The three questions involve not only how to improve your online gaming experience, but also how important certain online features are to “your overall console online gaming experience”—such as a web browser, a hard drive, and voice chat—as well as how you arrange online games with friends. Non-GAPers can check out these scans of the one-page survey.

Seems like sony is listening to the gamers when it comes to it's online plans.

I'm sorry, but if sony is just getting around to receiving feedback on features that in my mind are no brainers, then their vaunted online plans for the ps3 seem like they're still in deep freeze.

They do this all the time. it doesn't mean anything about how far along they are with their online plans. :wink:

Because consoles are still in their infancy, I hope that they not only have a great plan well under way, but that they can execute it well.

It's still too early to adopt the, lets have a winner for unification purposes, stance.

We need Sony to push Microsoft, and vice versa, to enhance the overall experience.

I just want it to be free and reliable.

Cross platform compatible with PC servers would be nice too.

There's also nothing in this survey that relates to the ps3 btw. And no, sorry, they don't do this all the time. I've been a member of their GAP for over 3 years now and quite frankly I count on one hand the number of surveys they've asked me to fill out.

Strange just in the last 2 months this is my 4th survey. 1 for a game beta, 2 for the PSP and now this one.

Also you can see in the title of this thread..

same.


i hope they use this survey for ps3.


edit:
and yeah im with Kb-Smoker, ive have gotten many survey's from playstation underground/GAP in the recent months.

i really doubt this info is for the ps2, its a bit too late in the game to be using this type of information for the playstation 2. it just has ps3 written all over it to me.
