Sony Gives Home Players Their Voice Back
The PlayStation Blog informs us that with the newest update (ver 1.05), PlayStation Home will resume having voice chat. The feature was temporarily removed from the last update, effectively muting all the idiots who seemed to have headsets. For those of us that don't like listening to idiots, this was a dream come true since walking through Central Plaza was akin to taking a walk through the worst neighborhood you could think of in your hometown. The profanity, racism, sexism and homophobia was right out there for everyone to hear whether you wanted to or not. Of course, you could turn the voice chat feature off, but by default it was there, buzzing like a vulgar insect in your ear.
According to the blog, voice chat will be reinstated in your "personal space and clubhouses" so that you'll be able to voice chat with your friends in your own space without bothering other people. I take this to mean it will not be functioning for the Central Plaza, Bowling Alley, Mall and other common areas which can only be a good thing.

You know, I never heard any foul language on Home... Because I couldn't get on! Genius!
I'm assuming that's a photo from a stage production of "Bye Bye Birdie's" Going Steady number?
I see sony again release something too early with very little thought that needs fixing.
FLAME ON!!! :P
I've said it before, but ANY game that needs a fix has been released too early. Grrrr
Having said that any game that can't be fixed is just as depressing RIP Samba De Amigo Wii
Actually it's from Bye Bye Birdie's "The Telephone Hour" number
