Rumor: In-Game Chat Included with v2.40?

The new video released by Eric Lempel showed an interesting bit of the In-Game XMB. Under friends, however, you can clearly see “Start New Chat” under the XMB. Could private voice chat finally be coming to the PLAYSTATION 3?

    Maybe, but it might just ask you to leave the game to use it like other features will do.

    I was thinking the same thing as Eric, this doesn’t mean anything really.

    Exactly. Remember the XMB isn’t gimped for any particular game. In some ways this is good because developers can start thinking of ways they can use features from the XMB.

    Having full access to the XMB means the file sharing feature for Home and other games will be possible.

    As for the in-game voice chat, there’s enough people clamoring at the PS Blog so I’m sure it’ll be added eventually.
