Again, those familiar with Xbox Live on the Xbox 360 won't find this terribly surprising, but it's worth noting that the system does show you friend sign-ins and new messages received in overlays on top of the game you're currently playing - just little notification windows which pop up to tell you about something happening with your friends list. At present, however, there's no system for actually reading or responding to messages while you're still in the game, as the operating system doesn't take resources away from games in order to do that - however, according to Harrison, that functionality may well appear in an OS update, presumably based on whether users actually express a desire for it or not
Oh - and it's all free, too. The only place you'll be asked to fork over a penny is when you purchase something in the PlayStation Store - all of the online services, from sign-up right through to voice and video chat, are free, as is normal multiplayer gaming. There's no equivalent of the Xbox Live Gold account, where you're expected to pay extra for a further tier of services - the only things you'll pay money for are paid-for downloadable content, or subscriptions to premium services like massively multiplayer games.
We're not going to talk in much depth about PlayStation Store, because what we saw was still undoubtedly being worked on frantically to prepare for the November launch. However, there are a few elements that it's worth talking about - the first of which is the Wallet, which lies at the heart of how you buy things on the Store. Unlike Nintendo and Microsoft's offerings, Sony doesn't hide the price of items behind an arbitrary "points" scheme - instead, everything simply lists a price in your local currency, so European types will see a Euro price, British people will see prices in Pounds Sterling, and so on.
Alongside the free and paid-for game content, the store will also play host to a wide range of new titles developed specifically for download (the first of which, fl0w, was shown off at TGS - dozens more PlayStation Store exclusive titles are being worked on around the world thanks to an initiative which Sony launched at GDC last year) - and as Ken Kutaragi revealed at TGS last month, it'll also be possible to buy PSone and PS2 classics you missed out on, as well as a selection of PSP games, from the PlayStation Store, and download them directly to your PS3.
Sony has some way to go before proving to people that it can do a comprehensive online gaming service. However, what we've seen is very promising. Account creation and management, buddy lists and various types of chat appear to be working just fine, the interface is simple and elegant, and the PlayStation Store, even at this early stage, looks like being one aspect of the service which will be a genuine improvement over Microsoft's offering, Xbox Live Marketplace - which is well-stocked, but has a terrible user interface that struggles to cope with the amount of content now available, and has only been marginally improved by recent updates.
المختصر :
- المتعودين على الXbox Live ماراج يكونوا متفاجئين كثير.
- عندما تلعب لعبة ما, يوجد قائمة تظهر في أعلى الشاشة بالرسائل الموجودة لديك والمستخدمين الonline حاليا, أيضا بمجرد ان تستلم رسالة جديدة أو يدخل مستخدم يطلع تنبيه لهذا الشي, لكن حتى الآن الجهاز ما يتيح قراءة الرسائل او التشات أثناء اللعب, فيل هاريسن يقول إن هذا الشي يعتمد على رغبة المستخدمين ويمكن إضافته عبر Update ( يعني تأكيد بشكل ضمني إنه ممكن تطوير وتحسين الخدمة عبر أي update ).
- الأونلاين مجاني كل شي ابتداء من اللعب العادي مرورل بالتشات الصوتي والكتابي وانتهاء بالفيديو تشات.. ماراح تدفع أي شي إلا في حالتين:
1- المحتويات القابلة للتنزيل من الPlaystation Store.
2- ألعاب الmassively multiplayer.
- على عكس سوني و ننتندو, نظام الشراء والتسعير في أونلاين الPS3 يقوم على أموال حقيقية وليس نقاط, وراح يكون مقسم حسب المناطق, مستخدمي أمريكا راح يروا الأسعار بالدولار, أوروبا باليورو, بريطانيا بالباوند.. والسعودية وقطر وعمان بالريال والامارات بالدرهم والكويت والبحرين بالدينار ( حقة دول الخليج من عندي لحد يصدق لول ).
- بإمكانك شراء وتحميل ألعاب الPS2 - PS1 وحتى مجموعة من ألعاب الPSP وتحميلها على جهازك. ألعاب البلاي ستيشن 1 و2 راح تشتغل.. لكن الPSP غالبا لا.. تشغيل ألعاب البلاي ستيشن 1 و2 من الهارد ديسك = إعدام بالسيف لل Laoding Time 😉
- في الPlaystation Store راح تكون هناك كثير ألعاب مخصصة للDownload وأولها لعبة flOw..
- الي شافه موقع يورو جيمر " واعد جدا " جسب تعبيره.. كل شي مثل الAccount creation وال management وال Buddy Lists والأنواع المتعددة من التشات كلها تعمل بشكل ممتاز.. الانترفيس بسيط وأنيق, والPlaystation Store حسب كلامهم شي مطور بشكل أفضل من الXbox Live Marketplace..
المقال الكامل هنا بالتفصيل الممل, يتحدثوا عن كل شي ابتداء من تشغيل الجهاز حتى كل شي:
