Here's a hot little rumor going around the Interwebs: cross-game voice chat might be coming to a PS3 console near you at a premium. Sony has been more than obvious about toying with the idea of having a subscription-based PlayStation Network so it doesn't come as a huge surprise to see a quote in the latest issue of Official PlayStation Magazine about the subject:

“Sony’s current service is one of the PS3’s best features, so we’d begrudgingly welcome a revamped PSN with extra subscriber functionality, like cross-game-chat and exclusive PSN downloads.”

The quote comes from a rumor section in the publication, so I'm guessing the magazine is just breathing substantial hot air or they've recently come into new, concrete information regarding a future PSN update. Possibly in Spring.

If Sony charges for such a feature, are you guys in?
