It makes me sad so many people don't care for cross-game chat. There are some features on XBL and PSN people use and some people don't use like Netflix, HOME, ESPN, Hulu, etc, but cross-game chat is one of those features everyone, I mean EVERYONE uses. I don't know a single person on XBL that doesn't use cross-game chat or doesn't like it because it's just one of those features that have just makes XBL so damn good. The people that say they don't care for cross-game chat and either liars or have never used the feature before so they don't know how awesome it really is.

Good, maybe you can give me an example of how you typically use it.  I only have a PS3, and I hear tons about Cross-Game Chat, but I still fail to understand how its typically used.  You sign into XBL, you boot up a game of skate 3.  You jump in a channel in which a few of your XBL friends are on and playing other games?  I make a comment like that was a sick line, another friend shoots someone in the head on COD, and the third is playing an RPG that has no multiplayer at all and he just casted wizards breath.

 

So if this is true, you cant really talk about the game.. you just talk about school or homework or who is the biggest dousche on Jersey Shore?  If this is the typical application, then I could serihttp://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/reply.php?id=133028&quote=4187046ously care less.

 

What does sound applicable to me would be if Im online playing skate and my friend wants me to join his game of COD, he chats me up to tell me to join his game blah blah.. then we go do that and chat inside game.  Similar to a join game request, just done in a 30 second conversation?

 

Basically it works like this. You turn on your Xbox. While your sitting at the dashboard you decide to play a game of Battlefield, COD, watch a Netflix, etc. or just want to talk to a friend.  You send your friend(s) an invitation to a Party chat,Up to 8 people can join the Party and there you go. It's extremely simple, but very useful.

I use party chat 95% of the time when I turn on my Xbox and I think most people would agree that they would rather get in a party chat and talk to some friends while playing a game that listen to some annoying kids.
