I thought the PSN Store was perfect as it was. I'd really love the NXE to introduce a store as good as this.
Actually, the biggest thing I hope the NXE brings is the ability to queue downloads via games. I hate having to download each file separately in RB.

Seriously? I hate the PSN's navigation, I find it really difficult to find items that I'm interested in. That said, I've never used the 360's store, so I can't compare them - maybe it's comparatively good.
I've also discovered that PS Store navigation is different in different regions. My negative opinions are based on the EU store. The US store is easier to navigate. I really wish they'd standardise. They could bring the releases in sync while they do it.

How is it hard to navigate in any way? You click the icon of what you want (games, demos, PSX classics, PSP games, videos, and themes and BGs). From there, you're given genres and then a submenu for that. I've never had any problems quickly finding what I'm searching for in the PSN store. Although a search function would be grand.

Interesting since Capcom not too long ago had really snubbed the PS3 by taking away Monster Hunter 3 entirely, losing exclusivity for DMC4, having 5gb mandatory installs for DMC4 and Lost Planet, and a mediocre port of Lost Planet.
I'm not really surprised at the actions they have taken but it looks like the PS3 is becoming valuable to them like the 360 has been.

Or I guess, like EA, they pretty much saw the sales on PS3 and said amongst themselves "can we really afford to say FUCK THESE PEOPLE? I mean, they ARE buying games."

Sheppy: that could be it. People are becoming more familiar with the PS3, more people are buying them, and it's becoming a more attractive console to develop on.
On the other hand, there's no way to grow sales without developing for all consoles. When you have shareholders breathing down your neck, any portion of the market you neglect is going to come back and haunt you.

I doubt it! The amount of effort it would take is probably 100x as much as the PSP versions and it would sell waaaaaaaaaaaay less. They'll probably keep using the Wii engine they made for future Wii expansions and keep redoing the PSP expansions.

Funny enough, I think it would perfom better then the handheld version.
A MH MMORPG would be quite unique, in HD, with damage visible and monsters constantly escaping etc, the game could be quite amazing :)
Definatly more then DMC was ¬_¬

Capcom is Capcom. You have to pay $3 to unlock the Capcom is the bomb mode.

say what you want about their DLC, but their games have gotten more play time on my PS3 than pretty much anything else. Probably cause I'm still an old school game at heart :)
Either way, Endless mode for Mega Man 9 is the awesomest thing to happen to the series ever, and I had no problem paying $3 for it. I've probably gotten at least 5 hours of entertainment out of Endless alone - perfectly worth the 3 bucks they charged for it.

Yeah, but PC gaming is irrelevant. Go over to BigDownload, I'm sure your tastes are catered to over there.

Wasting your time playing on an archaic system, probably playing mediocre games. Bluntly.

Referencing Archaic to PC gaming just reduced your comment spamming credibility to 0.

Yes, the PC has existed since the 80's and the 360 has existed since 2005, so your impeccable logic obviously means that the PC is too old to play games.
Strange then that it has the better graphics, a larger market share than any console and more people playing online than any console.
But of course, facts and opinions are obviously mutually exclusive to people on the same level of cretin-itude as yourself.

What's the 360 got to do this, Hag? I'm in no way a 360 head, in fact, a little research will shop that I despise the console. And what's marketshare, the amount of people playing online, better graphics got to do with me; how does that effect my worldview on video games? Since when do these trivial matters effect how one has fun?
You sound like a poor marketing student. First year, Hag?
Finally, what's with the silly insults? Are you so base that you cannot argue without devolving to mudslinging.

Apologies that I didn't deem you worthy of researching in order to form an accurate critique - 360 was shorthand for console.
I guess your definition of fun is very different from mine, but it's my opinion that squinting at a TV and spending several seconds trying to line up a headshot with an analogue stick doesn't quite satisfy me as much as being fully in control of my game.
Sure, mediocre games exist for the PC because it's easy to develop for. That same factor means that it enjoys large numbers of great multiplatform games with better graphics, controls and involvement than console counterparts.
Besides, you said that PC gaming was irrelevant (hence the market share and people playing online points) - you can't just change what you were arguing to make it look like you didn't lose.
And if being called a cretin really upset you then I suggest you stay off the internet for good.

The top movie at the moment, I think, is Beverly Hills Chihuahua. It's made over $60million; but it still remains irrelevant to me, and many more millions of people. What's your point, Hag.
You're using well too many assumptions, kid.

So PC gaming is equivalent to Beverly Hills Chihuahua. I'm glad we can agree on something, Hag.

I definitely like the idea, but you'd think EA would be the first to get this treatment? I mean, they've released 2 FULL retail games on PSN already, and you'd think they'd want to push that. But then again, they have taken down demos (including Burnout Paradise's).

Downloadable titles....how many EA downloadable PSN titles can you think of?
Capcom has the most, so they get thier own store, I'm guessing Konami or Namco will get one next. I can't think of anything EA has made DLC at this moment in time.

Oops sry, yeah, Burnout included, but in comparison to Capcom, they are still lacking.
