If PC running Skype is a good substitute for cross-game console voice chat, PC running IRC makes cross-game console text chat unnecessary.
In reality, neither is that good of a substitute compared to having something implemented on the console.

The text chat is awesome.
Being in a chat room and having the chats displayed as messages is pretty cool. Can get overwhelmed quickly I'm sure, though.
The character limit BLOWS.
The censoring BLOWS.
If you join a chat, turn off the system and come back you'll still be in that chat. That's kinda cool. I guess you stay in it til it's deleted or you leave.
Oh, if someone has a keyboard or keypad it'll very quickly make you want to plug in a keyboard heh. I hate trying to get my words out using a game controller.
This shit needs a PC client, too.

Yea, fun stuff. I'm now trying shows I never watched, like Hell's Kitchen. SF4 should be a lot better with groups now. People can probably set up tournaments via the chat. Sure people could get a laptop, or run to their pc to view irc, but my pc is like 10ft away. For me it's one or the other. I used to do it with aim (running back and forward) but now I don't need to. Glad.

Also, when you pick the full screen option it doesn't fill the screen, it's windowboxed.Norml said:
I'm really disappointed, GDC was a few days ago I expected some megaton update, I mean text chat really, I hope its just a foundation for a more meaningful update.
anyways I'm thankful for any improvements but Sony please kick it up a notch.
edit: at least trophies and trophy comparison don't take all day long to load also I like how if you or your friend didn't play a certain game it will show "----" rather than 0%.

I just got the headset, I still don't know how to turn off this thing, it just keeps flashing green until a couple minutes after I turn off the ps3.

:O thanks, and how do I know it finished charging? when the red light is full or when it's blinking?

You know what I wanna see on the next FW update, besides what people are begging (x game invite/chat, Music/comic store, PS2 BC)?
- Background downloading while watching a blu ray movie
- Install game while downloading
- User rating system on the PSN store. What I mean is you can rate based on a 5 or 10 star system every game/movie/tv show you purchased/rented, maybe they could even let you write a 2 line comment on it. I think that would be useful.
Any 1 of those 3 will be good for me.

how does that work? You just flicking between browser windows and popping the chat up every now and then?
Does the XMB notify you when someone replies to a chat? That'd be good if you're at least in the XMB (browser, music etc). Even better with a brief bit of the message so you can see whether to go and reply (like an email popup notification on a computer)
Quickly updated, but didn't have time to really check anything out..but..
The character limit makes reasonable sense given that the conversation is popped up in in-game overlays? Seems like how much they can fit in an overlay (without making the overlay distractingly big) is the limiting factor there..
If in multiple chatrooms, do the overlays indicate anything about which chatroom its referring to?
This is more of a suggestion also than a question..but..I guess chatrooms aren't persistent when you log off and then log on? And also, what happens if the person who created the room logs off? Does everyone get kicked? If so..I think ownership should pass to someone else in the room..and also, if chatrooms could persist across log on/log off, it might be handy..to have a chatroom you're automatically logged into when you switch on your machine.
On a different note, I was thinking it would maybe be cool for Sony to come up with a kind of 'url' system for linking into games..so you could link to a specific part of a game or a multiplayer session within a game from text chat..or even from websites so you can link into games directly for users on the ps3 browser. That idea is kind of motivated by a desire to increase 'linkability' of LBP levels, but I'm sure people would find uses for such a system well beyond that..

Figured I'd ask here, since it's somewhat connected to the text chat:
Right now, here in Sweden only the English layout Sony Bluetooth Keyboard is sold. Does anyone know if and when localized versions of the keyboard will be released? I'm thinking of buying the keyboard, but I'm a bit reluctant at the moment since I'd rather want a Swedish localization on it.

If your notifications are set to 'on' - each chatroom comment shows up on screen like the subject of a regular XMB message. If you're in multiple rooms it doesn't seem to diferentiat which room the comment is coming from in the overlay. The rooms do stay active when the orignal creator leaves and it's easy to rejoin even if you reboot (as long as you didn't 'delete' the chat room - 'leaving' it is fine and keeps the link active).
