BeerMonkey Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 cheers dudey will keep me eye on those sites
dwarf Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 I'm getting slightly irritated with the PS3 because half the demos and videos I download, when I try to instll them an installation error occurs, or with the videos it says 'corrupted data'. Frustrating as hell! Edit: just looked around and sometimes it can happen if you perform in background apparently. Will try normal download now.

dwarf Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Well my PS3 was second hand so I don't know if it was faulty before. But I downloaded the Grid demo which didnt install which was longer than a month ago, but peforming in background and trying again worked. (see my above edit on fix)
Daft Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Maybe call Sony...as I seem to keep telling everyone today. I wonder what is wrong.
dwarf Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Seems there are a few other people after googling that have had similar problems... How do I call Sony? Is it free and what can they do?

This was happening to me when I first got my PS3. After a while it stopped. Saying that, BE (my IP) have been on and off for me so I think if the connection drops during download, perhaps that could be a contributing factor. Damn computays!
LegoMan1031 Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 I hope yours is not faulty as well dwarf! They seem to be dropping like flies at the mo for members on this forum!!!
dwarf Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 But the games/dvds work fine. Having said that, very recently, as in the last couple of days, there is about a 7 second pause that usually comes after the PS3 tingle chimes when you load a game. I'm not sure if it happens all the time because I haven't booted up a lot of games often enough, but it is slightly worrying. Oh and I redownladed the Ratchet demo fine when I downloaded it normally (not in background). I might have to buy ToD seeing as it was just as fun as the first Ratchet I played on PS2. I never bought any of it's sequels but this 4th one looks great and it's almost as cheap as Quest for Booty now so may as well!
Daft Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 Just finished Quest for Booty. I love the humor in it. I can't wait until the next full Ratchet game.
LegoMan1031 Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 Just finished Quest for Booty. I love the humor in it. I can't wait until the next full Ratchet game. How was it overall? Was it as excellent as Tools of Destruction? (obviously excluding length)
Daft Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 How was it overall? Was it as excellent as Tools of Destruction? (obviously excluding length) Yeah, more of the same (which I mean as a positive ) but upgrading the weapons isn't as fun but I guess that is due to the much shorter length. I do think it is a real shame it doesn't recognise the Tools of Destruction save in any way.
LegoMan1031 Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 Yeah, more of the same (which I mean as a positive ) but upgrading the weapons isn't as fun but I guess that is due to the much shorter length.

Domstercool Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 Woo! Finished Final Fantasy 1 on the PSP ^_^ So I decided to play Tales of the Abyss, seems pretty good.
That Guy Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 Yeah, more of the same (which I mean as a positive ) but upgrading the weapons isn't as fun but I guess that is due to the much shorter length. I do think it is a real shame it doesn't recognise the Tools of Destruction save in any way. That's good to hear. I just got back into ToD. Some parts of it annoy me, and I do find it goes on a little bit, but I really like it. As I've not money right now I can't get the new one so will have to wait a few months for it. How long is it?

dwarf Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 Late comment I know but I've finally got every treasure in Uncharted, had to use to Faq for some of them, but they should make it easier by labelling the 61 of them and then showing you what chapters they can be found in. Oh well. I'm striving for that platinum trophy, pretty much the only thing i have to do now is kill a certain number of enemies with weapon a,b and c etc then complete the game on hard (crap) and then again on CRUSHING (mega crap). I can gloat afterwards though I think what I'm gonna do is not try and rush through and beat the game twice, but instead do a chapter every-so often. And I don't see how I'm gonna be able to do crushing mode at the bit where there are tons of golem spaniard freaks! wish me luck lol
Hero-of-Time Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 Crushing mode isnt that hard at all, beat it in Decemeber. Its not like CoD on veteran difficulty because Uncharted only has a set amount of enemies to throw at you, alsong as you use cover and just take it easy then you will do fine.

dwarf Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 Yeah but you have to beat Hard in order to unlock crushing. However, there is a file on the net you can download so that hard mode is done, then you can just do crushing. Anyone got that platinum trophy yet? Is it the only one for PS3 atm?
tapedeck Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 well after my ps3 problems I contacted gamestation about it and they gave me a brand-new one today! Happy days!So yeah, add me again people!
