aznbro85 Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 (edited) Kinda random, but here goes.. Hey all, I just opened up SonicStage right now and it went into the connect musicstore, and I noticed it have a new design to the connect music store. It now follows the color-scheme/styling of the others, and the redesign makes it seem to flow more with the "Connect" layout, as opposed to the orange/white-ness that contrasted the color scheme of SonicStage CP.Anyway, I was wondering.. do you guys think this is the supposed RELAUNCH of CONNECT?And do you guys think the ebooks and the downloadable PSP games/tv shows & movies and other stuff will be coming out in the near future too?

doclloyd Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 I saw this update yesterday and am intrigued by the improvments in the site. Granted, they don't have a lot of what I'm looking for (thankfully there's Beatport.com for that!), but it's definitely an upgrade in looks and usability. I do think they should offer user-reviews and they could make search results a little easier to read. As far as the PSP goes, I think they need to do something there... I tried to visit the psp.connect.com from my PSP and I couldn't download video directly from the device. Why? Because all the links default to zip files which are downloaded from PC, extracted then copied to MS Duo (Pro). They should make the site realize it's the PSP browser and offer direct downloads available - or do it via a video RSS feed. I would love to see them offer video support within SS at some point and manage video for the PSP too (purchased videoes, etc.), but I don't know when we'll see that, if ever.

JSP62 Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 I am pretty sure we'll continue to see some changes on CONNECT. I think there are trying to seemlessly add content to be tranferable to/from the coming PS3, which can communicate with the PSP.Just a hunch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aznbro85 Posted August 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 thanks for responding doclloyd and JSP62. I agree with both of you. I was surprised when I saw that the files on psp.connect.com were ZIP, instead of being in a MP4 format or something that can be transfered directly from connect to the player. I do believe that eventually you will be able to connect into CONNECT via your wireless devices and transfer purchased material onto the device remotely, without the use of a computer.I think progress is slow, but moving. I tried http://ebooks.connect.com , and there seems to be a place holder for it. Just to make sure, I tried http://ebook.connect.com and http://movies.connect.com and http://downloads.connect.com, all of those yielding 404's. So who knows.. maybe by the end of the year, all of the portables will be somewhat more connected via this CONNECT portal.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be interesting if they allowed direct download of secure content via the PSP browser. I emailed Connect support regarding the issue of ZIP files and the PSP browser. We'll see what they say. I also noticed a category for "eBooks" alongside "PSP Video" and "Music Store". I'd like to see more content come our way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
