MATtheHAT Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 Just read that review, think I'll just wait for Pixel Junks effort then.

flameboy Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 (edited) Anyone tried out the freebie comics for the soon to be released Digital Comics service? We’ve partnered with some of the biggest names in comics, and some very creative independents, to bring you comics straight to your PSP. You’re maybe thinking “How’s that going to work on the PSP’s beautiful, yet compact, screen?” Well we think we’ve solved that with AutoFlow! With AutoFlow all you have to do is hit one button and the camera will float over the page to the next panel, panning and zooming automatically. We also let you move around manually if you want to get up close and personal with your comic. To really appreciate how this works you need to see it in action – more on this below. So which publishers should you expect to see on the service? Here’s an A-Z rundown of the ones we can talk about so far and some of their highlights: 2000AD – Featuring Judge Dredd, Durham Red… Disney – Follow the adventures of Mickey Mouse, Scrooge McDuck, Donald Duck…. IDW – Astro Boy, Transformers, Star Trek, Wormwood… Insomnia – Burke & Hare, Cages, Cancer Town… Insomnia and Geek Syndicate are also running a competition iVerse – Who bring us content from Ape Entertainment, Archie Comics, Dabel Brothers, Image & Red 5. Marvel – Astonishing X-Men, Captain America, Fantastic Four, Iron Man, The Amazing Spider-Man Titan – Wallace & Gromit We’ll announce some more great publishers soon. You can be prepared for the Comic Store launch in mid December by updating your PSP with the latest firmware and downloading the free Digital Comics reader via the link on the XMB or via the website if you don’t have WiFi. Once you’ve done that redeem these codes for some free sample comics from IDW via your PSP, instructions are here Star Trek: Enterprise Experiment #1 (ages 9+) Astro Boy Movie Adaptation #1 (ages 3+) UK: MH75 – L3BF – HA95 & FG9D – NFBB – GQ33 Ireland: CET2 – GQBA – LGDB & 2EAJ – PTBH – TLE5 Australia: BC8L – E9B8 – G975 & H3BL – JPB8 – 6T8Q New Zealand: EK6C – KHBQ – RAKT & JQR4 – 97B7 – BHFG South Africa: F9GA – MFB9 – 9L57 & JLQ5 – C4BT – GFCF All codes are valid until 16th December and the usual T&Cs apply It’s been reported that some people are having trouble with codes, if you get an 8010A12E error then we apologise and point you to this fix I hope that whets your comic appetite! We should have more than 500 comics on the store when we launch in mid December in UK, Ireland, US, South Africa, New Zealand & Australia. After that we will be updating the store on a weekly basis. If you want to keep up to date visit our website at http://www.playstationcomics.com where, come mid December, you will be able to browse the entire catalogue and become a part of the PlayStation Digital Comics community. We will even have a blog that’s dedicated to all things comics, plus you can also follow us on Twitter @psncomics Last, but not least, how much will these comics cost. Well it depends on the publisher as they get to choose how much each comic costs. But we think you’ll be pleased. We’ll also have a few more free ones for you to try. Let me know in the comments who else you’d like to see on the service and how you’ve found the reader so far.

Happenstance Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 I was going to try them last night but I couldnt be bothered to charge my PSP so I could update the firmware, with my crappy battery it'd only last about an hour anyway.
drahkon Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 As MATtheHAT recommended I'm thinking about making a UK account. Just some questions about that: If I got a - let's say - US version of a game and want to download some DLC for that will I be able to use the DLC with this game? If I can and I download and install the DLC can I play the DLC with my other account, as well?
Emasher Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 I don't know specifically about DLC, but all other downloadable content is not locked to one account, everyone on the system can access it. Just to be safe, you're best bet would be to download the DLC from the account that corresponds with the region of the game that you own.
flameboy Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 I was going to try them last night but I couldnt be bothered to charge my PSP so I could update the firmware, with my crappy battery it'd only last about an hour anyway. I've tried it...pretty good...all in all there are 3 freebies to be had to try out the service, Transformers, Star Trek and Astroboy...Love autoflow feature, it doesn't just go from panel to panel it majestically swoops around them in an attempt to almost bring them to life and it does kinda work... The only comics I own are Robocop VS Terminator but with this application could see myself picking up some comics...
Happenstance Posted November 29, 2009 Posted November 29, 2009 I doubt id use it much anyway, I prefer having my comics in trade form on my bookshelf
flameboy Posted November 29, 2009 Posted November 29, 2009 I doubt id use it much anyway, I prefer having my comics in trade form on my bookshelf See I'm not all that bothered is different with games and dvds but never collected comics and can't see myself ever having the inclination to do so but might buy stuff on here if the pricing is right...surely it has to be cheaper than print?
dwarf Posted November 29, 2009 Posted November 29, 2009 (edited) I've decided to have a small games clear out. I've put Borderlands, Unreal Tournament III, Little Big Planet and Motorstorm Pacific Rift on eBay. Edit: + Uncharted: Drakes Fortune. Might add Dirt 2 to that because whilst it's a great game, really is very good, there's just a lack of incentive to play it. They got the difficulty all wrong - other than an irrelevant couple of grand extra cash for completing a race on a harder difficulty, there is no reason to scrape your way through the higher difficulties. If they had trophies, greater unlocks or even if they halted your progression until you completed x number of races on a higher difficulty I would feel more obliged to continue. Still, it's hanging in the balance. It goes for a lot on eBay (around 25 quid) so that would mean I would make a £12 profit after postage and ebay fees are taken into account.

Daft Posted November 29, 2009 Posted November 29, 2009 This trophy syncing thing is really pissing me off now. I want to sync my ACII Platinum!!
flameboy Posted November 29, 2009 Posted November 29, 2009 This trophy syncing thing is really pissing me off now. I want to sync my ACII Platinum!! yeah is really pissing me off to
Daft Posted November 29, 2009 Posted November 29, 2009 Funnily enough it synced just after I posted that. I had to double check to make sure. I was in shock. 6 Platinums now! Utterly pointlessness trophy win!
dwarf Posted November 29, 2009 Posted November 29, 2009 Trophies float in and out of my perception of importance. They aren't of course, which makes me feel dumb in retrospect; sitting at my computer tapping out how I've been slogging for a trophy so that an uncaring forum community knows how big a tosser I am.
Daft Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 It's an easy hit of satisfaction. Barely worth it but when you're slogging away at something else that requires a lot more effort, it's nice to get that fix. I only seem to go for Platinums when I have exams or essays. Got four Platinums earlier this year during exams and now I have four mammoth essays I've got another two and have another two in my sites. It's just transference, I guess. Strangely enough it keeps me motivated, overall. A bit like raising my moral.
dwarf Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 Transference is a tad strong. I think the reason some people give a shit can be attributed to recognition. You have you're achievements written down for future reference - It's nice to know that one day will come* where someone will unexpectedly jump out at you to quiz you're trophy abilities, and you will be able to provide evidence proving that you've got something in your locker. *This unintentionally turned into a joke post highlighting the pointlessness of them again.
MATtheHAT Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 I've toned down in the Trophy whoring now. I'm even at 91% in ACII but can't really be arsed to get the last one or two Trophies. I would not have done that 3 months ago. I would have sat at my TV, playing until I had every last one of them. They are probably "floating in and out of my perception of importance" as DG puts it. Having said that, I'm close to Platinum on MW2 and I know I will get it. So maybe its more about the game.....
dwarf Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 Well you definitely will get that ACII platinum, stop kidding yourself.
Tellyn Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 I'm thinking of getting a few PS1 games, but the memory stick I currently have is full (only 32MB). Where's the cheapest place to get a decent sized one?
MATtheHAT Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 Well you definitely will get that ACII platinum, stop kidding yourself. Maybe when they float back into my perception of importance?
Caris Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 I have a sealed 2gb Sony one from when I had a PSP if you want it?
Ike Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 PSP GO £148.99 today only at HMV.com if anyone is interested. Anyone?
flameboy Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 For Iphone and touch users, a free app that lets you send your pictures over to the PS3 for viewing/copy etc. Wireless in XMB. Its called iMediaShare http://www.appletell.com/apple/comment/free-apps-roundup-for-november-13th-2009/ Works pretty well for me. Its one of the features that i was worried about not having when i got an iPhone! meh seems alright...I'm getting an iphone in the next month or so so will probably download it but its not exactly an amazing killer app!
MATtheHAT Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 Thing is it saves the hassle of plugging in a wire, which you probably wont carry. It like the wifi cameras which let you view pics without wires on the PS3. Handy when you need it or need ot do a quick slideshow. Now only if the Iphone camera were better :p In other news. Yakuza 3 is coming to Europe on Disk! Sometime Marchish.
