What do cows think about Sony charging for crosschat talk?

Still not understanding why this feature is so popular. :?

Just wondering if you guys are mad, I am, but I use 360 for any and all multiplats or online games. Thanks360BandW

they should have a button in xmb tht mute all chat...it's annoying to hear kids yelling and swearing in game.

Well at least we don't need to play to do anything online in game :P

Still it is unknown if it's gonna be in premium or not

Well, I find it odd that Sony would charge for a feature so many have wanted. So cross game chat is finally coming, hooray! But since it's a premium feature, chances are many people won't have it. You may want to chat with some of your friends while playing different games, but then they'll be like 'sorry man, I'm not paying for PSN so I don't have cross game chat'. As a feature many people want, I don't think it's fair to include it exclusively in the premium PSN package.

Sony should have made cross game chat a free feature, but whatever. At least online play will still be free.

It's still not confirmed yet that it's gonna be on premium or not. It's only survey that means nothing to us

I think charging for the feature is fine.

I don't neccessarly need it but if I want it then sure I'll pay for it.

I think that I didn't care about chatting before, so I'm unafected.

its smart... you can buy a game(lbp,u2,mw2) and press online and you can play free...

but if you are a guy that plays online games the most and like miultiplayer you pay for subscription to have cross-game chat(and other benefits)

if you play 2-3 maps caually every time and prefer single player etc you dont...

if its cheaper than ms its very ok...

To be crystal clear... this is not a done deal. This feature and the prospect of a subscription fee were only part of a survey. Nothing is confirmed. This is all just speculation.

If Sony does indeed decide to charge for their crossgame chat, it will show that maybe crossgame chat is very expensive to implement and MAYBE it's why MS went for a subsciption service as the base model for XBL, rather than doing it for free. As far as services go, MS has been far better at looking into the future and knowing what they want XBL to be than Sony has with PSN. It certainly will prove that to be of parity with XBL you will have to spend money after all.

Say what you want about whether you like the feature or not, the truth of the matter is that Sony has been very dodgy about cross game chat's implementation so far. The network's been up and running for at least 2 years and you mean to tell me that they couldn't have figured out how to make it work by now? Somethings up. And it's a pretty big coincidence that as soon as they get really close to saying cross game chat is available, suddenly this idea for subscription services pops up.

Better than charging for online. I'm curious as to who wants chat so bad that they'd pay for it though. [QUOTE="Shad0ki11"]

I can't stand using text chat, cross game chat is so much better, I would be glad to pay for it.

[QUOTE="yoyo462001"][QUOTE="KHAndAnime"] Same. I have a 360 and a PS3, never used the feature on the 360. But I want PS3 Premium for other reasons.KHAndAnime

If you're just playing deathmatch, I don't see why you wouldn't want to chat with your friends instead of the random rabble. It may not even be in mulitplayer games. If in single player campaign, it's good to be in touch with your friends no matter what they're doing. Of course, there are times where it's not appropriate, and everyone can use their discretion. But it's a great feature for those situations where you just want to casually yap with your buddies.

Well all we know its not a done deal yet. I just hope they dont charge for that feature.

its gonna be funny when ms drops the price of xboxlive or makes it free. just when sony launches this. even more funny when no buys this package and then sony is forced to charge for online play

Speaking of which..... was there even any mention of a party system or universal cross-game invite system? I think these are just as important, if not more so.

I wouldn't like it especially if they're playing different games.

[QUOTE="heretrix"]

[QUOTE="KHAndAnime"] I have plenty of friends that play online. I don't understand it, why would I want to be talking to friends when I should be talking to other people in the match I'm playing? Or if I wanted to talk with them, wouldn't I just play the game with them? It doesn't make sense to me. On the PC, I always play with friends with voice chat, but as soon as we're not playing the same game, we leave Ventrilo. Why? Because what's the point in talking to them if you're not even doing the same thing?KHAndAnime

Context.

If you're playing a game. And they're already on, doing something else on their consoles, I don't see anything else that more convenient that just using the cross-game chat feature.
