Man it is great to be back on D-Toid! I would like to wish everyone happy holidays and may everyone have safe and fun times away from their busy lives.
One of the most requested features to come with In-Game XMB was Voice Chat. However when 2.40 arrived, many people were disappointed to hear that it wouldn’t be featured with the update. Sony will deliver this addition sometime later this year, however they also hope to go one step further: In-Game Video Chat. And we’re not just talking about video chatting while you have the game paused. According to an inside source, In-Game Video Chat will enable you to video chat with a friend while actually playing your game. It will work in a similar fashion to BD-Live where there is a PiP (Picture in Picture) window in the top right corner of the screen so you can see your friend(s) while you chat with them. It’s unclear when exactly this will arrive but it should come via firmware update by the end of this year.

Not sure about other PS3 owners, but I was one of those people hoping this feature came with the 2.40 update. This would be the perfect update leading up to the long anticipated release of HOME. It would be awesome to see the expressions on my friends/foes face as I dominate in madden or 2k8 lol. Doesn't this feature simply own! SONY, BRING IT ON!
Another rant of mine, this one touching on the awful behavior in online gaming. Personally, I can take the BS of online gaming, but many others cannot, so lets try to change this because the mute button is not always the best option (Some games don't ship with the option to mute).
Ok, so I'm pretty much sick of the perceptions people have of most gamers in society. So... I hope to encourage people to step up and help the gaming culture. Hope the video is informative.
When I read about the new updates I wanted to shout, "YAYYYYYYYYY", but all that came out was "It's about damn time.... shyt!" One of the things I enjoyed most about the X-box and X-box 360 is finally coming to the PS3. Now I won't have to leave COD4 just to add a new friend or message my buddies.
