Ever since the Xbox 360 introduced cross-game chat to its Xbox Live users, enabling them to party up with and chat with players in other games, PlayStation 3 fans have wondered when Sony would implement such a feature on the PSN. As it turns out, the reason we've been waiting so long for this feature, is because the PS3 simply cannot do it. There are memory restrictions in place that would make it impossible Shuhei Yoshida said.

A RAM usage feature of the console prevents a cross-game chat feature, Yoshida You must login or register to view this content..

Quote: "Once a game gets RAM we never give it back," he said. "It's not possible to retrofit something like that after the fact...The game has to use its own memory to do in-game voice chat. There's always voice chat in the game. But it's part of a game feature. It's not part of an OS feature. That's the reason in terms of the ability to have voice chat across different games."

So what do you have to say about this? Leave some feedback and your opinion's in a post below! Hopefully they will bring this feature into the Ps4 though.

As bot a PS3 and and Xbox 360 gamer I know the pros and cons of each console... However, i do think PSN should have added a cross game chat feature.... would have made things more fun

Do we really need this? No because thats what phones are for and if you playing another game why the hel would you want to talk to them any ways?

I've never really been bothered by the PS3 not having XGC. If I want to talk to my friends whilst they are playing a different game/console I use Skype.

Then the people with slims would be the only people with cross game chat.

Would you rather have that, or nothing at all.
