Screw Qore! Just kidding but I have no use for these types of things now. If anyone remembers Playstation Underground back in the PS1 days. The best man, the demo disks were the reason to get in. I remember filling out the lil card when I bought Crash Bandicoot Warped ha ha. God damn those days were fun. I wish I was a lil kid again. :(

Johnny Rotten6426d ago

this has nothing to do with Qore or it's stlye. It's more like thier integrating the PSN into the forums more.

here's the real article from the blog http://blog.us.playstation....

CrAppleton6426d ago

Right.. they're trying to make PSN just like XBL

Neco5126426d ago

They can do whatever they want.. they'll never be as good as the XBL

Jecht6426d ago

You're right. Why settle for "as good" when you can be better.

Did you know that PSN already has 14 million subscribers?

whoelse6426d ago

This was very predictable.

socomnick6426d ago

lol Id be surprised if psn has 3 million subscribers. Everyone I know has multiple accounts for different regions.

Marquis_de_Sade6426d ago

What does PSN having 14,000,000 members have to do with quality and integration of service. I like PSN, for a free service its great, however, unlike LIVE, if it required a subscription theres no way in hell i would pay more than £15 yearly for it. LIVE is just so easy and everything is integrated, small things like not just seeing what game people are on, but what they are doing on that game. Unify the PSN SONY!

infamousinfolite6425d ago

man I wish I was there. instead I was on nintendo during them times. Playstation didn't come into my life until I got the PS3.

elorm96425d ago

Just curious, what features does XBL have over PSN? I know the PSN isn't as "good", but all I can say is that I want to play games online, nothing else.

Marquis_de_Sade6425d ago

Elorm, its not got many additional features as such, its just that everyone is so well integrated and more unified in comparison to PSN. However give the PSN time (and home) and it should hopefully be knocking on Lives' door as its easier to catch up than innovate.

dantesparda6425d ago

And? I have 4 accounts for my 360, 1 gold & 3 silver, 1 for every region. So your statement also applies to the 360

CrAppleton6426d ago

I'm not all that upset about this. I prefer the PSN to underground anyways

bgrundman6426d ago

What where the benefits to underground anyway?

CrAppleton6426d ago

Exclusive demo disks and things of the sort

bgrundman6426d ago

Sorry if I think exclusive demos are crap anyway. Having to pay to play a demo is downright wrong.

Simon_Brezhnev6426d ago

you get into betas if u in playstation underground

himdeel6426d ago

...LBP and Resistance 2 beta through Underground.

Neco5126426d ago

That's all you got.. and you payed for it? That's not worth my money

himdeel6426d ago

..Underground you dope you just sign up for it.

elorm96425d ago

They don't do demo disks anymore. I remember back during the PS2 days (when I was with them), they had their own magazine and everything.

Stay in the loop by joining Xbox! That was a joke guys, no need to get upset and flame me.

bgrundman6426d ago

There is nothing wrong with liking both... No need to hate!

CrAppleton6426d ago

Exactly.. share the love people

Neco5126426d ago

Hey old man friend jimmy.. how are you doing today? Can you still remember me or has your alzheimer's led you to forget?

bgrundman6426d ago

Does this mean that all of the exclusive downloads are now going to just be publicly available, similar to the way Xbox Live does it?

Marquis_de_Sade6426d ago

Hopefully, I wasn't too keen on the way betas and exclusive demos were handled. I only just today found out PlayStation Underground existed.

TheColbertinator6426d ago

Its been a good run but the only time I felt like a part of a true underground movement was back in the PS1 days

bgrundman6426d ago

That is very true, it will be interesting to see how and if they can make this all work over the PSN.

Hobb6425d ago

THEY WONT AND THEY CANT AND WITH THE NXE M$ WILL PWN THE PSN

Neco5126425d ago

I agree that the NXE is superior in every way. I do think that that the PSN will be successful though.

ravinshield6425d ago

is that were all the playstation girls hang out to discuss the jealousy they have for the 360

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle57d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7757d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde64d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy64d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Relientk7765d ago

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga65d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit65d ago (Edited 65d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199265d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga64d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac64d ago (Edited 64d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman64d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger64d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box65d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion64d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7265d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7565d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit65d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14965d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7765d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
