No. Total and utter rubbish.

I could go on and on. As a paid service Sony has dropped the ball big time when it comes to basic requirements of their online offering.
No it isn't. See above.
Again see above.
Okay that was good.
The scary thing is that I'm sure many people at this point in time genuinely think this is what's going on right now at Sony.
There is a total and utter lack of acknowledgement and feedback or updates on what's going on behind the scenes. The very thing Sony was being praised for leading up to PS4 release, now however, imo MS is totally showing them up in regards to transparency and OS updates and whatever they're working on. So much so that I'm actually considering purchasing my first ever MS console.
Answer me this, when was the last time Sony actually utilised the "Live from Playstation" feature under the notifications section to tell us what's going on?
Sony just isn't interested as they seem to think "they've won."
