Work in Progress: PC <-> PS3 Messenger

News from streetskaterfu

Many user would like to communicate with their friends on PS3. As there's no default application for it we thought of just writing our own if it is possible. So we done a lot of research already, but still work in progress. The base to work on is definitive there and we will try to successfull finish this nice project. What I can tell you so far, is that the PSN messaging is based on the XMPP protocol, used by several IM-programs like Jabber

The pic above is the application to check for the real nickname which the PSN uses to login.

We also just finished an application to filter the real nickname you will need to login into the PSN later. You will just need to enter your normal PSN account name and the program spits out your messanger nickname. With this nickname, you can then login into the messenger environment to be able to send pics and messages to your PS3 friends. We hope it's possible to have all running soon and be able to give you a usefull addon for the PC, so you don't need to feel "alone", just you'r not on your PS3 and can type with your friends ;-)

that's a great project, hope this won't die.
good luck with it :)

Oh, great! I have been wanting something like this, especially now that there is the text chat feature on the PS3.

And seeing how the text chat feature wasn't horrible, I'm sure a lot of people can find use out of this.
