Let me start by saying that a forum is a place where you come to express your oppinion good or bad, among other things.

With that said i just want to say the playstation network update today was not good. Granted ive been waiting for the folklore demo and im happy i can get it now, but im tired of making myself feel better by saying at least ive got something. I was just pointed out that the "other" system has a demo for EVERYarcade game available. EVERY SINGLE ONE!

Now this is the point where someone usually says "If you dont like this system get the other one." I bought the ps3 and ps3 only because i prefer this system, but that doesnt mean its without flaw. The "give it time things will get better" is over now, a company this big shouldnt need that much time to get more content on there store.

I really and sincerly hope this doesnt turn into a war and i get only intelligent comments whether you agree or disagree. But the Bottom line is: Things are only gonna get better when we start expressing to the company that we want better and stop acting like everything is ok! And why does it seem like the europe, usa, and japan psn's are competing for demos instead of being the same company.

P.S. You can check my history to see that I actually prefer playstation and im not here trolling.

Well, as you notice, more and more demos are releasing. We do have some PSN Title demos, but not for all of them. More will come. The PSN is slowly now starting to take form, along with the release of Home and the Home web site. Trust me, it's going to get better from here on.

don't compare xbox live to psn. You actually have to pay for xbox live so it will obviously be far better. So no it's free you shouldn't be complaining. If you want a demo for every game out get the 360 and pay $50 it's that simple.

Well, first of all. i don't think this will turn into a "War".. if it does. there are still morons on the forums. whom it should be legal to shoot. Anyways, i get where you are coming from. and i feel kinda the same way. i mean, Trailers? why waste space on that when you have internet and probally a PC (it's 2007, if you don't have a pc, you must be dead) and since you wrote THAT much, my guess is that you do have a PC :P but anyways. what i was going to say was: We don't need the trailers, we can watch them on the PC if we want to. they should give out more demos instead, since i don't wanna waste space on a trailer for some game, that i already saw 2 months ago. it's a waste of space, and my precious time. there are a ton of games coming out for the PS3, why not tease us a little with some more demos instead of some 3 minute trailer we saw months ago?.... and that's my rant. lol. i think you'll agree to some of it. if not. then.. you suck :P (just kidding)

TC, do you think Xbox live and everything it is now became what it is overnight? obviously not. it was introduced last gen and continues on in this gen. therefore comparing a service that is less than a year old to one that is what...3 years old? is quite ridiculous.

I think it will be awhile for the PSN to get anywhere near the juggernaut Xbox Live status. I believe if they do charge for PSN, it would help. Money motivates. But since its free, the PSN can do whatever it wants, as slow as it wants, *sigh*. Just wait.

i think the PS3 is ahead of its time. Like The Warriors was when it came out in the 70's. I think with time everything will settle in. There will be games coming out consistently. The PSN will get content and it wont excite us like it does now cause we will be used to it. Developers will be used to working with PS3 and PSN and all its other features. Have you seen the new eye toy. HOLY CRAP its awesome

That, and, it's been out for how much longer; I'll take a guess and say that when XBL first came out, it was far from perfect..

I dont think your supposed to mention the other system by name in this forum which is why i say the "other system." But anyways live was better within a year, not as good as it is now but it was better within a year of launch. Im not comparing psn to what live is now, im comparing it to the same time frame.

Just to add to that, my friend got live 6months after it came out and there was a demo for every arcade game, because i played the gauntlet arcade game demo.

You only pay for online multiplayer. Demos, videos, etc. are free on live.

So, basically, you pay $600 not to play full games, but instead to expect arcade games and demos to keep you entertained? Sure, a few are fun, but I'd rather stick to playing my Rainbow Six instead of messing around with NCAA football demos.

damn were people like this back in the ps2 days? shoot i was content with the demo disc every now and then. Actually damn excited. If xbox live never started this demo service i seriously doubt we'd be having this discussion. Its simply ridiculous. Thios is a FREE service. Sony is giving you demos and videos that they are not OBLIGATED to do. I dont care how many times u have to hear it. BE THANKFUL FOR WHAT YOU GET!!

What you and so many people dont seem to get is that getting demos, videos and whatever that, according to you, were not obligated to get is free on BOTH systems. If i didnt have a live paid membership i could still get all that stuff. You only pay for multiplayer online. And your right live probably did open a can of worms that we've never would have noticed before. But its open now!

Anyone who says "don't compare to XBL, you gotta pay." You can get a silver membership for free, which allows you to get demos, games etc.:|

Im not dumb, I own an xbox and know how it works. A silver membership allows you to download demos a week after gold members. That wasnt the main point of my post. The point was that MS and Sony dont have to give you a damb thing. Shoot, if your gunna get angry, at least get angry at the right companies. Its not up to sony to get demos from other parties. They deal with their own games and theyve already announced they are coming. I just find it sad that people still get mad at something so stupid. Go play your games, a demo wont keep you entertained for long. And its not like there are any upcoming games that are worth releasing demos

Correction: Its not sony's OR microsofts place to go to other companies and get demos but one of them does it anyway

A demo is not designed nor was i expecting it to keep me occupied for long i just want to test the waters like everyone else

No upcoming games or games out worth checking? The truth is that you dont know that till you try the games on a, guess what, DEMO!

Actually in order for MS and Sony to succeed they would need to give customers "things" for customers are the reason they are in the business for customers have the money. Saying that they don't need to give us a damn thing is just stupid for gamers are the ones that buy the games and by offering these demos and "free" stuff increases customer loyalty and spending. I find it sad that people passively accept and defend medicority from companies especially when the competition offers are significantly better.

Except you don't need to pay anything for XBL demos . XBL Live Silver is free and you can still get demos.

u dont have to payto get every demo on xboxlive. if u pay u get to play games online and get the new demos sooner then the free version of xboxlive.

i agree with tc. it would be nice to be able to try out all psn games be4 i buy em.ied like to see the wallpaper and the hs art stuff stop and see some new vidoes of new games instead. ied also like to sony somehow make downloads speed up to at least half the rate of u know who`s downloads..

Have to agree with this guy, i've had a ps3 since the release and I am pretty dissapointed. The good games we have got are older games from xbox nothing exclusive to sony, and they say 65 games by Christmas? I find that really hard to believe and say 20-30 at most will happen and lets not forget about these wonderful delays. I'm at the point where i'm looking at a wii or "sigh" xbox... probably gonna go for a wii though, i've heard no complaints about it really and it seems to have some good stuff on it, only downfall is alot of it is more kid games then anything. I'm going to hold out myself till around November, if sony steps up like there supposed to then i'll stick but if not then sony will never see another dime from me, you spend 700 on a system and they take there sweet ass time trying to satisfy the costomer, not sure if sony knows this but the customer is always right and I think it's the costomer who deserves some sasifaction instead of coming online to complain about what we got... but again this is my opinion don't hold it against me :o)

When did you buy your PS3? Imagine the kid that gets his PS3 this xmas for the first time. Do you think that his experience with the PS3, PSN, HOME, games, etc....will be better than someone that got the PS3 on launch? I think so. Have a little perspective.

When will people this through their thick heads? You don't need to pay for XBL silver, which allows you to get arcade games, demos, and many other features, only online play is the thing that costs money.

The "give it time things will get better" is over now, a company this big shouldnt need that much time to get more content on there store.

I really and sincerly hope this doesnt turn into a war and i get only intelligent comments whether you agree or disagree. But the Bottom line is: Things are only gonna get better when we start expressing to the company that we want better and stop acting like everything is ok! And why does it seem like the europe, usa, and japan psn's are competing for demos instead of being the same company.

P.S. You can check my history to see that I actually prefer playstation and im not here trolling.

Let me start by saying that a forum is a place where you come to express your oppinion good or bad, among other things.

With that said i just want to say the playstation network update today was not good. Granted ive been waiting for the folklore demo and im happy i can get it now, but im tired of making myself feel better by saying at least ive got something.

I am sick of the "sony have less experience whaaa whaaa!" rubbish from the the blind fanboys. PSN is a joke, wake up already. You can say sony haven't had as much time as you like but they had YEARS of planning this thing before the launch of the PS3 AND they also boasted many times how their service would be better than live, HAHAHAHAHA!!! Ihn their dreams!

If it meant I got a service on the PS3 like M$ gives for the lousy $70 a year ow whatever it is here, I would gladly pay it!! As they say, you get what you pay for and right now, we are getting **** all from PSN!

You actually have to pay for xbox live so it will obviously be far better. So no it's free you shouldn't be complaining.Snake_915

God forbid he already payed 600 dollars for the system. And it shouldn't be completely beyond Sony's power to provide a better multiplayer experience (or at least one that will let you actually respond to a message without completely quiting out of a game) just because it's free. If Sony could work out the kinks to PSN and get it on par with Microsoft's Xbox Live. I'd gladly pay for it.

I mean come on. 50 dollars for a year of Xbox Live/PSN is not hard to come by.

Well I'll be, Austin is God said the exact same thing as me. People who use common sense think alike, as they say.

[QUOTE="Snake_915"]don't compare xbox live to psn. You actually have to pay for xbox live so it will obviously be far better. So no it's free you shouldn't be complaining. If you want a demo for every game out get the 360 and pay $50 it's that simple.rahstar

You only pay for online multiplayer. Demos, videos, etc. are free on live.

That's true...but then just comparing gold to all of PSN wouldn't work, so I think we should compare the whole package.

To the TC, XBL isn't "far" better. It's not even better. I mean, demos are cool, but are they worth 50 bucks a year? Would you really rather have XBL, pay money and have no dedicated servers? PSN's getting more demos, and even if for the rest of this gen i don't get as many demos as XBL, I'm still not going to pay for them, especially when home adds a lot of community functionality that's missing from PSN.

You trying to make yourself feel better by saying "You got something" is your own fault. Just be satisfied with what sony IS giving us. All some of your bring the the threads are whinning and meaningless complaints. You guys set yourself up for defeat when you hype yourself up for hot updates. We're still in the crawling phase of the ps3 and you guys are expecting it to run marathons. Let it live, let it breathe.

Ok people lets try to keep a cool head. Things started off calm and intelligent now it seems to be getting a little heated and im not speaking about the person im quoting^^^^

Now on to the person im quoting. The part in your post i have highlighted is a total contradiction. You tell me saying that is my own fault but then you say the same thing in a different way, wow! I do not believe im wrong for expecting more from the psn. You guys keep saying why compare live to psn when live has 3years or what ever on the psn. FOR THE LAST TIME, i am not doing that. Live six months after the 360 was released was better than the psn now as far as demos and content that they offer for free. The only thing you have to pay for is multiplayer which is a knock on the other system, i agree. Being free is no excuse for lack of demos for there own sponsored games at least!

I think this post is outstanding. I wish Sony would get it together. Demos are basically free advertisement for games. People play them and could sway someone into buying a game they wouldn't have before. They should have a demo for every single game possible coming out including arcade. While I amat it, WHERE THE ^&%$ IS MY TEKKEN ONLINE?? It has been out for months in other coutries. Sony needs to get more content out there. Next month the craziness starts for the holiday season.

How much time do you think it takes to put up demos of your own games.

Well first of all xbox live isn't even 5 years old yet, it will be 5 years old this November since it launched a year after the original xbox.... Sony had Playstation online in those days but apparently they didn't think online gaming was the future since they didn't take the time to develop it like MS... Thats the main difference MS took time to develop their network while sony pretty much enjoyed their sells...

Thus sony's current situation. Also the main reason that PSN doesn't have the demos like XBL is that sony charges publishers to host their demos, whereas on XBL its FREE... So you see somebody has to pay for this stuff somewhere down the line, be it the end consumers or the publishers. The 50/year takes care of all that... And since there isn't much of a user base for the PS3 right now publishers don't have much of an incentive to pay to put those demos on PSN when XBL will host them for free and to a much larger audience

This is just so everybody understand Xbox Live. You only have to play $50 to play online but it is free for all the demos and trailers. That is why there is a Gold account and a Silver account. In all, Sony lagged last gen in getting the online together and now they are really behind and trying their best to match up. It just takes time.

here what i think they should do. Some people are willing to pay, some aren't. They should allow people to pay a monthly fee, but make it NOT mandatory. make it like a 2 dollar monthly fee, but you dont need to pay it. I fyou pay it, you may get some stuff alittle faster, or exclusive stuff, maybe incresed chances to getinot some betas. But dont take away from tholse who dont pay.
