Tell Sony how to Make the PS3 Better!



Is there something you don't like about the PS3 (other than that it doesn't have Mass Effect 2)? Sony's new PlayStation.Blog Share service is an official way for you to let them know what they can be doing better.

It's a problem that any reasonably popular content provider has: You can be making a post about some cool new feature you're excited about offering and talking over with the community, when some grump comes in to the thread with an off-topic complaint: "Hey guys, when are you going to nerf Rogue damage, huh??"

That isn't to say that their claims are always invalid, just that they aren't being said in the right place - but another problem is that most of the time, there is no right place other than a faceless-seeming email account.

That's the problem that Sony is PlayStation.Blog Share [http://blog.us.playstation.com/2010/03/17/introducing-playstation-blog-share/] feature. Do you have a cool new suggestion for something Sony could add to the service, or a complaint about something you don't like? Post it to the Share, and if people like it it'll get bumped to the top - where Sony can hopefully see it as an issue worth addressing.

It's a very cool new feature. Every company has a "email us suggestions!" inbox somewhere or other, but what's nice about the PS3 Share is how public it is - and how you can check to see what the community thinks is its most pressing concerns. I also like how you get rewarded through visibility if you vote on multiple subjects, so that encourages people to sift through them instead of just finding the most popular.

At the moment, the three most popular topics are: "Copy Multiple Game Saves at once," "Trophies for PSP," and "Trophy, Presence, and Profile APIs." Obviously coding takes a long time, so these won't happen within the week or maybe within the month, but hopefully this service will put these things on Sony's radar. Good job with this one, guys!

This seems pretty nice. I'd love to message them about some improvements I always thought the Ps3 could use.

Cross game voice chat is the highest now. Hopefully Sony will get the message and finally put it in for free instead of in that subscription thing they've been talking about.

More avatars, or the ability to get a custom avatar after it's deemed not explicit.

Awesome! I suggested the removal of the region lock so PSP Go users get an instant boost of new and good games.

They've explained the No BC thing so many times. It just doesn't work out. A lot of games on BC capable PS3's look like crap. And I'm sure you're one of the 140 some odd million who owns a PS2 so just use that.

I couldn't really think of any on my own but these are good. Its two late (i think) to have the ps3 play ps2 disks so they could offer downloads at least. Also it's a good thing I don't have a psp go because I play a few Japanese games, I really don't like region blocking on any system and it needs to be done away with.

Now, the problem is will they take what is put on there into account

WOW. I've honestly never seen a company do something like this. Go Sony!

btw, the number next to the red down arrow next to each idea is the TOTAL number of votes, not the number of "no" votes. Maybe I'm just retarded, but it took me about 15 minutes to figure it out.

OK, you look at MGS2 in progressive scan as it would be through a PS3's HDMI and tell me it looks like crap.

love it, I'm already clicking the +1 vote green arrow on just about every topic I come across on the blog, I doubt Sony will do even half of these suggestions but...still a pat on the back for making themselves look good.

I wonder if anyone's considered asking for it to cost less?

OT: This is actually pretty good, even if it's just to look like consumer satisfaction matters, either way it's a good move on Sony's part.

It's about time.
I wasn't expecting it to do all the wonderful things they said it would at launch but at this point, we've waited long enough.
I just want more consistency: more than a few games with custom soundtrack option, psp connectivity, and all that other great stuff.

Wait... why am I telling you this.
I can tell THEM this.
