   @aqeel I don't think I'm going to add any contacts on #PSN. On the rare occasion I am home and I turn the #PS3 or #PS4 on, it is time to install an update. By the time the update is finished, I no longer have time or inclination to play.

      @lnxw48a1 This is one of the things that people blame for resurgent PC gaming. Before the PS3 and 360, game consoles were more convenient than PCs. Now with patches and install times and system updates PC, Xbox, and PS are all just about as bad.

      @lnxw48a1 Nintendo, of course, stands out, but that's due to two things: 1: Nintendo holds a patent on downloading updates while the system is suspended. If you own a WiiU (I think *you* do but for the benefit of others) you'll sometimes turn it on and see a notification that like Smash Bros has been updated. Same deal on the Switch. The only exception is games you own physically, where the disk has to be in for it to update.

      @lnxw48a1 I figured, so cancelled the friend request yesterday that I sent out years ago :P I pretty much never play multi player either. PSN friends are just there because PSN allows us to add them :) And I guess it's better to have friends, than not have them.
