Way, way back in March, the PlayStation Blog announced PlayStation.Blog Share , a spot where gamers could post ideas on how to improve the PlayStation experience and other users could vote to determine what ideas stood out from the pack.

Basically, it's an ongoing election to get the best ideas in front of the people who make your PlayStation.Like any commentators worth their salt, we at IGN have watched from the sidelines as the ideas have developed and the fur has flown in the comments section, but now we're ready to endorse 10 ideas that we think Sony has to implement on the console we all know and love. There are hundreds of great ideas on the site, but these are the ones that we think need to get pushed through ASAP.We're IGN, and we approve this message.

You really don't need to look at the vote to see that this is the No. 1 request from most PlayStation 3 users – it's so in demand that Sony has to respond that it's "looking into it" whenever they talk firmware updates. The PlayStation community is a haven for lots of gamers, and those gamers want to be able to discuss Predators while playing different titles. The fact that Xbox Live has had this feature for so long only adds fuel to the cross game chat fire that burns in so many PS3 souls.Something that's flown under the radar for many PS3-crazy gamers seems to torment a select few – the inability to change your name. This is something Xbox Live actually lets you do (albeit for a fee), yet it's something you can't do on PlayStation Network. Before Trophies, it made sense that you would make a new PSN name if you didn't like your old one, but PlayStation Network is nearing its fourth birthday, and people are invested in their Trophies, game/DLC purchases, and more. Charge a small fee and let people change their PlayStation Network IDs. It really can't be that hard to allow us to do that, and it's frustrating that it's not an option… especially because Japanese gamers can already do it on their version of PSN. So, why can't we?Here's one that's actually caused a rift in the community. Some want PlayStation 2 classics on the PlayStation Store, while others want backwards compatibility restored to PS3s in general. We'd be happy with either, but for the moment, we're backing PS2 titles on the store. Backwards compatibility has been stripped from the systems; let's move on and get the best titles from one of the best libraries on the cheap.OK. We're using this SOCOM II post as an example of what should be done with awesome PS2 games if backwards compatibility is gone and we're never getting PS2 games on the store. SOCOM II is a game that fostered the SOCOM community and gave the PS2's online a title to boast about. Why not take this game – and other touchstone titles – and revamp it for the PS3? Releasing a pimped out version of SOCOM II with Trophies, online, and a reduced price would be a great way to get folks pumped for SOCOM 4 . Sure, the HD collections are nice, but really pimping out the PS2's greatest games would be awesome.
