Its a locked feature that depends on system capabilities free or not.

Ugh..

Is online play a feature of the PS3? Yes it is. Does it matter that other systems have it? No it does not.
Party Chat is an XBL feature. So is Xbox Music. So is Xbox Video. Game Room? Hey that's an XBL feature. You ever heard of Internet Explorer? Guess what? XBL feature.

Per usual, you're looking at this in a way to make it as trivial for MS as possible. "Oh, what? An XBL feature? Yeah right, you can do it on the PS Vita too!".

Well for starters, what the **** is a Vita? And secondly, why does that matter? The thread author is asking if MP was completely free, if people would still pay for other features. I would bet I could search for threads about XBLG that you have posted in and find posts where you talk about how important the Party Chat feature is to people.

It's ok. No one here is saying MS is the only ones who can provide a feature like Party Chat. We are simply saying it is a feature of XBL. It's also a feature of this Vita thing you're talking about.
