If Cross game chat is what makes XBL better than PSN then that is sad

Real custom soundtracks please, as in seamless and working for all games at any time. And a PS2 emu for non b/c models would be nice. I don't really use PS3 chat because most of my friends play 360, and I only voice chat with people I know, so I rarely use PS3 voice. Though I wouldn't mind the feature, I mean everyone's clamoring for it and whatnot. But if you ask me, cross game chat is pretty pointless. I almost never use it on 360. Why would I want to talk to my friend who's playing COD5 online while I'm playing Fallout 3? It detracts from what you're doing in the game, especially if the game is single player oriented and if it is story driven. Though it it does have its uses, like if I wanna set up a game of Halo with my friend who's playing Gears at the moment or something.

So what is this? Multi-log in for ALL games or something? OR is it the cross-game chat or is it both? Cross-game chat or if they made the create a chat room the chat it would be good because then you'd have XBL's party system.

Me too, it would be convenient. As it is I have to have my computer on behind me playing through an amp and floor speakers. Sounds great, but it would be nice to just have that playing through my PS3. Also, being able to invite and chat at someone playing another game to invite them to mine would be nice now and then.

Currently the only game you can play music on your ps3 during is Killzone 2. What is in this update besides cross chat, anything?

I really hope this is true, but I'm not getting my hopes up. just because, it brings back memories before in game xmb came out. I remember all the rumors about that. And every time I would hear a new date for it, I would get so excited.

Do your research dude. Warhawk, Street Fighter 4 and many other PSN games feature in game music playback.

Sounds pretty good to me. Although sometimes I wish that you can press the PS button while in a message, just incase your not able to pause while in a game. Then press it again to resume what you were typing to your friends. Maybe it's just me?
