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.

People who say they only ever need to chat when they're in a game with someone doesnt understand the benefits of being able to contact your friends to find out why you can't join their game, if the lobby is full for example, without them having to quit or write messages back and forth. Why cant they add more RAM? They beef up the hdd from 40 to 320 why not beef up the ram?

Why? I'm sure it would take just as long to initiate a chat with someone as it would take for them to text you "Full".

And why would you want to have to hold a phone with your head against your shoulder while playing a video game or pay for phone fees when chatting on the Xbox is free/cheaper and not restricted to just one or two people?
I think you just want to try to downplay the fact that the Xbox has something that the PS3 doesn't. :dumb:
inb4 Xbox 360 fanboy, I have a PS3.
