    That chat was already better than 99% of games out there. No dropped audio, crystal clear

    Can't believe some these developers have such hard time with in game chat.

    Thinking about it.

    Can I play PSP games on it, do you know? Would love to finally play Crisis Core.

    Any of them which are available in digital form can be played on the Vita. There isn't a UMD slot, so any games that haven't made the jump from the UMD to digital aren't playable, but most of them have. Not sure if Crisis Core specifically is digital yet or not. If you like the Assassin's Creed games I would recommend Liberation as well. Isn't as strong in the story aspect as the console games,but it is still really good.

    I also highly recommend All-Stars. Been playing the hell out of it since I got it.

    Hmmm. I have a cheap headset that might work if connect it to my laptop. I already have G+ so that is not a problem.

    Even the cheap headset I have worked really well. The only issue I had is my sound system was louder than my laptop speakers, which is why I used the headset instead of the default mic on my laptop. The game was a lot of fun even without the chat even though it was frustrating, now it is effing awesome.

    Is the game free for Non PS+ members? I have a wireless PC headset that I could use. Also, you can use steam to voice chat as well. Just start a chat, then click start voice chat. That's free.

    I don't think it is very expensive, but I know it isn't free for non PS+ members. Hangout was pretty easy for the two of us to use. I don't have steam, nor have I ever used it. So that never crossed my mind.

    Bleh, I don't think I'm going to get it. $15 for that, isn't that worth it to me. But yea, steam is free, and there is a voice chat option. Haven't tried it yet, but I know it's there.

    Playstation Plus. Subscription based service that gives you a ton of free games as well as cloud storage and early/exclusive access to stuff such as betas.

    PS+ actually gives you things for your money, unlike other services....

    Steam is better than all Online services. The deals they have are ridiculous.

    Strong card right there that won't be outdated for awhile. Yea, Radeon is into the 9000 series, but no games need the 9000 series yet.

    I bet it will be pretty damn cheap. These flash sales they have been doing are really good prices.

    I like Forza. Not a fan of XBOX Live. The only Online service that makes you pay to play, and get nothing extra for paying. PSN is free, like all other online services(except Live), but you can purchase PS+ and get a lot of perks. Free games(a lot of full games, and good games), huge discounts, early beta access, ect... The buyer gets something for their money instead of nothing.

    Not the greatest selection, but it's free. It's been around for some time, but just recently made it to the PS3 which is kind of silly considering it's owned by Sony Pictures.

    Ya know, for as much as Microsoft pays to get exclusive content, it amazes me that Sony never really leverages other parts of its company to stay exclusive to PS3.

    I don't get it either. Xbox has had this for over a year I think. Xbox also has a Sony pictures app and the last time I checked PS3 did not have this app either. It makes no sense to me.

    Crackle has been available through the PS3 browser since last year, but only just got the dedicated app.

    But yeah, Sony as a whole has a ton of stuff they could leverage, but choose not to do so for whatever reason.

    I am complaining about in game chat. Party chat is a good feature but doesn't really do you any good if you are playing with randoms.

    I have only had the issue with two games thus far, both of which were among the 23 free games I have downloaded, and countless others I had my fill of and deleted. Spotty chat in 2 games is worth that much free stuff though. Can't really give an opinion on XBox Live as I have never owned an Xbox, so I have no idea what the service is like.
