Hello

Are this guys serious? We are in the XI century, the year is 2009, and they added TEXT CHAT?

"We proudly want to announce that you can text chat with up to 15 people!" - WTF??!?!??!???!

Are they serious? Do they know the concurrence this days? LIVE, PC programs, OnLive, cell phones....

Sony should dismiss all their PS3 director genious.....

"Text chat for 15! YES! Now we are getting back in the race!"

Is this serious?

Or at least cross game private chat!

I rarely use a mic anyway so I don't really care. I have a usb connector for my keyboard now if I really need it.

Same goes for the PC. I don't even remember the last time I plugged in my mic to play a PC game. Sometimes I'll use a mic on Skype, but I still type a lot of messages there too.

Anyway, one step closer to in-game/cross game voice chat I guess.

I hope so, but to be honest I don't believe in it.

Servers to support that cost money, the PSN service is free, so.....

Then I'm okay with that as long as it's free and I can use the features and play games online. I'd rather not have to pay for voice chat if I'm not going to use it.

@Paladin, check-mate

But I prefer to pay and have a great online service (opinions).

yea live doesnt have that feature because its useless the only purpose it serves is during clan matches

Its like a chatroom. Whats so bad about having a chatroom?

Im guessing the next update will see 15 people in voice chat.

No, it doesn't.  Unless you have one of those weird chat pads for the 360 controller, this would be unbearable.  The PS3 at least has keyboard support.  But there really is no need for this to be cross game.

I agree.  Maybe they are trying to iron out some cross game messaging bugs.
