I bought Bioshock 2 (and still have the disc!) but didn't really enjoy it until I got it on PS+.
Weird, eh?

Just went through all that and at least I'm seeing numbers move. Still only one MB every fifteen seconds or so.
My connection test on the PS3 itself is telling me my speed should be 4 Mbps though...

Hey, it should work for you now. I was finally able to install it on the vita.
Please be excited for the 1.8gb patch.

That slow download is really specific to BF3. Happened to me before. All other downloads completed without problems.

Did I miss the jak and daxter trilogy for vita? When I log in to the sen website i can't find it. Or is that not in NA?
EU only
I actually have a brand new problem now!
I downloaded Machinarium and installed it and all was well. Then I wanted to download the demo of Pinball Heroes, but I didn't have any space, so I deleted Machinarium and downloaded the demo (which was much, much smaller than Machinarium) and it failed to install because there was only like 5mb of free space.
Has anyone had space just magically disappear from their memory card?
EDIT: Also, Star Wars Pinball still won't install. xP

I'm downloading Tokyo Jungle now and it started with 1mps. Once it hit 25% though it's now back to one megabyte every fifteen seconds. Why would my speed change like that?
I don't have anywhere to connect it. Wi-Fi is downstairs, and I don't have any ethernet outlets to plug it in up here.
Is it like game installs on the PS3 where a game's install/patch data sits around after the game is uninstalled? (Or, maybe that's just disc games...regardless, you see what I mean.)
What is your NAT type?

Type 2, I believe.
Pause and resume works wonders for me. It connects to a different Sony server.

Anyone? ):
If everything were right with the world, it would work either way, but I'm not sure. I wouldn't bet on it.
Best thing to do is always to buy it on the store, in my experience. Buying a card at retail has almost never been the better deal, but that's just me.
Instead of guessing it's easier to just look up the blog post from when it was announced and see the answer.

Kijiji? Link please? I want this deal.
You and your crazy "rational" approach to answering questions. What is wrong with you? Sheesh.Instead of guessing it's easier to just look up the blog post from when it was announced and see the answer.

As good as you would expect if you've ever played a light gun shooter on consoles (virtual cop, house of the dead.)
Link please? Is it an online store or what?

Gah! I thought the extra three months was also for US, is it for EU only? I just subscribed for another year. Heh.
Go to your bought items (you even "buy" the free stuff, remember?) then to Media and there are the games you got over PS+ with an expiration date which is your PS+ expiration date. Under Media, even PS+ itself is listed with the expiration date.
Thanks to this i just saw that my PS+ ended today. Damn. Thought it would end in November -_-.
Lol without PS+ my huuuuge list of games shrinks back to Wipeout HD/Fury, Journey and Pixel Junk Eden oO. If that's not a good incentiv to resub... damn Sony, but with vacation around i have no money.
Don't know where else to ask this but is there any way to find out more details about what's on the hard drive? I have a 160gb ps3, 149 to use and for the longest time I had about 14gb unaccounted for if I deleted every game I have downloaded. Now I calculated it again and I'd only have about 100-102/149.
Where's all my space going? Any game data I have installed is less than 50mb each and I don't really keep anything else on the ps3. No movies, pictures or anything like that. Don't have Home installed either. I honestly can't figure out what could be taking up 40+gb.

There's a separate area on the XMB where you can find old patches. Some of these can be huge and add up. Perhaps that's where your space is lost?
Nothing is wrong with your hard drive. Hard drive manufacturers like to say 1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes (10^9.) but really 1 GB is 1024KB, or 1,073,741,824 bytes.
Basically to get your real hard drive size for any drive, you would take the bytes, which is 160,000,000,000 and divide it by 1024^3. That gives you 149GB in reality.
If you're still missing 40-50GB of space after deleting everything, chances are you didn't actually delete everything. Have you tried maybe doing a format to make sure?
I did a system restore and checked and it's only at 130gb/149. No idea what's taking that space up. I haven't even installed firmware or even set the internet connection up yet.
That's correct. The PS3 OS always saves 10-12% of the maximum hard drive space.
Hmm ok, thanks. I wish I could figure out what was taking up that 24gb before I restored. I deleted every game I had on there and I was only at 106gb. Oh well.

So I'm having a huge problem with PS+.
I've been a subscriber since June '12, I have renewed my sub every time it's run out and am now subscribed until July 2014.
Two weeks ago I went to boot up Mortal Kombat on my Vita, a game I got for 'free' from PS+, and it told me that it had expired.
I thought that was very odd, panicked a little and tried another game which had also expired.
I checked that my sub hadn't ran out, and it hadn't, subbed through to 2014.
Booted my PS3, checked a few games: all expired.
Was told that if I went into my Download History and redownloaded them all (even just for a second before cancelling the download) it would renew all the licenses.
So I went into download history, and to my horror every game that I downloaded from Plus between June '12 and May '13 had completely disappeared from my history.
Checked on the online store: same thing.
They're not in my purchase history either.
I called Sony and explained the situation and they said they'd investigate and get back to me in a week. A week later and no word from them, so I called again and was told my investigation had been taken up to higher management and they'll contact me within a couple of days.
Meanwhile I have no access to 61 of the games I downloaded from Plus.
Has this ever happened to anyone else? I can't fathom what can have happened and am extremely worried that I have lost access to those 61 games despite my sub never expiring (even if it had, as long as I renewed within 6 months I should still have access to those games).

As long as the games are still in your download list I wouldn't worry too much.
Do you have your account on any other PS3s?
If so do the games not work on them either?
It sounds like it is an issue on Sony's end.
