Today I tried to buy the Fallout 3 expansion packs from your PSN store.

Irritation #1: First I looked under “Game Add-Ons”, but instead of showing me expansions for the games I have it showed me add-ons for a bunch of games I don’t have, and not ones I was looking for were not listed. I did find them by scrolling through “new releases” though.

Irritation #2: One I went through the clumsy add-to-cart process for the four items I wanted, I tried to buy them. But instead of paying for things they force you to “add money to wallet”, and then “remove items from wallet”. This is a completely unnecessary step and makes the purchase process more annoying than it should be.

Irritation #3: One I went through their wallet process and tried to actually “add money to wallet”, my credit card was declined as the expiration date had changed. To change the expiration date, I had to go to “account management”. To get to this page, I had to exit the store. Exiting the store means I lost the contents of my cart and had to do it all over again.

Irritation #4: Once I got the correct credit card information into my account, and re-added all of my games, I successfully added the funds to my “wallet” and then immediately removed them again to buy the game. Now I tried to download the games, and it said that I didn’t have enough space to download them! Of course, to free up space I’d have to exit the store, and now that I’ve actually paid for stuff I don’t really want to do that and risk losing everything I paid for. So what I did was download each item in the background one by one and select “download in background”. Then I could exit the store without worrying.

Irritation #5: To clear up the disk space I had to sift through my saved games one by one. I have dozens of saved games for games I no longer want to play, but I have to use their clumsy 3 step process for every single saved game I want to delete. Please let me bundle some together!

Irritation #6: I want a pony. Where’s my frigging pony?
