Messaging through PSN...

Subject: Messaging through PSN... Sat Nov 01, 2014 5:12 pm

Is a total joke.

I've sent several messages over the past week, and it takes literally minutes to get from being told you've received a message to actually being able to read it. Even the PSN app isn't much better, I'm frequently told it cannot connect to server within time despite having super-duper fibreoptic Broadband.

I don't want to be that guy, but as I'm probably the only one on the forum who can, Xbox Live's messaging is far superior, which is a shame as PSN has come on massively in the last five years.

its only the ps4... ps3 & vita are instant

The app is crap too.

Why should PS4 be so much worse than Vita or PS3 though?

Even deleting old messages takes forever.

Don't worry, just leave it and it'll probably wipe your entire message history for no reason like it did for me a week ago.

It has just taken seven minutes to open a reply. It really needs fixing, it is baffling how it has been left like this for a year. Utterly ludicrous.

What's a Norfolk accent?

But then I won't be able to listen to this poetry:

Boy toy named Troy used to live in Detroit
Big dope dealer money, he was getting some coins
Was in shootouts with the law, but he live in a palace
Bought me Alexander McQueen, he was keeping me stylish
Now that's real, real, real,
Gun in my purse, bitch I came dressed to kill
Who wanna go first? I had them pushing daffodils
I'm high as hell, I only took a half of pill
I'm on some dumb shit
By the way, what he say?
He can tell I ain't missing no meals
Come through and fuck 'em in my automobile

Pray you never find out!

(I actually don't think my accent is that strong, but there are occasions when I know I've let slip the odd Norfolk turn of phrase.)

I'm glad you agree, unlike Neo who hates her and her music because she's not white with blond hair and blue eyes.

I'll find out, I'm a bit curious now.

Norfolk is traditionally a very agricultural county, and the accent has the tendency to make you sound like a bit of a country bumpkin. For instance, when saying "really", with a Norfolk accent it sounds like you're saying "rarely". Likewise, in Norfolk, if you go for a drink you have "a bear" rather than "a beer," and you don't go "home" for the evening, you go "hoom".
