Hi, everyone! Just wanted to provide an update about the PlayStation Store. The store for both the PS3 and PC will be unavailable starting early morning Monday, April 14 through early morning of Tuesday, April 15. You will not be able to access either store during this maintenance window.
As you know, we are preparing to release the revamped interface of the PlayStation Store for the PS3, which will be available on Tuesday. Regular weekly updates of the store will resume on Thursday, April 17, along with the release of GT5 Prologue.
Thanks for all the positive feedback about the upcoming store design!
One more thing can you guys fix it to where we can charge our PS3 remotes while the System is in STANDBY mode. It sucks having to leave them on for that. Also why doesn’t my PSP charge with the USB that I use from the PS3. I use that PS3 USB cord on my PSP with my Computer and it charges my battery but for some odd reason it never charges hooked into my PS3 can you inform me why?? FIX THAT TO PLEASE in your 2.40 update as well.
I’d prefer SOMETHING to point at and say “that’s nice” it’s not even releases, the whole system feels clunky, and just doesn’t have the sleakness that the system has in physical design. The store had sucked from the beginning, why even release it in the first place rather than fix that?
I bought a PS3 last year because I heard Home was coming, It’s been almost 12 monthes where is Home? Sony only announced it to sucker people into buying their system, but they knew they couldn’t deliver on their promises.
Everything about the PS3 has been incomplete, I’d much rather to see SOME progress then the constant waiting.
But hey, at least lair is finally getting patched.
LOL…
@ 102…
I wonder if they ever get tired of reading ‘what i want in the next firmware comment number: 5678493829903’
??
Kinglink
you bought a PS3 because of HOME? you have got to be kidding me.
hehehehe…
@39 eclipse4duo
early morning the 14th until early morning the 15th…
that’s 24 hours, don’t open your mouth until you actually read the blog posts, little kid.
@43 and 44 the insane little kids
“i doubt he even has a PS3”
if you actually knew anything, you’d have seen me posting here since the blog’s creation…crazy kids..
I’m a proud owner of both a PS3 and 360…no qualms here! My elite has run great since I got it, and my 60 gig launch PS3 is still my favorite..
If you are so jealous you can’t afford both systems, too bad! Don’t take it out on me!
Bwahahaha!
Funny, things get back to normal right on my birthday.
ok, last blog post about this, nobody answer my question: Will the canadian pricing be fixed?
@ 106… you are clearly a spotty 15yo who wishes he was more popular and hence comes on here to cause trouble…
Newsflash: do something constructive with your life… like fall under a bus.
@frito
are you telling me that you really don’t know how to subtract?

@at all the kids yapping on about the “surprise”
Did you even read who wrote that there was a “surprise” coming on the blog today?? It was Konami, NOT SONY, they will obviously post it when they are ready, and stop complaining because Sony isn’t going to ruin the whole thing! That would take the fun out of it. I’m almost guaranteeing that you probably won’t think it’s that great anyway, unless it happens to be Home or something of the like…
But no, you all just complain that you jumped the gun when anyone who actually read into Home knew that it was only gonna be a closed beta for a while. You know what Sony was doing with Home this entire time?? Making it as good as they promised it would be. Things like building a virtual community takes time and massive amounts of money and development. Good things come to those who wait, and if you’re not willing, go pawn your PS3 off and give it to some kid who actually likes the damned thing.
@eclipsed4utoo
That’s semantics, and an ESTIMATED TIME FRAME.
Give him a break….

LOL I hear ya Frito. Yeah I had a Elite 360 along with my 80gig Ps3 last year but those 360’s SUCK. I went through 8 360’s since there launch and they SUCK. What use is a few of there good games if the systems never last. Ps3 man they seem to run for ever maybe a freeze here and there but they hardly ever CRASH unlike 360’s. I know believe me. So 2008 I have decided PS3 is my only concern in the Gaming world but come on SONY get HOME out cause so far it was worth going through broken 360 after broken 360 just to have that Award system they have. PS3 has crap in that department untill we see what this so called Home will be like. It better not lag and when I turn that guy in Home I better not see lines accross then screen hint messed up frame rates. Even a lot of PS3 games have that Lines of low frame rates so you guys need to release games without that. Man I remember for 360 Perfect dark zero was VERY BAD WITH THE LINES. PS3 isn’t far behing that.
Oh hey Noel’s on here now.
@Noel Silvia
The “surprise” people are referencing was alluded to by the dude from Konami in the MGS4 post from last week. He said that he was gonna be back today for a big announcement. That’s what all the hubbub is about.
Thanks for clearing that up, CI27.
Hopefully this will set things straight for people and clear up some of the confusion.
