In game video chat coming this year(rumor)

[saprano]

One of the most requested features to come with In-Game XMB was Voice Chat. However when 2.40 arrived, many people were disappointed to hear that it wouldn’t be featured with the update. Sony will deliver this addition sometime later this year, however they also hope to go one step further: In-Game Video Chat. And we’re not just talking about video chatting while you have the game paused. According to an inside source, In-Game Video Chat will enable you to video chat with a friend while actually playing your game. It will work in a similar fashion to BD-Live where there is a PiP (Picture in Picture) window in the top right corner of the screen so you can see your friend(s) while you chat with them. It’s unclear when exactly this will arrive but it should come via firmware update by the end of this year.

That would be nice. The 360 does this with voice already. I'd like to see the PS3 1-up the 360 one day in something (as online stuff goes).

Maybe it will come out when HOME shows up.

Not really that interested in this. Hopefully it can be easily turned off, because I don't really feel like having a bunch of people show me their balls

if they do it like the 360 it's very easy to mute anyone acting like an idiot...

But if your playing say a 4 on 4 match with 3 of your friends, it's really
helpful in shooter based games....Might get to be a bit much if it's a 60
player resistence 2 match though...
