You have a buzzer button, and four coloured buttons. It's difficult to type messages with it! :lol:
No ingame comms at all. Or EyeToy support.
Basically, Sony are sucking the hind tit here, and they need a simple, unified comms solution that you enter on XMB, and it just stays active no matter what you play or do - until you decide to quit.
Oh, and Force Unleashed will be good if it's close to the Jedi Knight stuff

^Yes bloototh does work its just to much arsing about to set it up i think furie means like a typing messages thing like msn to just say come online or something like that as for the eye toy i pretty sure you can use it with buzz just i not got one so not looked into it lol

What I mean, is that I have a Blu-tooth headset. I want to chat to Mark and John who I'm just about to play Buzz with.
I want to click on their user, and select "start chat session" - then choose the other and "Invite to chat session" - so we're all in the same session.
If they don't have blu-tooth, then a nice little messenger window with the three of us in would do. Then when I say "Yes, I want another game, but need three mins to put the kettle on before we start again" - both other peole get it, read it and know what's going on.
It's just so clumsy at the moment!

Some games have the voice chat already, but Buzz doesn't. It needs to be a universal system.
For Buzz, voice Chat and Eye Toy are to be added in the future... Unless they were in the latest update and I missed it?
Oh right.
I can see why its frustrating and would prefer voice chat, but can't you just use the in-game XMB to send a message? Then again, I guess you'd have to send it to each individual user which by the time you do that, the others think you don't want another game :lol:

I think people need to remember Sony have to develop these things were as Microsoft already had a lot of the communication things thanks to Windows.
What Sony should have done is used Linux as the operating system then people could have downloaded a messenger programme, you can install Linux but from what I understand you either have Linux or PS3 you can not play the games in Linux.
Anyway they do seem to know what they need to do and will get there, and on line is free which is a bonus in my eyes.

Thing is, X-Box Live launched late 2002... It was an immediate hit and was the absolute keenest selling point of the X-Box over the PS2. It was the one thing that the X-box did which absolutely mullered Sony. It took Sony by surprise, and they tried to do the same, but were too far into the process and too far away from the dev of the PS2 to ever hope to catch up.
That was at least two years before they started working on the PS3 from the ground up, and they never put any emphasis on it again. They've had plenty of time to get it right, right from the start, but they just didn't. So it's an add-on again, only this time, Sony aren't leading the pack, so developers aren't too bothered about making the effort. Same with Trophies...

Yes, free online is superb, and it's a great offering - I'm not knocking the service for the cost :lol: It's just that they've got it wrong - again - and it's frustrating because it's the one thing which would really complete the system.
As for Buzz, I'm up to 12 quizzes made now! Woohoo!
John did not mean it for you, i mean it for the people that keep going on about how it lacks this and that. But people never mention what it has.
I would rather have BlueRay full HD support free online, controllers that dont need batteries than a messenger service that will come
Yes you would have thought the PS3 would have had things from day 1 but it did not.
I hate Microsoft anyway hence I dont have a pc and I work on Unix. I also hated the Xbox which broke after 4 months yet my PS2 still works.
Anyway sorry should get back on topic.
