Sony should:

-Update firmware to allow game chat, more multi-tasking features (in-game music), PS2 Software Emulation, etc.

-Pay Mozzilla (the company that made FireFox) to make a PS3 version of FireFox.

-Release GT5 already.. (or atleast a final release date).

Share your thoughts about what Sony should do

-make more 3d platformers that aren't Ratchet & Clank, Jak & Daxter, or Sly Cooper (nothing wrong with those, but I want new stories, new characters, and possibly new franchises).

Only thing I really want is ps2 compatibility, and for them to focus on releasing more great games instead of things not many people use on the psn. Oh and they should use chrome, not firefox. Would be much faster.

Personally, I'd like to see them release more well-recieved/rare games on the PSN. Sometimes I see their releases and think to myself "who was really hoping for bass fishing?" Come on, tons of PS1 games were really popular, why not focus on those. Maybe a few more Crash Bandicoots? How about Devil Dice? Also, I'd like to see them branch into PS2 games too, but I could think of a few problems with that. Still, though, picking up a rare PS2 game for $20 instead of $60 on EBAY would be rather nice.

100% agree with you. This so called PS1 classics they've been releasing lately are a joke.

Personally, I'd have kittens if they released the Viglilante 8's on the PSN! Come one, Sony, release the ones we liked/played for gods sake!

Release more PS2 collections. I have a backwards compatible PS2 but it can't play Jak II! I'd pay $60 for re-release of that game.

Yeah, they shouldn't listen to the people that give them their hard earned money. That's the mark of a stand up company. They DEFINITELY need to fix their browser. Why is it even there? I rarely use it. It's a pain the ass. You'd think after all these years they'd be like, hey, this browser is almost completely useless, maybe we should do something about it.

Im gonna risk my neck and say get rid of free online. XBOX online is just so much higher quality, if we payed for ours we would have enough money for all the stuff they get, like DLC before us and almost guaranteed lag-free servers. As long as its not more expensive than Live I'd definitely get it. No doubt about it. More expensive, and I'll get an XBOX :P

You actually think throwing money at it is magically going to make it better?

It's not going to matter if we do or don't pay. From all that I've heard about XBL, there isn't much difference at all. Paying for more than your ISP is BS. Maybe you have money to burn without thinking twice about it thinking it'll magically become "good", but some of us don't. Especially on top of already being over charged from your ISP. You can play online on dedicated servers for free on PC games and it's been free since it started. (excluding MMOs)

We already pay enough for this and their abuse with DLC. Not to mention, companies like EA trying to combat against us. If you want to be nickled and dimed to death, then go ahead and get your XBox.

I want a universal MP3 playback feature myself. It comes in handy for something like Fallout 3. I shouldn't have to rewire everything to get game audio and music in the same feed. I just can't believe we're still dealing with such a stupid issue with today's consoles in 2010. I'm pretty sure music playback won't take up that much resources during any kind of game.

yeah that sounds good. it's little things that they're plenty capable of doing. that's what makes it so frustrating.

Sony should do a heck of allot more software wise and firmware wise but they don't. Their software skills are lacking when it comes down to the PS3 dash. With such amazing technology inside the PS3, it just feels like it's going to waste with the current dull and boring dashboard that's called the XMB or whatever. So I see where the TC is coming from.

I did want this up until a couple of months ago. Some games would be ruined if you played your own music in them. Imagine Bioshock without the brailliant soundtrack. Also, at the the minute it's up to the developer if we can play custom soundtracks or not, not Sony. In fact, in some games you already can. I can understand why developers wouldn't want people playing their own music during the game they put a lot of effort into making the game feel how they wanted it to feel and give the played the experience they wanted to give.

How do you know that charging us for it will make it a better service? Sony is a huge company, I'm sure (if money was the only issue) they could invest a few million in online and get it up to the standard of Xbox Live. Then, and only then, should they start charging us.

From what you've heard? really? you're gonna bash my opinion because of things you've heard from 7-year olds on the internet? how about you try it then? Like I actually have, at great length? try both for an extended period of time and tell me you're not willing to pay $5 a month for the stuff M$ players get. seriously.

Btw, I currently don't have a job, so I don't have money to throw around. I only spend money on worthwhile purchases, like a better online experience on my favorite console ever.

SONY DOESN'T GET ANY INFLUENCE AT ALL ON THE PRICE OF DLC'S!!! That is ENTIRELY the DEVELOPER'S faults! AND XBOX owners pay the SAME amount WE do for DLC's!

not sure if you've heard, but Sony isn't rolling in the dough right now... in fact, they were close to bankruptcy around the time the recession hit.

I just want it during like a tedious grind or something where the music is not essential. Like if you're playing MW2 online and you want some music playing while you're shooting at people.

No, I'm not supporting your point, you didn't read what I said. And how would paying for it mean "we would have enough money for all the stuff they get," surely it would mean we had less money? They were no where near close to bankruptcy. They had massive losses but compared to the company's turnover they weren't a big issue.

How is it irrelevant? It might not be valid arguement (although I obviously believe it is) but it is still relevant to the discussion. That is a good point about multiplayer though.

He wasn't supporting your point - he was saying upgrade their servers FIRST, you know bring value to the customerand show us that it is something worth paying for, then charge for it. But honestly, other than cross game chat, I think the lack of host advantage on PS3 and the fact that it's free is a lot better than xbox live. The host advatage in games like COD4, MW2 and gears 2 is ridiculous. Halo seems to do fine 99% of the time though along with other games, but like you said, we do pay $50 a month, so there should be NO lag on xbox live.

Sorry for the rant. :) I guess the one thing that I pull out of it though is that I agree there should be cross game chat

The cross-game chat thing and an appear offline option.
