Forums - Sony - PS4 friends list: 2000 people!

Overkill... I would have said unlimited for now, then when they release another service such as gaikai or something, claim they had to reduce the number because if said service to 2000. Unlimited sounds so much better than 2000!


2000 friends is basically unlimited to what the average user would use. It's a rarity to find someone on XBL with 100/ full list of friends. How many here have one? Good move by Sony.

2000 sounds like it will have social network integration. Youll be able to link your ID with Facebook/Whatever and it will link you to the friends you have who did the same

Thats my guess, anyway.



                            

I wanted to be a cool guy for so long. Now that dream is becoming a reality



Like anybody in the world has 2.000 friends. I wish I could customize my list a little bit more. Like a list for friends, a list for online only friends and a list for some random dudes that just sent me an invite for no known reason. You know? I just don't like that people I've never seen and probably never will see are called friends. They aren't my friends! I don't know those people!

Yeah, minor complaint... But wth. :P

the X1 has unlimited...begs the question, why would you need so many? I currently think the 100 current list is too much for me, I always delete people who haven't been on in over 6months so I doubt I'll fill up all of them. Not to mention the people who are currently on my list, I next to never play/do  anything with them.


i certainly know people with more than 2k friends on facebook/linkin.  i would say that why would you need so many is the wrong question.  the right question is why build a social network that limits a users ability to be social?  i mean, what's the point?  without nsanity and spurge we wouldn't have any friends here.  if you want a social community to thrive you need to support the professional or enthusiatic contributer. 

2K means psn continues on as it has -- friend just a few people.  2M means psn has a opportunity to capture the LP crowd and gather celebrity support and maybe even have something go viral.   ..which are kind of the cornerstones of a social network.  sony at some point said they want this to be the "facebook for gamers" but 2K won't let that happen imo.

There's no denying there are people with thousands of "friends" on facebook and so on but I'm wondering do these people actually talk to every single one of those thousand+ people all the time?

e.g I have 130 people on my facebook and I really only talk to about 5 of them.

I have about 50 people on my psn and I don't remember the last time I actively tried to look someone up on there to set up a match for a game.

It's possibly just me but I can't help but feel these numbers are a little over the top.

So overkill. I'll probably not even double my current friends list on their (i have 69 according to my Vita and only half of them are active anymore). I suppose it's an option though for some people.

people are behaving as if its mandate to fill up their account with 2k friends or else something wont work.. its not a target guys :D

p.s. and Xb1 has 1k limit not unlimited... just saying, no pressure!

ha ha well said! though i wont be surprised to see a comment somewhere like "geez 1.8 Tflop and only 2k friends limit! epic fail" jk



Have you ever played an Xbox 360 or PS3? Do you know how annoying it is to see "Sugartits21 is online" every 20 seconds?! Imagine that times twenty!

With that off of my chest, I'm pretty sure there will be a less intrusive way to notify gamers who is online this time.
