  • I’m rather concerned myself. Will NA PSN users be able to preorder Tales of Xillia? EU has had it for quite the time and I’d definitely like to see the same treatment for this region~

  • PixelJunk Monsters: Ultimate HD looks vaguely interesting. But STILL NOTHING in the way of AAAs (or anything remotely close) for PS Vita. If you expect to compete with Nintendo, you have got to actually release games on your portable Sony. See, I think that’d be obvious but it apparently isnt these days

  • @EVERYONE

    i´ve made folders that work preety good (for me at least) , all my games are in folders like this: PS3 FULL GAMES, CARS, RETRO, PS1, MOVE, WALKING DEAD (EPISODES) , BACK TO THE FUTURE, ETC.

  • @neuropank,

    Seriously, why you don’t create folders and put the games in alphabetical order? Like “PS3 – A”, “MINIS – A”, etc. This is a good reason to answer the question “Why no alphabetical order?”, well, maybe they add this, but it’s a bit of waste of time. Think about it, ok? xD

  • .finally!!!! .faT pRincess dlc!!! .sO much hype over LLamas.

    someone, chew on that. And see how clever I am. Been a long day at work.

    But in my life iI am happy and don’t need to pitch a fit. This world is so entitled. Shame really.

    keep it up sony your doing fine. Ignore unhappy souls.

  • @151 agreed. If we don’t get the option this tuesday, then Sony’s NA branch seriously fails.

  • @153 bany_rock – Why on this green Earth would you need a folder for the episodes of The Walking Dead: The Game? They’re all contained in one application.

    If you mean the show, shouldn’t that happen automatically under certain sorting options?

  • Lol ohh man that was fun reading all that debating. keep it up

  • Part of my comment got removed…why?..hu?….some people here uses even worse words…oh well just want to say that neuropunk usually says an insane amount of crap but he’s right about the sort feature on the download list….thats something really needed.

  • Wake up SONY Fallout3 for PSN :)

  • I agree with Neuropunk, we NEED a way to sort our games both in the XMB and in our dl history.
    This has been needed since day one, but I have hundreds and hundreds of pieces of dlc and it’s such a pain that it can’t be sorted.
    The XMB thing is an issue too, not as much for me, even though I have over one hundred things on my system. Please hear these complaints!

    @ Teflon02

    “you have a problem with People asking for Crash and Spyro for Vita!?”

    No. But around here I only see people DEMANDING it, not asking for it. That’s the problem. And this isn’t the right place for it either. It’s dumb.

    “How can someone be ungrateful for asking for something every other region has already?”

    Ungrateful for not appreciating the multitude of things they already have. Always wanting more. And won’t appreciate Crash and Spyro if they get them either. They’ll move on to the next thing to whine about. And have you ever thought there might be a legitimate reason why they haven’t been released in our region? Ever tried a little research? No? It’s just easier to pout like a brat and hope you somehow get your way, right? Dude, it’s just a video game. Nothing life or death serious going on here. You people are grotesquely spoiled.

    “Your problem is you contradict yourself in every way”

    No I didn’t. Please, highlight my contradictions if you can. But, speaking of contradictions, how about this one from you: “imagine how much PS3 would suck without consumer input (though they almost never listen)”. Oops!

  • @158

    Yes this has been the most amusing Drop I’ve read in awhile.

    Anyway, I’m going to watch Walking Dead now. Quick question.. How do I find it?

  • @neuropunk
    Did you really just compare yourself to MLK?
    your comments as usual (gamefaq)come off as more of a whine, not a constructive criticism.

  • ahrouncrinosxiii

    What was the second Nikoli game? I only see the one sudoku game…

  • After the 3rd attempt at typing how I feel about the PSN store and having my post be too long, here’s the short version.

    PSN store is miserable to use, so I try to avoid using it. It is slow, laggy, visually unappealing, and inconvenient. The old store is the total opposite, and as a result, I spent more time in there, which made me ultimately spend more money there, too. It was fast, easy, pleasant to look at, and convenient. If my feelings are shared by the majority of PS3 digital consumers, then Sony stands to profit much more effectively by reinstating the consumer-friendly, older version of the PSN store. I absolutely avoid the newer store as much as possible, and I definitely do not browse much when I do. It is a miserable experience every time.

  • I would like to see these things happen, if at all possible…

    – Older PS3 games full DLC catalogue. Some games never released pre-order or special edition DLC to the general public. For those of us who heard about the games way late or made a late purchase with expired codes, this is a big letdown. Star Wars The Force Unleashed 2 is a decent example of what I am talking about.

    – I would LOVE being able to choose which trophies are displayed on my PSN profile when other users view it. I do not normally like the most current trophies I get the most, and dislike displaying some of them.

    – MGRR skins. A Konami PR representative had a blog on this site where he answered our questions for a day. He promised us new DLC skins, as well as the pre-order bonus skins to be released for us. Since then, it has not been talked about, or delivered as promised. It would be nice to see this stuff appear in the store.

    – The ability to arrange game save and digital game icons how I prefer. I hardly care about such a petty and small thing, but it would be nice. Definitely a better improvement than whether or not I get trophy notifications. Stranger and more useless requests have been honored.

  • It would be really cool if we could buy XMB Icon Packages and change our XMB icons!

  • @46 The only Person worth Buying is Persona 4: Arena! Fighting Game FTW!

  • @46 The only Persona Game worth buying is Persona 4: Arena! Fighting Game, FTW!

  • SONY when u gonna Give us PS2 Japan CLASSIC? Arcana Heart 2? We need Arcana Heart 2 Please… Make it Happen SONY put it on the Store for us to buy Please???

  • Does anyone know if Slitherlink is also coming to the EU on Wednesday?

  • I want Xenosaga and Wild ARMs games for PS2 classics! lets go

  • @ Jisatsu_Kiddo, Gamerzlimited (a true to fit name if ever), AND MapleStory…

    Do you guys even understand the definition of trolling? Your replies ALL fit it to the letter. My only question is why aren’t the board moderators from Lithium doing anything about this? Its obvious that your all the same person from your semantics and wordage ALL OVER THE PSN.

    Not to mention, you claim he’s whining about something that would ONLY affect you if you used it… who’s whining here?

    Thanks for giving a GREAT example of what TRUE TROLLS are about. Its getting obvious the Lithium team needs some new examples, as they are banning non-trolls and complimenting the ACTUAL trolls.

    **My personal Sony representative will deliver this very thread to Sony Executive staff to review Lithiums behaviors**

  • @ Neuropunk

    Thank you for continuing to ask a valid question MANY, MANY users have been continually asking for. It would be nice to be able to sort the LITERALLY THOUSANDS of games in our families download list as well as the games in our XMB. I hope the REAL trolls here (see comment above) didn’t get you banned, as its obvious WHO the trolls are and if Lithium made ANY OTHER choice, this will be reviewed by Sony (NOT SCEA) Executives.

    Its funny that they call you something their very reply matches the EXACT definition of… ;p

    Keep doing work that usually only United States Marines have the integrity to deliver… any one wanna bag on the few and the proud now cause we just landed and all us real pirates have dis-embarked to deliver the TRUTH.

  • @ Jisatsu_Kiddo (also known as Gamerzlimited (a true to fit name if ever) AND MapleStory)

    GOSUB , , TROLL
    IF $TROLL IS =\ THEN END
    RETURN

    dBaseI gonna get ya ;)

  • @ Jisatsu_Kiddo (also known as Gamerzlimited (a true to fit name if ever) AND MapleStory):

    GOSUB “FACE”, PALM, $TROLL
    IF TROLL IS “FACE” =\ “PALM” THEN END
    RETURN

    dBaseI gonna get ya ;)

  • Good week, but the Playstation classics are taking weak attention, There are marvelous games on the ps2 that can be included to the ps2 classics, some of them are : “Killer7”, “Shin Megami Tensei Saga”, “Indigo Prophecy (Fahrenheit), “Michigan, Report from Hell”, “Cold Fear”, “Siren 2”, “The Suffering”, “Manhunt 2” Please do not forget the gamers that still want play some Classics.

  • Okay… so anyone who doesn’t think the XMB or download list needs more sort features… don’t worry if they get added… you will never have to use it.

    To those continually asking, thank you!!! Why the fulfillment center hasn’t delivered this to Sony yet is beyond understandable… I guess they are to busy looking out for their troll buddies.

    If your saying anything to anyone about a feature you would never have to use… WHO IS THE TROLL?

  • @equator13

    I would love to get the Burnout series. I don’t mind the Paradise release but it lacks SAME COUCH MULTIPLAYER (some of us actually know people in real life, too.)

    There are a ton of games that did great and inspired franchises (some have beelied up or sold out)… it would be nice to see more classic porting for sure.

  • @neuropunk that has got to be the dumbest questions asked.nobody is asking about their games being sort ed alphabetically which makes me wonder how far in school in u get.Seriously u need to know exactly when the store is updated!?

  • Will you ever release Fatal Frame 3 as a Playstation 2 classic? I nabbed the first two on release and would love the third. I had purchased the third back when I owned the backwards compatible PS3…and it died while I was in the middle of the game. Would love to finish it. :D

  • God, I hope there’s a sale or something to make up for the dearth of games recently. At least Murumasa continues to entertain.

  • LoL at these dingleberries that don’t know how to put a letter int the info and sort there games by folders.

    Hilarious and sad all at the same time!

    Hey, add me, i’ll show you how in a chat if you REALLY cant figure it out…but i wont promise I wont laugh at you.

  • @ Kaoskolors: I am asking for the function to alphabetically sort games be added. Also, you can read many others agree with my statement, so there is nothing dumb about asking for the most common method of sorting be added. It should have been in the PS3 OS since before they originally shipped.

    Also, I would not insult my intelligence and education if you cannot use proper grammar.

    Yes, consistency would be nice, not whenever the hell they feel like getting around to it.

  • @ WastelandDan: You’re the dingleberry if you seriously think that solves the problem. That isn’t what I’m asking at all. That has nothing to do with anything.

    I don’t want my games in stupid folders, okay. There have been 30+ people who have already said the folder thing. You’re not doing anyone a favor by saying that.

    You think you’re so smart, but you’re not. We all already heard about the folder thing, but that’s not what we’re asking.

  • i honestly think PS has completely forgotten about spelunky, with the complete radio silence in the past few week, and it supposed to come out in july, and this is the last tuesday in huly.

  • DarthSchrader666

    Now, why can’t the store be changed by this time EVERY week? I do have to say today’s store change was alot better than previous weeks. Must have a new trendy COD DLC out or something, LOL! To those who “have NO life” & worry ’bout what I typed last week, I just have ONE thing to say: GET OVER IT! Gee, I sure wish I had time to “stress others out” in life. How ’bout I quit my full-time job of 16 years, so I can do that, LOL INDEED!

  • Not only is the PS3 Store slow and laggy, I see that they added an Axe ad to make things even more miserable for those foolish enough to use the PS3 Store.

    The Vita store still freezes when you initiate a download. Maybe Sony could have spent less time putting ads on the PS3 Store and more time fixing this Vita download problem.

  • Sony, it’s almost August 11th, which marks the first birthday of one of the Vita’s grandest features (which should have already been fully implemented day one, which you promised and lied ’bout. Need I remind you “false advertsing” is not only wrong, but it’s quite illegal, Sony?) and there’s little hide nor hair of most of the PSone classics for North American Vita owners, let alone any sign of Spyro or Crash’s PSone outings in the slightest.

    You’re on the clock, Sony.

  • I have to agree with neuropunk. i have 125 digital games and more that i cannot download because i ran out of space. It is difficult to find a game i usually go through my library 2-3 time to find a specific game

    I do have my games in seperate folders for minis ps1 ps2 and ps3 titles but i still have 83 ps3 titles

  • megaman legends 3

  • @ neuropunk

    STFU already nub. What are you a 10 year old spoiled brat who’s parents give you anything you want as long as you cry enough? Sure alphabetical order would be nice, but your being a cry baby about this whole thing, get over it already. The will do it IF they want, don’t hold your breath because Sony is more worried about PS4 now than insignificant little things like alphabetical order on PS3. In closing I am offering buy you some Midol and to pay for the surgery you need neuropunk, the one to remove what ever crawled up your butt, so you can get over it and finaly stfu

    PS: sorry to the 10 year olds who may have been offended by that, it was an example .

  • Just wondering why Sony didn’t continue on with The Champions of Norrath series. It is by far one of the best co-operative games in my opinion, and all of the knock-offs out there now don’t hold a candle to it.
