PS3 May Get Cross-Game Chat With Next Firmware Update

By Rosa Golijan on October 15, 2009 at 11:43 AM

Bedlam in the official Playstation forums: Someone slipped up and accidentally confirmed that cross-game chat may be coming in the next Playstation 3 firmware update. The post was quickly deleted, which forumgoers are taking as evidence of the slip’s truth.

Cross-game text chat has been around since April, but voice chat has so far been a no-show. Kotaku writes that they tried to contact Sony for a truly official response, but only received a curt reply:

As you know, we haven’t made any announcements on upcoming firmware and don’t comment on rumour or speculation.

It’s quite possible that the next firmware update will in fact bring cross-game chat, but I think we’re getting a bit too excited over a forum post. [Playstation Forums via Kotaku]

      PlayTV is available from the UK…at our current exchange rate its half the price it will be here. Yeah I would love the firmware upgrade but it still works pretty well.
