It would be an interesting thing to have the option to have a dynamic theme that changed each week that cycled through screenshots of new releases on the PlayStation Store. Every week it would change.

Showing games that hit the store, but it be the actual game and not a "poster" style ad.


LOL. Ironic because this is exactly what Xbox Dashboard does. Exactly.

On topic : Finally Sony maybe approacing PSN and Playstation in general as a business?????

The menu system needs changing though. Its so bare and uninviting. Hopefully its more colourful and less finnicky to navigate next generation. To many lists and clicks needed to do anything.



First Wolrd problem right there.

It isn't an ad, it's a free game. Sales are on the slide and they see it as opportunity for making cash from in game purchases.


exactly, listen to this man.

I know it is a game, nearly everyone does, it is unwanted on there XMB there and obtrusive.

To you it is unwanted, but thankfully to the 99% of the ps3 fanbase who are not die hard gamers this free game might be welcomed. It goes with Sony's plan to cater for the casuals this christmas. When a parent buys a ps3 for the children with LBP, wonderbook or whatever, singstar will be an added bonus. 

Stop whining. This was not thread worthy.

Nothing wrong with a free game, but why is it forced onto the XMB in that spot?  DCUO is free, but need get that from the PS Store and when you download it you can put it into folders like every single other game, except this. 

Since the firmware went live nearly all feedback has been negative in regards to the icon being there and non removable also.

Out of 68 million PS3's I bet the negative feedback is like 1500 internet users who post? 

Hardly anything for Sony to worry about. IMO they need to make money fast. And they need to get more business minded.

The feedback is from gamers like us. The fucks Sony gives about us is zero because we have bought the ps3, ps+ and tonnes of games over the years. They need to now focus on the casual guys. As much as I might hate singstar staring at me on my XMB, this move by Sony is good and predictable. People will buy the Mics and their favourite artist off the store when they see the game staring at them on the XMB. 

EDIT: my bad, you don't actually need a mic if you have the PS eye.....NICE



it's annoying and I hope that they will fix it by at least allowing us to move that icon to somewhere else.. I do hope they won't do this with other stuff like to promote dust514 or other f2p stuff



 

Face the future.. Gamecenter ID: nikkom_nl (oh no he didn't!!) 

Cool, but bring the trophies under Games icon.



Ha. You're right, there it is. Just another icon to me for skip like Playstation Home & Playstation Plus.
