@Raptors138
@DVS aRtiSt
@GAM3R_16
@Zaivset
is that the only thing you want to ask Jeff for a stupid song rather than ask him a bout more exclusive games for the console.

lakaihigh  |  July 19th, 2008 at 7:30 pm

@ ghamdikh1 - everyone over at the forums has been pulling together to figure out what this song is with no such luck. so to answer your question, yes we are asking what the ’stupid’ song is. geesh man. we can ask what we want so shove off.

and oh yeah, the song isn’t that stupid, seeing as how it was part of an E3 trailer for Sonys consoles.

peace,
Lh

Raptors138  |  July 19th, 2008 at 7:32 pm

@52

Yes, we all are wondering what this song is.

And we’re not crying, we’re asking if Jeff can tell us, if it’s an underground band or not.

So dude, chill, don’t calling people crying babies.

I’m sure that if you were part of the oh say…hundreds of people that have tried to find this song, you would be questioning jeff too.

And I don’t really care much for exclusives now. I know whats coming out, and I’m excited about that.

Ed187  |  July 19th, 2008 at 7:47 pm

What was the name of the opening song at E3?

Ed187  |  July 19th, 2008 at 7:49 pm

What was the song?

elorm9  |  July 19th, 2008 at 7:51 pm

@52

You do realize that’s exclusives require money, time, and resources while telling us a “stupid song” just requires one keyboard right?

KazeEternal  |  July 19th, 2008 at 7:56 pm

Questions *sigh*

1) Can we look forward to major RPG announcements at Squares big show on the first week of August.

2) Will Leipzig have any RPGs

3) will Tokyo Game Show have any surprises…. like RPGs

4) Now that the 2nd Gen 80 gig has been announced to have no BC will those of us with BC consoles get ousted on future updates for features like InGame XMB for PS2 and Ps1 titles.

5) God of War 3?

6) Song in the Family Sizzle Video? yes I too want to know.

7) PS Music Store?

Yearly subscription service for rentals?

9) Plans for Firmware 3.0?

10) Favorite Italian Dish?

Have fun with those jeff ^^.

nr1079  |  July 19th, 2008 at 7:58 pm

Agreed. Im smart enough to watch e3 and search the internet to know which games are coming. Besides ghamdikh1, Jeff said hes working on answering the reauest/questions, and the name of the opening song seems to be the most requested info amongst any e3 form.
Where just leting sony know that we are relying on them to provide the song.

NewYork214  |  July 19th, 2008 at 8:43 pm

wow people really want that song lol. ill have to watch the opening of Sony’s E3 when i turn my PS3 back on to see whats so good about it.

hey jeff any word on white knight story? was expecting it to be at E3. in my top 5 most wanted games. need some new info

Araskaz  |  July 19th, 2008 at 9:03 pm

Jeff please help us get the song I’ll pay so much money for that album haha.

Araskaz  |  July 19th, 2008 at 9:05 pm

@52

Uhhh yeah lets ask him if there is another exclusive so he can not respond because he isnt suppose to tell us. But, instead we ask him something we really want and is attainable and you think your better because you dont like the song? I’ve been searching for this song ever since Sony’s conference… and apparently so has everyone else. Get over yourself kid.

Supercoolboy13  |  July 19th, 2008 at 9:31 pm

yeah iv been searching for a couple of days know for this song and no luck

PS fanboy  |  July 19th, 2008 at 9:47 pm

WHEN IS THE VIDEO STORE COMING 2 CANADA?
PLEASE JEFF JUST GIVE ME SOME ANSWER!

lakaihigh  |  July 19th, 2008 at 10:15 pm

@ ghamdikh1 -
PWNED
Sony PS bloggers - 9
ghamdikh1 - 0

that’s what you get for being a prick buddy. you had to start with the name calling!

but seriously we all want to know what that song is… thanks Jeff, or whoever can tell us.

peace,
Lh

elorm9  |  July 19th, 2008 at 10:20 pm

It would suck if Jeff was actually at a party, playing this same song we’ve been looking for, for ages

epacs  |  July 19th, 2008 at 10:46 pm

SONG PLOX

lakaihigh  |  July 19th, 2008 at 11:11 pm

my best guess is that he has no idea which song we are even talking about… but I’m sure someone over there has got to know.

cheers,
Lh

Shadow_Dancer  |  July 20th, 2008 at 12:09 am

I have to say E3 wasn’t all that great this year. Not enough announcements of new games. Guess we’ll have to wait till TGS?

…It’s made even worse when we hear announcements of a new 80GB console but STILL without BC and then we hear this:

SCEA CEO Jack Tretton said in a roundtable with journalists at E3 today that he would have liked to have had backwards compatibility in PlayStation 3, but the company has made its decision and is sticking with it.

He explained that Sony did “not take a greater hit on production cost without losing PlayStation’s heritage” and that backwards compatibility “wasn’t all that expensive.”

“But we’re selling PS2 software to PS2 customers, and selling PS3 software to PS3 consumers,” he added.

“I would like to have had it in there, but Sony’s collective strategy determined we could afford to lose it. We’ve now gone down that road: we’re not going back.”

So in other words Sony is saying “We can afford it, it’s easy to implement, thousands of people want it and are holding off buying a PS3 because of it, but we’ve made our minds up and that’s that”. In other words Sony are being stubborn. So much for listening to your consumers. Makes you wonder what this blog is for.

fullyshadow  |  July 20th, 2008 at 1:08 am

i just heard the song, and i see why everyone wants it..

IT KICKS ASS!

btw a little off topic.but i recently been playing PaRappa The Rapper on my psp, and realize this would make a terrific PSN title. maybe ParRappa The Rapper 3? just an idea!

WHAT  |  July 20th, 2008 at 3:00 am

A blog by SCEA for PlayStation fans.

The blog was not this week. Next time, lets sit the developers by the fireplace. Give them a pipe, a red robe, and let them talk about sunflowers, rainbows, and purple ponies.

How about we avoid questions that can be answered with a quick Google search next time. Also, next time, special screen shots, game features, and game play videos might be nice. This blog has about 51 weeks of good stuff and both E3 weeks have lacked anything good.

baughgoth  |  July 20th, 2008 at 3:03 am

I would really appreciate just a little info on PSN cards, have they been indefinately put back, is there a date you have in mind to fully release them. Have they just been cancelled and no-one is getting new stock?

It’s been so long since there’s been any news, it would be nice to know so I’m not checking every now and again to see if they’re in Gamestop or Target or something yet.

Onna76_NL  |  July 20th, 2008 at 3:58 am

@Mistery, that’s just “lame”. Why can’t they just give you the name of the song. What the heck are they else doing there at customer service if they don’t wish to provide you with help?

N4G The Karate Kid  |  July 20th, 2008 at 4:23 am

I need some answers……….

1) Jeff many people are complaing because they ***CANNOT*** find the video store. Can you guys please add a seperate Icon on the XMB for the Video Store, so customers can easily find it?

2) Please add in a sound when someone sends you a friend request or friend invite

3) Can we please customize the In Game XMB

4) Please add a Video Playlist…………………….!

eric1018  |  July 20th, 2008 at 7:37 am

Any updates on the PSN Music Store??

beastbarbour  |  July 20th, 2008 at 7:54 am

i enjoy ed e3

Rubin  |  July 20th, 2008 at 9:05 am

@ghamdikh1

first, i didn’t even asked for the song’s name, i said it was uber, learn to read.

and second you’re the only one crying…

get a life.

joel  |  July 20th, 2008 at 9:30 am

Song? What song?

Anyhow sucks you left your wallet XD

hvy20  |  July 20th, 2008 at 10:11 am

@58
Cry me a river….
E3 was great, I enjoyed watching every minute. Sony DOES care…

DarkGeneral88  |  July 20th, 2008 at 10:42 am

@74
People actually can’t find the video portion of the store? No, I disagree with your suggestion everything doesn’t need to be made idiot proof. I don’t need more clutter on the XMB because some people can’t figure out the button next to game that says video changes to the video portion of the store.

@Jeff
Here is an idea to roll around with. I can only speak for myself but even with a form of high speed internet it still takes between 30 minutes or so to download demo of games so I don’t, but one or two. I don’t think I am the only one and as more people trying out the demos could possibly mean more sales of the games. My idea was that Sony let devs add one bronze trophy to the demos for those that want to do it. Again I can only talk for myself here but I know I would be more willing to download demos and play them if I know it could contribute to my level.

Skater_Ricky  |  July 20th, 2008 at 10:43 am

Go play some games guys for a while it’s the weekend there is not going to be a response anytime tell MONDAY!

DarkGeneral88  |  July 20th, 2008 at 10:52 am

I just want to add to my comment #79

The layout can be the same for when the retail game comes out they are added to the already listed game but the demo trophy has demo next to the title of the trophy.

or..

If anymore tweaking of the layout there could be a separate section for demos so when you look at your trophies you can view retail or demo or when friends compare they can choose.

Personally I like the former idea as it’s more tidy.

Land Of Trill  |  July 20th, 2008 at 10:54 am

Hey I’m workin on the song for you guys I’ll figure it our mark my words.

Supercoolboy13  |  July 20th, 2008 at 11:18 am

@Land Of Trill
Good Luck Finding It

Land Of Trill  |  July 20th, 2008 at 11:20 am

ight thanks I’ll post it if I get it.

nr1079  |  July 20th, 2008 at 11:20 am

Hey Jeff, can sony provide the Sony E3 Press Conference Credits? I think that would be a simple way to answer many questions, exspecialy the song requests we keep asking for
Thanks.

PS fanboy  |  July 20th, 2008 at 11:21 am

Jeff is the vid store ony 4 the US PEOPLE?
whats d difference between d $399 80gb and d $499 80gb PS3? does that means i just wasted my $100 not w8ting 4 d cheaper one?

nr1079  |  July 20th, 2008 at 11:31 am

@PS fanboy
the differance betweent the two is that the $499 ps3 has 4 usb ports, flash card reader SACD support, and is ps2 compatable. Where as the $399.99 only has 2 USB ports, and none of the rest

Land Of Trill  |  July 20th, 2008 at 11:39 am

yes the video store is only for the US as of now.

Hummer3man  |  July 20th, 2008 at 12:51 pm

kur0saki22  |  July 20th, 2008 at 1:29 pm

Land Of Trill  |  July 20th, 2008 at 2:12 pm

Pyroman  |  July 21st, 2008 at 3:47 am

I hope you will fix the gravity…On the trailer we can see the characters flying or sliding,it’s pretty bad for a “blockbuster” …
