April PSN overhaul confirmed


Recommended Posts

Previous rumour reports of the PlayStation Network getting a huge overhaul in April would appear true as SCEA's director of product development confirms: "you will see a pretty big change in the PlayStation Network in the early part of April."

 

The rumour emerged from a retailer-only presentation, in which Sony was said to have unveiled plans to give the PlayStation Network a makeover, as well as demonstrating a new Video Store.

 

Sony has since remained cagey on the subject, however SCEA's John Hight has told Gamasutra: "We give [sony's PSN team] a lot of feedback based on how our customers are reacting to things, and I think you will see a pretty big change in the PlayStation Network in the early part of April, where we roll out some new interface stuff largely based on customer feedback."

 

Hight held back on exactly what these changes would entail, but did tease: "Simplification, cutting down on the number of mouse clicks, making it easier to find stuff that you want to find... that's kind of an outgrowth of us having more content now, so we have to make sure that you can get at it easily."

 

We can't wait.

Xbox president says online service ‘big differentiator’ between platform holders

 

Microsoft’s E&D president Robbie Bach claims that Xbox Live sets the 360 apart from its rivals.

 

“Xbox Live is a big differentiator for us,” said Bach to investor.com, “That drives a significant amount of energy around what’s on with Xbox.”

 

Bach cites the exclusive downloadable content for GTA 4 as a reason why Microsoft’s online service is superior to its rivals.

 

“You don't have the same experience (with other consoles) that you get with Xbox Live," Bach said. "That does drive people to the platform."
