The lights are on
Sony has opened up a new section of its blog encouraging PlayStation fans to submit and vote on ideas to improve the experience on Sony platforms. Want to be heard? This is your chance.
PlayStation.Blog Share is a place where you can submit an idea you have as well as vote on others' suggestions. This can range from a gripe to a brilliant way forward, and it can encompass anything from the PS3 to PS2 to accessories or software. Once you login with your PlayStation ID, you can search for duplicate ideas, or if what you want to comment on hasn't already been entered, the site will ask you for the focus of your idea (i.e. PSN, PS3, etc.), the title, and then a 200 character explanation.
If you don't have a specific idea, but want to champion something someone else has already come up with, the front page allows you to vote, Digg style, on ideas with a simple thumbs up, thumbs down mechanic. The blog also has a leaderboard of members' top-rated ideas.
Want cross-game voice chat or emulation for PS2 games on your new PS3? Let Sony know and start the momentum of public opinion rolling.

I wish nintendo would do something like this it a good idea.
this is a great idea, microsoft should try something like this...
I give $ony Credit for letting the gamer$ $HARE THEIR IDEA$!!! Will $ony $hare the REVENUE!!!!
This is a great Public Relations move. Other companies should take note and do this too.
nintendo wont listen to anything anybody says, they like to set their own trend on their own time, so i doubt nintendo will do anything like this anytime soon. unless you count their club nintendo surveys.
emulation for ps2 games on ps3. let use download them finally.
It will be a good idea as long as Sony LISTENS to what people have to say and does something about it.
Awesome idea Sony. :)
Good idea, I wonder how effective it will be.
That's pretty smart, well done Sony
Why do I have a strange feeling that all this is is Sony's way of finding out what people want the most, and then putting all those features into the "Paid" version of PSN that has been rumored.
microsoft dont need to do this for me xbox live is the best online service of the 3 mayor consoles
Thats cool. Its good to hear sony might start listening to fans as well as Naughty Dog and other developers do.
Excellent.
that is a great idea.
Wait to see if they actually do anything before you start championing them.
I wonder how much time and money Sony spent coming up with the idea to ask people for their ideas?
Now that we have the chance; we all need to insist on the release of the original PS3 boomarang controller.

That would be hilarious.
