http://news.softpedia.com/news/No-More-Voice-Chat-for-PlayStation-Home-100477.shtml Now that Home is back up again, users will notice that they can no longer use voice chat services to talk to other players present in Home. Sony says that the feature has been "temporarily suspended." No clear reason has been provided for the move by the company but one can speculate that either a hardware issue needs to be fixed or some gamers have used the voice chat to transmit messages that Sony deems unacceptable, like insults. Sony doesn't say when the feature is turned on again but any news will be delivered to PS3 users in due time. Meanwhile, the Wireless Keypad and the Bluetooth enabled keyboard can be used to communicate within PlayStation Home. My thoughts: Somewhat bad news, especially for users like myself who don't have a wireless keyboard. Hopefully the feature will come out of suspension in the near future. The thing that bugs me about it is that I can't see how they are planning on fixing the issue. If voice chat exists, then stopping insults sounds impossible. Thoughts?
