did you also try deleting your account? I got that same message before deleting my account from my psp.

I first deleted, then deactivated (they are two separate things) before signing in with my alt id.

What do you mean by "delete?" I still have my main account games on the stick and I don't want to delete those as they're 1.6+ gigs. :/

It doesn't really matter anyway if I'm just going to get 800 errored onto the store without a chance of getting Killzone Liberation and Pursuit Force. :/

20 mins in to patching Burnout Paradise, and it's only 50%, this is fucking stupid. Why can't they upload patched builds?

It's not that bad. There's only 9 patches if the main patcher is 50% you're nearly done. Paradise is oh so worth it if you enjoy Sandbox racers.

MediaGo was working on the US store for PSP Welcome back. It isn't working in the UK store for me. :/
 
it's dumb how you have to download the game RIGHT THEN in order for it to be finalized as your selection. i tried adding the games to my cart but when i checked out after PSP Game 2 it only had that game in the cart. checked my list of WB games and only the PSP Game 2 was there.

sigh

Yep, got stuff downloaded just fine on both stores. However the PSP stuff was only accessible with a PSP on the EU store. I got a lot of errors though so keep trying.

I was able to get in just a few minutes ago. It would throw an error on a few screens, but would generally load after another try. I didn't actually buy anything through it though, I'm doing all that through the PS3.

What exactly does Fury add to Wipeout HD? I have the base Wipeout HD but have hardly ever played it, so thought I might go ahead with the Wipeout freebie.

Also, got Killzone Liberation for PSP, what would people suggestion for the other one - thinking Modnation, since that's about the only thing that looks interesting to me.

The fury addon perhaps?

Serious non-asshole answer: A few new maps, new modes for online and offline play, a new singleplayer campaign, new trophies.

Modnation is okay, but it's driving handling is really funky. :/

LBP isn't bad for a downgraded PSP port. But it's graphics are TERRIBLE.

Pursuit Force I haven't tried but some people seem to like it.
 
Got Dead Nation and now waiting for Infamous. Only 1351 minutes to go! But seriously, it's downloading at a SNAILS PACE and I don't know why. High traffic I guess. :|

You getting an error code? Just keep trying. It's the servers being hammered.

Oh, nevermind. I'm an idiot. Please smack me in the face for not thinking of clicking triangle on account management and seeing "delete account" there.

That worked. Thanks. I have all the PSP titles now, granted two in different regions but I can't complain.

Awesome, NA Wipeout HD Fury works with UK Wipeout HD.

I'm quite happy with all this, 4 free games on the PS3 and 2 on the PSP :D
 

VanMardigan

has calmed down a bit.
Playstation Network is such an embarrassment. I don't have a super fast connection, but it sucks that I leave my ps3 on overnight to download the huge demos and they don't properly install, then the free movies don't download properly, instead going to a low percent and then going to pending. In top of that, I pick up super stardust only to realize that Sony doesn't have the latest version on their servers, so I have to download an additional 238mb patch, which I cannot background download. Eff this, eff Sony and their dumb ass policies. Just copy Xbox live dammit. Small patches, more stable downloads, and no stupid installs.

No you don't? Turn the PS3 off. It'll resume where it was when you reboot it up the next day/week/year. :|

Anyway, PSP's store works on 6.20-TN-D, hey Sony: Don't turn that off, pleaseums? Not all of us are criminals and so long as you guys patched your developer net hole, I don't see the big deal letting those of us on HEN/"CFW" get content off your servers if we're buying it. :|

OH YEAH AND KOJIMA: UNLOCK THE GODDAMN UNIGLOW OUTFITS IN PEACE WALKER FOR MORE THAN ONE SAVE ON A PSN ACCOUNT, PLZ? Fucking stupid that my save got corrupt and takes my awesome Big Boss as Che shirt with it. :|
 
I've currently got Dead Nation and Wipeout (already owned it, but didn't have Fury) downloading. At this rate they'll be done by sometime tomorrow.

okay so two possibly stupid questions

is LBP the GOTY edition?

and is it possible to claim your freebies without having to download them right away?

don't have internet fast enough to download them at the moment :-(

Absolutely. Just open them in the store without downloading so you get the little red shopping bag icon next to the product icon and it'll be added to your download history.

I think his issue is that the games are downloading very slowly for him.

AFAIK, no. But Free $30-60 game + paid $15 in expansions (MGS, PotC) = good deal anyway.

Read what I quoted? He is saying he has to leave his PS3 on to download. No he doesn't. He can stop that download by shutting the PS3 down and it'll resume downloading when he boots the PS3 up next time.

It has nothing do with the slow speed of the download right now.

Did you read the whole sentence? It sounds like he's saying that after he leaves it on all night to download the demo, it doesn't install properly.

Then something is fucking up on his/Sony's end. Because I've stopped downloads in the middle of downloading by shutting the PS3 off before and have resumed, installed them fine.

wait what?! you can do this?! fuuuuuu

Yes?
 
The amount of free shit i am getting due to all of this is ridiculous. Consider me a fan. Even just getting an assload of free avatars and themes is nice, let alone all the games and add on content. Now i just have to make sure i dont spend too much money on all of the awesomely cheap stuff

fake edit: fucking balls i just bought all the street fighter 2 avatars.

What themes and avatars are there? I can't see them in MediaGo or the PSP store. :/

Really liked R&C: Quest for Booty. First R&C game I've played and liked. Except for that shadow puzzle on Darkwater's island, grrr.
 
Need help. Tried to get wipeout and it brought up 3 items, the demo,add-on and full game unlock. I got full game unlock and add on but the add on is on my game utility. The game itself is not on my PS3 downloads.

The demo is the full game with the unlock you downloaded, you're cool, no worries, just install as usual.

That's all Welcome Back or is that PS+ If it's Welcome back I'm going to have to ask Killthee to grab the Tricell and LBP stuff along with the themes.

Off the top of my head, Tricell (RE) avatar, Ken (SF) avatar, some LBP ones, Motorstorm ones, and more. Some dynamic themes like Force Unleashed 2, Yakuza 4, SEGA Genesis (best one), Sonic 4, PS Plus theme, Fish tank, Fireplace, maybe more.

Stuff like that and the games are cool. Dunno if it will get me to subscribe but the amount of little things that are free is nice.
