Everybody knows it's unfair how all of us have to wait for the Playstation Network to be restored, & Sony knows this. Sony also knows that people are assuming the new update will be a disaster, like something nobody will value, but think again!

For you EU gamers, Sony is giving you four free PSN games for their 'welcome back' program for all members, but that's not the only thing Sony will be giving you!

Sony is granting the PSN users' wishes, such as cross-game chat & video-chat, which we all know has been being demanded since the early stages of the Playstation Network alone. There are several other features like this also, but some won't be released right off the bat, while others will be right when PSN goes up.

There will also be updates along the lines of XMB, & things that are like that.

But of course, here's a list of other things you should be expecting once the Playstation Network is restored:

• Restoration of Online game-play across the PlayStation®3 (PS3) and PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) systems
• This includes titles requiring online verification and downloaded games
• Access to Music Unlimited powered by Qriocity for PS3/PSP for existing subscribers
• Access to account management and password reset
• Access to download un-expired Movie Rentals on PS3, PSP and MediaGo
• PlayStation®Home
• Friends List
• Chat Functionality

I wanted to personally reach out and let you know that we are committed to serving you to the very best of our ability, protecting your information better than ever, and getting you back to what you signed up for – all the games and great entertainment experiences that you expect from Sony,” said Sir Howard Stringer in a letter of apology to PSN users.


So, Sony promises all of you that you won't be disappointed with the new PSN, & they apologize for the extended inconvenience.

It's about time Sony offered cross-game chat. This has been one of the main reasons Xbox is my console of choice.

It will probably be for US as well. Also US get 1 year free $1 Million of insurance I belive.

Cross game chat is not going to be possible just because they "upgraded" their network system. It's all about the console itself not supporting it.

At least you never copy and pasted it like most people do. :y:

Sorry if you posted it, but I can't check all the pages (and it isn't on your OP)

Their quotes , also, the bulleted list is of things you can't re-write.


Not quite.

That's all it says. It may or may not come.

I see nothing here relating to cross game chat. The only thing close to it is chat functionality; which most likely refers to the text chat we've always had



PS: Anyone that knows me knows I despise posting 'old', but since it's not the only thing I posted....this quotes/info is quite old. If you had confirmed it, it would've been new. Again, I don't mean to offend you, I just don't see what the sudden fuss is about; everyone going crazy because you confirmed it with this:
