No need to shout: PLAYSTATION = PlayStation

by Andrew Yoon { Oct 15th 2008 at 1:00AM }

Did anyone else notice that with the latest firmware update, the PLAYSTATION Store and PLAYSTATION Network have reverted back to the less-loud PlayStation Store and PlayStation Network. Does this mean the PS3 is now PlayStation 3 (it's officially spelled PLAYSTATION 3)? What do you prefer?

I LIKE TYPING PLAYSTATION IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE IT MAKES ME FEEL BETTER ABOUT MY INABILITY TO NOT SHOUT ON THE INTERNET.

HeyHello @ Oct 15th 2008 1:27AM

PLAYSTATION

Ops_Blue @ Oct 15th 2008 2:21AM

Ops_Blue @ Oct 15th 2008 2:25AM

CAPS LOCK IS LIKE A CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL

Richie_Tozier @ Oct 15th 2008 1:08AM

Ha ha, nice picture.

I like Playstation better, it seems more professional.

Josh @ Oct 15th 2008 1:08AM

Please, let this be permanent.

ryan @ Oct 15th 2008 1:10AM

I'LL CHOOSE THE LESS OBNOXIOUS ONE OF COURSE.

Dakoina @ Oct 15th 2008 1:10AM

I noticed this actually before the firmware :) apparently those who have Little Big Planet, can see it on the game box. That's why I thought it was a fake, firstly. But now I see they went through some changes

brettjr @ Oct 15th 2008 1:17AM

who gives a fuck, where's HOME!?

-jr- @ Oct 15th 2008 1:25AM

Why are you lost? lol

PSN: John-Paul-Jones @ Oct 15th 2008 1:30AM

even better: who gives a fuck! download the new firmware 2.50!

mcx @ Oct 15th 2008 1:35AM

jr. its spelled LOST you know like show.

Muhammad-Oli @ Oct 15th 2008 2:59AM

Yeah, slow news day huh?

How about some news on stuff that's actually important.

Chase @ Oct 15th 2008 3:59AM

*Home

prodigy_69 @ Oct 15th 2008 7:11AM

who cares?

deaftly @ Oct 15th 2008 11:28AM

Eh don't worry about Home, I just got into the beta like a month ago. Pretty friggin boring and pointless man. Now the LBP beta is another story! $56 on newegg.com btw.

Jonathan @ Oct 15th 2008 1:20AM

SEVENTH!!!

Daniel @ Oct 15th 2008 1:31AM

Playstation is MUCH better than XBOX!

Wait, what were we talking about AGAIN?!

fiziks @ Oct 15th 2008 12:47PM

also I prefer lamb in a pita over roast beef on white bread any day, although nothing beats a good old fashioned tuna on rye.

Lars @ Oct 15th 2008 2:02PM

"Nothin beats a nice MLT, ya know, Mutton Lettuce and Tomato? When the mutton is nice and lean, and th-"
"Liar! Liar!"

Anyone get that reference?

On Topic: there should be a 3rd voting option for people like me who could really care less.

Xavier @ Oct 15th 2008 1:48AM

I prefer in-game access to music for all ps3 games instead of just ones the developers chose to use it in. I also prefer the ability to create folders as can be done on the psp or at least the ability to edit the album info for multiple pieces of data simultaneously.

koehler83 @ Oct 15th 2008 6:22AM

Good for you.

Go write your own blog then.

Better yet, go create your own game console. I promise to line up for the midnight launch and be the first to post on YouTube, me smashing it on the sidewalk.

Extinction @ Oct 15th 2008 12:59PM

You can edit album info for multiple items simultaneously

Fane @ Oct 16th 2008 1:53AM

@extinction Only if they're already in an album and you want to make the same change to all.

Kspraydad @ Oct 15th 2008 1:56AM

It is still PLAYSTATION 3...but with the Store acting for multiple devices they reverted to the encompassing PlayStation.

I like both.

WonderlandInc @ Oct 15th 2008 2:01AM

Playstation 3, But I Like To Cap Every First Letter :).

-Jad- @ Oct 15th 2008 2:21AM

caps look better ^^

Ves @ Oct 15th 2008 2:36AM

Depending on the software/hardware. the store looks better in small, HOME looks better when cap.

Gambit07 @ Oct 15th 2008 2:38AM

Next month it's pLAYSTATION 3.

Fane @ Oct 15th 2008 3:00AM

note: this polling widget (or whatever you'd call it) now works on PlayStation 3 after 2.50 update.

Niels R. @ Oct 15th 2008 4:02AM

I like PlayStation, because it's more zen :)

Fade2blac @ Oct 15th 2008 5:59AM

But is it feng shui?

themizarkshow @ Oct 15th 2008 7:15AM

i want my consoles to scream their names at me. even in the textual format. if they can't do that, why even play them?

rgoff31 @ Oct 15th 2008 8:14AM

Playstation or PlayStation or even PlayStatioN would be fine. All CAPS is for kiddies and PEBKAC people.

matt @ Oct 15th 2008 8:35AM

Honestly, I don't really care. But I chose PLAYSTATION anyway it looks cooler:P

Kira @ Oct 15th 2008 8:48AM

PlayStation, LittleBigPlanet, CamelCasingRocks

ChuckD @ Oct 15th 2008 9:47AM

A ladder to heaven? That's fuckin' stupid.

Ghoti @ Oct 15th 2008 9:55AM

Not only do I not care which they use, I'm shocked we are all here actually discussing it. I would never waste my time commenting on something so trivial.

Oh wait... Never mind.

Bryan @ Oct 15th 2008 10:03AM

I feel as though the caps are a little too pushy and "loud". The original PlayStation is much better.

SkeetSkiLee @ Oct 15th 2008 10:34AM

you can clearly see the P and the S on PlayStation which is the best part in my opinion :D

Mr. Joe @ Oct 15th 2008 10:53AM

thank you for not yelling at me anymore, playstation...

Gemini Ace @ Oct 15th 2008 11:41AM

Slow news day?

Edge @ Oct 15th 2008 11:58AM

How about the one that doesn't make Sony look like a giant PR douche crossed with a 10 year old. Making your trademarks all caps is simply bad taste and implies a huge, undeserved ego.

Now, they just have to fix SIXAXIS!1!!11lolmg and DUALSHOCK_ZORZ.
