Happenstance Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 Thank God! The second laser I ordered for my PS3 worked perfectly so I can actually play games again and not have to buy myself a whole new one.
nightwolf Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 Noob question. Do the games that come 'free' with PlayStation plus change every month? If so, when is the next date?
Happenstance Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 Yep they do but if you have download them once, or even just started then cancelled the download then you can access them anytime for free as long as you are still a PS+ member. Speaking of the new games, they were announced today: Leaving PS Plus in July/August: 31st July: Battlefield 3 31st July: Catherine 31st July: Malicious 31st July: Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus 31st July: Unit 13 Entering PS Plus in July/August: 31st July: Need for Speed: Most Wanted 31st July: Mafia 2 31st July: Spec Ops: The Line 31st July: Lego Lord of the Rings 31st July: When Vikings Attack!
bryanee Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 (edited) If using wireless then yes. Wired connection should improve things. The wireless connection bloody sucked on my phat, much better on the second version of the PS3 (slim). DL speeds are easily on par with the 360 right now. edit - I've been meaning to buy NFS for ages but I haven't been able to so its very nice to see I'll have it for bugger all at the end of the month.

flameboy Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 That is absolutely insane....but wait guys 360 owners got Assassins Creed 2!
Cube Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 Extremely disappointing. I was really looking forward to DmC and Little King's Story. Instead we get very disappointing racer, a dreadful sandbox game, a supposedly terrible port of a LEGO game, some other Vita thing and Spec Ops. Spec Ops is brilliant, but I already have it.
Daft Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 Isn't DmC and LKS meant to be next month? I was super annoyed that Battlefield 3 wasn't on that list...and then I realised it was on Plus this month and have now picked it up off the web store and sent it to download on my PS3. Today is a good day.
Magnus Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 I was really only interested in Spec Ops, so I'm happy. The Vita version of Little King's Story looks so soulless compared to the charming Wii version, so they can keep it, as far as I'm concerned.
Tales Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 (edited) For quite a long time my ps3 has made this sometimes loud sound, not sure how to describe it, like a "rrrrrrrrrrrr" sound if you know what I mean. I think it happens more often if I play a disc based game. Just thought I'd finally ask if it means anything. Also suddenly today the left analog stick decided to stop working. It seems to only reach if I move it in the direction of around 4-5 clockish. Internet tells me to buy new one but that costs a fortune. Right analog seems to have died too. They worked perfectly yesterday. L3 still works. Edited July 17, 2013 by Tales
Cube Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 Sony will be shutting down the online servers for MAG, SOCOM: Confrontation, and SOCOM 4 on January 28, 2014.

I think it happens more often if I play a disc based game. Just thought I'd finally ask if it means anything. If it's a fan going into overdrive that noise will become constant soon enough, and then the system might last a couple of weeks before yellow lighting on you. If you're lucky. The truth hurts.
Tales Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 If it's a fan? I think the sound has been there for more than a year. .

A very disappointing racer? One of the best racers this gen in my humble opinion.
Cube Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 I'm a massive Criterion fan. The singleplayer was decent, but the online was seriously limited (compared to Burnout Paradise. Having to do events in groups was silly, there were no custom race options (choosing your route), there were very few challenges (and these had to be done as part of an event group). They could have done a lot more - I was expecting them to improve on Paradise's online formula, not to a half-arsed job of it. The main problem was that I got hyped up for "Burnout Paradise 2".
Tales Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 So I am thinking of transferring the saves onto my 32 GB sd card in case it suddenly dies of heart failure. I don't think it will though, it's been making noise since before AC3 and it's placed in an adequately cooled area, it's actually resting on a shaped plattern so it has air on all sides, but just in case I thought I'd backup the data. So, the sd card, do you know if they come in default FAT32? It is the same card I use for my 3DS, I think there's some music files in it too, I hope that isn't a problem. Thought I ask before I try so I don't screw anything up.

Choze Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Sony will be shutting down the online servers for MAG, SOCOM: Confrontation, and SOCOM 4 on January 28, 2014. RIP MAG. So many good memories. Feel sad because of this news. You lucky people - I love this game snap it up and I'll play you online. Autolog should become interesting with more fresh blood on it! Do we need dlc to beat your scores?
flameboy Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 RIP MAG. So many good memories. Feel sad because of this news. Do we need dlc to beat your scores? Nah tons of scores to be beaten without DLC.
Cookyman Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Do we need dlc to beat your scores? Nah, you just need to be good. The DLC is rather awesome though!
Shorty Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 That PS+ line up is seriously disappointing. quality's already declining :P
bryanee Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 That PS+ line up is seriously disappointing. quality's already declining :P I think you mean that PS+ line up is pretty damn good.
Shorty Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Meh. I will enjoy NFS, but I could tell from the demo it was no Burnout Paradise. Mafia 2 is great but I played that when it came out. I still can't wrap my head around the idea that people think Spec Ops is any more than an immensely generic shooter dressed up in a contrived storyline that somehow people are convinced is great. Lego LotR for Vita has a score of 54 on metacritic compared to the 80+ on every other platform and When Vikings Attack has similar feedback. It's made far more disappointing though when compared to the rumoured titles, DmC and LKS (which I've never played, but heard great things about). In fact I might just pick up the latter and dust off the Wii...
