Share Your PlayStation Ideas With Sony
The PlayStation 3 features nearly everything one could need for home entertainment. Not only is Sony’s black behemoth machine capable of playing games, it’s a feature rich multi-media center as well. Sony has been improving the consoles capabilities since the 2.40 update with Trophies, TV shows, countless movies and a useful in-game XMB system. Still the PS3 could use a few more improvements, for instance: cross-game chat.Now Sony are allowing gamers to get their voice heard with the all-new PlayStation.Blog Share. Share is a “subset of the PlayStation.Blog” where readers can submit their ideas about everything related to PlayStation to help improve the overall PlayStation experience, with an option to vote on other peoples ideas.
Similar to Digg and Reddit’s vote system, readers will be able to vote positive or negative on what like and dislike. Sony will be keeping a close eye on the popularity of each idea based on votes.
The most popular ideas right now on the PlayStation.Blog Share page is a new notifications design, reporting users, fixing the PS3 browser, integration of screen capturing for every game, and something we could all opt for: Demos for all PSN games on the day of release.
Head over to PlayStation.Blog Share to submit your ideas.

this is pretty ingenious, now the Sony team knows exactly where to look for what players want instead of maybe just happening upon them in random forums on the PSN or scattered across the internet
I’m pretty satified with PSN as is but it wouldnt hate to have some of these additional features. I mean we gotta give them some idea of what we’ll pay for as far as the Premium service goes, lol.
Finally Sony is doing something smart. Watch them not even read the thing though.
Nice idea. I knew cross game chat thing will be at the top of the list, meh I’ll never know why do players wanna talk to each other when they’re playing different games.
I really wanted something that would organize my videos and pictures. I hate it when I put a bunch of pictures from my digital camera on my ps3 and then I have to go to each picture and send it to a different folder. I would rather want to be able to pick an x amount of pictures and move them all at once rather than individually.
Capcom needs to step up its game. capcom games don’t seem to like my PS3 system. Street fighter everytime try to quit the game would restart my system. tried to start up Dark Void and restarted my system, had to turn off auto-start to be able to play it. I want preview movies for all games. some games look interesting but without previews I always say no
A very good idea from Sony. Now they can know exactly which features people would like to see changed or added, and know what’s most important to people.
I put in a suggestion for my usual nitpick: the lack of 2X and 4X zoom on the Blu ray player.
Thanks for this article – I would have never noticed this otherwise.
hmmm… well thats kinda what we’ve been using the forums for in the past couple years, but with a voting system… ok. Well I agree with all those ideas except the grief system – I really don’t see a need for that. You can block users if they annoy you, you can mute them, and you can leave a lobby and join a new one. I don’t think my behavior within a video game should be policed – its a video game for gods sake!
The only thing I want is a better internet browser. I love the fact that I can stream media from my PC to my PS3, and it works great. the PSN is great and though I am sure there are ideas for improvement in other peoples minds that I never thought of, I am quite satisfied.
Well this is a worry. I’d have hoped that an idea would only have to be good to be considered, not “popular”. But, seeing ideas such as “More Turkish subtitles” voted down into negative numbers just shows how ridiculous this system is – what business has any non-Turk voting on something like that, and why would anyone feel strongly that Turkish subtitles SHOULDN’T be available?
Surely Sony can recognise a good idea when they see one – what is the voting system for? What does it mean if I vote YES for ALL of them… or NO for that matter? It would have been better to only have five votes – in other words, your own league table of the best five ideas. That would be far more representative.
The other problem is that by showing “popular” ideas first, those ideas will continue to get more votes, while others will languish on the 30th, 40th or 50th page of ideas an hardly ever be seen.
l’m pretty sure they just put this up to act like they are listening to fans and wouldn’t implement a thing unless pressured to
im pretty sure you probably have no idea what your talking about and just making blind assumptions
This is a great idea. I went to that site and one of the subjestions was to implement this feature on the PS3 itself that way to make it available to more people. I’m down with that idea
hello,,,
humm, as usual Mauritius isn’t in the list so had to register with secondary address…
well if SONY could just add more countries & credit cards to PSN & any PS sites!
cheers!
