ven though Sony has been touting their PlayStation Network Platform for a while, not much has been stated on what the situation will be for voice chat. In our exclusive multiplayer session for Resistance: Fall Of Man today (detailed video presentation coming tonight...stay tuned!) with Insomniac's Ted Price, it was revealed that the same USB headsets that are used on the PlayStation 2 can also be used on the PlayStation 3.
However, PS2 USB headsets are corded, and this is the next generation. We want wireless headsets! Since the PlayStation 3 controller doesn't have a headset jack like the Xbox 360 controller, headsets will either have to be corded USB or Bluetooth for wireless. So does Sony have plans for Bluetooth PS3 headsets for voice chat? Right now the company isn't divulging any plans. Considering that Microsoft is releasing a wireless headset this holiday, you can almost bet that Sony is planning on something soon.
However, until there's news about something else, its looking like all voice chat for PlayStation 3 games like Resistance will be done by corded headsets. Welcome to the next generation!
