Bos10George Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 It looks like Sony finally fixed at least 1 of their mistakes. I heard they added the function to the desktop store a while ago, but the PlayStation app now has the wishlist function returned. Once we get the ability to sort games again, I can go back to spending money on games I will probably never play. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaivRules Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Before anyone asks: No, they didn’t bother to import any previous wish list PS4 titles into the relaunched wish list. You’ll have to start it from scratch. Seems like it would have been too much to expect Sony engineers to think about how much end users would appreciate that, but yet I had hope. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black__bunny Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I really wish they would just fix the store or bring back the old one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breakXedge Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Never used the wishlist and probably never will, but glad to hear they're improving their app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dry Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Is it also possible to browse your friends' wishlists just like on the OG Browser Store or was this forgotten like every other small feature Sony has taken way from us for the sake of inconvenience?

sealightbreeze Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I enjoy using the wish list. It's easy to find things that you want 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JourneySilvers Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I'm super happy the wishlist is back, since I mostly buy digital games when they go on sale. Wishlist is a great way to check on the games I'm interested in without having to endlessly scroll through every sale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkirye22 Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Oh do I envy the souls that have a wishlist spanning back, entirety of mine is at the mercy of the future and ever repeated delays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiefMichigan Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Good. I wish they would've migrated our old list, but alas. It was stupid as heck to get rid of the wishlist, so I'm glad it's back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trini Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 I never understood the concept of stripping preexisting features and reintroducing them, why can't they just have them available day 1? Wishlist was (and still is) a beneficial feature and I can't see in any way why anyone would not want it implemented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have to recreate functionality from another code base inside a new framework. And when it’s all being created from scratch on a new project and on a timeline, there is an order to which features get recreated. It’s a bit like saying every new house that’s built starts by stripping all the bathrooms and the kitchen and not understanding why they couldn’t use the same kitchen that was in another house.

tony_snake_24 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 I think part of the reason they took down the previous wishlist feature was to make you forget about any ps3 or vita content you still wanted to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the feature exist now within the store, so how is that not stripping when it was there previously? It had to take the community to band together and push them to roll it out, maybe they would have done it eventually but it surely wasn't coming on the horizon anytime soon. They had to rework the entire PSN store anyway so why is that somehow a lesser task than the wishlist? Edited April 18, 2021 by Trini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, "who's to say", we won't have any probability that they would implement it it all if the community's impact didn't have something to say about it.

Djeheuty Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Probably a dumb question but I don’t get how to delete purchased games from the wishlist in the PS app. Once purchased there’s no more heart icon on the games and they’re locked into my wishlist.

That sounds like a bug - they are supposed to remove themselves from your wishlist automatically once purchased - mine certainly have been doing so - so there is probably not a manual way to do it. May be worth deleting the app and redownloading? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried but unfortunately didn’t work, all the games are still there labelled as purchased, maybe it’s a bug in this version of the app. Only option available is to dl the games on console but even if I do they won’t remove. 17 minutes ago, Deadly_Ha_Ha said: Is there a wishlist on this site?

That's a bummer - I can imagine that would be super annoying! The app does go through pretty quick revisions, so hopefully it should sort itself out at the next update - bit of a silly oversight if they don't fix that! EDIT - wait - I just realised - do you mean the app on the actual console? I though we were talking about the app on phones sorry if I misled you!

No you understood correctly, I actually meant the app on phone. It’s indeed annoying because I can’t add new games as it says wishlist is full when I could actually delete at least 15 games. Well I guess i’ll have to wait for next update and hope it gets fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
