Wrong thread, though I would NOT recommend posting it in the Xbox thread either.

Saw the L&O posts and I thought this was the time/place to get that off my chest.

For a decent discount of keep the service around, but with all the other subscriptions I'm paying for (Xbox live, PS plus, satellite radio, etc), it's just not worth it.

I posted about it earlier. Basically most Artists I tried the "channels" it created were ridiculous, nothing like the associated band. Then there's the quality, it's piss poor, maybe 128kbps mp3 level quality? I didn't have any issues with the songs playing though. I am amazed that anyone would find that quality listenable though. Are all these streaming music services this poor quality?

I'm tired of coming in here to talk about games and the system but be overrun with "wahh, our games are going to be better because of blah blah blah." Unless you're working on these systems as a developer, you will literally have ZERO clue how it's going to work. Let the professionals handle the details, but don't sit there and regurgitate things you've read somewhere on the internet. Leave the doctoring to the doctors, leave the logistics to the logisticians, and leave the game development to the developers.
The first thing you did when you came in here was slam me on my choice of buying Angry Birds Star Wars on the console.

But to be fair, I would've done that in any console thread.

Anybody else here have to reset their PSN password today?

They said my password was no longer valid. Ugh. Hope I don't have to do it with all my accounts, I think I'll lose access to two of them.

For $50.

Let me repeat that for a second and let it sink in :

Not for the standard price of the phone app: ,

but rather for this much :

Yes. I was wondering what that was about. I changed mine right before the PS4 came out.

Same here. I was worried at first that it was a phishing attempt based on last years hack.

I was prompted to reset mine a few weeks ago. However it was like a day or two after I traded on my PS3 so I assume it had something to do with that in some capacity. I probably didn't eliminate all of my info of of that console prior to getting rid of it, and the new owner or GameStop were fucking around in there.

I actually didn't pay neither .99 cents nor 50 dollars for Angry Birds SW. And why does it matter what games I want to buy or play and how much I am willing to pay for them?

Well, glad it wasn't just me. It was only on my primary account, all my subs were fine, though I changed the E-mail on two of them to working addresses. Now if they get reset later, I won't lose them at least.

Didn't mean it as a slam to any console. Feel like I was pretty fair. There really is no argument which system has the more powerful hardware. Just saying that I don't think it is going to show up consistently in multiplat games. Developers will likely do everything they can to keep them comparable between each of the consoles.

Didn't mean to set anyone off.

Here's the info on the password resets -

We routinely monitor for irregular activity, and if such activity is detected, we may sometimes reset passwords of affected SEN accounts as a precautionary measure to protect consumers and their account information.

Is there any way to group friends? I would like to have a DVDTalk list, a group of people I know personally, people added from specific games, etc.

Not yet, unfortunately. They did show some type of sorting functionality in their original promo for the UI though, so there's hope for it.

Probably my most wanted feature.

Will the comment feature make its way back and allow for longer text? I sure hope so.

Got my system setup and updated via USB last night with no problem. Only had a little while to play, so I popped in Killzone. Stunning graphics, but I confirmed what I feared - I am fucking terrible at console shooters. I was getting wasted on Easy in campaign. Yeah, I have a lot of practice ahead of me.

Yeah I think I just need to use it as a shield more than an attack helper. I have a hard time seeing the guys in the jungle setting around the crash site. Of course it would probably help if I checked the controls sheet. I don't even know how to throw a grenade.
