david.dakota Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Is the play station store THE WORST digital download store in existence? I find all e-stores appalling; they lack two major functions: Decent recommendationsAll these companies have a decent amount of data on us all but they're failing to utilise it - even Android Market (with Google knowing pretty much everything about me fails to provide decent recommendations. Decent SearchSearch is always pretty poor, with irrelevant results being pulled in to results. Could it be anything to do with my ps3 as my Internet is usually lightening! Could be. Maybe the wifi transmitter/receiver is packing in. Try a speed test (there was one which you could use on Wii, is there one on PS3?) and compare it to a PC speed test. Could be interference- Christmas Tree lights are a fucker for it (although I would hope that you've taken that down by now. I have to say after owning a PS3 for 18 months, its feeling pretty shoddy. Its noisier than the prostitute in Se7en and just feels like its about to give up the ghost at any moment.
flameboy Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 What the fuck happened on the tester? Egoraptor gone? God damn it. Geez spoilers!
Debug Mode Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Geez spoilers! Come on boy, it's out every Tuesday, step it up! But seriously, apologies for the spoilers but I thought those of us that actually watch this crap would have watched it by now heh. The best thing about the show are these 'in a nutshell' videos.

It is crap but also good, sad to hear he went really, had hopped he would be the douche they kept in for as long as they possibly could.
Ashley Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) I can't for the life of me seem to get media server stuff to work. I've tried opening all ports, sorting out access lists etc through the router. Enabled it within the PS3 itself and have set folders to share on my mac but it's still not coming up on my XMB. Any ideas? Googling isn't helping. Likewise with USB, its not coming up on the XMB. Edited February 25, 2012 by Ashley
Ashley Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 Nope. And as it turns out the USB is working, guess I just needed to reboot the PS3.
flameboy Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 So I have a couple of peeves with Sony to post about. 1. I went and plugged in my Blaze arcade stick to play some Mortal Kombat which I hadn't started. Imagine my disappointment when I found that it wouldn't work on the XMB or anything lights just flashing away. Quick google revealed that around Patch 3.50 Sony removed support for some USB devices, then I remembered I was vaguely aware as at the time I was writing for ablegamers and remember some members of the disabled gaming community being up in arms about it. So annoying effectively have a useless arcade stick now although admittedly haven't used it since Super Streetfighter IV came out. 2. Why the fuck do they only let you have 1 system activated for video content?! I went to download the free episode of South Park they are offering (not properly watched an episode for years and wanted to see it) and was told I couldn't and I needed to deactivate other machine....it fucking yellow lighted...so now I guess I have to phone up or email such a pain in the arse.
Ike Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 I was wondering, if I bought a video from the PSN can I only watch it via the PSP/PS3/Media Go or will I be able to transfer it to other devices?
Tales Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Downloaded the Jak and Daxter trilogy off PSN. Had great fun with them when I borrowed 2 and 3 from a friend many years ago. 9th, 10th and 11th platinum here I come
Hero-of-Time Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 Downloaded the Jak and Daxter trilogy off PSN. Had great fun with them when I borrowed 2 and 3 from a friend many years ago. 9th, 10th and 11th platinum here I come I picked it up last week and played the hell out of Jak 1. I loved that game to bits back in the day and it has held up nicely. I was never keen on Jak Theft Auto 2 and 3. The game had changed too much and I didn't care much for the open world setting, hence me not playing either one of them yet. Daxter on the PSP was better than Jak 2 and 3, IMO.
dwarf Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 Journey releases March 9th (in the US at least) Eurogamer gave it a 9/10. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-03-01-journey-review Not that I'm going to read any reviews. Looking forward to it. It's probably going to cost £9.99 or something stupid though considering it's $14.99 US.

Looking forward to it. It's probably going to cost £9.99 or something stupid though considering it's $14.99 US. I read their review once you've played the game I cannot recommend reading the review higher, without sounding dumb it's defintely one of the best reviews I've ever read. One thing worth nothing is restraints or whatever on reviews mean for the most part there aren't meant to be spoilers beyond whats been shown in public and in the beta. I cannot wait to play it, the Journey Beta was the last game I played before my old PS3 kicked the bucket.
dwarf Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 When did £9.99 become a stupid price point? When I went to uni?
The Bard Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Does anyone know if Chrono Cross is available on the PSN in the UK? Would love to have a copy of that when PSone support is inevitably announced for Vita.
Hero-of-Time Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Does anyone know if Chrono Cross is available on the PSN in the UK?

Can you create a US account, buy a cash card from say VGP and then download titles like Chrono Cross and Parasite Eve? Ive been wanting to play both these for an age.
Sheikah Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Unfortunately not. Can you create a US account, buy a cash card from say VGP and then download titles like Chrono Cross and Parasite Eve? Ive been wanting to play both these for an age. Just last week I bought a ten dollar PSN card off eBay and bought Chrono Cross off the uS store. It's priced at exactly $9.99 which is handy. Exciting to the Vita guys you will need to do some kind of reset to log in on a different PSN account although you don't lose any saves/data. Sony were always reluctant to bring out CC in Europe, they pretty much haven't translated it a far as I know into European languages so I'm not sure if they'd bother releasing it here.
The Bard Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 That's a shame, I really want to play it. No idea how to/ motivation to set up a US PSN account.
Sheikah Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Fuck that, this is Chrono Cross we're talking about so it deserves your full attention. Simply create a new user on your PS3 (left most on XMB), then go to network and tell it you want to create a new account and that you're from USA. Easy as pie.
The Bard Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 To be fair, it's the sequel to my favourite game, and I've played it before on the PSone. Just not for a very very long time. Hell, I can still play Radical Dreamers on guitar after all these years. Also; I don't have a PS3, just a Vita I'm afraid. I would absolutely love a portable version of that game. Just pop it out anywhere and lose myself in nostalgia.
Sheikah Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 I'm sure PS1 on Vita will happen soon. Also sure you can register a US PSN account pretty easily too via playstation.com.
