According to an inside source at VG247.com (linked above), the PlayStation 3 will be getting cross-title voice chat next month included in a PS3 Firmware 3.10 update.

No further details are available yet, but to quote from the source:

"A VG247 source said today that Sony has informed developers of plans to incorporate cross-title voice chat in PS3 play by the end of October.

The feature will be added in Firmware update 3.10, we were told.

Cross-title chat is consistently one of the most asked-for features on PS3 – looks like Sony’s ready to deliver."

Indeed, although I consider VG247 to be a lot more credible (they actually attend and are among the first to publish all the E3/GamesCom/TGS etc event news) than some of the past sites who reported the rumor... so here's to hoping, eh? :wacky:

Didn't Sony say that there weren't going to be any new firmware updates for the rest of the year?

I don't really believe this will happen. If it does, it would be nice but I'm not getting my hopes up.

well this could just be a patch and to shut us up give us the voice chat in the process.

@broy4686 I think Sony said that there won't be any major update this year, but 3.10 sounds like something minor.

Maybe they try to calm down all the guys that have to wait again for GT5 until next March (like me).

Let's just hope that another "mystery publisher" doesn't get pissy and stops this from happening again ¬_¬.

No, Sony said there weren't going to be any major firmware updates for the rest of the year.

it seems within each firmware version that gets released on the PS3, there's always someone saying that cross game chat will be included. i don't believe this rumor and everyone shouldn't get there hopes up. cross chat will come eventually, but i don't see it coming soon.

Not that it makes it any more true, but this is the latest on the rumor: http://www.thesixthaxis.com/2009/09/25/firmware-3-10-coming-soon/

This morning we picked up on a story from VG247 suggesting cross-game chat would appear in the next firmware update for the PS3. Well, this afternoon we can reveal that, if our source is to be believed, this is indeed the case – we’ve had a chat with our own source (who wishes to remain anonymous) that has confirmed in principle that the next software update will feature an XMB-based cross game communication tool centred around voice chat.

It's just my opinion, but I think that if they were going to include this much requested feature, it would be in a major update... not in a .10 update. I would like to be proven wrong, but we will just have to wait and see.

Any of you guys ever consider that "Major Update" means something different to Sony?

Maybe since the update to 3.0 was so lackluster they felt that a .10 update wouldn't matter. I know that the only thing that I really noticed about 3.0 was the "sparkly" background, the premium themes and easier access to the PSN store. Those didn't scream majorly important to me.

The 2 biggest updates that I would like are the ability to play whatever music I want in whichever game I please, and the ability to organize my downloaded content how ever I like. They only offer 2 choices and neither of them are alphabetically.

+1 For the cat transfers.
Seriously, as everyone I'm hoping that this Cross-Voice chat comes soon, if not ... well.
