Cookyman Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Did you use your american PSN ID or your UK one, I mean for the competion? My UK account. The game is a 298mb download - which I thought was really small. Then you have to update it - 2.6gb! The update is slow as fuck and I have a fast connection - zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

dwarf Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 ^ You're joking!? Fuck sake I was going to play it today. I guess the 300MB download was too good to be true.
MATtheHAT Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 I think it shuts down at 8pm anyway. Then re-opens at midnight till 3am. With my internet speeds it may be done for midnight.
Daft Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Been playing InFamous. It's not great. It's not bad either. It's just lacking me giving a shit. Well I didn't get in, oh well. I read that they're sending them out in waves so you might still get in. Wish I'd was here when the Beta sign up was going. I'm quite interested in MAG.

I didn't really take the 'story' in and the deaddrops can suck my balls. It kind of improves, but the demo shouldn't have dolled out so many powers. Still, I managed to sell it on for a £5 profit, now that's better than renting!
Emasher Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 How exactly do you go about signing up for the betas? Or does it work differently in North America and Europe?
dwarf Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Well IGN works in conjunction with Fielplanet.com I believe, IGN usually informs everyone when there will be a beta key give away on it, so if you sign up to fileplanet you have a chance on getting some betas. Then there's the official playstation website invites where you ust have to give your ID details. Past that there are people here that manage to worm their way into betas through means that are too complicated for me to comprehend (As in, I don't know how). Occasionally you get betas with a pre-order too.
dwarf Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Hi Flamey, some help pray? Basically atm I've just formatted my PS3 HDD to Fat-32, it's in the external case and I'm now backing up the data onto it. So I started looking around for the steps I need to take after this and got a bit confused. I thought that once this thing was backed up, because this external drive is the drive I'm putting in the PS3 (obviously without the case so it isn't external) I wouldn't need to worry about anything else in terms of backing stuff up. Then I read this: http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id=ps3&thread.id=4051380 and that guys advice has just confused me...

dwarf Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 DO not complicate things. Just backup. Install new harddrive and then run restore. So it's all backed up on the external thing, now I take the HDD out of the enclosure, install it into the PS3 and then when I turn it on it will give me the option to restore onto the system and I will then have everything set out like normal, but with more space? Wah!? I swear I only needed this enclosure and the new HDD...
Emasher Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Another quick question. Is the Warhawk DLC worth buying ($15 for all 3)?
LegoMan1031 Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 I got in the beta! Will try and start the download process now (been in work). Although i dont remember signing up for anything... unless i did and forgot.
flameboy Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 I got in the beta! Will try and start the download process now (been in work). Although i dont remember signing up for anything... unless i did and forgot. WHAT?! I defo signed up and didnt get in GRRR
LegoMan1031 Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 WHAT?! I defo signed up and didnt get in GRRR Well im assuming i did otherwise i wouldn't of got in? I really can't remember it though!?
flameboy Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 Sony's best confirmed for EG Expo Blog Sony's best confirmed for EG Expo Blog 22nd 2009 Sony's biggest PlayStation 3 exclusives are coming to the Eurogamer Expo this October. You're worth it. We know no game show is complete without a big platform-holder performance which, in Sony's case, involves a floor packed with living room-like pods sporting huge Bravia televisions - not to mention the games, which amount to a great line-up. Why? Well, what about a chance to try out MAG, the enormous, 256-player online shooter? Set for spring 2010, the only way to try this at the moment is via an elusive online beta with limited spaces and play times. There's none of that at the EG Expo, although you may be savaged by a pack of hungry gamers for spending all day at the controls. Still not convinced? Then consider actually playing God of War 3, which only a few people in the world have done to date. This huge PS3 exclusive doesn't even arrive until next March. Series creator David Jaffe was "blown away" by Kratos' next-gen debut, and now it's your turn to be. No? Try Heavy Rain for size, we've certainly banged on about it enough. That's because Quantic Dream's creation is important not only for PS3, but for videogames in general, as the public and critics struggle to take the medium seriously as a sophisticated storytelling device. Yet maybe the most striking and fun of Sony's PS3 goodies will be Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time. There's no blood, no controversial content, no agenda, no chest-puffing - but since when was all that necessary? Tools of Destruction looked brilliant and packed fun and frantic gameplay. Insomniac's sticking to a well-trodden and winning formula with the sequel, and is a practiced hand and delivering outstanding PS3 experiences. Do not underestimate. Last but by no means least is Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. Naughty Dog's mouth-watering sequel oozes blockbuster charm, and is expected to land big honours in the coming months. The Eurogamer Expo 2009 heads to Leeds and London this year, starting up north on 27th and 28th October, before heading to the capital on 30th and 31st October. Tickets are a paltry £6 a day and selling fast. Buy yours now from the EG Expo site, which has lots more information to absorb. Pretty cool that GoW3, MAG and Heavy Rain....I'll be straight to the GoW3 and Heavy Rain queues... Any of the PS3 N-E crew going to the Leeds expo?

Any of the PS3 N-E crew going to the Leeds expo? Screw leeds, i'll be going to the London one if I can help it. OH and apparently, there is a huge leakage on Sony's plans for the upcoming months here. Edited September 22, 2009 by Deathjam
MATtheHAT Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 Just bought Tickets for the Expo in Leeds! And got the piss taken out of me by my wife! I am now officially a 'Geek' *shrug* I was going to take my Daughter, but she is only five and you have to be at least 15 to attend. Understandable really because nobody wants kids running around.
