I am getting so sick and tired of seeing people talking about PS3 lacking a unified online service. THIS IS NOT TRUE!
In the lastest issue of PSM, Kaz Hirai, Chief Executie Officier of SCEA was asked:
"How will the PlayStation online experience change with the introduction of the PS3?"
He answered:
"With the PlayStation 3, you can expect to see a lot more of the features that make it exciting to be part of an online community, beyond just the gameplay. Whether it's matchmaking or other community features, those are an integral part of being an online community. We're hard at work on integrating those functionalities as well as other functionalities that people have come to expect, and even some new things that people will find very refreshing."
This is all directly quoted from page 41 in the January issue of PSM.
Now that you know... shut up...
EDIT: For the naysayers, Kaz Hirai was also asked the following:
PSM: What about the talk from others at Sony that PS3 Online will be just like PS2 online, more or less?
Kaz Hirai: "I think that when people at SCEE or SCEA talk about keeping the online model pretty much along the lines of what we have now [on PS2] what they're actually saying is that they want to make sure that we maintain all of the good business model points that we had in the open model and try to improve upon those with our third-party publishing partners."
Now notice he distinguishes the open community on PS2 from the assumably closed community on PS3 by saying "...all of the good business model points that we had in the open model...
He uses past tense... PAST tense...

Good to hear. If it's not as great as Xbox Live 360 (Why can't it be???), then I'm still aight with it. At least it's better than PS2 online community (or no community i should say).
I'm interested in seeing how people could pull out something bad about this
