While no such feature has been confirmed to exist yet, with SCEE’s James Thorpe wishing it would, it will likely end up going premium…?
”Trust me when I say that as soon as I hear from ‘up top’ I will be shouting about it and making myself the most popular person on the blog,” said Thorpe, talking of a date for cross-game chat. This is the closest thing to official confirmation ever.
It’s the latest issue of US OPM that’s stirred things up again, reports TheSixthAxis. ”Aside from the 3D goodness, cross-game party chat is the obvious “next big feature,” even though it might be restricted to paid subscribers,” read the mag - PSN subs.
It was thought to be a free firmware feature coming out last year but it never materialized. ”Sony’s current service is one of the PS3’s best features, so we’d begrudgingly welcome a revamped PSN with extra subscriber functionality, like cross-game-chat and exclusive PSN downloads,” the mag chimed in again.
Is cross-game chat something you’d enjoy? How about paying for it?
