I have been beta testing the PS3 Home for a couple months and the one thing that has always been present is the public voice chat. However, Sony recently took that feature away via firmware update. It seems like Sony has brought that feature back handicapped, which is most likely due to foul mouth gamers inside Home.
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
Not only is it a beta.. but Sony never gave any specific reasons for voice chat degradation.I'm sure we can all assume what it is, but how can you assume, then write a blog, and state it as fact? Gaming journalism is garbage. Its all just some random brain fart jotted down on a blog and snuck into n4g.
Who wants to bet this will be in Beta until the PS4 or PSP2 release?
Who wants to bet that fanboys will still defend this "Beta" when that time comes?
around in Home I realize why Sony made the decision they made. Either way, they can just run away or tell that person to get away or threaten them with a report.
Voice chat has been back for a couple of days now. And the voice chat was temporarily taken away to repair the connection issues people were having
It really feels gimped now. Only talking to one person during a bowling session blows monkey balls.
