MOTHER OF GOD! SONY, FIX YOUR FUCKING DOWNLOAD LIST

YOU MOTHERFUCKERS ARE DRIVING ME FUCKING CRAZY!

I DL'ed the Marvel Pinball game, and Sony thought it would be cute to push every PSN+ related item all the way to the fucking top

I bought Tales of Monkey Island Bundle during the process, bought it first, it was on my list 1-5 after Pinball started and activated, now it's 170+... GOD FUCKING DAMMIT, GIVE ME FUCKING TABS or FOLDERS, or a FUCKING SEARCH BUTTON, Please

My Uncharted 3 Online Pass went from 10 all the way to 185 >_<, what the flying fuck

Yeah, my download history is fucked up as well. I was looking to redownload something the other day, and when opening my download history it would show my oldest downloads first, then if I closed it and reopened it it would show my most recent downloads. And then while scrolling through my history it would jump around between stuff from 2009, 2010, and 2011. Pain in the ass.

 

[C.Dark.DN]

Does automatic update install the patches after downloading? When I turned on my PS3 it said they were downloaded and the settings only say "Download".

Can't you just go to the store listing to download it?

FW update or patches to games?

I'm pretty sure patches apply automatically

Game patches apply, system updates do not.

Patches. Today I paid attention to the games listed and played them to make sure they installed before reading this. Which they did.

Not a big issue, but they could add the text "and installed" to the turn on greeting and "and install" under the settings.

Oh my God, I had this exact same problem. My Launch PS3 YLOD'd and I've had to spread out my downloads over several months because I have a data cap. I thought I could just do items 300-250 the first time, then 249-200 the second etc, but then I noticed the items appear in a random fucking order every time. Now I'm going to have to write them down one by one as I redownload them and play hide and seek with the ones still need to download.

I sent Sony an email and got some robot telling me I can't change the order of stuff in my download history, and if I'm talking about my game tab on the XMB I should try entering Safe mode and rebuilding the file structure or something.

When I replied "WTF? you didn't even read what I typed" the same CSR just repeated the same nonsense response about entering safe mode. I'm now awaiting a supervisors response to my complaint about the download history and their lazy ass customer service.

 

[NinjaBoiX]

So when I upload a save to the cloud, can I access it straight away on another system? Or do I have to wait for 24/48 hours? I think Xbox Live has a time restriction for cloud saves.

It was the preorder DLC for Borderlands, it's not listed in the store.

I think you only need to wait 24/48 for certain games that already had copyright protection.

Yeah, it's pretty bad.. Probably the worst part of PSN IMHO.

I have more than 1000+ downloads and sorting through them is a nightmare. If I want to re-download a game like Wipeout HD. I have to scroll through more than 800 pieces of content to get to it. Not very practical.

Isn't this an easy fix? Pretty lazy if you ask me.

Oh my god, I hate the PSN store. I just bought Stranger's Wrath after some pain. M-O for "Oddworld"? No. OK, P-S for "Stranger's"? No. What the fuck? Back to the main menu. Ah, there it is on the rolling banner! *clicks - waits - waits - clicks again - waits - banner moves on - waits - nothing happens* Arghh! It's fucking awful. It constantly asks you to actively persevere in your search. It's a trainwreck, and probably costs Sony a lot of money in lost revenue from people simply giving up. Who could blame them!

 

[Gintoki]

Whats worse is some games don't even have the "You own this game" icon on the store for some reason. I was sure that I downloaded UNO before, but I deleted it. I checked the store, it doesn't have the icon, gone to my download list (Which is long) then found it. They REALLY need to make it more easier to search.. it really is frustrating.

 

[NinjaBoiX]

So, the saves that benefit the most from PS+ are the ones that are the least convenient/functional? My lord, Sony have some fucking morons working within their walls. They really need to offer a substantially better service than PSN next gen, it's kinda embarrassing how amateurish it is.

Amazon doesn't sell yearly Playstation Plus cards. Best Buy does, but I don't want to shop with them. Does Target sell Playstation Plus cards? Can I just buy PSN cards and use the money in the wallet to then purchase a subscription?
Edit: also, are there ever any deals on these cards? I know the Target fluke recently with the 3 month cards, but anything like constant XBL discounts?

Yes Target does. I know because I totally exploited their $14 a year misprint on Black Friday weekend

Target sells them in store I believe. Gamestop sells them in store and emails voucher codes.

You can use PSN cards to buy anything in the PS Store, including PS+ subs.

 

[B-Ri]

yeah, tomb raider and everything else expired for me, it says the 30th was when it expired and my sub ended on the 30th, and automatically resubscribed.

Is there a solution to fix this? Is this a bug? did everyone elses expire at the same time?

oh wait, i just tried to relaunch it and it updated to my new PSN+ expiration date

 

[AndyD]

Does anyone still have a PSN 12 month sub for sale? Will paypal.

How Crysis comes down to $10.49 after being 30% off I have no idea. Isn't it a $19.99 game?

Do you really want them to up the price, let Sony be using Sony Mathematics and Calculations, a win for us

Remember snitches get stitches and if necessary thrown into ditches!

I'm gonna grab it at that price =D

 

[Evolved1]

What kind of game is BTTF? I looked at the preview on PSN but it's just some stupid CG trailer (I really hate companies that do this shit, how does that trailer help me make a purchasing decision? Show the goddamned game. Unless you have something to hide?)

Anyway... I have no idea what the game even is.

If you loved the movie trilogy, and want more, this is good side content (can even be turned into another movie trilogy based off this) to go along with it =D

Also can double dip, play the 5 episodes, get 59 trophies, buy the retail disc version get another 60 trophies (platinum included), as you can see:

Nice! I always wanted to replay the Syphon Filter series. I can't believe I beat all 3 games back in the day when it came out and I'm totally clueless what the hell the stories were about or who the characters were cept for Gabe Logan and the Chinese chick. They should really make a sequel for the PS3 one of these days!!!!

Its probably dropping to $15 next week.

 

[Gaspode_T]

Very happy about BTTF, I've been holding out in hope that Telltale will release games on XBLA but for free..wow...

Never played a Syphon Filter game before either so that should be fun to check out. I though PS+ was dead in the water there for a while, they must have put it on pause over the holiday vacation.

 

[Cornbread78]

Oh $hit, looks liek I got more to D/L now.... I have to say that PS+ is really worth it with all the sales and free $hit...

 

[SentientStone]

Yup, really loving these free games even though I probably will not be playing most of them. It might just get me to resubscribe in a year since I want to keep these games, guess Sony knows how to keep people like me hooked into the system.

 

[foladar]

A friend gave me a free month of PS+ and I'm trying to maximize the discounts. When's the last day to get the free BTTF stuff? 1/31?

 

[MikeE21286]

Gave me a good reason to put a 500gb hard drive in my PS3....was sick of the fridge always being full.

 

[GraveRobberX]

Usually the the first Tuesday of the following month

January 31st falls on a Tuesday, and next week starts the new month which is the 7th, I don't if Sony gives February goodies on the last day in January, they always wait till the new month has started and the first Tuesday gets the content

US store went from weekly > bi-weekly > now monthly (1st Tuesday of the new month)

 

[Spocker]

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but there seems to have been a major bug in the Playstation Plus subscription system after the PSN outage last year.

It seems like everyone that bought the SEGA Rally 1 year extension offer during the time the 70 bonus days was in effect after the outage has had their subscription/purchase history reset.

All my free games "purchased" before I bought the 1-year subscription has expired, even though I never has been without an subscription.

A quick timeline:

• 29/6/2010: Bought a 1-year subscription for Playstation Plus. Ending date 29/6/2011
• July 2010 - April 2011: Downloaded all free games, addons etc that was on offer.
• April - May 2010: PSN outage. 70 days added to my subscription. New ending date 6/9/2011
• June- Early July 2011: Downloaded all new offers.
• 17 July 2011: Bought the 1 Year extension, New ending date 6/9/2012
• August 2011-Today, donloaded all new offers.

Items expired:

• Pre-PSN outage expired on 29/6/2011, my original supscription end date, had I not renewed
• June 2011: 28/8/2011
• July 2011 (Pre-renewal): 7/9/2011
• Post-renewal: No expiration date

The expired games can't be re-downloaded. No trace of them in the download list, and if I visit the Store they can only be bought again for money.

So, if you renewed during the 70 free days, go check your downloaded games to see if they are still playable.

Guys does anyone know the cheapest place I can get 20 or 50 US network codes from?

Thanks

[see5harp]

Why the hell can you not buy a single month of PS plus? Anyone with a promo code?

 

[Number45]

Because they don't want people to be able to just subscribe for the months that have content that they want.

 

[mr jones]

Because they don't want people to be able to just subscribe for the months that have content that they want.

Why not? They do three months, and Microsoft, their direct competitor, does 1 month gold membership cards.

MS doesn't give you discounts on XBLM content with their subs do they? Sony obviously want to maximise their return and subsidise the cost of the content on offer - so if people see discounts that they want they know they'll get three months instead of the one.

I never said it was a good consumer decision, but I understand why they want to do it as a business.

They have been doing deal of the week since forever ago, which is for Gold only. The 2 day trials don't allow you sale prices or the early demos which does sorta suck but if I could buy 1 month just to get some of the stuff on sale here, I would. This is the best sale PSN has had in a long time.

 

[foladar]

Any clue if the PS+ stuff will reset today, 1/31 or 2/7?

US 2/7, EU 2/8.

So for EU it's not the first Wednesday of the month but the Wednesday after the first Tuesday of the month, because (of course) the US has to go first.

 

[Carl]

Nope. EU is now tomorrow. They changed it "due to popular demand"

we've been getting complete PS1 collections of sony published titles, wonder if they'll keep going with that.

This month's EU offering should be revealed at 4pm today. Only known item so far is Laughing Jackal's latest mini, Hungry Giraffe (apparently with the ability to upscale to a higher resolution on the PS3)
