Today saw the release of firmware 2.30 for the Sony Playstation 3. This update consists of a change to the Playstation Store regarding functionality and layout. The Playstation Store will no longer use the PS3's built in browser, resulting in faster navigation. There has also been a change to the layout of the Store providing improved navigation and categorization.
Personally, I'm impressed with the Playstation Store update and find it much easier to use. Please post your thoughts... |

We (GN) would like to announce that as we speak a new GamersNation is currently in production. For those of you who are part of the GamersNation Facebook community, you are already aware of this news and indeed the development of a newer, more shiny GamersNation.
So why the change?
GamersNation's functionality for its users is severaly limited regarding access of specific content. With this I mean news items that are submitted are not categorised or more curicially, presented to you the user in a way we feel would provide an ultimate gaming service. For example, within our current website, searching for a news item regarding a specific game or event displays only news items related to your search string. All content within the new website in production categorises each entry, so searching for a specific game or other item also displays all and any other content that is related from screenshots to videos and articles to achievements on a single page.

It doesn't seem that long ago since Christmas, at least not for me. But once again we come to this time of year, full of festive cheer and on behalf of GamersNation I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
I would also like to announce GamersNation's Christmas Present to you all (although due to the Royal Mail, it wont be delivered on time). Yes, that's right, over the last few months the GamersNation Team, particularly Red and Fronty, have been hard at work on a BRAND NEW GamersNation Website - conveniently named "GN3".
Although full details can't be disclosed at the moment, we can promise a whole new level of user interaction, content and features which we are sure you will enjoy!
We look forward to seeing you all on GamersNation in the New Year and remember, don't eat too much Turkey! |

The eSport Symposium held in Seoul, the capital city of South-Korea finished last week and the people over at GotFrag have written a nice summary piece about the event where "Ten world leaders sit down at the table to discuss the future of electronic sports."
The eSport Symposium discussed many key issues regarding eSports as a whole including how best to take advantage of this exploding market as well as the success South Korea has experienced regarding the "Branding" of gamers.
The 10 "World Leaders" were:

As mentioned on the Battlefield web site, plans are under way to compensate players for stats lost during their recent Battlefield 2 stats outage. According to PlanetBattlefield, EA decided to grant active players during the outage an additional 2000 points plus a gold star (wheeee!):
Following the June outage of Battlefield 2 player stats, DICE and EA have been working to compensate all players who were active during that time for the frustrating inconvenience we realise this issue represented. We were particularly eager to provide this as it was recently discovered that stats from some 64 player servers during the outage period cannot be recovered as we had previously believed and sincerely hoped. Stats from smaller servers should be unaffected however we realise this still represents a disappointing loss of play time recognition for some players and wish to apologise for that unanticipated outcome.
After examining all the options, it has been decided that players who were active during the stats outage will be granted an additional 2000 points as well as a gold star. This will be awarded to over 150,000 affected players from midnight onwards (US West coast time) on Wednesday August 8th. We hope this goes some way towards redressing the balance and wish to again apologise for the frustration this stats issue represented for many of you.
See you all on the Battlefield. |

EA announces that they've repaired the Battlefield 2 Stats System:
The issue with Battlefield 2 stats not tracking has now been resolved. After the cause was isolated a fix was put into place by the server team earlier this week. Having monitored the situation for the past few days we are now convinced that this was effective in resolving the problem. A smaller issue with Special Forces army play time not tracking was also resolved shortly after it was pointed out to us by community members this week.
We would like to apologise for any frustration caused by both these issues, we hope you enjoy earning your unlocks and ranks now that system is working as intended. |
