It\'s just a feature for the one game, though?

^ From what I understand, it\'s Sony\'s online network- their answer to Xbox Live.  I\'ve heard good things about it.

As long as there aren\'t fees assessed to use/continue using games, online is all good.

According to Xfire CEO Mike Cassidy, however, the 1UP article contained some inaccuracies. "We do have future announcements," Cassidy told IGN. "For now I can only tell you Xfire is not part of PS3\'s PNP."

I love Xfire, it\'s so smart in the PC realm.  Find your buddy online, choose to join the Teamspeak channel he\'s in, join the game he\'s playing, or just simply chat with him.

Anxious to see how consoles will take advantage of it.
