Support NeoGAF

[Hanmik]

My plus subscription screwed me over .. Because i had played the infamous trial with my plis subscribtion, i could not get the game for free. It just registrered as a trial, and expired when the time was up. No matter how many times i tried downloading it, it Would not show up on my download list. So i tried one of the other games, ratchet quest for booty. Now Im stuck with dead nation and ratchet.

But i really want infamous.. I just remembered i had an old uk account. But unfortunatly the email adress cannot be accesed anymore, because the site is gone. I remember my email adress and login.. So does anyone know if I can contact sony Uk to help me..? In the faqs they say you can contact them if you do not have acces to the mail anymore. So does anyone have an email adress to contact them..?

Anyone..?

 

[CronosBlade]

I tried to select my first free game, and before I could PSN error'd out. Now it says I've already redeemed my first free game offer even though I never selected/downloaded anything.

Solutions?

Read the OP.

 

[TheSeks]

Ugh. Modnation PSP's control/handling is a bit awkward. It isn't a bad game, but I kinda regret it now. :/

LBP PSP is a decent port, it's too bad graphically it's weak and Sony Bend had to fuck up Sackboys expressions and "customization" with the pulled back camera. That plus no multiplayer. For free, I can't complain. But I do kinda feel ripped off. :/

Killzone Liberation and Pursuit Force probably would've been better.

 

[thundr51]

Anybody know when whe JPN store is going to open and if the games are going to be different?

Incidentally, when you have PSPlus, are there discounts on everything or only on certain games? If only certain games, does the list change?

What? LBP is made by Sony Cambridge and it has excellent graphics for the system. No need to feel ripped off at all for that one (never played ModNation). Besides it's fucking free and you could choose yourself, that can never be a rip off.

 

[TheSeks]

I disagree. Cambridge did a good job porting a console version of a game down to the PSP. However, graphically it's really weak and Sackboy looks terrible on it. :/ Spoiled by HD, I guess. But when you can't really tell what Sackboy is wearing in terms of eye customization, you know the graphics are poor for the idea of customization.

Might as well go with the default Sackboy to go through the platformer.

 

[StuBurns]

LBP PSP is not a port. I don't think it looks very good though.

 

[Man]

Anyone have the PSP Welcome back content dissappear? I activated the 'ticket' yesterday and was about to download ModNation Racers when I got an error.
I decided to wait until today but now it's empty.

 

[Dabanton]

Well i've grabbed inFAMOUS and will select my second game later.

 

[jett]

awww yea multiple accounts FTW. I can't remember the last time I got so many new games at the same time. :lol Also been playing Bayonetta... I have to say all in all Sony behaved like a champ.

That's because of the PSP's low resolution, they couldn't do much about that (again, I personally thought they did a good job). Next to that the physics take a huge chunk of the RAM and CPU recources unlike on the PS3 so it wouldn't be fair to compare them.

I can't even log in because I only saved my password (which I forgot) on the PS3. On top of that the password change service is down :/

 

[Dambrosi]

Anyone..?

Have you tried to log in to the spare UK account with your current email and password? Could still work. All you have to do is change the password, after all.

You can change the rest of that account's details, including the email address, through Account Management once the password is changed.

EDIT: Ah, I forgot, the password change system is (I hope) temporarily down. Just wait it out a few days.

 

[MicH]

Ahh, I can't make up my mind. I already have WipEout HD (no Fury) and love it, but is it worth to "waste" one of my free games on the HD Fury pack? Or should I get Death Nation or Ratchet... arrrhhhh... I'm leaning more and more towards Death Nation. Is it recommended?

 

[Man]

I was able to download ModNation Racers PSP via my PS3 however.

This is what happens when you give 77 million users free content galore.

 

[CoG]

I only downloaded inFAMOUS but for some reason my second free game tile disappeared in the store. Nothing else in the download queue. WTF?

Password system works.. But you have to be able to acces your mail. Because they send you a password reset link to that mail..
Or are there other ways to do it..?

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Dead Nation now has voice chat which it lacked at first. Solid buy.

 

[Phreaker]

This has been an awesome Welcome Back experience!

Perhaps a "READ THE MOTHERFU"!#$ING OP ON THIS MOTHERFU"!#$ING THREAD" title will help.

Quick alert the mods I think gaf has been hacked


As for the peeps loving Infamous I hope u guys pick up Infamous 2 NEW and show Sucker Punch some love.

 

[schick85]

Killzone Liberation and Pursuit Force probably would've been better.

You'd still be feeling "ripped off" if you had chosen those two instead. Believe me.

Have you ever bought (or "bought" through a glitch, like Vice City Stories on PSP a while back) anything through this account? Anything that needs activation will do!

If so, you might be able to get away with just changing it there and then, on the machine itself, without needing to access the dead email.

Oh, yeah - have you tried accessing the email address itself? Silly question, but just making sure.

@Voilator: oh, fuck yeah. Not day 1, mind you (maybe day 7?), but I'll be sure to buy it new.

awww yea multiple accounts FTW. I can't remember the last time I got so many new games at the same time. :lol Also been playing Bayonetta... I have to say all in all Sony behaved like a champ.

What? On PS3? Are you mad?

This isn't like the Jett I know. Are you alright? Have a lie down if you're not feeling too well, there's a dear.

 

[Seraphis Cain]

Who are you and what did you do with jett?

[Luigiv]

Ok finally grabbed my PS3 games but why are the PSP games not live in Pal-land yet?

 

[DukeSucks]

downloaded infamous and wipeout last night while sleeping. Just played a few races in wipeout, don't really know what I'm doing yet, but it's fun!

thanks sony!

My ps3 ylod'ed during the outage. So i have a new ps3 where none of my accounts where activated. So I cannot change password on my ps3.

I tried accesing the mail but the homepage where i accesed it is gone. So i have no idea how to acces it.. The homepage was called www.leitel.fo and it is gone.. Is there anyway to acces it then..?

 

[helloresolven]

Got Dead Nation & Super Stardust.

Why don't the downloads from the store include everything up to the latest patch?! It'd be so much easier .

 

[Dambrosi]

You have to download them using your PSP, apparently. I'm currently trying through Media Go on my PC, wish me luck. Nope. "Content not found" error. Oh well.

Helloresolven: tell me about it. Updating Burnout Paradise took almost as long as downloading and installing it!

 

[Mesijs]

I'm taking Pursuit Force and either LBP or MNR... Can you say something about the (offline) replay value of these two games.


For anyone that doesn't have Killzone Liberation: take it, it's FANTASTIC. One of the best games on the system, and also really challenging and long, with good replay value. Great game, very underrated.

 

[Vagabundo]

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow.

 

[Dunlop]

Got Dead Nation & Super Stardust.

this, I had no speed issues downloading either game but the patching took forever

 

[Luigiv]

I already tried that. PSP, Media Go, PS3; none of them had it.

Edit: Ahh did some digging in the PSP store, found it (why the fuck wasn't it on the front page?).

 

[archnemesis]

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow.

Once I got past the 80710D36 errors I was able to download and install LittleBigPlanet in less than 10 minutes. However, I find it really annoying that they don't put up the latest builds on the PSN store. When I booted up the game for the first time I had to download two new patches.

 

[Wilester]

Does it seem like trophies are unlocking quicker to anyone else since PSN came back online? I remember trophies taking ages to ping and while playing Burnout now, it seems to happen immediately.

 

[DaBargainHunta]

Quick question (my apologies if this has already been covered): Am I still able to download and truly own Wipeout HD even though I already got it for Plus? That wasn't possible in the past.

Does anyone know? I'd hate to get this and then PSN somehow still thinks it's tied to my Plus subscription and has an expiration date. That would obviously be a waste.

 

[hirokazu]

Earning trophies, or syncing them? I don't think earning trophies has anything to do with the PlayStation Network.

 

[Wilester]

Earning them. I didn't think it was and it's probably just a massive coincidence that the first trophy I earn since it came back happened to unlock immediately after the event that triggered it happened.

 

[Zoe]

WTF, nooooo, ran out of space!

Completely forgot I still haven't replaced the 120GB with my old 300GB >_<

 

[V1nC3nt]

Stuck with inFAMOUS in 99% (7010 MB / 7056 MB), Downloading... -> Pending -> Downloading... -> Pending --> Downloading... --> Pending ....................

This the second try with the same error. Any ideas?

 

[Ned]

Sure seems like a lot of people bitching about free stuff...all worked fine for me so read the OP because some of you seem to be doing free stuff wrong.

Love the 'I cannot complain because it is free' posts. You realize you are complaining right?

 

[TONX]

For anyone who downloads inFamous, don't forget to download the gigawatt blades power add-on in the PS Store. Its free.

 

[Fuzzy]

Got Dead Nation & Super Stardust.

Why don't the downloads from the store include everything up to the latest patch?! It'd be so much easier .

I'm pretty sure it's because it's cheaper and quicker for a developer to have a patch certified by Sony for download on PSN than having to resubmit for certification the entire game with the patch already installed.

 

[tusken77]

So, with this Playstation Plus I plan on downloading Burnout Paradise and smashing through it for a month.

Simple question: after my 30 days of free Plus is over, do I get to keep the trophies?

 

[Zapages]

I just brought Infamous, Rachet and Clank, Little Big Planet, and Wipeout.

 

[seady]

Already have inFamous and LBP… will get Wipeout HD and what? Dead Nation or Super Stardust HD?

Those PSP offerings are pretty crappy. Already have LBP for PSP too and the rest are meh. I wish Modnation Racers is for PS3 instead.

 

[Wilester]

Yes

 

[Fuzzy]

Yes. The only trophies you don't keep are the ones from the 1-hour full game trials although if you later buy those games then you get everything you already earned right away.

 

[UpperCaseN]

Got Dead Nation and Super Stardust HD last night along with BttF episode 3 my download queue took like 5 hours to finish. LBP is downloading on PSP right now... I guess I'll get Modnation Racers as my 2nd? The PSP offerings are meh indeed, I'd rather have been given like 4 minis compared to 2 full games if I'd have known it'd be these. Ah well, free is free.

 

[tusken77]

Simple question, simple answer! Thanks Wilester.

And thanks for the additional info, Fuzzy.
