A long time ago Sony launched in the US: The PlayStationNetworkVideo Store. Letting people rent or download movies directly from their Playstation 3 system. Now, they are making this great service in Europe, but nothing is scheduled for Canada.
If you read the US Playstation Blog (http://blog.us.playstation.com) from times to times, you surely saw the numerous posts saying things like \"CANADA!?!?!\", and not only one time, but several times on the page. A lot of Canadians are frustrated that everybody is going to have it or already have it, while we're not even listed in a \"to come\" section.
This Petition is for us, Canadian Playstation 3 owners that wants to have a Video Store like everyone else.
SIGN THE PETITION HERE PLEASE, EVEN IF NOT FROM CANADA!
Well, after seeing the Eurogamers review of the installs, it seem to depend on the game. So are a LOT helped and some aren't helped at all. I think Microsoft should make a list of wich games benefit from it, since games like Halo 3 are significantly slower with an installation, while games like the orange box are lighting speed with an install..

ps: It's still (alive) fun to note that M$ said for years that the ps3 was lame of letting people install games (in general on the ps3, you choose if you want to install the game, mandatory installs are pretty rare) and that they're not like this... well, it seems they oriented their update on that :S
The latest issue ofOPMsays thatSCEAis considering some sort of reward system for getting trophies:
"We've heard that SCEA is mulling over some sort of Trophy reward system. We doubt it'll be cash (or the equivalent), but we suspect it might be exclusive access to early betas and the like. "(From OPM magasine)
Well...
Levels could give us VIP access to normally inaccessible stuff. For exemple, it could give us an hidden car in motorstorm, or a new costume in uncharted...
I think that they could let us use those levels to buy PSN stuff. For an exemple, 10 levels could be used to buy a playstation one game, or any other downloadable game that cost around the same, or even rent movies on their movie servive, etc. 2 levels could mean 1$ on the PSN to spend =D.
Without thinking about money, they could give Beta keys to people who are level X or more only.
They could give promotionnal stuff for each 5 levels, starting at level X. Let's say level X is 30, then at level 30, 35, 40, etc, you would get a promotionnal something, like a t-shirt that you could choose in a list (promoting games like uncharted, motorstorm, god of war, naruto ninja storm, etc).
But THIS is the easiest answer: They could give freebies inside HOME for each level (something for acheiving level 2, 3, etc). This would promote HOME, sony, the games of sony, and everything linked to home, including the PSN.
What I'd want?;
I'd like a VIP access to level X and more in Home and on the PSN. For exemple, those VIPS could have access to locked places in Home (for an exemple, I'd like if those VIPS could talk with the devs at the launch of a new game, like when the movie stars are interviewed, but this time, by the fans. A rude behavior in those situation would ban the user from the VIP rooms in HOME, but not for the PSN version of the VIP club). And for the PSN, the VIPs would have a diffferent color in the background of the PS store (gold, with the letters VIP written somewhere) and would get more stuff, like exclusive wallpapers, behind the scene videos, maybe beta keys, themes, and maybe a reduction of 10% one selected days in the year, I don't know).
Maybe we could replace "level X" with "X level(s) gained in the last month" so we would have to defend our VIP title with a flow of trophies. 10 trophies per month would be good, or er two months. This way sony would make us buy those PSN games that have trophies, lol.
