Tropedia

  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

As both Xbox 360 and Wii had their own digital distribution system, so must Sony have one for the PlayStation 3 and Play Station Portable. The system seems to aim for a medium between Xbox Live Arcade and Wii Ware, favouring both new downloadable games (usually a slightly more non-standard kind than Xbox Live Arcade) and games from the first Play Station. Although, it should be noted that the selection of PSOne Classics in Japan rivals even that of the Virtual Console, while other regions are a bit wanting at the moment. PSN is even beginning to have Sega Genesis and Turbo Grafx 16 games available, as well as a huge release of updated Neo Geo games (along with their own controller). While the Japanese service is better than its western alternatives, the Play Station Network is still in the ring against both Xbox Live Arcade and Nintendo's pair of services.

Currently, the digital delivery system is not exactly having a good time. External attacks by hackers (who also seem to have stolen data by the crapload) have caused a massive shutdown to the Play Station Network. However, these news have been heard a lot by now, so for other details you can just check The Other Wiki.

Currently, Sony's "Welcome Back program" has just been revealed, at last, with - as promised - two free games out of five (for PS3 users) or four (for PSP users). The problem is that the games offered were major games (such as Little Big Planet) with sequels either out or coming out, annoying several users. Sony, however, quickly assured the userbase that they were going for quality rather than quantity.
