Aimless Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 Download speeds have taken a dive at the moment for a lot of people. Presumably it's tied in to the other day's extended maintenance, and possibly the SEN rebranding; perhaps they're consolidating servers or the like?
Ashley Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 Well I purchased a 160GB one from Morrisons for £144 and also picked up LBP from CEX for £6. Will pick up more games at some point in the near future. Will probably open it on Wednesday! (as I'm out tonight and back in the Midlands as of tomorrow)

Apparently that maintenance was connected to introducing new/further security methods....not that those methods couldn't have slowed things down. Most annoying thing is updates....took forever to download Starhawk Beta updates the other day...guess plus auto updates help somewhat but not with first time plays.

Wesley Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 Can you buy PSN online? I want FINAKY FNAD?TASY!
Ashley Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 So guys, buy Joe Danger now or wait for the sequel that is due in "early 2012" apparently?
flameboy Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 So guys, buy Joe Danger now or wait for the sequel that is due in "early 2012" apparently? I thought the sequel was only on 360?! Or is that an option?it's a great game though you won't be disappointed with the original.
Ashley Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 I thought the sequel was only on 360?! I don't know...I just assumed it was on both.
Daft Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 No. No. No. You buy Super Stardust HD first. Then you buy flower. Also, I'll root through my games and lend you the ones worth spending time on.
Ashley Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Time is certainly the operative word as its something I have little of. I've played Flower. I need Joe Danger in my life. I want to work at Hello Games, as soon as I make them move to London.
Aimless Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 I thought the sequel was only on 360?! Or is that an option?it's a great game though you won't be disappointed with the original. Technically platforms haven't been announced for Joe Danger: The Movie, but I'll be very surprised if doesn't come to PS3, 360 and PC. Joe Danger: Special Edition recently released on XBLA but it isn't a sequel. It's essentially the same as the PSN original, just with a few new additions and some edges rounded.
Jamba Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Hello chaps, need some help for work and I don't have a PS3 to tinker with myself. Our clients pay for internet access through a PayPal portal page, similar to the automatic page you get if you try to log onto BT Openzone. That payment is linked specifically to that device by MAC address. Now the PS3 browser does not seem to play with the PayPal webpage, kicking back an error message about not filling in all of the necessary information. This is complete rubbish as it only happens on PS3s and the information is being filled in properly. Can anyone think of particular security precautions that might be in place on the PS3? Does it not publish it's own MAC address? Is the browser a heap of garbage?
Shorty Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 The PS3 certainly publishes its MAC, I use it for the DMZ on my router. And the browser is certainly a heap of garbage.
Daft Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 The browser, so bad. They better improve the Vita one over time. And by improve, I mean replace with Chrome.
Deathjam Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Oh thought it was just me, tried using the browser in front of ppl, came away ashamed.
Wesley Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Just nabbed Final Fantasy 8 and 9. Never played either so I'm quite excited. I'll get round to playing them after I finish uni. And complete all 199 Steam games I have. And after I finish that pile of books... And... Fuck, why did I buy them?

Yah as much people bemoaned Microsoft for not having a browser on the 360 the PS3 may as well not have one either its really that bad....
Cube Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Speaking of browsers... ...when are Sony going to make the PlayStation store usable from a browser?
Jamba Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Yah as much people bemoaned Microsoft for not having a browser on the 360 the PS3 may as well not have one either its really that bad.... True, the browser might be crap but it at least has a hard wired MAC address for both ethernet and wireless. The 360 has the inbuilt ability to spoof a MAC address, in fact it was suggested by xbox support for our customers to do that. Nice. They couldn't just have the wireless dongle actually producing a MAC address then?
Aimless Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 The PS3's browser is based on NetFront, if that's any help. No idea if the people behind that have UK offices, or if they'd be able to help you in the first place; they might not be privy to adjustments Sony have made.
Ike Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Funnily enough, they've just released an update browser in the new firmware. Paypal might work now, apparently Youtube works.
Cube Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 - The Internet Browser has been improved. This will result in better display of content and page layouts are displayed with greater accuracy. Some websites that could not be displayed correctly prior to the release of PS3 system software 4.10, including interactive websites, are now supported. - You can automatically set the time more accurately via the Internet every time your PS3 system connects to PlayStation Network (PSN). This can be done via [settings] > [Date and Time Settings] > [set Automatically] on the XMB (XrossMediaBar). - PSN Account will be renamed Sony Entertainment Network Account. This will not result in any changes to how you log in or the details you use to do so.
Ashley Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Signed up to PSN/SEN last night. My username is ashleytwo (surprise surprise! same one I use for everything) if anyone wants to add me.
