Voice chat in PlayStation Home is back (sort of)
- December 22, 2008 00:00 AM PST
Sony brings back voice chatting in Home, but you can't talk to your friends in every area anymore.
After Sony disabled the PlayStation Home's voice chat functionality last Friday, the company has now reactivated the ability for users to chat with each other via a headset.
The Official PlayStation Blog reveals that after restricting voice chatting on PlayStation Home, their new 3D social gaming community, for the weekend to free up some strain on their servers, voice chatting amongst users has resumed.
Whereas users in Home could previously talk to each other from anywhere within Sony's virtual world, they have now limited chatting to your "personal space and clubhouses."
Read the full story on the PlayStation Blog here.
Don't get too excited--they're really two ugly dudes. (Click HERE for more Home screens!)
Finally. Now, it's back to doing the robot and blowing kisses to random people in Home for me.

So many complaints about home, when the people who are actually making the complaints couldn't do a better job. Updating is a part of gaming now, so either get used to it, or do something about it. Better yet, come out with a better system that doesn't have all the flaws you're so happy to announce. STFU, enjoy home, or go play a 360 or a Wii. Plain and simple. Home is exactly what Sony said it would be. The begining. And it's for free....by the way, lol.

BOOOOOOOO!!!! WHY WOULD SONY DO THIS? I LOVE SONY BUT YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN DOING SOME DUMB $HIT LATELY. HOME COULD BE THE BEGINNING OF SOMETHING GREAT IF YOU DO THE RIGHT THINGS AND DOING THINGS LIKE REMOVING VOICE CHAT FROM MOST OF THE GAME IS A DOWNGRADE NOT AN UPGRADE. IF THE GAME IS ABOUT SOCIALIZING THEN LET US SOCIALIZE. PURE STUPIDITY. I MEAN TO BE HONEST I PLAYED IT LIKE ONCE BUT IT SEEMED LIKE IT COULD BE GREAT I JUST WENT UP TO DIFFERENT PEOPLE AND EVERYONE WAS INTO THIER OWN CONVERSATION IT WAS PRETTY COOL BUT THINGS ARE PROBABLY DIFFERENT NOW. IF IT STAYS CHATLESS THE WAY IT IS NOW I PROBABLY WONT BE MAKING ANOTHER TRIP HOME.

This may also be to keep people from cussing on HOME. I personally got so tired of it that I turned off the option. I bet it has nothing to do with their servers.
