Just makes the experience more immersive for me. Especially if I'm playing a FPS.

I'll never understand how people can focus on shooting something or someone when you can't hear them what's going on in the game world.

The online community on Ps3 seems like its thriving to me, but I've only owned a Ps3 for a couple of years so I can't say how it was earlier.

I think I know what you mean when you say that though b/c the online community on xbox is way more organized. I often find myself wondering why the Ps3 doesn't have a system (not one I can find anyway) of reporting people for misconduct, or why do I have to go to messages to accept an invite but those are minor annoyances that don't ruin the experience for me.
I'm with you there, I'm not sure how people can do it. I use to try and listen to music while playing Counter-Strike and just ended up sucking more than I did without the music. My brother's roommate use to listen to Drum and Bass while grinding in World of Warcraft. His reasoning was the repetitiveness of the music worked well with blocking out the fact he was doing the same exact thing for hours on end.
