We really do need to bother Sony about voice chat in game. And a party system. That's a nice list. I'll make sure to post on the Blog.


I feel like in-game voice chat would be such a huge upgrade for so many games right now. That one should be extra big at the top of the list. And with more than a little "so barbaric" tagline describing it.

Cant wait for 2.90 update

LOL thats pretty good

I like how this is your first post. Took a long time for the guy to make the list.

By the way, most of those stuff [well major ones like cross game talking] were already confirmed from the Playstation Blog.

Can someone post this in the thread

Seriously?  Where?  That would be awesome.

1.       Voice Messaging

Text messaging is so barbaric

2.       Party System

Keep you connected with friends

3.       Cross Game Inviting

Better than in-game inviting that not all developers implement properly

4.       In-game Game voice Chat

Same as number 2, keep you connected with friends

5.       Allow multiple player profile sign in XMB.

So when you play a game you don’t all use the same SAVE FILE

6.       Let you change your profile in-game

So you don’t have to fully exit the game to change your profile

7.       In-game music for all games

Overlap it with the current music, people can manually turn down the game music if they want to.

8.       Faster XMB loading

It’s a times slow and spins around for longer than it should

9.       Auto trophy syncing

It’s annoying having to wait for them to sync

10.   Better psn profile cards

They are ugly and don’t have enough information

11.   Fix the keypad lag

It lags too much

12.   Automactically delete friend request messages

I don't see why it stays there.

13.   Put somewhere on the XMB your number of messages

User friendliness again, it’s so people know when they sign on or if they missed it because of the lack of sound they can see the number of messages and see that they got a new one like how every email site has a inbox with a mail symbol and number of messages

14.   Fix the glitch where when you play a demo it lists your 0% trophies

A lot of people are **bleep**ing about this.

15.   Organize your games by demos, PSN , PS3 , Qore,ps1, etc.

It’s not very pretty if you got a bunch of demos ps1 games, psn games mixed together in one big list and the folder organizing thing is tedious

16.   Access to subfolders for external devices and memory cards

You did it with the PSP now do it with the PS3

17.   Universal memory manager

Instead of going to each category how about a memory manager that lists all the sections and how much each section takes up and then go into that section through the memory manager and delete the resources that take up too much space

18.  Better music player support

Like your ipod, mp3 player or any computer music player it sorts out songs by albums, artists, year etc. When you plug it in to your PS3.  By looking at the file properties. It should also support more different kinds of music players.

19.   Report system

Report racist, offensive things

20.   Player rating system

Add to profiles

21.   Allow developers to integrate PSN profiles into their games

So your friends aren’t the only ones who can see your PlayStation Network profiles and so people you met online can be invited into your chat

22.   MKV codec support

It’s a very popular codec that’s high demand and high in use now.

23.   Improve XMB visuals

REALLY GREY right now

24.   Ability to create custom avatars using PlayStation Eye

It’d done on live so it should be done here too

25.   Add friend news feed like PlayStation Cloud rumour and like how STEAM has theirs.

If you look at all the reception from the rumour everyone loved the idea. It also gives more incentive for trophy collecting, keeps you and your friends connected and makes PSN more social. Look at Facebook and Twitter

26.   Add optional sound for messages and requests, download finishes

You don’t always notice you got a new message

27.   Allow download of multiple things at once.

I want things to all download at once so I can estimate how long they are all going to take

28.   Add backwards compatibility

That way you can sell PS2 classics in the store and make a **bleep**load of more money

29.   Put a section called applications, put PlayStation Life, web browser and other things there.

It’d be much better that way

30.   Keep USB ports hot while system is in standby

So you can charge your dual shock without having to leave on your ps3.

31.   Battery Icon when you hit the PS button shouldn’t cover up the time

It’s annoying

32.   Be able to check other user’s friend list

So you can find friends and see other user profiles

33.   Add Netflix, Hulu, Skype and other services

Because your competitors have them and it makes the system a better media player

34.   Be able to access and send messages through PlayStation.com

So you can talk to your PSN friends from other platforms

35.   Give ranks for when people reach certain trophy levels

More incentive to level up with trophies

36.   On the friends list add mini trophy pictures and the number of trophies they got and their level

Either this or the news feed

37.   Ability to appear offline for your friends list

People sometimes want to hide from people

38.   Ability to sort your friends in groups (ie. Sort by people from school or people you met online)

Helps remember how you know some people because you aren’t using first names and last names

39.   More music visualizations

There aren’t many right now

40.   Add User passwords

People want to protect their accounts

41.   Add ability to use button combinations to input passwords instead of typing.

Typing is a pain in the ass with the PS3

42.   Be able to save connections in network settings like how the PSP does it.

Pain in the ass to do things over and over again

43.   Improve media streaming

It’s laggy at times and should download a portion of a movie first instead of doing it all at once.

44.   Create a PlayStation Blog and PlayStation forums application(like store)

Browser sort of sucks for browsing sites

45.   Remove unusable icons in in-game xmb except game related things

Too much useless things

46.   Integrate HOME with profiles

Home is like a whole other thing right now...

47.   Make it so the what your friends are doing can show more info and so if you are playing a PS2 game or watching a movie it will say

It’s usually blank, and people want to know what their friends are doing look at twitter and facebook

48.   In-game xmb for PS2 games, music and for disc movies

So you can still communicate with friends

49.   Settings should be organized more

Too many things to scroll down for initially

50.   Get rid of content installs and other installs for downloadable content

It’s annoying

51.   Tweak the architecture so updates can be smaller and do its job faster

Takes half an hour to hours to do updates because of 130MB in size updates when on XBOX 360 their updates are below 25MB

52.   Music streaming in-game

Hard drive space is tight for some people and prefer to have it on their PC

53.   Add interface controls using voice and hand motions(PlayStation Eye) for gimmick purposes and to be competitive

Amazes the casual gamer

54.   Add more PlayStation Network avatars

There’s a very small selection

55.   XMB in PlayStation Store

I don’t see why not

56.   Allow people to watch DVD/Blu-ray during remote play

I don’t see why we can’t other than Blu-ray movies but you can just downscale those

57.   Add PSP emulator

People don’t want to play portable games on a small screen when they are at home it also increases your install base. PSP can be used when you want to play games outside PS3 when you are at home.

58.   Extend friend list number from 100 to 250

A lot of people are reaching their limits

59.   Put game installs, game saves and PS2 memory unit stuff in Universal Memory Manager mentioned earlier

It’s not situated at the best spot; people should go there to access their games not to manage their games.

60.   Custom folder pictures

The grey folders are ugly especially grey folders with pictures in the middle

61.   Add to folder option

Instead of pushing Triangle and modifying the properties of the files to add it to a folder how about an add to folder option

62.   Stop censoring private text chat

It’s private chat...

63.   Number somewhere on the XMB that says how many friends you have online

People like to be informed of this

64.   Pop-up that tells you when your friend is playing the same game as you

So you know and you can play with them

65.   When you push the PS button while a notification for a new message or invite or anything it should make it automatically popup

It eliminates so much unnecessary work

66.   It should tell you when you level up

I sort of don’t see why it doesn’t

67.   There should be a moving experience bar that pops up when you unlock a trophy to show how much exp you just got

One of the greatest additions in Pokemon was the EXP bar that grows every time you defeat an enem.

68.   Make profile avatar the same as PSN avatar

I don’t see why you need two different avatars

69.   Place avatar somewhere on XMB so you know which profile and psn account you are logged into

It’s good to know, you could be working on your siblings COD stats without you even noticing

70.   Put somewhere on the xmb that you are signed into PSN and connected to the internet

So that you know, otherwise only way you can notice is if you notice you got no friends showing up and it says sign in under PlayStation Network

71.   XMB controller shortcuts(R2 for FRIENDS, L2 for USERS, L1 for music, R1 for games)

For quicker navigation

72.   Allow multiple headsets(for each player)

So not just first player can use a headset

73.   PlayStation One emulation at a higher resolution than 320x240

My super old PC can play PS1 games at a higher resolution...

74.   Time stamp for text messaging

It could be useful.

75.   Message flood protection

If you got a keypad you can easily spam someone

76.   Players you’ve met should be organisable by last met and by games

More ways of organizing pleases more people

77.   Don’t force users to organize files in memory card/ storage devices by Music, Video, Pictures folders

You should be able to stick files anywhere you want on the memory card and the PS3 should be able to find everything just fine

78.   Move notifications to the lower center of the screen so they are more noticeable.

Plus everything else is already in the top right so you might as well move that

79.   PDF support

A lot of online game guides are PDF

80.   Ability to change PSN ID

You can do it with Xbox Live, and a lot of people want theirs changed

81.   Ability to buy full games within demo

It can be done on Xbox Live you just go to unlock full game within most XBLA demos and it will make a window popup and you can purchase the game without having to download it again or exit the game.

82.   There should be a music store

There’s already a video store now add a music one, your sister company is a music company!

83.   Reduce OS footprint

Browser runs out of RAM, and this helps give developers more RAM to use for games

84.   Add video, music and photo sharing

Xbox Live is adding it, it was promised for HOME, but not everyone wants to log in home to do this

85.   Fix up scaling problems

Still messed up even after 1.80

86.   FLAC support

For the audiophiles

87.   AC3 audio codec support

A lot of movies use this codec nowadays

88.   Messages should be stored on PlayStation Network not on our hard drives

So you can access messages from any PS3 or PC

89.   Video effects to video chat

People want them, and it adds more fun

90.   Get rid of Sent Messages

Makes message checking more cluttered and complicated than it needs to be

91.   Get rid of PSN funds interval deposits

People without credits cards, who use pre paid master cards, prefer to be able to add custom amounts

92.   The ability to buy PSN items for friends as gifts

Like on STEAM

93.   Improve the DRM

People are game sharing, and you can only download movies once

94.   Offer digital distribution of PS3 games

Compress the games that are too big, and just give users larger install times since the PS3 has such great hardware.Crysis and other games are over 20GB on STEAM however you never download that much

95.   User search option, and you should be able to view their PSN profile

Helps find your friend, and gives more purpose to the languages and about me

96.   When you insert a disc, device or memory card you should be prompted with a message asking if you wish to open it

Makes it more user friendly for people who aren’t very tech savvy

97.   Ability to take a screenshot in any game

It should be double tap of the PSN button if possible

98.   Game guides for sale on PlayStation Store

There’s a good amount of people who buy those official game guides, offering it digitally can please a lot of people

99.   There should be profiles for each game

It’s good for when your friend is playing a game you can go to Learn More and it will bring you tothe profile

100.   Better Web Browser

Could be faster and more user friendly

Honestly.... I find quite a few of these "USELESS"

everyone with a PSN account, cna you guys post saying you agree and kudo it so when I email it to Eric Lempel it shows that PSN users want this.

I'm already happy with the PS3 features we got now. No need for Sony to rush new features. We have text chat but I don't use it so I most likely won't use in game voice chat either.
