Sony is considering bringing early access/paid alphas to PSN.

I hate steam because you have to sift to shit to find anything decent, I hope PSN doesn't take that path.

Interesting about the Vita though I didn't know they had dev kits, I'm going to look into that this weekend. Id love to fiddie around with the Vita.

Funny because the way you "sift" through the catalog on Steam is so much more efficient than on consoles :

many more filters

detailed user reviews/advice and display of their actual usage in number of hours

links to metacritics

links to the afferent community forums

etc.

 

I hope consoles follow Steam's way of "sifting" through catalogs, but instead it seems they prefer the "know less" approach to compulsive purchasing.

I know all this, I say sift through shit because 90% of the games on stream are utter crap. You end up having to read all the user reviews to find anything decent. Least at the moment the QC is good on consoles so I don't have to rummage through Tim and Jeffs game they made over a weekend that somehow got greenlit. If I wanted that I would still be playing games on GameJolt.
