Hey Jeff,
Is there any way you could ask the devolpement team if they could do an update for the ps3 so you can delete trohy games in `my trophies`that you have 0% in.
Also to delete trophy games that you have some trophies in that way if you can`t get 100% in it and your a completionist.
Please reply, thanks. You never answer me.
+ Jeff Rubenstein on October 4th, 2009 at 1:26 pm said:
I don\’t think there are any current plans to implement this.

Naughty Dog looks to of cemented itself among the world elite developers if not being the top of the list.
It is incredible reading all the Uncharted 2 reviews, just under 2 weeks! :D
Amazing how epic the multiplayer is for the studio’s first stab at it.

prof. playstation.. is there any chance that you could ask sega if they will release the outrun 2006 coasttocoast playstation portable game to the store.. or if it would ever be feasable.
i did try to find it by like 08 gamestops this past year and none have it.

Can Sony explain the price weirdness of the PSP downloadable games? It seems inconsistent and messy.
Locoroco 1 is $23 or $22 and Locoroco 2 is $17 or $18. That’s just one example. I just don’t get it.
Some are way expensive and some are reasonable.

Jeff, could you please tell the PlayStation Store team that we’re still waiting for ‘free & premium’ PSN Avatars?
It’s been over a month!
Another question, will *God of War III E3 demo* be the same one that will be on the PS Store before GoW 3 releases?

Dear developers at naughty dog while drakes is a solid game at best there are a few areas ypu need to address the multiplayer to many options also fix up the aiming on the weapons its crap the best weapons are the pistols. Also i have been playing the beta whie its enjoyable its not a game i would play for the online i’m only playing it until borderlands comes out. Also i won’t buy it if you penalize people for quitting that would be the dumbest move ever you need to faction balance better so games your team is getting pounded and you have no choice but to quit to save your stats maybe a switch team modes and have bots on the other team like crash commando does

I’m only playing the demo this game is not a buy it’s a rent at best there are much better games to buy such as borderlands flashpoint dragon rising and the saboteur and ratchet and clank a crack in time battlefield bad company 2 and call of duty modernwarfare 2 while drakes is a solid game at best it’s not for the serious gamer. Me personally won’t buy this game it’s got a lot of problems from the badly designed weapons which was a problem in the last game that hasn’t been fixed poor sights on weapons so guys i know you at naughty dog put a lot of work in but drakes 2 is a dog of game

I have lost all interest in Trine. Releasing it between Uncharted 2 and Tekken 6 / Ratchet & Clank was a horrible idea.

Also Sensme doesn’t sense a single thing correctly. It’s got all my music in the wrong categories and I don’t see an option to manually add them to any group besides “favorites”

You guys need to be hyping Demon’s Souls. It’s bad enough that I have not yet seen one ad on Adult Swim yet. I doubt I ever will. But come on support the original games.
With the way you guys go on about Uncharted, it better be 100% perfect, not a SINGLE FLAW AT ALL.

hey psp no goers just though u all should know that jr.com currently has the 32gb ipod touch for 279.99 yep 279.99 yeah the new one. so for $30 more u get double the memory, touch screen, voice control accelerometer, a better web browser more third party support and it comes with the headset that has a built in mic. oh yeah and lets not forget the insane itunes app library which is essentially psp minis but without inflated prices. sorry sony but i will continue the death to the pspgo campaign as it is absurd. this system should cost less than the 3000 not more.

I really hope there is a great dynamic theme for Uncharted 2 either this week or next! The main page itself on the Uncharted 2 demo where you have to press start, would be a wonderful dynamic theme. I would happily pay that. At the very least a good standard Uncharted 2 theme.
Hope someone’s listening.
