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.

I've heard a little bit about Sony partnering with teamspeak and bringing it to the PSP Vita. I dont know how true it is because i cant find a credible source. But it's an interesting idea. If they teamed up with teamspeak and brought it to ps3, could it be done? Ive also heard that skype might be on the psp vita but since microsoft just recently bought skype for like 8b i highly doubt that.
PSP Vita will have cross game chat it is confirmed, it has 512mb of ram - twice as much as the PS3 :lol:

Also why cant they just use virtual memory? Its not like everyone has used all of the memory on the ps3 hard drive, they would only need about 512 mb at MOST, and they could do it by having a software update.

cant you read -.- The reason it isnt possible isnt because it doesnt have enough memory or the fact that its memory is in every way better than the xbox (according to you ("cough" fanboy "cough")) its the fact that the playstation was built to use RAM for the game and therefore because chat isnt built into the OS it wont work as it uses the games RAM. Just deal with it, if it was possible they would have done it. Dont try and outsmart sony because believe it or not, they're a lot smarter than you. The reason they cant do it is because to do this would involve changing the whole system because they'd have to change how the ps3 runs games and how the ps3 essentially works.
Oh and next time stop being such a typical fanboy. The second you get some bad news about the ps3 you come out with nonsense like "omg somethings wrong, how can this be? Its better than the xbox in everyway, how can the xbox have something the ps3 doesnt!?!?! (followed by head implosion).
Thank you and STFU.
