We have updated the list to a new database format... if any of the CONTRIBUTERS listed above have any feedback, questions, etc feel free to post them here.

Otherwise, just use this thread only for posting PSN Requests and PS3 Theme links from now on and post all other PSN URL Links at the new database! THANKS to all members who continue to keep this up-to-date!

PSN Link Page Suggestion List:

Here will go any suggestions which users can post below, along with relevant feedback/status on each.

• option to see the full URL.. its difficult to copy it to the proxy.
• additional fields that could be useful: Size, Need Activation (Y/N), Comments, Date Added (Note: This is now added)
Quote:
Size: It is useful to know how big is a game without having to click to download them. Also to sort demos by size...
Need Activation (Y/N): All full games need activation, but also a few demos require activation too. These ones only can be installed from the Download List in the PSN store.
Comments: For instance Formula One EUR has different tracks, MGO beta required a Konami id, etc. Comments/Need Activation can be merged in a single field.
Date Added: Useful to know what's new in the list.
• summary of the recent additions or sort the list by default addition date desc.
Quote:
Sort by region by clicking the Region column's title: http://psn.ps3news.com/index.php?s=4

Latest additions can sort by date the same way, using: http://psn.ps3news.com/index.php?s=7
• automatic dupecheck when adding an entry, for future submissions
• removal of existing dupes from the list
• note if the game is working or not
• column for the submitter's nickname for "credit" (but no +Rep here for submissions, that is not possible per CJPC)




What we need volunteers for (people who actually use the list) are:

• users willing to locate and list existing dupes, so that we (the Staff) can manually remove them from the database
• users willing to compile a list of the link file sizes (viewable when you click each link), so they can be manually entered by the Staff
• users willing to create a working/non-working list so when that column is added they can be manually entered by the Staff

If you are available to volunteer for any of the above, post below... the sooner we have volunteers, the sooner updates to the list will be made. For example, we aren't going to add a File Size or Working/Non-working Column if nobody is willing to compile a list for them.

Please do not volunteer unless you actually use the lists, and know what you are doing... as always, this is NOT a "help" thread.

Relevant NOTES from aldostools:

For the "working/non-working list" there is a simple rule:
- All Betas, Full games, PSP demos, PS1 games for PSP/PS3, activation PKG and Add-Ons require activation (thus not work unless you have the item listed in your Download List)
- All demos that don't require activation should work with the proxy download methods).
- Demos/Apps that require activation (thus not work unless you have the demo listed in your Download List) are:
* Def Jam: Icon Demo, EA SPORTS Fantasy Football Live Draft Tracker, Echochrome Demo, Lair Demo, Mainichi Issho, MX vs ATV: Untamed Demo, NHL 08 Demo, The Darkness Demo.
