PSN: What do you really think of it?

[setsunafseiei]

So I bought myself a psp, yes I'm late jumping on the band wagon. Registered on the PSN website and in my browsing stumbled up Final Fantasy VIII. Happy days I thought....until I hit my first problem, I'm a mac user. I can't download to my computer and trying to browse using the psp is asking for trouble. Am I the only one that feels hard done by or am I just a brunette having a blond day?

You can't just use the wifi, search for it alphabetically, then download? It's not really too hard.

I've got me a PSPgo and so I bought all 2 of my games on that through the PSP itself. It's not really a hassle for me.

What is a hassle for me is the damned music playlists. Why the hell can't I make one!? Been bugging me for a few too many months...

I think it's pretty good! I really didn't know that you could download things(or even access) from the psn on a home computer. If used on the consoles, though, it's a pretty sleek experience

I get alot of demos when I feel an itch to buy a new game. I haven't bought that much from PSN, FF7 and 8, Dark Myst, Metal Gear Solid, Mushroom Wars, but it's great being able to play some PSOne classics.

Well I like PSN.

If it wasn't for my shithouse Australian internet connection then I would use it a whole lot more.

PSN is pretty sweet, love to check up on friends, to see their stats, trophies etc.
Chatting with my girlfriend, to cut telephone costs, and playing online with my friends.
And dying in-game because someone needs to send messages during bossfights....

Haven't used a PSP for browsing, but PSN also exists for PS3 and that seems to work fine for me, (though I despise them not letting me listen to music on my PS3 while going on the internet... better then a computer you ssy? F**koff!) can't you just use an internet cafe or a friends computer, whatever to get it done?

PSN is good, it's not great because the lay out requires you to navigate more screens than needed to quick search for something. Xbox live marketplace is great because how there's multiple ways to search for something and you don't even need to enter a search menu then try and type with a controller. It's also nice that you can check updates right off the dashboard. The PSN only have the basic functions compared to live. Live didn't even start off how it is at the current moment, they updated, and I think the PSN is in desperate need of one.

I got a friend request playing MW2 online, brain farted, and then got sniped hard. I laughed.
Anyway, I like PSN, it's free, easy to use, and I got the hang of it without needing to read the looser instruction booklet. That and all the free stuff they have on it.
And demos. I enjoy the try before buying, and now I can do so way more often.
