really but really….. private, cross-game/XMB voice chat.. it’s a MUST now… in Home or not in Home.. with invites. the online gaming is always evolving.. and it’s frustrating playing for example Motorstorm PR and ear a nine years old kid screaming with is friend and play music in my ears!! :o) really sony please.. also in Home I’m wondering why I have to push R2 to talk with my friends.. It’s the only features where PSN is failing. Please

@189: Of course not, or Jack Buser wouldn’t have said “You need to post on the Playstation HOME Forums if you want it” in regards to Picture Frames/TVs/Stereos. It’s been the most requested feature in Home for months, including during the closed beta after they pulled Picture Frames.

Does anyone at Sony pay attention to the suggestions being made at the Playstation forums?

I’m sorry but… Home is really just awful at this point. I don’t even see the point anymore.

You’ve got childish users trying to abuse the reporting system and at least 2 people I knew who were highly respected users during the closed beta were banned temporarily for no good reason.

You guys took voice chat out of public spaces and you think *THIS* is the solution? You want us to keep removing people and adding new ones to our Friends Lists to work around the 100 user limit just to be able to voice chat with people?!

Then you’ve got Jack Buser wanting to tell us we haven’t suggested Picture Frames and TVs when the forums are FILLED with those requests?

Jeez… I’ve played MMORPGs with better social networking… sad…

Just got done playing pool. Boy, I miss voice-chat. Talking with the person I was playing with and helping someone at anothet table via typing was rediculous. So much easier if I were able just to talk.

Not complaining. I love Home. I just wish I could freely talk.

Besides, asking people for permission to speak with them seems to me a little desperate.

And, once they respond and I hear how they talk, if I decide that I don’t want to talk with them, I just wasted both our times.

I want to be allowed to make my own choices and not have them made for me. If I do not care for the company of others, I want to be able to mute them. My choice – no one else’s.

That is all i am going to say on this topic. I love Home and what I have accomplished there. I will be here to be a part of its growth. Be seeing you. Ciao!

Being able to only chat with people who are only on your friends list defeats the purpose of one aspect of Home. Namely, being able to interact and meet people. Most of the people on my friends list do not have mics.

I would prefer to be able to walk up to someone and say “hello”. If they do not wish to voice-chat, they can mute me and/or ignore me. I don’t want to have to ask people permission to voice-chat everytime I want to invite them to a game or for directions or whatever. Most likely, as i might be a stranger, they will not respond or refuse the invitation.So, I just wasted my time trying to contact them.

When asking for the above, it would be nice to do so freely without the invitation and hope that someone in the area would respond to my query.
