hi there i am a convert from the xbox360 and wondered if any one can tell if it is possible to invite a friend for a private chat on the ps 3 like i could on the xbox sorry if it seems a simple question but i only seem able to txt chat or have open chat

At the moment you can't enter a private chat while in a game, also known as party chat on the 360. However you can enter or create a private chat room from the XMB (when not in a game); just above your Friends List there should be an option for Start New Chat, from there select Voice/Video Chat and you will create a private voice chat room. You can invite whoever you want from there.

As far as in-game party chat is concerned the PS3 doesn't have it yet, from what I hear it's already in the works but you'll have to pay a subscription for it upon release. When this will actually happen is anyone's guess.

also you can click triangle on any of your friends names on your list and click start new chat and send em an invite.
