I'm honestly amazed at the amount of people with + next to their name on the blog. Before it was pretty empty, no one ever had it....

 

[Evolved1]

close your ps3 system entirely. This fixed it for me.

thanks, will do

 

[Brazil]

$10 savings. Which is arguable since you're buying a season pass.

Technically its a $10 discount. Not bad I guess?

Oh, it includes the Season Pass.

Please ignore my gaffe.

 

[Speevy]

They put the Ratchet and Clank ripoff on the Playstation Store...

 

[jvm]

*Nods*.

Aaaaand, I'm just going to keep the PS Store Thread community car for another week. Suckahs!

The hell are you guys talking about?

Unfulfilled promises. Turning lemons into lemonade. Also, pictures we can see that you can't.

They put the Ratchet and Clank ripoff on the Playstation Store...

What is this?

Meanwhile, looks like my wallet gets a week off this week. Definitely not buying any of what I'm seeing.

 

[Brazil]

Just Alex Kidd for me, unless I come across some really positive Spelunker impressions.

 

[kassatsu]

Neon Alley seems to be broken. Looping the same thing over and over again!

One small step for man, one giant leap for Grace Chen, screenshots on the US Vita store:

Why surprised? It's a great service.

 

[Hot Coldman]

SA2 is 3 GB and Nights is 2 GB

SA2 has a LOT of music. Probably.

 

[chickdigger802]

New little king story is 40?

Haha no.

Maybe later.

 

[OSHAN]

Any Tekken characters up?

 

[Takao]

 

[Evolved1]

Thank you store people for a reasonably timed update... 3pm here on the east coast, that's what noon out west?

Either way not bad.

Try and get these midnight releases sorted out though. Day 1 AAA games should have midnight releases. Screw retailers.

 

[KalBalboa]

If 1% of players buy it...


Anywho, this is a monster update. Tons of PSone games for Vita, some Plus games, it's at a good time of day, and the PS Mobile launch is here. Goodbye wallet.

 

[tiggerkiddo]

Any Tekken characters up?

Next week.

 

[Cbajd5]

Neon Alley seems to be broken. Looping the same thing over and over again!

We've got commercials now!

Hopefully some One Piece in a minute...?

Edit: Nope, just a looong Naruto ad.

Double Edit: Seems like the loop has started again...

 

[AranhaHunter]

Why surprised? It's a great service.

Surprised at the amount of people that have signed up. It's not a bad surprise, so relax.

Also, I didn't know where else to post this and I don't think it really warrants a new thread, so I'll post it here

The advantages for developers, Ahmad argued, is that PlayStation Network - which provides the foundation to the service - has over 100 million registered users and has generated over $2 billion in revenue.

$2 billion in revenue from PSN, I think that's kinda low considering PSN has been around since 2006.

 

[Speevy]

Definitely low. They generated $180 million in the first 18 months, or something. I'd have to go find my data.

Here's an article:
http://andriasang.com/com4to/psn_accounts_top_twenty_million/

So $180 million after 30 months with 20 million accounts. They're at 4-5x that many accounts now (although accounts don't mean paying accounts on PS hardware, unfortunately) and the system is nearing six years old.

Edit:

Yuck. Just yuck. Thanks, speevy.

 

[OSHAN]

Next week.

Noooo!

Oh well. Thank you.

 

[waypoetic]

All those PS1 games.. All those PS2 games.. Still no THPS games. I want THPS3 on my HDD!

EDIT: on the EU PSN that is.

 

[graywolf323]

New little king story is 40?

Haha no.

Maybe later.

no discount for digital is greatly disappointing

 

[erpg]

The free Dead or Alive 5 DLC is glorious. Hope there will be a few more like it.

Indeed. Disappointing numbers if they are accurate. For comparison purposes, XBL generated more than $1 billion in revenue in 2009 alone IIRC.

Tony Hawk Pro Skaters? Wouldn't the music be a nightmare to relicense?

 

[Toki767]

1 week down out of 5 Tuesdays in October and I've only spent $11.99 on Tokyo Jungle. That $100 mark isn't looking very likely.

 

[waypoetic]

Tony Hawk Pro Skaters? Wouldn't the music be a nightmare to relicense?

Do they have do that for a PS1/PS2 game on the PSN/XBL? Gha.. :/
I guess i'll have to buy a PS2 and THPS3 all over again.

 

[Carl]

Uh yeah. You'd struggle to sell something you don't have the licenses for

 

[Tizoc]

Sigh can't use Bestbuy.com nor PCGameSupply to get US PSN cards, what's a site that sends the code to your e-mail but doesn't charge a lot for the card itself?
Cuz seriously 60 dollars for a $50 is ridiculous imo =_=

They have to. That's why there are no games like Wipeout 2097 on psn.

 

[waypoetic]

Good thing PS2's are dirt cheap.

Did you try Gamestop?

 

[Tizoc]

Did you try Gamestop?

I don't live in the US mate =/

 

[ShadiWulf]

SA2 has a LOT of music. Probably.

plus iizuka's face in those HD interviews. those take up room too probably

 

[darkside31337]

I don't live in the US mate =/

Oh sorry. I couldn't tell.

 

[Tizoc]

Oh sorry. I couldn't tell.

It's cool mate, thing is that over here in mi country, they charge A LOT for US PSN Codes >_<.

Spoiler

I'll try to haggle a shop to give me 2 $50 cards for $115 =_=

 

[Wario64]

So is PSM out today?

 

[Toki767]

So is PSM out today?

Tomorrow.

 

[Rebel Leader]

Gonna roll around at the speed of sound

 

[blitzcloud]

Did you try Gamestop?

NEVER, EVER, BUY FROM THERE.

A friend of mine made me the favor of buying $120 in cards (50,50,20). Well, let's say that I have $100 and he cant bother anymore because he has $300 on hold as they cancel the order for no reason.

Best bet is a friend that lives there and you trust.

It's true that if you buy Sonic Adventure 2 you get a Free Sonic Adventure 2 Theme?

Additionally, anyone who buys a copy of either game on the PlayStation Network will receive a free, exclusive NiGHTS or Sonic Adventure 2 theme for their PlayStation 3.
