PS3 Voice Chat

Hi all,

I'm having problems with some PS3 games while playing co-op with my mate. I was wondering if there's an app that lets you create a chat party you can use that overrides the games chat, a bit like the 360 actually.

Thanks

Dave

Short answer, no. There is a chat room function but you literally cannot do anything else while you are in it.

Really disappointed as the catalog of games with voice problems is growing, resorting to using the phone as it's that poor.

Though it's very situational and depends on one's own setup, I just use a laptop by my side, or PC if everything is nearby or on the same desk, and with Skype or any other VOIP software.

Other than an occasional delay lag which can be hilarious when it doesn't match with the gameplay, this is pretty much my go to choice. I'm never really a fan of a lot of the in-game voice chat systems, especially one's that provide no option to mute at all.

Cant say ive ever really had any problems. Borderlands had terrible voice support but thats pretty much it. Could be your headset?

What games are you actually having problems with? The only game that's ever given my grief with voice chat is BF3, which was broken for months after release.
