Suggestions

I only suggest things I know can be done, and things I would or could do myself.

(Obviously I couldn't make a PS2 emulator, but since the PCSX2 guys can, Sony should be able to)

Unless otherwise stated, suggestions were made in 2010

Sony has made a website for me to submit ideas, but only 1 per day!

I am now including links to the suggestions so you can vote for them

It'd be nice if Sony would show us the status of our submissions so we can see if they've been rejected and why. I've suggested this, multiple times, and it has FINALLY BEEN POSTED!

The hub page of the suggestions I have submitted

PSN

Dec 16 - Unify the store, so there is only 1 region. And everyone has access to all content

Dec 16 - Add PayPal support

Dec 16 - When we click a game/content we purchased, replace the buy button with a download button

Dec 16 - Add a Google Search button for content, since you're too lazy to add videos/screenshots

Dec 18 - A universal demo mode for all PSN games (minis in particular), where it just boots us back to the XMB after 10 minutes, disallows trophies/saving/loading.

Dec 19 - Ban Naquiel for stalking/harassing/trolling other users and overall, being a huge asshole

PSP

XMB/User Interface

-Let us sort games into sub-folders*

-Let us edit metadata, Sorting/grouping options by metadata, Copy/Delete/Move multiple options, Image thumbnail caching, Background brightness setting like PS3, Allow us to copy games from multiple PS3 profiles (As long as they are all on our primary PS3) onto our PSPs

-A way to update all owned games (or let us check them off like the copy/delete/multiple feature) like the iphone/ipod touch does

-Background downloading, at least while in the XMB

-Anytime you delete a saved PSN profile or restore settings to default it should ask if you want to connect to PSN to de-authorize the PSP

Feb 07 - Allow the viewing of game's software manuals in-game

Jun 04 - Let us turn PSP off or go into standby mode from the Home-button menu, both in-game and in-XMB

Jul 06 - You added partial/poor sub folder support to the game folder, but you don't save the setting. Fix this

Jul 18 - Add a way to open saved web pages via either a folder in the XMB, or an option in the browser

Aug 14 - Let us bring up the PSP Go clock while listening to music

Dec 21 - Dont ask us if it's ok to disable bluetooth (to use USB) when the wireless switch is off anyway

Jan 25'11 - The web browser lets us scroll by whole pages if we hold the Square button, add this to the XMB

OS

-Universal Screenshot support*

-Let us change the CPU speed for older games*

-Let us rip PS1/PSP game discs we own to PSP* (PSP games would require the disc be inserted like 360)

-Add Resistance's PSP+ to the firmwares of both PSP and PS3 so you can use a PS3 controller to control every PSP game on any PSP*

-Add adhoc tunneling over infrastructure (like adhocParty does on PS3)

-PSN text/video/audio/photo messaging

-Trophy support

-Update the bluetooth tethering profile support with the Personal Area Networking profile

-Add support for PS3's bluray remote, wireless keyboard and the PS3 headset high-quality mode

-That game pause feature from the Go, add it to all PSPs*

-When using a PS3 controller in PSP games, let us map the four directions of the right analog stick and L2/L3/R2/R3 as any other button/dpad/analog direction

Jan 29 - Give PSP games access to the additional inputs while using a PS3 controller like how Resistance used it (use the same API and everything so even Resistance would use it). Games would still be required to be fully playable with normal PSP controls, but this would allow them to be like how PSone titles could use dual shock controls. And this would allow newer titles to have expanded controls ready for the next generation of PSP which will surely have more inputs, When using a PS3 controller in PS1 games and RemotePlay, use L2/L3/R2/R3 and the right analog stick, Make internal apps (web browser, media player, etc) aware of the extra inputs while using a PS3 controller and assign them shortcuts. ie: make L2/R2 act as Square+L/R in the web browser, the right analog as square+left analog

Feb 01 - Allow multiple controllers to sync to PSP, to allow for single-screen multiplayer games (especially when playing PS1 games)

Feb 15 - Give PSP games/PS1 games/RemotePlay access to rumble when using a PS3 controller (apparently PS1 games already do)

Jun 04 - Let us connect bluetooth headsets without using it for game audio

Jun 20 - Give us the option to turn off any connected Bluetooth devices when the screensaver comes on

Jun 21 - Auto detect which stored WiFi router profile to connect to based on signal strength (Like DS does)

Jul 05 - Allow Infrastructure and Adhoc connections over USB*

Multimedia

-Universal Custom soundtracks* (Currently playing track info shows up in the Home-button menu) (even in the XMB, stop stopping the music!)

-Track change notifications*

-Audio recording* (DSi does it!)

-Let PSP control PS3's XMB (via RemotePlay or some new interface), while still having the video output to the TV

Jan 29 - Make the web browser control more like PS3s (ie: Circle closes the tab not the browser, holding circle exits the browser)

May 31 - Dont ask where to save things on PSP Go if there isnt a memory stick inserted. Just default to System Storage

Jun 28 - Allow us to create playlists on the fly

Jun 28 - Allow playlists to use any file on the device not just ones in the same folder as the playlist

Jan 24'11 - Add support for the PSN store to view preview movies (Flash 10 would do this)

Hardware

May 31 - Allow USB charging at any time, not just in USB mode

Jun 06 - Change the adapter to allow any USB cable to fit in it, so it can charge other PS3 devices as well

Jun 18 - When PSP is plugged in, leave Bluetooth on so you can turn the PSP on via a PS3 controller/Bluray remote

-STOP IGNORING CANADA!

-A way to report the device as stolen, so the next time it signs online it locks itself down until it is returned to a retailer/service station who will return it to the original owner

Jul 06 - Allow Ryori no Ori to be copied to PSP Go since you can use dual analog via a PS3 controller (The game cant be copied cause it requires dual analog)

Dec 6 - Sell Invizimals and Eyepet without the camera

Dec 7 - Option to rotate the screen 90° for PS1 games

*Doable/already done via custom firmware, so we know Sony can do it, and should so they can compete with it to give us less of a reason to use CFW

XMB/User Interface

-Store multiple Wifi setups like PSP does (even the Wii does this!)

-RSS feeds in the news ticker

-enable copy/delete multiple in every location of the XMB that lets you copy/delete a file (ie: PS1/PS2/PS3 memory card saves)

-edit metadata on multiple files at a time, using the copy/delete multiple checkbox list to select the files

-Add PSP's standby/sleep mode

Multimedia

-An option to convert PS3's themes for use on PSP

-convert movie files to PSP like PSX could

-Stop the store from stopping music playback (and everything that does this in RemotePlay too)

-Universal custom soundtracks, and keep playing the music when you enter/exit a game (Currently playing track info shows up in the Home-button menu) 2

Hardware

-Put the USB ports and flash card slots back in the slims

Feb 17'11 - Let NavCons act as the same controller ID as Move, so games that aren't programmed to use it will be able to.

Linux

-Add a reboot to OtherOS option when you press the PS button while in the XMB. Going to Settings, System, Boot OS is annoying

-Add it back to the slims. The reason you gave for removing it makes no sense. If you really had to update the drivers, then wouldn't every game stop working too?

Backwards Compatibility

-Native HD rendering for PS2 games (which would also mean finishing the PS2 emulator)

-let PS3 accessories (Guncon3/PSeye/headsets/keyboards/mice) act as the PS2 accessories while in PS2 mode, and mice/guncon3 act as PS1 accessories in PS1 mode

Best, OK, Worst, OK come on now wtf? (in terms of consumer friendliness)

PS4

-Mandatory native 720p, 1080i, 1080p, 3D, RemotePlay, 5.1/7.1 in all games

-No cloud BS. I don't feel like redownloading everything every time I want to play a game

360

-Let us fast forward/rewind music

-Put ALL options/settings in the settings section

-A Guest account, so people don't have to make a new account for local multiplayer

-STOP IGNORING CANADA!

Best, OK, Worst, OK come on now wtf? (in terms of consumer friendliness)

XBOX720

-MP3 playback for pete's sakes (PSP does it)

-JPG support for images that weren't taken by the internal cameras (PSP does it)

Wii

Software

-Make it so the firmware can be upgraded to actually enhance games like modern (PSP/PS3/360) systems can do, instead of storing each version of the OS

-Make Widescreen, progressive scan, and surround sound support mandatory
