im sorry but that ram is used in a very different way have u seen the statistics for the memory bandwith? the xbox 360's ram is also shared with the gpu unlike the ps3.... the ram is still better in the ps3...

Xbox 360 - 512 MB GDDR3 RAM (700 MHz), shared with GPU - memory bandwidth = 22.4 GBps

Ps3 - 256 MB XDR RAM (3.2GHz) - memory bandwidth = 25.6 GBps

seriously do some research, the ps3 can handle alot more than the xbox fanboys think... you should know that... we have games where we are able to listen to our own custom soundtracks etc, the reason we dont have cross game chat is because microsoft holds patents to the party system which includes party chat... sony have to think of a new strategy instead of the party chat system...... jeeeeez your on the internet but you dont know how to research

Oh look the 360 has more ram. The patents are a lie by the way.

RAM it takes to do voice coms very little
You can do it on PC using very little hardware so i don't see why consoles would be any different
Super tiny number am sure is spare.

Reason we are not getting it simple
Sony is from asia they don't have a massive online following like we have in the west. It quite telling that PSN was released with very little gaming features sony never planned for PSN to be gaming service like xbox. Just content.

For this reason alot of things was not forced on devs like a standard bitrate for voice coms. It depends on the dev. Along with them being forced to use the PSN store to push updates.
EA games use there own servers for updates unlike COD which is direct from sony own update servers.
Along with the fact who pays due to PSN structure the devs do but which dev going to take on the cost of cross game chat ?

Devs unlikely to pay and with PSN being free i doubt people would pay for cross game chat.
PSN a good example of a company planning a product then changing it. Some things it too late to add without costing sony alot of money to run a VOIP network.

ya, i guess. with psn being free, it would cost them even more $$ to run a voip network, losing more money.

well, this is what we freebies get lol
