It's not odd at all. You're installing to the same HDD you're downloading to. They should just do what MS do on 360 though: pausing all downloads when installing to the HDD.FoxhoundNL said:
It not only slows down the install but also the downloads that are happening at the same time. It's faster to download everything then install everything than it is to download and install at the same time.h3ro said:

Man, I'm really enjoying Infamous. I haven't played an open world game in a long time. I think that's part of why it's appealing to me. The powers are fun to use and the story's been pretty cool so far. Love the superhero vibe to it. 
Also played some Dead Nation last night. I had to get accustomed a bit to the controls. Even though you use R1 to shoot at the zombies, it still has kind of a twin stick shooter feel going for it. I accidentally kept throwing grenades because I kept pushing L1. I have that setup so burned in my mind (L1 to zoom, R1 to shoot) it's just habit.
Once I switched throwing grenades to the square button I was good. I've been enjoying both games though, but definitely liking Infamous more.

Finally managed to get inFAMOUS and Wipeout downloaded.
Really liked the brief time I spent with both of them. Looking forward to more of it!

infamous gets into a bit of a slump once you unlock the second area, but push through because the powers you get become incredible.purple cobra said:Man, I'm really enjoying Infamous.

So I'm still new to PS3.
I have an account that is eligible for the Welcome Back program, but is not my main account. Once I download and install those games. Can my regular PSN account enjoy those full games as if they owned them?
A comparison would be with Xbox Live. If one profile buys an Xbox Live Arcade game, any other profiles on the system can play the full game as well, but do not "own" it.

The store was acting wonky last night but I got my 2 free games. Sadly I had most of the 'free' offerings already but went with Dead Nation and Wipeout HD since I didn't own them.
Dead Nation is good, seems pretty fun so I'm happy with that. I'm not a fan of Wipeout to be honest though, I don't understand why people like it as it seem so boring, but for free the price was right.

Gotta say I never really used PSN before. Now I got 5 full games for free.
Sony is awesome.

PlayStation Home Welcome Back Package Details
http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/06/04/playstation-home-welcome-back-package-details/
On my US account I was able to redeem psp games and download them even tho I don't have a PSP. I intend to buy a NGP sooner or later.
Can't seem to do it on my Australian one tho :| It makes it sound like they have separated accounts there.
Speaking of my Australian one, I don't have Fury so I guess I'll delete my US Wipeout and download Australia's.

Just spent some time playing the Welcome back games (and the PSN+ stuff I missed)
InFamous - Pretty good. I think I'll enjoy this. From the short amount I played Cole seems like a likeable guy which I didn't expect from what I've seen of infamous (not much to be honest).
Dead Nation - meh. Could be good but it's so damn dark (I know, that's the point) Could be fun in co-op. I like how they have a world wide tracking thing that seems to pool the collective players data together from each region. Found it a bit funny Japan was at top (above America) for some reason.
Wipeout HD/Fury - I already had this from PSN+ way back but it's nice to have this for keeps now when/if I let me PSN+ run out.
Super Stardust HD - I like. Nice twin-stick shooter with lots of pretty colours and effects.
James Pond - One of the PSN+ titles up. a PS1 classic. WTF? I mean, I'm outside an arctic castle one minute, go through a door and am in a weird world with ping pong paddles and balls as a background. I expected it to be a side srcolling platformer but not as weird as this, like with levels that make more sense.
Not had a chance to play the PSP games I downloaded (Modnation Racing and Killzone: Liberation) because I only have a 1GB memorystick for my PSP. Might hold off on playing them until the NGP/Vita is out and I have one. Unless I find a cheap memstick duo that can hold the games (and while it's at it all the PS1 games from PSN+).

Have to say that this Welcome Back program has treated me well. I ended up grabbing:
1. Infamous
2. LittleBigPlanet
3. Dead Nation
4. Ratchet and Clank: Quest For Booty
5. Modnation Racers
6. Pursuit Force (Already have Killzone, don't want another LBP)
Then I activated my Euro PS+ and grabbed Burnout Paradise and Streets of Rage 2.
I'm just waiting for the the Japanese PStore and Hong Kong PStore to be back to get WipeOut

Wow. Infamous is painfully sloppy. And the Hollywood cheese / dreadful cliched writing and story-telling is suffocating. Very disappointed.
Glad I got the 60 minute demo before deciding to get it. If you have PSPlus (oh wait... you all do!). I recommend getting that first. Infamous 2 demo on there too I'll try out. Hopefully they fixed a lot of issues.
Wipeout and LBP for me! Woo!

LBP (PSP version) doesn't seem to be working for me. The game downloaded and installed fine but after the warning stuff it just gets stuck on a blank screen. Is anyone else having this problem?
A lot of people on neogaf enjoyed it and are hyped for inFAMOUS 2. inFAMOUS is rated 9.2 on IGN and 85 on metacritic.boutrosinit said:
I've only played the non full game demo back in the day and enjoyed that.
I might think it sucks but most people have some of the games or multiple region accounts. So, I got it for one.
MediaGo lets me login to my EU account (which I finally parsed a working token reset link to do. Goddamn Sony, at least parse your links better. :|), I see the EU store. Click the welcome back package and... nothing showing there.
Is the Welcome Back package not up there, or is MediaGo region locked? I'd kinda like to get Pursuit Force and Killzone Liberation for my PSP from there. :/
Uh, no it isn't. Content creation stuff and some costumes are LBP1 found only, to where you can't get them in 2 unless you have 1.

My downloads were going slow, for some reason if I pause and unpause them it speeds up. My Rachet download was taking forever then I paused/unpaused and its almost done

As far as the errors go, I just kept trying over again until they stopped. It worked everytime.

I think try again is the theme here, using that state of mind made every thing work, got me past the no content and error problems.
LBP is downloading sooo slow though
