Isn't that what drives progress?

Yeah, I guess you know what I mean. If not, I can't change it. Whatever. It's just not nice to come in this tread and start making jokes about everyone who likes this feature. I have my reasons and I think it's pretty awesome to have three chatrooms always filled with nice guys from my message boards when I fire up my PS3.
I'm just curious, but when/if voice chat and cross game invites are added to the PSN, then what will the whiners whine about next? It seems like it's the cool thing to do to bitch about something Sony is doing wrong. For example, it first started that the PS3 was priced too high, then it quickly went to the PS3 has zero games, then it went to the PSN sucks! and now it's a full circle back to the PS3 is priced too high... meanwhile there is an argument that the wii is overpriced since Nintendo is making a nice profit on each system and not to mention the RROD problem with the 360, price gouging of it's wireless NIC adapters/HDDs... But that's not the cool thing to do I guess.

You're complaining about people making jokes and at the same time calling the people who disagree with you 'whiners'? :lol
All the crap that TTP listed basically and a lot that Im sure he missed (because I still dont know what this thing is capable of quite honestly).Aselith said:
Yes. And Im just wondering WILL that actually happen or will XBL users somehow find a way to continue bitching.gregor7777 said:

I don't think there's too many Live-only users here. Most of us own the PS3 and want it to improve.
Im constantly surprised that people are surprised. MS is a software company. Thats what they do. Its hardware theyre no good at. Its sad waiting for my 360 to die. I know its gonna happen soon too. Its the wait that hurts the most and knowing that itll probably happen when Bioshock or Mass Effect comes out.Fersis said:

They probably will not complain as much about the laundry list as they will just say "Why am I paying a subscription fee for this shit?"Aselith said:

and that is what they do with every new fw. I also would like to have a web browser on my 360 but i did not see it appear in the atest update, or i find it much more useful than all that avatar thing. But things are just like they are, and i see more likely to have voice chat on ps3 than explorer on 360. Even DSi has one.

ah ok, fair enough. Had an account on my college roommate's x-box, and had planned on getting a 360... but decided not to. Too lazy to take it down

of course they do, thats the whole point of it... I am answering to chubingans who thinks things are set it stone, they are not. Changes are simply not retroactive.
Maybe its because I am european, but I didnt use voice chat ever on PSN or Skype, while i use IM 18 hours every day.
The feature per footprint argument is reasonable though..
However, the PS3 situation has been improving there. I don't know what the latest situation is, but the features have been going up and the memory cost down.
There are features PS3's in-game XMB could do with borrowing from 360's mini-blade (like x-game voice chat, and invites perhaps). I'd also say party management, but I'm not sure if the existing 'PSN IRC' + perhaps invites, would render that a bit redundant as a seperate feature.. as is you can now form a group that the system remembers you're a part of across games..invites would make it easy then to pull people in that group into games together automagically.
Music..I think the in-game XMB accomodates that now? But devs have to allow it in their game? I thought it was initially said the in-game XMB now carries the memory cost of that (i.e. at no cost to the developer), but I'm not sure if that was confirmed or not..
Conversely, I think there's a couple of ideas the mini-blade could borrow from the in-game XMB..like 'game hopping' and now (yes) the IRC style chatrooms. I've also found the in-game XMB to be more responsive, but people seem to report varying degrees of lag with the mini-blades so..
In terms of which is 'more impressive' or whatever..I think 8-way voice chat is probably the more difficult thing to accomplish (vs say, the IRC style stuff), and probably was the most difficult aspect for MS even when making the in-game OS, so I'd give the mini-blades the nod there for that.

Actually if there's something TTP's post proved is that there are actually more features on PSN. It just depends on what you prefer. And btw how do you know how much RAM each console uses currently?

Damn, I'm really fall in love with this text chat, so thank god it isn't voice chat. (being Deaf, so voice is totally useless). There could be more improvement but voice, you can't improve their voices..
I think I will arrange Text Chat Defense Force seriously. Like make sure Sony going to improve the chat in the future, and ensure that they didn't work on voice.
Voice only fanboys, BACK OFF VOICEBOT!!!!! If touch my keyboard again, I will seriously kill you.
