Under the terms of the new agreement, GameSpy's multiplayer technology -- including multiplayer matchmaking, in-game and out-of-game messaging, player statistics, VoIP communication and a leaderboard and ranking system -- will be incorporated into both the PlayStation 3 and PC versions of Unreal Tournament 3.

Enjoy those multiple networks which won't be one network with XMB ingame stuff like invites to other games, instant jumping in on co-op with your friends nor cross over game voice or text messages/chat. Great, never an unified network or friendlist.

you must never play games on pc xfire does chat and friendlist and its free, not to mention when you play a game for pc because it has dedicated servers unlike one consoles network that is pos p2p connection with good add ons to see who playing and talk but even with those extra features the game online still runs like sh@t even if u can talk to your friends while playing the game with sh@t online actual play it still is sh#t online play.
Oh yeah your a tool because you dont even know what voip is and its the exact thing you said was missing lol. Read the paragraph at least (i dont expect you would even read the article) before you post your pos comments.

part of the acticle.

GameSpy recently became part of Epic's Integrated Partners Program, which means GameSpy's multiplayer tech would be integrated into Epic's popular Unreal Engine 3. Turning Point: Fall of Liberty from Codemasters and Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway from Ubisoft are a few games that will feature PS3-to-PC cross platform play, thanks to the agreement.

That means the PS3 will have cross platform play!! Thats pretty sweet, no other console has that option that I know of. I hope all runs smoothly and adds to the pwnfest!!!

Would this be the reason why the release date for the ps3 version isn't solid yet? Seriously I really wanna know.
