[Ninja Moomin]

no mention on UK / US sites?


Seems like someone didn;t get the memo?

 

[Revolutionary]

Should be free.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Bought!

 

[Grecco]

Don't people already pay for this on Live? I don't know, because i don't have an xbox.

No

 

[dallow_bg]

You can't use cross game voice chat when you have silver? This is news to me ( though I've never had silver )

No party chat without Gold.

 

[jett]

That's a dumb feature list to be honest, but what worries me are delayed/exclusive content and demos for non-paying PSN users. Sigh.

 

[MMaRsu]

Why is that the only sentence in English on the entire page?

Probably because it was copied from an english sony site/pr/document and pasted on there without any translation?

 

[Strike]

 

[JesseZao]

That part where he mentioned exclusive access to beta's (if I remember correctly) sold me. I'm in.

Yeah man! Paid demos are the future!

 

[TEJ]

.

 

[TTP]

This is not mentioned on the uk site. Only on other countries ones, in english (despite the rest of the text being written in another language).

Sounds like they pulled it out at the last minute, perhaps for offering it later or for free.

 

[Kaako]

Yea...fuck that.

 

[MMaRsu]

No party chat without Gold.

Well then.. but at least on 360 you have cross game private chat for free right?

 

[Pappasman]

this should be standard. fucking ridiculous.

 

[Beardz]

The funny thing is...

Right now playing online is free, and will remain free...

BUT

Everybody bitch because you have to pay to initiate cross game voice chat, why?!

 

[dallow_bg]

Well then.. but at least on 360 you have cross game private chat for free right?

I think so.

Is this even party chat for PS3, or just 1 on 1?

 

[Ninja Moomin]

ITS A MISTAKE

seems like it got pulled last minute and someone at SCEE didn't check their copy properly...

EDIT.... image before they take it down

EDIT 2 - lol now with the right image

 

[TTP]

We don't really know how many people you can invite to PS3 cross game chat tho.

And we need an thread title mod-fix

 

[KZObsessed]

edit: oh it's a mistake. I take back my fuck you Sony/MS... for now.

Actually no, fuck you MS anyway.

Please let it be free then.

 

[Parapraxis]

I suspect it is error, it'll be in a FW update for ALL users.
There was a LOT of negative feedback about x-game chat being a premium-only feature all over the internet.

 

[KibblesBits]

Perfectly sums up my views on this development.

And right click.

 

[Prine]

L2read. PSN+ is a premium service on top of whatever is existing. They took nothing away, its only MORE stuff.

I just got on, having to sift through Nintendo and Sony conferences right now.

 

[surly]

Probably because it was copied from an english sony site/pr/document and pasted on there without any translation?

Why wasn't it pasted into the English versions of the websites though? There's no mention of cross-game chat on the UK version of the site: -

http://uk.playstation.com/playstationplus/

 

[TTP]

Please let it be free then.

It's either that or they are adding it later to PSN+. Of course I hope for the former.

 

[Mudkips]

Is this compatible with OtherOS?

Fuck you, Sony. You'll never get me to upgrade.

Well you can say that, but who knows they didn't just delay it?

They could make it free. But they could also not.

Who knows really?

Who knows? I'm just the messenger ^^

@automatic update as a premium feature.

Uh oh. Just confirm it already Sony

 

[Withnail]

Definitely a leak, but at least we know it exists and will presumably be appearing at some point soon.

 

[BobTheFork]

Screw that. I've been in almost every beta they've done and all of it for free.

 

[Lambtron]

Thanks Sony. If my experience with the vanilla PSN was anything more than putrid, I'd consider shelling out $50/year for your premium service.

 

[Beardz]

Everybody bitch about cross game chat... but nobody says something about this:

Get your hands on at least four games a month at no extra charge.

Dear GAF, never change.

 

[TTP]

till now...

 

[Mad_Ban]

"Fuck you Sony" Etc.

Same message on the Swedish site.

REMOVED from the site.

Problem is you don't choose what to get. Sony does. Might very well be crap/old stuff.

 

[MMaRsu]

Everybody bitch about cross game chat... but nobody says something about this:



Dear GAF, never change.

You pay 50 bucks a month for 4 games you might already have and will LOSE upon canceling your subscription. There has been plenty talk about it in the PSN+ thread.

You dont get to keep those games if you cancel your sub.

There are at least four games a month that I wouldn't bother to get if they were free. Automatic download or not.

 

[LiK]

OMG, FUCK YOU SONY

50 a year...

 

[Alex]

This service just seems silly to me.

And those games aren't impressive, PSN is not some treasure trove of DLC as is, and I'm sure they'll shove largely old/dying games your way. But the least impressive is that if you drop PSN+ you lose everything.

I dunno, I guess there's a use for some folks, but I'm not interested in this. I feel like they could have done better content wise and should have just saved core additions for free updates.

 

[Cruzader]

Fail, how about improving PSN without making us pay for features it should already have

Sound what MS does for online play on 360...it should be free to begin with. The feature(X-chat) is not even that big of a deal compared to online play so I dont care its PSN only.

 

[MMaRsu]

50 a year...

Sorry that's what I meant.

 

[The Omega Man]

Sony probably saw the huge criticism about paying for this option, this feature is obviously ready to go, they just don't know how and when to release it

 

[makingmusic476]

Are they still planning to add cloud storage for saves to the service in the future? That'd make the price worth it for me.

I think cross game chat should be free, but cloud storage plus betas and stuff would be cool.

 

[soco]

i still don't see why they didn't just copy MS here.

5 years we've had cross game chat for free on the 360, i don't see why it's a premium feature here unless it's maybe massive group chat.

 

[OldJadedGamer]

you pay for this on xbox live, why would it matter if you pay for it on ps3?

No you don't. Cross game chat has been a free feature for silver members since launch almost 5 years ago.

 

[MMaRsu]

They couldn't have acted so fast. This feature JUST came up on the website about 30 minutes ago or something..
