Seriously though, I don't know why people reacted that way to the last Monsters head at all. But whatever.
I'm glad to see one of Sony's representatives making some sense for once. Frankly, I like PSN better than Xbox Live, and it's free.
I don't think it's too late for them.

No, the PS3 does not need facebook support... we already have a web browser built in to the PS3 system... what they need is better support for GAMING. They need to ensure voice either works on all games or they alternatively need to find a way to support voice chat through the OS (XMB). They need to concentrate less on "fluff" like Home, and more on ensuring stable PSN service, a better, larger "friends" system (maybe folders for various friends lists that we can load up... no different than having different friends lists under different PSN names). They need to bring in cross game chat so people can chat while playing offline games. They need to ensure that group/squad functions either work or that we can group up and enter a game through something easier than Home.
Eh... it's a "gaming" console... I think they need to remember that and support gamers more.

the thing i love about jimi...he never changes his way....whatever ppl say..he keep walking his way :)
What is that thing in the header image, is it here I saw the other image with that thing in the shower with some people?!
It's not too late for Sony considering that they're not too far behind Live in terms of what's offered. The lack of cross-game chat is disappointing, but hopefully they implement that sometime in the near future.
If it's too late for anyone it's Nintendo. Evolve or die.

no idea what that thing in the image is, it wont ever make any sense. Like Elsa said, she is 110% correct, we don't need any social media interaction with the PS3, we have a browser for that. Which I do use to connect to Facebook, Destructoid, Youtube, and illegal movie sites to watch free movies >_>;
So yea, focus on the game interaction dammit!

I think that Jim thinks along the same lines as I tend to do - Sony's console is a work of quiet genius, waiting to be tapped to its full potential. However, the company's strategy always has its finger just slightly to the right of where the pulse of the industry actually is. If they were to actually implement some of the things that Microsoft does right, such as parties, emphasis on voice chat and things like Facebook, their story would probably be a told a little differently today.
Also, if MS has Last.fm support underway, what's to stop Sony from forging alliances with companies like Hulu, Pandora or Slacker? All three would be considered wise moves.

That's quite possibly the best analogy I've ever heard in my life.

WTF is happening in that header? I just had 2 pina colada's,warn me before you post some random crap like that and make me think I'm losing it.
And no its not to late (well to the closed minded it is) they have an online network that people prefer over xbl, just keep the updates coming and it will be all good.

So the troll like creature is a metaphor for people who lurk the internet and watch porn as a substitute for a real life relationship? Maybe it's a metaphor for the Western lifestyle as a whole.
I guess someone has just discovered the old joys of Charlie Whites' photography.
BTW I think he, as an artist, vigorously prosecutes the use of his carefully crafted images without his permission.

How I hope people with the power to make changes to the gaming platform networks read this site. Or I wish they would.
What fustrating about Sony is that they seem to put the extra features head over the core reason for even getting the machine....GAMING.
Then when the extra features do come, there not really features people wanted. I have hopes that if we didn't see XGAMECHAT and such come right away, was because they were working on Netflix or HULU support. Or as someone said, slacker/pandora.....or even adding more OPEN codecs to the machine (flac, ogg, mkv)...but no, I haven't seen any of that.
IMHO, with this price drop and new image....they should pull people of the extra projects and put them on getting universal chat, universal grouping, saner xmb usability (txt messages comes in, I hit PS button...why am I not taken to the new message INSTANTLY), working and out to consumers.
After that, work on all the extras you want. Until then...focus on the gaming aspects. And ensure I don't have to head into HOME to do it.

If Sony wants to make online better they should find a way to integrate our friends list into Pidgin or Digsby. The reason I play my computer games more than my PS3 games is that I know when my friends are online. My steam account pops up a notification saying someone is online. I want something like that for my computer so I know when a PS3 friend is online. I have my computer on most of the day, I don't have my PS3 on constantly so that I can see if a friend happens to join. If I can't play with a buddy I don't even bother to turn it on half the time. We end up having to call over the phone or negotiate a time to be on ahead of time.
The Header Picture is so disturbing, yet i cant look away ::eyes keep wandering to the fine female:: ::runs and hides:: wife is comming :)
I hope that all the companies go over these blogs because this is where it's at when looking through the window of improvement.
