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

Im sure ppl know about the rumors of cross game voice chat comming to PS3. But come on PS3 owners dont even use headsets anyway. Isn't in game messaging just fine?

The only real reason i'm playing online alot is because i get the full ride(free internet + free PSN) But based on that, i will never pay to play online or even getting my own ISP at that.

I find all the PSN vs Live threads sad to be honest but whatever. How I see it is

XBL > PSN
cheesecake > pie
Batman > Superman

My thoughts on the subject.

I talk to ppl with headsets when we play the same game and since is quiet nobady interfares. (we also mess with ppl) :P. When in diff games I prefer messaging cause its like text messaging and you can have 3 conversations going on at once

meh it is a preference

I have and like to talk to up to seven different people playing different games or whatever at the same time in a party.

I don't think they're getting cross game chat. if im not mistaken, ps3 is getting the ability to send recorded messages.

Cross game chat isn't worth a new game a year. I will never pay for Xbox Live again. I got my PS3 and realized that for playing games PSN is equal or better in somecases (32 MP) and it's FREE like everyother console/handheld/PC. Infact the PSN store is alot easier to navigate than MS system and PSN game are better as well. I can believe I wasted over 100 bucks to play games online...it sound so ridiculous if you think about. Getting a PS3 will save me 50+ dollars a year.gypsygib

I just still wish someone would explain to me why the fact more people on XBL have headsets is a good thing. I for one get so into a game that I am not able to carry on a conversation with someone else, also I find it extremely annoying when some guy is just being super obnoxious on his mic and I would just rather enjoy the sound of explosions and gunshots over some random guy singing Hot and Cold. Is there even a multiplayer game on consoles that is so teamwork based that a mic is justified?

Yeah, most owners don't have a headset for PS3. Because they don't include them. For that hefty pricetag. Or a remote. But c'mon PSP107, I thought you call things right down the middle with a name like that. :roll:

keep an mind these people dont have to be doing the same thing, one can be watching movies, on on call of duty, 2 on halo, and one playin a demo. Its a great feature and i hope sony implements it, and build a standard mic for the ps3.

#1 If you need anything beyond standard FPS tactics/teamwork for Left4Dead, you're a total novice #2 Yes, that includes Expert.

I have no use for that feature whatsoever.

My only opposite would be pie>cheesecake, cause pie could have some different meanings to it if you catch my drift (O no he didn't!) ;).

That wont be a issue in april firmware 2.70 will make PSN the clear winner because it will have all the Live features plus a few more and most of all its FREE. 2.70 will have in game cross chat its been confirmed by Sony.djsifer01

I don't see how people CAN'T have a headset for the PS3. I got 2 Bluetooths from just buying PS3 games, one I got for my cell phone forever ago for $10, and you can use any standard USB headset. It's really not that difficult.

One word; unification

I play GTA4 and I speak to my cousin who's playing FAllout 3, that in my opinion is a very good feature no matter how you try to ignore it to make it seem worthless.

well if you own a modernish mobile you probably have a blutooth headset, so loads of PSn users sgould have one...

Its just that people dont think sometimes...

It's quite clear that XBL is becoming vastly over-priced for what it offers. When there is an equivalent service, at no cost, you really do need to up the game.

People can argue that the community is better, but that's a cop out. That isn't down to XBL, that's down to the fact that people with a 360 are more inclined to use the mics provided.

Please cows stop trying to Spin this XBL is suprior to PSN there's no two ways about, you say we dont care about features then you get them you celebrate like its the best since slice bread. Yes its Free great but if i wanted free id take public transport, drink tap water etc.yoyo462001

Actually, you need to stop spinning that it's vastly superior. It's not. In fact, there's very few features that separate them now.

The only discernible ones, with any real effect, are the party system and cross game chat. One of those which is to be added soon, apparently. Now ask yourself, in all honesty, is party system really worth a $50 price tag?
