Yeah voice chat is a necisity, The PS3 is pushing an online community with titles Like home and little big planet, wheres the sense in not being able to comunicate? Sony has to get awat from the solo gamer and start pushing team and comunity play online. Without voice comms GT5p is going to be seriously lacking online, coupled with the posebility of no user hosting and no friends invites It could get dull prety quick! Heres hoping that we at least get the coms.
