it would've been nice if this service also included that extended warranty thing for older PS3s.....my launch is still kicking strong, but that would've been one more incentive to get it........I think the discounts on PS Store purchases should be enough for me though...along with the early access stuff.

Playstation Plus Premium Service announced [S-CONF]
- Thread starter chubigans
- Start date
What Sony needs right now is some transparency. As it stands, this is all double speak and bullshit. They need to have someone come out and detail this without any smoke or mirrors.
As of right now, this is putting some negative light on Sony, more so than them not having it at all. To see that they have it finished, and gamers are being 'strung along' so to speak, is unacceptable.

I hope this is the case, but it's odd that the blog hasn't said anything about it yet.Infinite Justice said:

I would love to get PSN+ but if they don't tell me how i can opt out of the qore Yearly sub (Which I subbed in April) then they can fuck off especially Grace Chen.
I mean I game on ps3 more than any system so this would be very beneficial to me.

I'll consider this.
I've always greatly disliked the way the concept of "purchasing and owning" DLC is currently being handled and I've always been infatuated with the idea of treating the content as what it actually is, a lease, and just letting me subscribe to a sort of netflix of content. This looks to be the closest I'll get to that.
I actually like the concept of PSN+ vs XBL in which you're basically subscribing to have advertisements plastered on your system.

Maybe, maybe not. Some people have more than one console in the house. And if each of those was serviced once, they they are already up to 4 licenses used up.
The worst is when you log onto a friend's PS3 and then they have it serviced. That's a lost license right there. I know you could activate/deactivate every time you went to your friend's house, but that's a pain and the whole point is to be social not bogged down in the nitty gritty.
I think every license lost on a PS3 that was serviced should be automatically freed up. I serviced my PS3 twice and both times they did not automatically deactivate, but did so when I later called them up on the phone. If my friend send in his PS3, I cant call and say I sent it in, because its someone else's machine.

It won't be a true FAQ if it doesn't answer our questions about cross-game chat. That's about the most frequently asked question I've seen.Loudninja said:http://blog.us.playstation.com/2010/06/20/playstation-around-the-web-what-we-read-103/

they'll answer it. "Well talk about more features later", "Part of features we are currently looking into. Stay tuned"NullPointer said:

Xbox Live is a rip to be sure compared to the PC side. It's a shitty version of modern Steam for 40-50 dollars a year. It was especially obnoxious to me as I don't play many online console titles, and in the rare occasion I'd get some new co-op title, come home and then it'd sink in that I needed to subscribe.
However, for most people, the way it's done accents their services pretty naturally. MS has their OS and services and network structure rigged up *very* well, to the point where paying for the few things you get with Gold almost seems pretty paltry. That and despite P2P, they do have a good backbone, even for that. Getting Gamespy in too many PC and PS3 titles lately can still make you sigh a little.
PSN+ just seems like a bit of a mess to me, it will probably be good value for some folks, but it to me it looks like like they didn't really know what to add, or how they could add it on a live console on their OS, so they took some random deals and parsed it together as some subscription plan. It looks lazy and a bit sad, it's like one of those big books of coupons that comes in the mail. Like they have no intentions of really fixing or adding anything to PSN or the PS3 XMB.
That aside, for the future, I just really hope the PS4 makes some stupidly massive leaps with it's setup. Like matching parity with 360 all it's nice things, then beef up their own often dormant hooks like Youtube uploads, iffy download speeds, even Home integration (and I HATE Home and avatars and Miis and all that shit, I just figure if it's going to be around, why not splice it in so you can actually turn better profit on it)
In general, I really want next-gen for consoles to be more about getting out machines with good build quality, at good prices, with incredible OS and software support. There still isn't a need for much more horsepower. Maybe some DX10 effects, more ram, etc, but making another huge leap isn't going to do anyone much good.

I bought a movie on my old PS3 60gig and for some reason i cant buy movies on my new Slim.
Sony said something about your username is tied to one Ps3 for movie purchases, s I have buy all my video under a new PSN ID for this PS3 or send in the broekn one and pay $150 for deactivation (repair)

I'm glad they are putting together a FAQ but damn that should have been created before you even told anyone about this service. I might go for it, but despite that bullet point list they need to make everything about this service clear to people.

So does this mean Sony will be introducing something similar to Xbox's "Games on Demand" on PSN?
Just stumbled into this video interview with John Koller in which he says cross game chat "is built into some games now. You can do it with some games". :lol

God, I understand this is a marketing guy, but can you be so clueless about the product you are selling?
Anyway, he seems very nervous/insecure during the whole interview.
Edit - Here is the 1st part of the interview (mostly PSP stuff)
