Forums - Sony - Dear Sony, How to make PSN better when PS4 launches

- Seperate stores for PS4, PS3, PSP, and PSVita. Its annoying and the store is cluttered when you group in PSP and PS3 titles. I can only imagine how much more cluttered it will be when PS4 is added to that list. 

- New User Interface. I actually like the PS3 UI, but its time for an update. 

- Billboards / Ads (Game related only).... bitch all you want to, XBL has ads and its the main reason 360 games always sell more. Having millions of people log in each day to an ad saying "_______ In Stores Today" gives consumers a greater awareness of when their favorite games are coming out. Even the video downloads are easier to access in XBL which is why gamers are more in touch with whats coming out and what new games are in stores. PSN in contrast requires you to go to the store to download videos, and when you get there, its a mess.

- Faster downloads. No Installs. 

- Cross game chat.... honestly I couldnt care less about this crap. But apparently many others do.

- Release a PS4 bundle that comes with a cheap headset. None of that bluetooth stuff either. Wired headsets may not be as high-tech and fashionable as wireless/bluetooth headsets... but they function much better and dont require being charged all the time. Why bundle a headset? Because PSN is a desert in most games. XBL has way more people talking and is a better experience because of that... due to the fact that more people have headsets on 360. More people with headsets = more fun, more people forming online friendships, ppl going on PSN more, and more word of mouth about your games.

 

 

any other suggestions?

headsets are the bane of online gaming IMO,

PS: PSeye is a fully capable microphone. headset free chatting ftw?

I always thought psn was fine imo. Never really had any problems with it. I guess cgc would be nice but I don't think many even care for it. I like the direction it's going in now.

I'm talking about now. People bitch and moan about a lack of headsets when the eye is far better.

With regards to cross game chat, are people so incapable of being alone that they can't play their games without someone to talk to? I can understand wanting to play with people in the same game, e.g multiplayer but not playing with someone else playing a different game.

but it's less expensive...

You want ads??? Wtf is wrong with you lol? Have you seen how big the ads are on the 360s dashboard? We dont need no ads. They should revamp the PS Store to something thats more interactive, some sort of bigger covers



You are back
PSN is fine imo. But change can never hurt, as long as it is free.



Ugh. No way. Headsets> eye/kinect/speak.
OT: I agree with you though. My only suggestion is to allow you to play games as you download. Stream games and demos like onlive if so desired. More full functional cloud storage. Ability to watch a video without downloading it. Maybe flesh out the store with more classic games from dreamcast, genesis, psx, ps2, and add psp games.
