Sony: PSN Is 'A Lot More Egalitarian' than Xbox Live

To this day, the thing that still irks me most about the PSN is the lack of an included microphone. There are still too many silent gamers online.

Other than that, Sony has done a hell of a job improving the service... but I'll never, EVER understand the point of Home.

That's not a problem with PSN, but with Sony not including it with a purchase of a PS3.

I think it's good. Not everybody is into multiplayer and therefore needs a mike.

That's like saying Sony should have saved money and not included wireless in the console... after all, not everyone wants to go online.

The more peripherals included in a console purchase, the higher likelyhood of their use. To round out their "online experience" that they wanted to push so much, a microphone should have come with the console. After all, isn't their tagline "It does everything."?

I would also like to add Sony included everything else in the console why not add a cheap $5 mic?
