I agree with all the other comments and I also want to say thank you for the great work. The blog looks amazing, and so far the posts you’ve done are great. Keep it up!
An idea: would be cool with a podcast from you guys and gals – like where you summarize the week.
Anyway, the blog has been great so far!

10 posts in two days, very nice indeed.
You’ll have quite a workload to write up in the next week, to be sure! Make sure to rest your fingers this weekend, PSBE!
Great to have you.

Posted on 30 May, 2009 at 1:58 pm by Pound_lb003
Will this mean we actually get to speak to the SCEE devs, as opposed to the SCEA oroducers of the game?
I hope so!

Been enjoying this site alot, it’s now my PS3 browser homepage.
Also, the questions i keep hearing never really get an answer, like:
+ When is the video store coming to EU?
+ When are we getting [Insert Game Here] patch?
+ When are we getting more PS1 games?
So, i think you should post every 2 weeks or so, updating us on the most asked questions, telling us stuff like how the patch licensing is progressing/estimated time to reach us, or the PS1 games that are lined up for the next few months etc. I think this would be very helpful!
Thanks.

I find myself agreeing with you! Its been a very good first week, and I am sure this level of activity will be maintained. But there are several questions unanswered which I feel a bit left in the dark about.. Thanks in advance for any updates

Not to shabby for a couple of days indeed. But Sony has officially said that Playstation cards aren’t coming to Europe, well outisde the U.S. anyway. Sony is missing some major revenue by not bringing those here

Hopefully this gets noticed, im really not liking the featured post, i wouldnt be so bad if it was just a link or something but sticking an entire very long post at the top of the blog is really annoying because ive got to scroll past it every time to get to what i want to see i.e latest stories
36
Posted on 30 May, 2009 at 5:30 pm by TimoTheThug
Nice for the people who aren’t that active. For me it’s something annoying since I feel it’s just filler and I allways get my hopes up for an exciting new story but hey tough job keeping all the people happy eh

Ok. I know this isn’t exactly related, but I feel that I should voice my concern over the recently leaked PSP Go images and information.
1) Although I feel the design is uninspired and that there is a particular fan mock up on the internet which is superior. Its not something thats a deal breaker (although I expected better from Sony. Although I’m sure it will ‘feel’ really good. But it is really hard to seel the ‘feel’ of an object over aesthetics)

Posted on 30 May, 2009 at 11:12 pm by shdwz
2) During the Qore episode no mention of touchscreen was made. I’m going to go ahead and assume that there isn’t any. This IS MY MAIN CONCERN. How do you expect to compete in the portable media player market if you don’t have a touchscreen. Do you expect users to slide out the buttons everytime they want to change playlists etc…!
I mean really! Even your latest Sony walkmans (and even the Mylo) have touchscreen. If you want people to take it seriously as a portable media player, then it needs a touchscreen. How else are we going to navigate it while the buttons are tucked away!
I mean, if the DSi can introduce camera etc.. and be successful, you can introduce a touchscreen a be successful.
I honestly was looking forward to upgrade my PSP-1000 to a PSP go, but I’m afraid I won’t. And I’m sure others won’t either. The lack of a touchscreen makes the PSP Go irrevelant in this day & age to the market you’re aiming at!
And I was really looking forward to a iPhone like portable media player (with PSP features).
