Clear said:I'm thinking that Sony maybe are holding off to see what kind of uptake PSN+ has, before deciding whether XG chat should be free or not.
If PSN+ uptake is slow, it would be a quick and easy fix to improve their value proposition.

How are you not figuring this out :lol :lol

I got friends from GAF and from other countries.. I dont have Skype and I dont have a headset for my laptop.
If I had silver I would still like to talk to my buddies from other countries while playing games.. who cares if I'm not playing a game online while I'm talking to my friends?
fortified_concept said:So you're talking about the slim possibility of someone who doesn't have a 5$ headset? Skype is free btw, you just download it from the official site. It's a 2MB download iirc.
magicaltrevor said:It's not very convenient when your computer isn't near your PS3, now is it? And asside from that, it would require your PSN friends to have Skype as well, which of course not everyone has...
It would be a great feature to have, and everyone thas has used it on Xbox Live knows exactly what I'm talking about.

The current features of PlayStation Plus are those listed in my post above Games & special offers, full game trial and automatic downloads. We understand that many of you are asking for a cross-game chat feature, we said during our presentation that the service will evolve over time but I cant guarantee anything at this time.
magicaltrevor said:Concerning Cross-game Voice Chat; James Thorpe replied to a comment on the EU.Blog:
WTF? They're really vague about this, eventhough lots of people confronted them with the fact that it originally got listed on several official EU PlayStation-websites.
It seems we're not getting the feature anytime soon =(

davepoobond said:yeah, someone said pretty much what i thought on the issue. Just because the feature is there in xbox live doesnt mean you get its full worth without paying for xbox live gold. cross-game chatting offline games while you're online with silver is very situational and almost never happens. Essentially you do pay for cross-game chat, because the only logical reason to use it is while playing online games. i dont even know about the party chat thing, whether or not you need gold for that or not.
