I'm new to PS+ and have a quick question.

I saw Bioshock: Infinite has a 60 minute demo. From my understanding the Trophies don't unlock until I purchase the full game. If I play the demo and end up not buying the full game from PSN, but later on I purchase the retail disk, will the Trophies unlock?

I have a few trophies from some 1 hour demos. There won't be a problem, that would be big news if it was that glitched.
 
Damned automatic psn+ renewal...is there any way I can get my money back? Sony charged me for another 90 days subscription and I'm moving overseas next month whitout my ps3...
 
Rule one of any online subscription based system of any product or service - immediately turn off auto-renew after signing up.

There is probably no way you'll get a refund.
 
Yeah, you should feel lucky that you can actually cancel the recurring sub from your PS3 and don't have to call some 800-number like XBL members in many states.

You can always try calling anyway. Maybe you'll get lucky and they'll cancel it for you.
 
So I just installed a 1TB hard drive. But can someone explain this to me? I understand I don't get a full 1TB to use, but is the PS3 actually using 100GB for system files or something?

IIRC the PS3 OS actually uses a specific percentage of the disk space off the top, like 10% or 15% or something. This is regardless of disk size.

Best way to browse history is through the XMB.

Account Management > Transaction Management > Download List

No I meant the website online where you can buy stuff on your pc. Turns out that if you search "PSN Store" on google you will not get a link to the actual store.
 
Im the process of re-downloading all my content to the new hard drive. I've been a PS+ member since last summer so this is going to take a while. It will eb very nice to finally have all my games on my HD and not worry about space.

Ah okay.
 
I only have 160GB so I'm gonna have to do quite a bit of shifting in the future, I fear :/

It doesn't bother me too much though

Which hard drive did you buy? I picked up a 500GB PS3 a few months ago but it's filling up quickly so I'd like to buy a 1TB drive soon.

Western Digital "WD Blue Notebook". 1TB Sata drive.

http://www.bestbuy.ca//en-CA/produc...nc-nrsn-blue-wdbabc0010bnc-nrsn/10179847.aspx

$90. Not bad.

Also I ran into a weird problem when installing it. I removed my old hard drive, put the new one in, and my PS3 wouldn't boot up properly. Put the old drive in, same error. I had to download a PS3 update to a external hard drive so the PS3 could restore itself for some reason. PS3 was completely wiped. Weird. Everything is good now though.

Only launch systems have enough onboard flash to store the full firmware. Everything else has just enough flash to store the bare essentials for bootup, the rest of the firmware is stored on the HDD which is why you need to reinstall it every time you install a new HDD or format it.

Thanks for the quick response, I'll check it out.
 
I live in the UK and patiently waiting to download Okami, what time does it go up?

Also this is really awesome since I never buy digital games especially for that much and the disc copy is going to cost me around £30. Not a bad price but I wouldnt be able to bring myself to pay that much for something.

EU: Normal Update Time: Wednesday @ 1700 CET

How long has the store been updated for?

When I left this morning Demon's Souls had 360 votes, and now it's at over twice that. :P

It's only the game of the generation.

Oh... it's an Uncharted 2 skin? That's sort of boring. But heck, I guess it was about time to replay that for the ninth time!

Probably one of two things.

1) you forgot to download the online pass and you'll need to go into your download history and redownload it

2) you tried to play it with your Canadian PSN account. Online passes only work for the account that purchased/redeemed it.

should be in your download list.

didn't try and play on any other psn account

and i presumed it would be in my download list but it is nowhere to be seen, all that is there is the ps3 version and the vita version

thanks for suggestions though
 
So EU vs US :

Okami HD > Demon Souls.
Sleeping Dogs > Spec Ops
Mass Effect 3 > Lord of the Ring thingie
Dead or Alive 5 > ????????

MGS HD + Zero Escape > 2 old PSP games ...

Why do we always get the bad deals on PS+? :(

I honestly think you went a bit too far with "Okami HD > Demons' Souls." But EU PS+ definitely consistently gets newer and better games. I don't really have much of a problem with what we get compared to them, other than them getting more Vita games and the US consistently getting PSP games instead.
 
Is there any chance NA gets MGS HD for Vita later on through Plus?

I already have 1 and being able to play through the whole series on Vita at low cost would be sublime.

well US PS+ got Super Street Fighter 4:AE and KoF 13

It just pays to keep using free euro codes.

call up their customer service number and explain the situation they're pretty flexible about things but if all else fails just start crying as hard as you can, that always works.
