The games I play I always play with groups of people so Croos game chat itself I could care less about since I want to talk to the people I am playing with and not people playing other games. If I want to talk to my friends in passing, I will use the phone.

In reply to incredibilistic. That's why you have to set it to a Private Party.

In reply to incredibilistic. I use the voice chat when Im XBOX live quite a bit to talk with friends etc, though I will admit that the Party Chat can get very annoying if random people join and scream down the mic. But generally I feel its a good thing

You’d be surprised how much people use voice chat on LIVE. I mainly play online with friends and my girlfriend from time to time so we’re always on the headset.

On top of that, there’s a lot of idiots out there who just don’t know when to shut up – making talking to your friends in an actual game a little more difficult than it should be.

Then again, those idiots are rare in most cases.

Why is it impossible to have power off USB power ? All Mac computers have that, and Xbox has it as well, so i guess it is possible, but i dont know if it wouldnt require new hardware for PS3. Anyway, i dont really care about this voice-chat thing. What i would vote for is PS2 emulation…actually this is one of the biggest PS3 values that was taken away from it…i just hope it will come back some day.

I would like to know what the actual usage numbers are for 360 owners that have cross-game chat. Are a majority of people actually using it or is everyone clamoring for something they probably won’t use anyway?

I love the Kevin Butler idea. That would be awesome and since neither MS or Nintendo have anyone close to Kevin’s popularity it would be huge for Sony to interject some humor into their presentation rather than having Steve Tretton up there sweating buckets and sounding like a robot as he navigates the teleprompter.

At the very least he could MC the event and bring out Steve, Kaz and others but he should definitely be a part of the show.

Don’t think in-game music for ALL titles will happen since it’s more up to the developer to allow that. I like the Skype support with the PS Eye. That would be nice.

You can forget about getting power through the USB while the system is off. Not even a desktop computer can do that.

The PS2 thing would be nice too as would the universal party system or some sort of party system. Basically Sony needs to emulate XBL more but there’s that pesky elephant in the room. In other words, will gamers actually be willing to pay for it?
