This is kinda weird. So I know that there's no dedicated servers for consoles (Can we get that btw?) so I'm just gonna guess all the lag on a PS3 is because of that. Anyways, when I join a game through Brink, you know, go to the Playstation Network section, go to friends then join a game, I can hear my friends through my mic, but only 1, or sometimes all of them can't hear me. But when I join a game through the PSN by invite, everything works fine. Why is that?

If you've been following what Xbox 360 and PC user's have been saying over the past week the lag issue isn't new, they're addressing it, as for the mic issue the VOIP on Brink is horrible, unfortunately the PS3 lacks the workaround that the Xbox 360 and PC have via private chat channels by means of Xbox Party System and Ventrilo. I'm sure Bethesda/Splash Damage are working on the mic system.

And congrats on the PSN coming back up, PS3 players can finally enjoy Brink online...somewhat for now
