PS3 Weekend Warrior: More cross-game chat rumors and a new SKU

Cross-game chat is one of those features that a vocal group of PS3 gamers has been clamoring for with every new firmware update. Word is that it’s coming soon — like “next update” soon — but in the days since it was rumored to be inadvertently revealed by a Naughty Dog dev we haven’t heard anything about it. Oh, and speaking of Naughty Dog,  Uncharted 2 came out this week. Haven’t bought it yet? Go buy a copy. Haven’t played it yet? Put it in your PS3 now. Finished it already? Go play it again. After you read the PS3 Weekend Warrior, of course.
