Was tempted to get one of those ebay cards mentioned above, but appears that it's only for US accounts (I'm in the UK). Booo. Can't seem to find any European versions of it.

Might just be a less of a cheapskate and just pay for the year, but only after next bit of work

 

[zulux21]

given that the last time IGN brought up a ps plus survey we basically got the first option I figured that this is worth posting.

IGN is talking about a new survey

the big part related to plus would be this

The survey reads: “Imagine that as part of PlayStation Plus, every time you bought a game on either PS3 or PS Vita, you would be entitled to get the game on the other console absolutely free. So, if you bought Resistance on PS Vita, you could download Resistance on PS3 for free. Or if you got FIFA on PS3, you could download the PS Vita version for free.”

with a few other things in there not completely related to plus. Again keep in mind this is from a survey thus is far from a confirmed future feature.

 

[SmithnCo]

That feature would be amazing, I'd even pay extra for it.

interesting, will create a topic, can lead to good discussion on this

Yep. That's worth about a tenner a month to me.

 

[cyborg009]

how Infamous 2 looks great makes infamous seem like a tech demo....

is it running at 60 fps?

 

[Derrick01]

That feature would be nice I guess but I'd like that to be optional as I don't have a Vita and with the way the system is going I won't for a long time for fear of it dying. This is assuming they charge more for + with a feature like that.

Think 30 fps. But this time locked at 30 instead of varying like infamous 1.

 

[SuperEpicMan]

aaaaagghhhhh

As I mentioned in a some earlier posts, I encountered a problem where downloads for games like Darksiders would randomly stop, and after stopping and starting over, they would stop at the same place.

For some background on my playstation, I bought it new in november 2011, 160gb model, but I changed it with a 320gb hard drive that was in my ylod fat ps3.

Someone mentioned I should reformat the hard drive, so I did and 18 hours later when I try to download it again, it stops at 19% again. I then just decided to swap my hard drive back out to the one that originally came with the ps3 (160gb), just reformatted and started it up again, this time it stops at 6%, can some one please put me out of my misery and tell me what in flying fakery is going on with my playstation lol

Mine would do that and I just reset the ps3...but it seems you've done that and more. Look at your internet settings? I have no idea dude. I'm sorry..

Does it have hardware issues? I haven't been following it.

Edit: LOL. That totally went over my head.

 

[Derrick01]

Does it have hardware issues? I haven't been following it.

No I mean like it's going to be Dreamcasted. It's bombing on an epic scale and Sony seems to be treating it worse than PSP in terms of support and information. I don't want to buy one to have it be discontinued or just plain ignored like PSP was for a couple of years.

 

[Eusis]

Like the 3DS the holiday season will likely be the true test. I doubt CoD and AC will have the same power as Mario though, although being exclusive new games will likely help so long as they aren't crap. Probably more AC than CoD though, I imagine AC appeals to a crowd that really might be willing to get a Vita for it if it's good, while the vast majority of CoD players would probably go "What's a Vita?"

 

[LightofRohan]

I got the free year at the Sony Conference and I'm loving this thing. So many free games! It's nice having the opportunity to try out games I'd never touch and be able to discover Awesomenauts and how awesome it is.

I wish there were more things like this on consoles, where you can opt into getting a variety of games at random for free (w/ the yearly pass). Fun trying random stuff

 

[SuperEpicMan]

I was to hasty before the Darksiders eventually stopped at 19% again, even with a different hard drive in

 

[Hanmik]

I was to hasty before the Darksiders eventually stopped at 19% again, even with a different hard drive in

damn... are you using "background download"..?

 

[SuperEpicMan]

Yeah but I rang up playstation and they have told me to try port forwarding and not background downloading.

 

[Hanmik]

Yeah but I rang up playstation and they have told me to try port forwarding and not background downloading.

when my inFamous 2 download got stuck at the same point all the time, I tried downloading it without BG download. I managed to download the game, but it failed once I tried to install the game..

just a little question.. When my inFamous 2 download stopped, my PS3 froze, and I could only get it running by cancelling the DL.. did that happen to you?

 

[SuperEpicMan]

Nah when mine stops it just still says its downloading, but when i go into the status, the mb isn't increasing. It doesn't cause the console to freeze though.

 

[Hanmik]

ok...

but try downloading it directly from the store.. wtihout pressing "Background download".. that should do the trick for you..

 

[SuperEpicMan]

cool il try that, thanks

 

[Mystic Theurge]

I'm trying to play the Ratchet and Clank game but it's not working.

The opening cutscene keeps freezing at places, and before the main screen loads, I get a 8003051e error.

The game might have also fucked up my system. It seems slower and the Laura Croft game, which I downloaded after, won't create an autosave file.

Has this happened to anyone or does anyone have advice?

Edit: I forgot to mention. I deleted and redownloaded the Ratchet and Clank game, but it still doesn't work.

Have you googled that error code? I just did and many on the official PS forums have had that that same error pop-up.

 

[Mystic Theurge]

I did google it. But there wasn't anything specific to my situation.

 

[Shadybiz]

Yeah but I rang up playstation and they have told me to try port forwarding and not background downloading.

Just a question; are you hardwired (I can't remember if port forwarding automatically implies a wireless connection)? I remember having sort of the same issue you're having a couple years ago. Hardwired, and then everything was back to normal. I remember trying the port forwarding and all that, but didn't have any luck with it. Eventually just drilled a hole through my floor to run the wire

- For at få flere tip og gode råd om brug af dit PlayStation-system kan du besøge vores tekniske support-forums på community.eu.playstation.com.

http://dk.playstation.com/ps3/support/guides/detail/item480450/8003051E-Systemfejl/

basically it says it is a system error.. they suggest these three things:

- Restart PS3 system to see if error code comes again.
- If it comes again, you have to go into Safe Mode (guide here http://faq.en.playstation.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4545), and choose option 3 (restore file system)
- If this doesn´t work go to safe mode again and choose nr. 5 (restore PS3).. but this will delete everything, so you need to have a backup ready if you want to keep your stuff.

hope this helps..

Thanks, Hanmik. I tried restoring the file system, but it still gives me the error.

I'm going to call Sony, before I try reformatting.

how Infamous 2 looks great makes infamous seem like a tech demo....

is it running at 60 fps?

I think both Infamous and Infamous 2 look shoddy myself. Jaggies everywhere and clunky animations, don't get the love.

I'm surprised at how good Oddworld looks for an Xbox 1 port though. And at silky smooth 60fps too. Spent a good bit of time playing that last night thanks to Plus.

Nah I have it connected wirelessly

 

[KalBalboa]

Really? Even inFamous 2? The first game, while awesome, doesn't have the most timeless visuals, but the second game was gorgeous (especially when you consider that it's an open-world game).

 

[Shadybiz]

If at all possible, I would suggest hardwiring. I think the PS3's just have finnicky wireless cards sometimes; I know two other people that had to do this with theirs, as well. I would at least try it to see if it lets you do the download you want to do.

Really? Even inFamous 2? The first game, while awesome, doesn't have the most timeless visuals, but the second game was gorgeous (especially when you consider that it's an open-world game).

Nice. I did the download the other day (all 15 gigs of it..lord), but was only able to play a few minutes of it. Looking forward to breaking it in this weekend, though.

 

[red731]

MY REACTION AFTER NOT CHECKING PSSTORE FOR A LONG TIME AND SEEING FIRST GAME, THEN SECOND, THIRD.....

HOLY ****! I knew that they've said something about upping the game with PLUS, but DAMN!

 

[LightofRohan]

Is darksiders free?

 

[Wario64]

Not in the US

 

[Anony]

gonna post here cuz i didnt want to make a new thread and this is the closest topic i guess

The PS3 will format and load everything necessary on a fresh drive. Nothing needs to be moved unless you want to save it (saves/videos/music...). And saves can be uploaded to PSN+ and they will auto sync to the new drive.

 

[DBT85]

No mention of the Everybodys Golf sale for the weekend for EU Plus users? Extra 10% off on top of the discount already given.

 

[jonno394]

Nearly finished my first PSN+ game. Darksiders has been an excellent ride and this experience will definitely make me pick up the sequel come august - don't want to wait 2 years for it to be a PSN+ download game.....

Tried Chime and Outland; the former isn't my cup of tea, the latter is pretty cool.

inFamous 2 will be next!

 

[MasLegio]

No mention of the Everybodys Golf sale for the weekend for EU Plus users? Extra 10% off on top of the discount already given.

probably because we cannot see what the games cost due to the stupid fucking interface designers that are stupid fucking twats who do not know shit about UI design


why the fuck do they use white text!!???

Looks like that did its job then

 

[ZenaxPure]

It's a smart plan.

I feel the same way about Just Cause 2, almost 50 hours into it now and close to getting the platinum, I love every moment of it. If there is another Just Cause game I am on board launch day.

I just started playing this but kinda felt controls were a bit odd and I don't have issues with any game control scheme.

 

[gblues]

Downloaded Just Cause 2. Already have it on disk, but I like having it on the PS3 so I don't need the disk in the drive. It even worked flawlessly with the save from the disk version.

Goddamn I love this game. It's like video game physics + action movie physics. It's goddamn Michael Bay: The Video Game.

The moment that hooked me:

In one of the first missions, you have to go find your contact who's stuck in a casino that's just been put on lockdown. So you grapple your way to the casino, find your guy, and find yourself getting shot at by attack helicopters. I waste a few clips shooting at the helicopter, then decide to grapple onto the chopper to get closer & take out the gunner. I see there's a prompt to "stunt jump" and I'm like, "sure, why not?" And next thing I know I've broken into the chopper, thrown the pilot out, and now I'm GODDAMN FLYING THE ATTACK CHOPPER AND SHOOTING THE OTHER CHOPPER DOWN HOLY SHIT THIS GAME IS AWESOME!

 

[ZenaxPure]

I just started playing this but kinda felt controls were a bit odd and I don't have issues with any game control scheme.

Once I changed the shooting controls to R1/L1 I had no real problem. It's weird at first because of the grappling/parachute mechanics but once I got accustomed to those I've had no problems.

Except with airplanes anyway. I can't fly the damn things at all.

I see there's a prompt to "stunt jump" and I'm like, "sure, why not?" And next thing I know I've broken into the chopper, thrown the pilot out, and now I'm GODDAMN FLYING THE ATTACK CHOPPER AND SHOOTING THE OTHER CHOPPER DOWN HOLY SHIT THIS GAME IS AWESOME!

Lol, yep. This is pretty much my reaction to every amazing thing in this game.

What hooked me was one of the earlier missions as well. Right after the casino actually, iirc. You are escorting the drunk back to his house while being pursued by the military guys. Near the end there is that gas station. I was on top one of the military trucks killing the passengers when I noticed it, freaked out, then grappled back to the main car. Pretty much exactly when I grappled away the military truck crashed into the station blowing it up and I just saw my dude zooming past the explosion. I was just like HOLY SHIT THAT WAS AMAZING and here I am 50 hours later still having a ton of fun.

 

[hitmon]

I agree, they both look terrible to me too. The jaggies was hard to ignore.

 

[IrishNinja]

just to make sure im doing this right: im adding everything id want to play later when i have HDD space to my download list, they should still be there past the expiration dates of being up on PSN store yeah? or do i need to start & activate them first? crap, please say just adding them in there is enough.

 

[DMeisterJ]

As long as you add them to your cart and confirm purchase, they're yours.

 

[leng jai]

Now I remember why I was so put off my Infamous 2 after playing the demo. What the fuck did they do to the audio? Truly terrible stuff.

 

[Ken Masters]

Playing infamous 2 now, like it a lot and it's visually a big upgrade but the characters new voice is sooo bad

 

[IrishNinja]

As long as you add them to your cart and confirm purchase, they're yours.

ah cool, thanks man!
