Thought I'd update this after realizing somethings. Look at the bottom for new content.
Do you like receiving demos every week? We all do, I mean who doesn't like free content? But, like stated in our earlier articles, why wait for one day to receive it all?
Why not give us a constant flow of demos throughout the week, including videos, wallpapers, themes, and such? With a constant flow, that doesn't make Thursday a big day that all PLAYSTATION 3 owners have to look too per week, and for the rest of the week, the store is actually visited.
If you check the stores on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, & Wednesday, it's going to be the exact same as it was on Thursday. That makes the store boring.
We need constant updates, something daily going on. Thursdays should not be an official update day. Why put us on a schedule? Nobody likes being on one.
Get more into it as well. I think PLAYSTATION 3 owners deserve to get the demos and content Xbox 360 owners receive. If you look at multiplatform demos, Xbox 360 has them all, and PLAYSTATION 3 has a small portion. Sony needs to get in touch with these third parties and pursue them to make demos for the PLAYSTATION Network as well.
We like to expand on our topics, and this issue was brought up in the "Thoughts on the Network" article, expect to see more expanding.
Update: October 21, 2007
If anybody ever visits the Japanese PLAYSTATION Store or visit the Japanese PLAYSTATION Store site, then you'll notice that their updates aren't so weekly. If you look at their updates, they've received content on the 20th, 18th, 17th, 15th, and 11th. Between those two periods, we've only received two updates.

The unfortunate thing is that this has been stated by this website probably almost a dozen times in the past few months.
But don't let that stop you from continuing to bring this up.
As I've said many times also is that in order for ANY store to be successful -- whether that be online or brick & mortar -- you have to keep customers coming back and as often as possible. With an update every Thursday the idea of going there any other day during the week is a complete waste of time.
And why after a year do we STILL only have a few PSOne titles? I can almost understand not seeing the PS2 titles -- since the system is still available -- but the store should be crawling with PSOne games. It's almost blasphemy that there's not more of those titles available.
I really wonder what will come of the PS2 titles that will eventually make their way to the store. With the new 40GB missing everything necessary to decode PS2 titles it's anyone's guess how or if it will ever work.
One can only hope that as Home gets closer to release that we'll see a REAL store with better offerings and more frequent updates.
This is just my own thought, but I think Sony is doing this right now because they are busy with other things. Instead of putting demos and whatnot up for dl pronto, they put it on a waiting list so to speak and upload it on thursday. I think they are busy with Home and 2.00 right now, which are much bigger fish that they have to fry. Making people wait until Thursday is probably just for convenience for them. It's hard to get work done when you have all these little tasks to do on the side. Hence, they do it once a week to optimize efficiency. That's my take, but I don't know.
i completely agree
i hate having to wait for every update, why not just seperate them out, so the store is not dead the rest of the week
i would like to receive a good amount of demos as well as live does
