You may recall our short outage last week; we were messing around with the servers here at PlayStation Central Command. By doing [whatever it is the engineers have done], we’ve enabled some new functionality. Reading the comments, a few of you have figured it out – the PlayStation.Blog is now mobile compatible.
The next time you head over to the blog from your PSP, Blackberry, or iPhone (or probably whatever mobile device you’re running, assuming it’s newer than a Star-tac), you’ll see a specially formatted, easy to read (and load!) version of the Blog. You can even comment; now you can tell us what you think from the comfort of your office restroom!
There’s no special URL to go to, just hit up the normal http://blog.us.playstation.com address, and our patented Internet Gnomes will do the rest. Please let us know if you’re experiencing any compatibility issues, and we’ll flog the Gnomes a little harder. It’s ok, they deserve it :-)

Cool!
Does it go to this page when entering the URL on the PS3 browser or is it the same old blog?
Jeff Rubenstein replied on June 29, 2009 at 9:12 am
We’ve actually optimized the code with the PS3 browser, so it should render out cleanly. Let us know if you have any issues.

This is great on the psp, I check the blog at school with it and now its easier than ever.

xKOROSHIYAx | June 29th, 2009 at 6:31 am
I noticed this a few days ago. Thanks, it makes it so much easier to read on the iPhone without having to zoom in. The page loads a hell of a lot faster too.

ghamdikh1 | June 29th, 2009 at 6:31 am
@Jeff Rubenstein
think you Jeff for the update.
now can i ask you about the ps BLOG prodcaist
is it coming soon??????????????
Jeff Rubenstein replied on June 29, 2009 at 9:14 am
I’m thinking that the PS Eye chat could become the “podcast”. Let’s see where it leads.

SeventhAxes | June 29th, 2009 at 6:33 am
Freaking sweet! Going to the restroom now to check it out!

Very much appreciated!

rafael_martines | June 29th, 2009 at 6:36 am
Opera on Wii
Internet Explorer on XBOX360? :p
Would be good Firefox for PS3… Mozila AND Sony Playstation 3… Good Idea!
19
mAttRAsss | June 29th, 2009 at 6:37 am
this is cool but can you hurry up and put marvel vs capcom 2 on the psn so i can download it thanks!
20
footballrule | June 29th, 2009 at 6:37 am
will thi be like the psp browser? let me remind you that the psp browser was worse hen the ps3 browser. thats why i got a laptop in the first place.
21
rafael_martines | June 29th, 2009 at 6:38 am
Opera on Wii…
IE on 360?
Firefox on Playstation 3!?!?!?!
Mozilla AND Sony… Would be Greate!

rafael_martines | June 29th, 2009 at 6:39 am
I have a problem when i post a comment here…

joseph2411 | June 29th, 2009 at 6:42 am
This is great. Now we only need an official podcast for all things PlayStation coming directly from the PlayStation Central Command with Gnomes included.
24
ROLO_ONFIRE | June 29th, 2009 at 6:42 am
lol, why didn’t you used a PSP screenshot rather than an iPhone?
Jeff Rubenstein replied on June 29, 2009 at 9:16 am
Because more people use iPhones to visit our site than any other mobile method (we can see that behind the scenes).
25
WanderingClump | June 29th, 2009 at 6:43 am
@lx-Red-xl I agree it’s very sad that Sony are promoting the use of this feature through the Apple iPhone. Next SONY will be telling us that the iPhone is better at music, video and games!
Come on Sony, you’re slipping behind!
26
mooks_fanboy | June 29th, 2009 at 6:43 am
Whatever you do, do net let the gnomes unionize. We had a similar problem with the oompa loompas at our office…

drdre74 | June 29th, 2009 at 6:43 am
I liked viewing the blog like normal on my Ipod touch I hate this simple cell phone version. Is there a way to view the blog like before and how i see it on my computer?

Seiven | June 29th, 2009 at 6:49 am
Yeah!!!! Posting from my iPod Touch

Raptors138 | June 29th, 2009 at 6:50 am
Sweet news, I used to always check the block on my psp, but then it stopped working.
Glad to hear that it’s gonna work again.

longmeat | June 29th, 2009 at 6:52 am
Works pretty good. Here’s some suggestions:
1) resize pics so they fit on the phones screen. I’m on my iPhone and the iPhone pic on this page only shows about 25% of the left side.
2) make the input text box bigger. The font is really small for some reason
3) create a mobile version of the psn sign in page. It’s still the same size on mobile browsers as it is on a computer.
4) make the rest of psn mobile. I wanna be able to see my trophies and stuff from my mobile phone.
So far good job!

Seiven | June 29th, 2009 at 6:52 am
@#8 actually seems much faster loading

Jeigh | June 29th, 2009 at 7:01 am
Awesomeness. But be nice to your Internet gnomes! XD
(Honestly, after all they’ve faced, I think it’s about time they throw of the yoke of oppression and rise up against their masters! …I’ll be their leader… and then I’ll rule the Internetz! Muhahahaha!)

MakulaTolkien | June 29th, 2009 at 7:03 am
Good to hear this, I’m currently reading the blog from my iPhone.
is there any hope to see you guys making a PS blog application for the iPhone? maybe an application that show us the PSN updates and all the blog info by organize them with tags for every game and writter.. that would be cool and I would be willing to pay for it, I dunno maybe like $1.99 or hopefully $0.99
Jeff Rubenstein replied on June 29, 2009 at 9:18 am
Hadn’t really considered it… Any other takers?
34
kalel52 | June 29th, 2009 at 7:05 am
I am using both the blackberry browser or Opera mini. The update doesnt allow you to sign in to post comments. Any way to fix this? Also will the Playstation forums be formatted for mobile use?
Jeff Rubenstein replied on June 29, 2009 at 9:19 am
No plans for the forums. We’ll look into the Opera browser – that’s what I use on the Blackberry as well.
35
righello | June 29th, 2009 at 7:05 am
It’s nice,–thank you! But, could you make it more like the original site.
Also, someone should really do something about Playstation®Store: It looks, and sounds annoying!! You can do it!! Use your patented work Gnomes, if not.
There are plenty of good examples to look up to, if needed.. lol

kalel52 | June 29th, 2009 at 7:07 am
I am unable to sign in to either the Blackberry Internet browser or Opera Mini to post comments. Is there a way to fix this? Also will the Playstation forums be fixed for mobile use?

Playstation Blog on PSP loads really slow so heres my suggestion:
1) Make PSP version load faster
39
S-E-G | June 29th, 2009 at 7:11 am
wow, now there’s a good way to sell psp’s, put an iphone image on the playstation blog, sony where do you find these people? i would rather see a psp image there instead of an iphone and i’m sure sony would also. i guess you weren’t kidding jeff when you said you were gonna clean out your desk, has apple made you an offer?

Ancalagon | June 29th, 2009 at 7:11 am
Excelent improvement! First comment from my office’s rr :)
thanks for it!
41
Korbei83 | June 29th, 2009 at 7:16 am
I noticed that last week. Definitely appreciated, though I was also glad to see the full version still available on mobile. If only iPhone supported flash. (Not that I blame Apple for the lack of support, nor the blog for using flash.)

zombie9 | June 29th, 2009 at 7:19 am
PSP needs keyboard other wise I stay with PS3. But it is cool to get news where ever you go!!!! :)

MMaLuFF | June 29th, 2009 at 7:22 am
Dear Mr. Rubenstein,
Do you have any idea when the Brazilian PSN will be lauched? and if the DLC will be area 1?
Congratulations for the “mobile blog” great Idea.
Best regards

RyuPower | June 29th, 2009 at 7:23 am

Noted, I’ll have the team look into this.

cowboyd21 | June 29th, 2009 at 7:23 am
@ 25 lol i don’t see how this feature will put sony back or slipping if you look at the big picture it will grow there audience . the more new people means profit . every week they will see new games , features about sony so i just don’t see how they “ slipping ”.

Vengeful-Chaos | June 29th, 2009 at 7:26 am

jaeman | June 29th, 2009 at 7:27 am
