PSN Premium

Can someone just clarify cross game chat for me?

If I was playing say MW2 and my mate was playing U2 can we talk to each other during our seperate online games? Can people who are in the multiplayer game with me hear me talking shit to my friend?

Cause if that's the case and I was in a game and someone was talking to a mate about some chick they'd banged last night or about how much noise the exhaust on their souped-up Vauxhall Corsa made it would do my fcuking head in!!!

I hope they keep it all as it is, the sole reason I bought a PS3 was the fact that it was free online gaming, no subscriptions, just play to your hearts content.

In some ways I agree with Collbreast_23 if I was to pay the PSN had to improve significantly as it's a big pile of crap at the minute & the games should come down in price too! Some of them are extortionate, even though the game's turd!

If Sony follow suit to the 360 too much then the console war would be over as the only differences would be the name on your console. The whole point of a console war is that the respective company baits gamers to buy their console…individuality is key to victory. Exclusives & a built in Blu-Ray won't do it seeing as Blu-Ray players are starting to come down in price now & exclusives are very few & far between. I mean PS3's future can't rest on the shoulders of Nate Drake, Ratchet, Snake, Kratos & Sackboy forever. Free online gaming is a BIG booster IMO, who wants to pay a broadband bill for online gaming every month & then pay AGAIN to play the bloody games, come who? Hands up people who'd like to do that. No-one whatso ever? Thought as much. I think if this goes through then Sony have well & truly lost. I won't be getting rid of my console, it'd be pointless as I'd only have to go through the same crap with the 360! 

Please note this is just my opinion so no nasty reprisals guys & gals, freedom of speech, everyone is entitled to voice their concerns.

In case you misunderstood me I meant that basic psn is free but if you want some additional features you are going to have to put down some cash.

No don't worry I understood, but I've heard other rumours too. Supposedly IGN have been on to say something about charging users for online gaming. This source came from a 360 user so I'm not holding my breath on that one, but you can never tell what the big-wigs are planning.

yeah i heard it'll be 10 bucks a month too. Its stupid, don't be money suckers like activision and microsoft sony :/

Well in any way they should keep it free

i wouldnt mind paying for extra, what i already get must stay free and i am sure it will, but i wouldnt mind getting unlimited minis, becaus ethey aer really good!

I don't mind the idea that much. the money sony earn from this may eventually mean that sony will own all game servers like microsoft does, instead of different games using totally different servers all across the world – basically better servers. It doesn't seem too expensive either – a years worth is roughly the amount of a game. If it means new stuff, then i'm all for it.
