Surely anything big like crossgame chat would be in 3.00 not .70…

This is going to be hilarious when so many people are going to be disappointed. If they do add cross-game voice chat, I suspect it will have to be implemented by the developer, just like custom soundtrax. If they get it to be system wide, then there’s even more of a reason to make custom soundtrax a system wide feature, regardless of made up patent violation excuses. My bet would be all that’s going to happen in 2.70 are a few bug fixes with some games and maybe the release of the ad-hoc party. But I’m sure so many here are going to hype themselves up only to be greatly disappointed later and text bomb the playstation blog with their anger.

Another shout for MKV support, although I know it’s not going to happen.

TVersity/PS3MediaServer are not viable solutions to me, since I have my PS3 wireless, and my PC wireless. I’ve tried streaming with both of them, and it’s very hit and miss due to this. I’ve no wish to trail huge cables around my house just to get the media server working decently.

Be interesting to see what this is. X-game invites and chat are top of my list.

Mart keeps saying he’ll look at the edit thing. I might ask Chris, actually. He got the galleries and comments box done today in double-quick time.

That’s what happens when you don’t proof-read your post’s.

And when you do….you get people like Syrok stealing them.

Michael, you’re lowering yourself to fanboy/flamebaited status? I’m disappointed in you.

Developers usually get the dev firmwares months in advance of the retail firmware upgrades.

“No one knows, innit. I saw cross-game chat rumoured today.”

Yeah, more features that have came as standard in the competition’s console over 3 years ago!

SilentLoner, I recommend you get PS3MediaSever, it does “on-the-fly” MKV conversion.

Yeah but not mkv files sadly

@shatner: I would happily do this, but I have the problem that there are too many servers on my network, which results in an error message poping up every few seconds once I turn on the media streaming function of the PS3.

@Silent: As far as I know you can stream content from your Mac to a PS3. Not sure whether that is also over tversity or another program.

I’m hoping it brings us the EA Sports Home space too. Not that it needs a firmware update … just clutching at straws as it’s gone quiet since they said “due March”.

@ silent – no resistance, just the thought of you (even though i dont know you) getting wet was disturbing.

Try VUZE. i think that its MAC compatible.

By: SilentLoner

SilentLoner — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 22:46:28 +0000

I am on a MAC so I cant Shatner.

Oh and why the resistance for x game chat?

By: SERAPHEMZ

SERAPHEMZ — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 22:46:14 +0000

shatner- syrok wrote he didnt want to stream.

Sidenote – vuze is a pretty cool program to stream hd to ps3.

On topic – just did some checking and it looks like cross game and voice messages are coming.
