Ever since the Xbox 360 introduced cross-game chat to its Xbox Live users, enabling them to party up with and chat with players in other games, PlayStation 3 fans have wondered when Sony would implement such a feature on the PSN. As it turns out, the reason we've been waiting so long for this feature, is because the PS3 simply cannot do it. There are memory restrictions in place that would make it impossible Shuhei Yoshida said.

A RAM usage feature of the console prevents a cross-game chat feature, Yoshida You must login or register to view this content..

Quote: "Once a game gets RAM we never give it back," he said. "It's not possible to retrofit something like that after the fact...The game has to use its own memory to do in-game voice chat. There's always voice chat in the game. But it's part of a game feature. It's not part of an OS feature. That's the reason in terms of the ability to have voice chat across different games."

So what do you have to say about this? Leave some feedback and your opinion's in a post below! Hopefully they will bring this feature into the Ps4 though.

WELL why didnt they increase the RAM before they released the PS3 slim ? ? make the ps3 slim have an increase of ram and let the consumers know why- because we all want cross game chat.

Well.. It doesn't really matter to me frankly, I can already talk to people online on games when I'm playing them, and that's more then enough considering PS3 didn't even have online microphone chat capabilities before hand.

Anyway, the PSVita is going to have XGameChat and a Party System, and that's more then enough to make me happy Happy
