[edit] Centralized Server?
Anyone know if the Playstation Network uses a centralized server like Xbox Live? I have heard rumors that it dosen't.
[edit] Basic Services
The comparison to XBox Live here isn't verifiable. Based on the E3 press conference presentation (where the list of Basic Services shown did NOT include online gameplay), there's no reason to believe that online play will actually be free. This should probably be modified until there is true verification on the actual pricing structure and services that will be offered as this is currently speculation.131.107.0.77 17:59, 17 May 2006 (UTC)Dennis
- It's carefully worded ability for gamers to play multiplayer games online for free : it's possible that playing such games will be free, whereas Xbox Live certainly isn't free. Article includes details of where such claims where originally made. As such, I think the article is accurate. --Oscarthecat

I've added a sentenced refering to the disscusion area as regards to free online play. We have to understand we wont really know what services the ps3 online will offer, Untill sony says in solid stone and verifies that the ps3 online service will offer free gaming we cannot be certain. I think it would be best not to delete the sentence but provide a fair warning that this is not certain. If someone preorders a ps3 on the 100% wikipedia assumpition that they will receive free online play and this turns out no to be true or has unlisted rescritions placed upon it we have failed in our job as a information resource.
[1] [2] [3] Here are some links suggesting that online play will be free, and searching around finds there are many more. As of the moment, I think it is safe to say that online play will be free on the PS3, but perhaps some citation is needed on the article.
- Suggesting but nothing clearcut.
[edit] Video uploading/sharing
During Sony's press conference at TGS 2006, Ken Kutaragi said that you will be able to upload and share videos on PlayStation Network Platform, so keep it on there!!! http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3153860 Amish Gramish 03:03, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] References
I forgot how to add the references, and wikipedia isn't helping me out with it, because they say to put <.r.e.f.>, (it screws up the page if I put it how they said it) but I couldn't get it to work with http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3153860 So if anyone reads this, please put that link as a reference for the video upload/sharing service.

- I assume you're pointing to this quote in that article
Videos too! PS3 clones YouTube! No, not really, but it sounds like petite vids will be available on the network for the PS3 platform. Sounds like users will be able to share them between one another? But like the rest of this conference, there seems to be lots of abstractions thrown around. Gimme something concrete!
- This is really not worthy of including here if even the reporter is very vague about it. Removing the video upload stuff from the article unless more / better sources come up. -- Sirius81 | Talk 15:03, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Point system VS local currency
I have edited the Xbox Live point system comparison. Calling it a "scheme" is just plain ignorant. It us up to the readers to decide which they prefer. Sorcre 00:51, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Comparison with Live
the section is more than a bit bias can some one fix it
- I have removed the Xbox live comparison and renamed it to "Features." 71.163.110.222 00:02, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
Besides. Comparison with Live? Bah. It would look like this. Live cost $50 a year. No more, no less. PNP cost free until independent studios begin to nickle and dime you for use of their servers. Live is a unified service with a future. PNP is a service, and with Sony leading them, it will explode like a battery.
Ah, I could go on, but until its proven, no complaints right? - 68.228.33.74 06:20, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Friends list.
I include details about individual friends list. Some games (such as Resistance) will not use the PNP's friends list, instead, they will use a friend list specific to that game.

[edit] Feature Icons
Someone who knows what feature corresponds to what icon should list them in the text below the picture at the top of the page. Perhaps after where it says“Icons of the various PSN features”add something like “From left to right” then list them or “The features are _____________ respectively”.
