Absense makes the...

...gamer more aggressive! I will be away from my PS3 for a few weeks: I am going to Sydney Australia (for fun) and Singapore (for work). So "Anguissette" will not be on PSN until March 1st. The flight to Sydney is 14 hours! And the flight home from Singapore is 19 hours! I'll survive by sleeping (Ambien), reading (La Reine Margot, Blink, and Philip K Dick book), and my PSP (God of War: Chains of Olympus and Patapon). I know it is not relative to this blog, but maybe I'll post some pictures when I return.

But when I get back, Look out!

Firmware Updates

I am really happy with Sony for the firmware updates they release. My PS3 and PSP are up-to-date and I feel like I own the latest-and-greatest product. I read on the PlayStatation LifeStyle Blog and article about other needed features in the PS3 OS. I thought about it and here is my list:

• Expanded PSN profile – Similar to Facebook. Pictures, Blog (like this one), Game comments, Torphies, and also a calendar. Hook all these it into HOME.
• Intergame Chat - Works the same way text messaging works, but with voice chat
• Download/Install/Shut-off - this may be done in 2.5, but maybe only Download. I'll let you know in Comments when I've done it Or, simply BEEP when done (I turn of my TV).
• Password on PS3 accounts - On my machine we have multiple users. I would like to partition music, pictures, and even games. I could lock the 10 year old out of M games.
• Organize Music by "Artist > Album," not just Album. And I would like the album art on the folder.
• PSN Music channel - This would be really convenient for my PSP!
• Internet Radio on the PS3 - just like on PSP.
• PS Life needs improvements. I would like to pick my cities. And I want better weather – a simple three day forecast on the screen.
• Email from PC to PSN account (and vice versa) - while at work I can set up clan matches for the evening.

I'm happy with what I got, but I am always wanting more!
