'insider' says PS3 to get in-game video chat
First in-game XMB, and now in-game video chat for the PS3? That's what one site is reporting according to an 'inside source'. This upcoming feature will allow you to video talk to friends WHILE playing a game and will work in similar fashion to picture in picture methods. They say the feature is due by the end of the year.
One of the most requested features to come with In-Game XMB was Voice Chat. However when 2.40 arrived, many people were disappointed to hear that it wouldn't be featured with the update. Sony will deliver this addition sometime later this year, however they also hope to go one step further: In-Game Video Chat. And we're not just talking about video chatting while you have the game paused. According to an inside source, In-Game Video Chat will enable you to video chat with a friend while actually playing your game. It will work in a similar fashion to BD-Live where there is a PiP (Picture in Picture) window in the top right corner of the screen so you can see your friend(s) while you chat with them. It's unclear when exactly this will arrive but it should come via firmware update by the end of this year.
