This was my major issue too. You all forget that even if your online you still you have to go buisy sl really the only way to get an un interupted single player campain is to completletly disconect your system from the internet. Some people are. Its even worse when your watching a movie. Its not bad if you are all playing the same game or are playing games that dont require alot of consentration. Its good sometimes but not always. People can also cheat in elimination game types. Gametypes were you dont respon and arnt suppose to be in communication with another player alive after you have died

I doesn't bother me at all. I wouldn't make use of it even if it was available.

Yes. Only the anti-social people don't want it. I use Skype and using my AX Pros, I found a way to cross chat with my friends. It actually works quite well too.

no...Sony better remove support for the 3rd parties headset after PSN resume. Those crappy headset makes all online competitive games on PSN very noise.

Not really. I'm probably only going to use it when I want to chat with a friend that I've known for years, but I could always use my cell for that.

Im not antisocial but I dont need to be constantly talking to my friends. What starts to happen is you will stop hanging out with them because you play video games with them every evening. Believe me it can get that extreme.

I think its a good thing, tho i dont care much for it, if your friends are fighting over PS3 chances care they are not real friends anyway so just leave...simple really

It wasnt my choice. Im just sayen i use to go to my friends house to play video games but now we just play online. There is a difference between cellphones and cross-game chat. It honestly depends on your personality, but im a buisy person and I have alot of buisy friends because we all have lives. Xbox used to be the only freetime we had when we had freetime. But then you have to start hanging out with your good friends friend your not to happy with. Everyone has a diferent personality and i like to chat but I hate it when you get in a party with 2 people fighting, people that wont stop complaining, people that constanttly make fun of you. Videogames for me is a relax time. So this pisses me off. Cross game chat worked great for me for 2 years but twards the end i was just kind of sick of it. Its just my opinion and thats how it worked out for me. Im happy it works for you. But you will eventually end up in a party with a few people you dont like or someone in the party wont like someone else in there.

yes

Don't care. Never got into chatting on consoles. That's what my cellphone is for, and even that is a "highschooley" thing.

yeah i dont even chat on my cell phone. It's realy there for things like work, school and information. I text my friends every now and then but Im not one of those people text all day long with everyone in the school.
