Is Assassin's Creed II free?
I'm downloading it right now, and it doesn't say full-game trial. It says full-game. Dutch Store:
Weird.
Will update this post when the game is installed!
Noticed this as well with Brotherhood. But there's a point where I can choose the version and then it shows me that there is a free trial and the full version for 14,99€. But when I do the same with Revelations both have the 'bought' sign behind them. Of course I'm downloading Rev right now. Hm.

Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.
Same here with Brotherhood. But with Assassin's Creed II, there was no choice. Just one: Download the full game, exclusive for +. 0,00 euro's.
Well, we will see in about twenty minutes. Certainly makes this afternoon a bit more interesting

Read the description. It's a trial.
(the big wall of text on the righthand side of the screen; still visible on your photo, behind the translucent checkout screen)
It's one of the many confusing things on the new store... but all you have to do is read the description text.

Well since Valve gets 100% revenue from them thats unfair example
Now that Sony has started putting retail exclusives on psn i expect good sales atleast for their exclusives just like thr latest sales going on
Haha, I wasn't saying it was fair I just didn't realize it was that much on consoles when it was literally a day or two ago I saw it for $4 is all.
R&C is up via search for me (UK). Both that and Cubixx were showing as free and I went through to checkout, haven't tried downloading them yet though.

Just click the [X] on the left side?
R&C is under the All Star Special Sale.

The new store is so bad that it makes me want to not bother continuing my PS+ sub next year. I hate having to go anywhere near that horrible slow thing, knowing that it will be a chore to like through the new content. Finding All 4 One by accident in an area of the store that isn't the PS+ one didn't exactly help matters. So forget looking through content, Sony doesn't want us to even fucking find it.
Luckily, the ton of free games still outweighs all of that.

The fact that Atlus is having a sale this week that catherine is not part of makes me think that it's probably not coming to ps+ soon.

Yeah noticed R&C was missing from PS+. Knowing how bad it's organised made me search straight for it and find the free download rather than assuming it wasn't available.
How hard would it be to employ someone to go through every item in their database and make sure it shows correctly in the store? There's games which only show up in the search (e.g. Skydrift), games which don't show up in the search (e.g. Darksiders) ... Just a mess.

Yup, but if you press triangle from the XMB and click Purchase, it'll take you to the nice old store where it's free. Amazing!

Bought Dyad and download(ing)
Can't play it till Friday though -_-
Edit: That said, they got the trial and unlock key the wrong way round in the download list

Any word on future Day 1 Digital releases? Hitman and Far Cry 3 are coming up soon.
To your credit, they've never done the best job of explaining how it all works. It is a good value though, hope you enjoy it!

They added that part this summer, and if you do sign up, you might still be able to use the 'quirky' new store to grab all the games which were meant to have expired already.

Platinum Trophy: Learned to Shit While Upright Again.
They havent's advertised their hardware or software, you really think they will do so for a fucking service
That would be like the ultimate troll for Sony
No money to show off the PS3 or Vita and the games it runs and plays, but lets show off DAT Rental Service

Platinum Trophy: Learned to Shit While Upright Again.
Nope, funny enough
I'm calling right now as I type...
On hold
No one knows WTF is going on, now I'm pissed
Called Saturday no clue, told to call Monday for Genius Tech Support (they don't work weekends)
Call Monday, again no clue, talked to supervisor, who then transferred me to tech support
We did countless, I do mean countless menial tasks
Reboot, 3 beeps, are you logged into same account, check your history, are you sure you are on GraveRobberX handle?
Sign-Out, tell me your sign-in, sign-in, now what's your name you are signed in under
Reboot the system 2nd time (do database refresh) [Rebuild]
Go to store buy something
Transaction history, 10+ different scenarios here
etc.
Then after 1 hour 30 minutes
"Wow, no clue, you are the only person in NA with this issue... We will investigate... 2-3 days tops"
Call today, "We have changed the timeline to TBD, sorry, we didn't inform you, we should have, but you called us, thanks, just wait it out...."
"Umm... new PS+ store update content I can't get to, now what?"
"Sux2bu, when it's resolved, we will see what we can do, till then you're SOL"
"FML"
Funny how on my Vita I can see RE5 being purchased and in my list, yet the PS3 doesn't recognize it, never bought it or is my DL list
Try to re-purchase either I get "Sorry Content Not Allowed" or "$29.99" please
Fuck This Noise!
I've been trying to d/l RE5 for a few days now. Every time, it downloads but won't install. Just bails out with some wacky hexadecimal number that basically translates to "LOL try again."
I've gone through and deleted all the "corrupt data" I can find, and deleted the install bubble, and now I'm downloading it YET AGAIN. We'll see what happens.

Do you have enough free space?
If the game is 5GB, you need another 5GB to "unpack" the game.

Why do games need to unpack and install while on XBL its just DL and play?
Sounds like your HDD is failing.
I think it just says you don't have enough room in that case.

360 definitely does that whole process much better.

XBL just hides it better.
I always just shutdown the PS3 and choose to keep downloads going. This auto-installs (and I know when it is done) so it is no longer really an issue.

When I download demos on my Xbox they're instantly playable when they're finished downloading.
The installing part is hidden in the download.

What's the scoop on Plus on Vita?
I thought it was going to go 'live' this November....

The EU announcement was pushed back to early next week but they insist that the "live" date hasn't changed. We're only a third into November...

It is. But I'm an impatient bastard. I'd rather it was November 1st than November 30th..
Yeah, i suppose..... I hope they don't give Modnation Racers for free though because I just bought it yesterday since it was half-priced in the sale.

They promised not to give anything that is on sale.

EU PSN Plus here.
Is anyone else finding R&C All 4 One an absolute mother-fucker to download and install? I've had to download the bastard twice already and first time it knackered itself at 95% and the second time install errors after 30%.
If not I'll go away and smash things up/calm down.

It's like I download a .zip file off PS3 and on XBL I download an already unzipped file.
Fucking thing needs 30GB free space, didn't bother downloading yet.
Same reason applications on a Mac run from a single location but Windows applications spread themselves around the OS. Bizarrely the 360 is more like a Mac than a Windows PC in this respect.
The technical reason is that the 360 can execute disc images (e.g. like an ISO) and that's effectively what you download. A PS3 download is more like a zip or tar and all the many files inside need to be extracted and saved in the correct location.
This is also the reason why 360 disc installs are faster. When you install a DVD on 360 it is just saving an image of the whole disc. On PS3 the OS has to find each file on the BD then copy it to the right place in the OS.

They reorganized the EU store. Much better now.
I like the Top 10 Game charts. Also it barely stutters at all now.
