No. External drives are only for media, backups, and moving save files.

Does the PS3 read mkv?

top of the page recommendation: get PS+ x)

 

[LittleToaster]

is Unfinished Swan worthwhile?

Unless you hate exploration games and/or super-cheap, I say it's well worth it at $3.75

Does the PS3 read mkv?

Natively, no. The only way to play them is streaming through a media server.

 

[lucius]

I get this on my PS3, but only occasionally. It happens both in the PS3 store app and in the system download list under Account Management -> Transaction Management. I think I have around 1400 items in the download list.

My download content is finally showing up now, so maybe was just a server issue, but that never happened to me before. Once in a while it won't all load up right, but I never had No Content message show up before this past weekend. At least the issue seems to have fixed itself for me at least.

Just giving a second opinion to back that one up. It's a neat game that focuses on exploration. Since I absolutely love exploration it's right up my alley. I paid full price for it and don't feel like I paid too much. With it on sale I'd say absolutely grab it.

 

[Bboy AJ]

I love how the past few months have been awesome. I'm playing Demons Souls and Sleeping Dogs. Never played either. And then Deus Ex.

Man, for someone like me that rarely does day one purchases, amazing.

There is going to be a Little Big Planet sale from June 18th to July 2nd with at least 50% off some items.

Also, there is going to be a Free Summer Creator Pack.

They're part of the yearly cycle.

I've been using this converter for mkv-files. It's pretty good =)

So when are they posting the content for the EU July IGC update?

 

[GeoramA]

Some discounts on SR3 DLC would be nice.

Oh yeah! I went through all the trouble to get a free US month on Home at the SCEA E3 expo. I hope this game is as crazy as people claim it is.

 

[NeoRausch]

soooo...

I'm playing one of the worst Uncharted games right now?
because I enjoy it. 1 and 2 are better?

 

[Tizoc]

So my older sister bought a PS3 for her kids, gonna share our EU account with them and try to get some games installed in their PS3.

soooo...

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeell I don't think it's THAT bad. Granted it could've been better but IMO 2 is the best with 1 and 3 being tied in 2nd place for me.

 

[bobbytkc]

soooo...

I think it is very VERY unlikely that you will like 1 better. It was a 8.0 game at best when I played it when it first came out. They only really nailed the formula for uncharted 2 and 3.

 

[ricardo_sousa11]

Any news on the EU july content ?!

 

[Kinyou]

soooo...

Opinions on the first one are a little mixed but I think most agree that the second one is the best.

 

[Donos]

soooo...

I'm only on chapter 8 or 9 of UC3 but UC2 is still way better for me. Perfect pacing and everything. UC1 has it good things but i think it's the weakest (running around followed by a "shooting arena" feels very disconnected). And i don't mind the "twist" in UC1 at all. I even thought it was nice.

 

[NeoRausch]

Thanks guys! gonna look into 2 then.

 

[Rodney McKay]

Some discounts on SR3 DLC would be nice.

None of the DLC was really worth paying for IMO.
I played them all on the PC version and none of the content DLC held up to anything in the campaign.


Is God's Eater any good? I only vaguely remember the name for that one.

 

[VGChampion]

Thanks guys! gonna look into 2 then.

U2 also is the most replayable in my opinion. There's some parts in 3 that I just don't look forward to replaying.

 

[RS4-]

Finally decided to download UC3 since I never bothered to really get into the SP.

How long should I be sitting here on the "preparing...please wait" screen?

The initial loading can take a while.

Man. I have to delete some stuff to get Uncharted 3 :lol

Any news on SR3? Was hoping it was last week


Edit : Nevermind its answered on this page

Well, that's a surprise. Two portable titles in one month. Is Sony learning from people bitching about one a month?

 

[Batigol]

PS+ is seriously one of the best things I've purchased. Started with 3 months, then just went for the year. It's opened my eyes to games I'd never usually play, like Demon's Souls

 

[Setre]

Got a question that I think I missed during Sony's E3 conference. If I sign up for a year of PS+ now will it carry over to the PS4?

Yes, it was one of the first things Jack Tretton (?) said.

 

[JJDinomite]

HYPOTHETICAL QUESTION TIME:

I got just PS+, and loving every second of it. Wish I had done it years ago.

However, I was wondering... Say I don't re-subscribe and I'm off of PS+ for a month or something. Can I go back and play the free games that I downloaded before, if I subscribe again? Or are they lost forever?

yes you can

 

[Permanently A]

Where can I check the specific expiration dates on games? Specifically Demons' Souls, Vanquish and the SotC/ICO collection.

 

[JeTmAn81]

So, still no clue on whether or not PS+ versions of games will work with saves that originate from a disc-based copy, right? I'd really like to sell off my barely-played copy of Saints Row, though I plan on playing through the PS+ version at some point in the future.

It varies depending on the game. Some work, some don't.

Individually? In the details of each game. They have an expiration date if you hit Triangle, then Info I think.

 

[RS4-]

Great, start downloading the 12GB file for UC3, I want to turn off the controller. Few mins later it kicks me back to the UC3 page, tells me I have to quit the store.

Can't resume download, can't tell which files I can use to resume via the download history as there are three or four different files that are 10GB+

 

[Permanently A]

Can I check the dates if I'm not on PS+ yet? Thanks.

 

[fenners]

Ahhh you mean when are they going to be removed from the PS+ offer.

 

[AndyD]

Ahh, indeed. No, I don't think there are any long term listings on when things go away. Except each week when they announce what is coming that week, they also announce what will be leaving that week. So at that point you have 1-2 days to buy in before something goes away.

 

[Killthee]

EU PS+ or NA PS+?

Alright, thanks guys! I think I'll get it right before Vanquish expires (nothing else is expiring before that right?)

You're doing PS+ wrong.

 

[crazygambit]

Is God's Eater any good? I only vaguely remember the name for that one.

I bought it close to the vita launch when I had nothing to play and easily put over 100 hours on it. Then again I put over 600 on the first MonHun on PSP and I just did the same for Soul Sacrifice. It's a nice MonHun clone, much faster, less depth and it's also much easier. If you have any interest in the genre check it out.

 

[Certinty]

I hope you're joking.

 

[Gaaraz]

Yeah, PS Plus is one of the very few times in gaming us Europeans have a better deal!
