No link, copy and paste.
Cool beans even if you don’t add the HTML it still shows up as a clickable link, go figure.
Killzone 2 is a fantastic game but online would be a ton better if they lowered the players to 24. 32 is just a cluster F of people running around everywhere and made me go back to Bad Company.
2.7 is coming soon, right….right…?

Things that matter most:
Universal Game Invites
Voice Messaging
Private Chat in-game
Allow two or more users to sign on PSN the same time and let them both get trophies
Add Optional sound to notifications so when you are focused on the middle of the screen you know you got a new message or someone came online
symbols and numbers that represent friends online and messages sent somewhere on the XMB and beside message box
Auto Sync Trophies
More options on profiles
Report feature to report users, cheaters etc.
Faster loading XMB and profiles
More developed profiles
When you recieve a message you should be able to push the PSN button for it to automatically pop up as long as the notification is still there.
Friend Request should go on the top of the friends list instead of the bottom
Less:
View your friends’s friends
More Avatars
More details on what your friends are doing
XMB for PS2 games and movies
group friends like how u can group instant messaging friends( to oraganize people you met from certain games, online, school, etc.)
Join friend’s game button
More Color, everything is black and gray
Hey Jeff, hope you’re having a great weekend. Just wondering what ever happened to the Killzone 2 application that was supposed to come out in the store? We were supposed to be able to get an “indepth” view into the KZ2 commercial. Thanks!
@4
Have you tried consumer services?
Complaining here wont do a damn thing
go to the ps3 website and find consumer services
Lots of things to read this week what with GDC and all. Shame that we still don’t have new PSN Avatars though…
I have many times D=. Sony claims( in interviews) they listen to their readers through their blog which is why I post it here :).
@ phinnv8
I’m sorry but that’s such a sht excuse. There’s rooms where the max people is 24, and many of them show up everytime I do a search. If you don’t like the game or aren’t that very good at it say so don’t make up excuses, it’s not needed. They have room sizes that range from 1-32 and I always find rooms in any size.
yeah about the 32 people being too much. I usually pick rooms with 16 max just so the games last longer if it’s on 100 kill bodycount
Already submitted my R&C weapon design. :)
I want a video of firmware 2.70 please and features of 2.70 .
Leaked gameplay of Uncharted 2 HURRY!

Great Week Jeff! I was really happy with all the stuff i saw at GDC this year (even though i live in Canada) and i can’t wait for E3!
I heard there might be a new Metal Gear!! hopefully it (if any) will be announced soon!
i cant really find any info about PJE Encore… I bought PJE, is there gonna be an add on pack i can buy or would i have to rebuy the game for new content?
Im not gonna rebuy the game but would get the DLC if it was free/reasonably priced
Hey there Chris. Thanks for the Blog meet up. Had a blast. Taking home the MGS4 Bundle was more than awesome.
