Sony Europe's R&D Manager Phil Rogers has confirmed that the PlayStation Vita will allow users to text and voice chat with friends via the system's Party app, even if they are playing different games or using different applications.
Cross-game voice chat, it's there and it's on Vita.
Party lets up to four users band together to chat, and according to Rogers is "really good for having friends together to discuss games, chat about them and get into them."
Rogers also confirmed that Party can integrate with friends lists, and that you can create a variety of Party groups, enabling you to have different groups for different types of games and apps. Thankfully, he also stated that you can over-ride the voice-chat option at will, enabling you to silence your friends before entering your dentist's waiting room or hopping on the bus.

that's cool. Now make it on the PS3, thanks.
No, the PS3 doesn't have that feature. And after reading an article on 1up about the matter, it doesn't seem possible
I hope with the bluetooth they let you use the PS3 controller. it might seem useless for some, but after hours of monster hunting I'd rather just kick back and hook it up to my TV and play lol
Sorry, the PS3 won't have that feature ever. It needs more RAM, and that would mean a new hardware revision. This is one of the reasons why PS Vita is loaded with extra memory.
Wow, so it has a microphone! Just like the 3DS! Might as well allow it to give you shape shifting powers. ...and flying abilities...
Will we be able to talk to people on a PS3 if we're playing the same game?
