  • fift!!!

  • For the soul calibur 4 ost, is that for use in-game only or are they mp3s that I can listen to in the xmb?

    • The tracks are playable within the game. From Namco Bandai: \”Go to the OPTION menu and select STAGE MUSIC SETTINGS to play the music once purchased.\”

  • Hey! Jack at E3 said Life with Playstation was coming this month :\

    Uh…what happened?

    Oh and Eden is mine!

  • thank you.

  • Still no PS1 classics?

    Where’s the love?

    I want to play Rainbow Six and/or MGS, Please.

  • What happened to Life with Playstation? Jack Tretton said it would be available by the end of the month, well it’s the end of the month.

  • Nice update, was looking for the Lego game demo. Live had it for awhile now.

  • jep … life with playstatin.. another promise of Sony is broke… thank you … really thank you, Sony… Happy 1st of August….

  • Also, nothing for the PC store, what’s up with that?

  • Great update this week.

    I am so pumped for Pixel Junk Eden.

    I enjoyed the demo so much.

    Q-games rocks!!!

  • Grace is there anyway to let us know whats new in the Video Store?

  • Update still not live…

  • MORE PSOne Classics please.

  • Cool update, I thought we weren’t going to receive the Facebreakers demo until later? Finally, I will have a second title under the list of games that I have trophies in!

  • And I have to send in my PS3. D=

  • Not bad overall. More PS1 games please :)

  • Nice. Could you update us on the PLAYSTATION EDU program? I mean a blog post telling us more about it, and eventually listing all faculties proposing the program, in US and EUROPE

  • Where’s Life with Playstation, which was promised by the end of July?

    Is Delaystation living up to it’s name once again?

  • I WANT MY LIFE WITH PLAYSTATION!!! I wonder what life would be like united with it…:(

  • Great update! Eden is sooooooooo mine.

  • Pretty damn good update! PJ Eden FTW!!!! Awesome, awesome, awesome.

  • Nice update. But, GAH! No “Life with Playstation”? C’mon Sony stop lying and give us a real release date next time please.

  • The US version of Piyotama is still missing one skin compared to the Japanese version. Would it be possible to have this made available on the store at some point?

    If you load up the game you may notice that skin 01 is missing and only 02 -04 are present.

    Can you pass this along to someone in charge of this sort of thing?

  • “Nice update. But, GAH! No “Life with Playstation”? C’mon Sony stop lying and give us a real release date next time please.”

    Good point. I thought we were supposed to see this by the end of the month? Come on . . . you guys were doing good for quite sometime; don’t start this delaying things crap again.

  • Oh COME ON guys! You didnt see this coming? Of course Sony would delay Life with PlayStation, like everything else PlayStation Related. :|

  • w00t eden!

    nice update :)

  • Nice Update. Time for me to kill some bandwidth. :)

    Also, are you guys ever going to offer a subscription deal for the video store? I still feel like we have been left out when it comes to details about the video store.

    I would like to take this time to request Comedy Central as a network too. I guess you guys will be introducing new studios and networks in the future. I hope so. Anyway keep up the good work.

  • HA HA. Sony can never keep promises. What Sony needs to do is, NOT OPEN ITS BIG MOUTH IN ANY CONFERENCE ABOUT RELEASE DATES OF THINGS.

    Jack Says, Life with playstation available in the end of the month. WHAT Month? this month, next month? I guess not this month because 31 of July is the last day of the month. THANKS AGAIN SONY for keeping up your BROKEN PROMISES record. Boo!!!

  • One suggestion: Can you guys update PS Store with new contents early in the morning instead of in the afternoon?

    And what’s up with PS Video Store? The movies and TV shows are updated on random days… You guys need to atleast inform us what new movies and TV shows you guys are adding.

  • WOOOHOOO Eden is out ^_^

    Now, any words on the now LATE [broken promise] Life with PlayStation?

  • my launch 60- gig PS3 has come along way, and it’s gotten better and better with every firmware update! I can almost see the day when

    i actually have everything i could possibly want with my all-in-one home entertainment center…I really don’t want to sound

    ungrateful, i really appreciate the level of innovation you guys have brought us consistantly since launch day! Thank you!

    There are, however, just a few more nagging issues that need to be addressed before my baby is all grown up, so without further ado,

    here is

    *

    *********
    *******************

    ++/Frito’s *Top Ten* Firmware/PS3 update wishlist!\++

    1) ~MORE MUSIC VISUALIZATIONS!~

    It’s time for some new ones! i love the 2 we have, but cmon!

    And is it possible to be able to manipulate the visualizations like on the “other” systems? I know we can switch to the next effect

    with the analog sticks, but it would be neat to be able to rotate and zoom in/out, change color, speed of flow, etc. etc… even the

    PSone had that great ability…

    and it would be GREAT to have the option to leave it on one setting of visualization instead of having it eventually phase to the next

    effect..sometimes the one is perfect for the situation.. ( we spend alot of time listening to music streamed from my computer:) )

    2) ~More In-Depth Profiles~

    Allow our awesome new online profiles to be even more detailed, so friends can see stuff like what games we own so we can better invite

    people, what type of music/movies/games we like, what model PS3 we have, etc. etc.! our profiles feel so cold and impersonal! Maybe

    while group chatting, one person could host a streaming song for everyone to listen to whilst theu converse..Social Networking baby!

    It’s all the rage with those darn kids nowadays! lol

    3)~Friends Online Activity Indicator is Overkill!~

    allow us to turn off the option to see the pop-up notification when the people on our friends list go offline and back online all the

    time, it’s so annoying having it repeatedly pop up over movies i’m watching!! it really distracts from the experience of blu-ray! I

    know i can just go offline, but geez! (if there IS an existing way to fix this and still stay online, let me know!)

    4) ~In Game Soundtracks/Streaming Playlists Mandatory For All New Games!~

    you hear it all the time-people want this option!

    PLEASE allow streaming music from our Network computers and music from USB flash drives to play as custom soundtracks! that would be

    awesome! (it can save HD space, waaaaaay more songs onthe computer, etc. etc.)

    5) ~Timed Shutoffs for Controllers and Sleep Timer mode for PS3~

    Allow us to have a timed shut off for our controllers that we can set, like after 5 min, 10, 20 etc. etc. after no controller

    activity..it will save our battery life!. also a sleep function for the PS3 itself, so we can watch a Blu-Ray movie without fear of

    falling asleep!

    …Or even an option where after so much inactivity, the game/movie/song quits and launches into Folding@Home and auto starts a new

    work unit..just ideas!

    6) ~Fix the PS3 Web Browser!~

    the PS3’s dirty secret! Please Allow flash v9! We can’t even watch videos on these very blogs or surf reliably with the PS3 browser

    without it crashing…wtf?

    7)~Fix Backwards Compatibility~

    with the 60 gig launch unit in particular! alot of PS2 games still look horrible! ( like Final Fantasy 12 )

    Early adopters like myself paid $700+ at launch and still have not seen this issue resolved. I know Tretton said no to any more BC in

    the new 80 gig SKU’s, but why not stick with what you guys DID do, and finish the job, please!

    8)~Fix the EyeCreate SOftware~

    fix the stop-motion animation “snapshot” function in EyeCreate software to allow smaller bits of time, instead of having to manually

    cut EACH and EVERY little frame, it takes an average of 1000+ for a 5 minute movie! then we can have a PS3 blog movie festival!

    9)~Bring Play TV to the US!~

    ’nuff said.

    10)~Video Store Atrocities~

    Cmon guys, either lower the price of rentals at the new movie store, or extend the viewing time/limits…it’s embarassing! sorry, it had

    to be said. I’m excited about using the store, but i can rent them cheaper, keep them longer, and watch them as many times as i want

    at a traditional store or with NetFlix! You have to make us WANT to rent! Just because it’s there isn’t enough reason..

  • I’m feeling a little disappointed still for the lack of ‘LwP’. I expect you release it at least the next week.

  • awesome, thanks for the update

  • Wonderful update. Eden is going to be downloaded ASAP…

  • EDEN already?!… WooT WooT!!

    I want Einhander for PSN/PS1 download, please thank you.

  • @31

    I wanna know too, I want a monthly subscription fee for unlimited rental downloads. Also they need to update more often with more movies and TV Shows and actually give us more movie previews and options to either buy or rent the movies (only a few have this option)…and complete TV Shows packages and not broken up seasons with missing episodes.

    AND GIVE US SOME GOOD PSONE CLASSICS PLEASE.

  • SONY Seems to be sinking deeper into the dark ocean. WHAT ARE YOU DOING SONY!!!! SONY needs to come back from the darkness and bring back the OLD SONY from PS1 and PS2 era. BROKEN PROMISES, LATE Stuff, DELAYS. COME ON!!!!

  • I’ve been looking forward to Life With PlayStation ever since I first heard about it. I’m very disappointed that you guys aren’t using your blog to reassure us about it.

    You missed a projected release date? Fine. Why not tell us about it? The blog should be used for more than just bringing crafted marketing messages to us. That’s not what a blog is meant to be.

    Don’t you guys have one community relations person who can help out with things like this?

  • Great update! Downloading Eden right now :) Any news on Life with Playstation?

  • I would love to rent movies from PS Store but SONY Blocks your IP address, even though you are American with an American credit card and American home address. Just because am overseas in Germany, I can not download movies. Stupid. I rent movies from iTunes from Germany using my American credit card and Home address with no problem. If SONY wants my money, they need to use iTunes model of Video Rental distribution. Apple is making extra money by support Americans overseas.

  • huh? not sure why my previous post got all chopped up like that, it put spaces inbetween some of my sentences..

    must have something to do with the blog error when posting we are all getting lately.

  • Aren’t you missing the game snakeball?

  • Any news on when No Gravity will come out on the US servers. All I have heard so far is that it should be coming out soon on the Europe Servers. From what I have seen from the trailers the game looks like a nice one.
    I really want to get some new games for the PSP and that looks like it would be a lot of fun. So if you have any news on it I would be thankful.

  • saintfighteraqua

    Oh my goodness! Awesome update! Sorry, but I have to go and get downloading asap!

  • Hmm… Sony, you really are ticking ALOT of people off. Do something and do it quick.
    Also, do it RIGHT.
    I love Sony, and I dont want to switch to Microsoft or Nintendo.
    Do SOMETHING right Sony.
