Talk:PlayStation Network

message: This language is inherently promotional and unencyclopedic, and should be rewritten. For example, everything after "service" could (and should) be removed and the encyclopedic fact that is being described would still be perfectly understood without the unnecessary public relations pablum. Other editors have reverted my removal of this language, as well as maintenance tags; so I am bringing the discussion to the talk page. --Regards, James(talk/contribs) 19:51, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Could it not be argued that a direct quote from Sony is acceptable providing (1) it helps to elucidate the fundamental purpose of the network (2) it is properly attributed?  is obviously excessive and important to avoid. Our sentence is positively limp by comparison. I trimmed it down, in any case, but left the part referring to a constant "PlayStation World" network because that helps to define PSN from what Sony operated before with its old dial-up meshwork.  — TPX 23:03, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Promotional language 

message: Since joining PSN is mandatory for using the internet via the PlayStation, even for non-Sony material, the 'membership' numbers need to be qualified.46.208.25.163 (talk) 17:05, 17 November 2017 (UTC)

thread_title: 'Membership' numbers

message: Those lists were a great source to look up every game that has ever been on PS Plus and they seem to be gone. Is there a reason for this?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.236.169.28 (talk) 11:45, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  Lists of Instant Game Collection games 

message: I was looking at the different Xbox services and noticed that they all had their own pages. Xbox Live, Xbox Game Pass, and Xbox Cloud Gaming each have a page while Playstation Plus is relagted to a subtopic on the main PlayStation Network. PlayStation Now does have its own page too but considering how important Playstation Plus is to the Playstation brand and Sony, shouldn't it get its own page considering also that it will now starting acting like Xbox Game Pass too? Even all of Nintendo's different online services also have their own pages as well: Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, WiiConnect24, Nintendo Network, & Nintendo Switch Online AquilaXIII (talk) 05:52, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Xbox Live Gold redirects to Xbox Live, just as PlayStation Plus redirects to PlayStation Network, so the existing arrangement appears correct.  — Niche-gamer 12:32, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

text: Judging the way other articles "do it" should mostly be avoided. Sometimes one person's idea slips through the policy/protocol net. A standalone PS+ article would be a permanent stub at best. - Seasider53 (talk) 12:47, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
