Did you just let it sit? Mine will slow down to nothing and signing in and out of PSN account through account management jump starts it to 1 MBps for a few minutes.

Yesterday I let it sit for an hour and it was basically where I left it.

Yeah, I just let it sit.

I went out for awhile and came back home to play the Wii so I've wasted a few hours doing that. Before I went to bed, it was finished.

I've downloaded all the free US games but WipEout. I'm doing that right now and it seems to be taking a while.

5 years later and I still don't have a single platinum trophy.

I recently got my first with Marvel vs. Capcom 3.

Neither do I.

I recently got my first with Marvel vs. Capcom 3.

After 20 mins of signing in and out whenever it stopped, it finally finished Quest for Booty just now without me having to intervene.

I haven't been patient enough to see how long it'd take to start downloading again by itself after stopping for 5+ minutes.

Well, since last night when an hour didn't seem to help.

Did you grab PS+? Automatic updates are a godsend.

 

[rapid32.5]

really enjoying Dead Nation, been playing whole day. Zombie Apocalypse pales in comparison. Is there even a demo for Dead Nation ? didn't check with these errors popping.

 

[SHAZOOM]

Is the Ratchet & Clank game worth it? Picked up Infamous + Wipeout HD from my US account, but haven't picked anything from my UK account (created for the Mirror's Edge Demo).

This. All new PS+ members need to turn this on. It's a shame that it's turned off by default.

If you're a fan of the series than I would definitely pick it up. It's around 4 to 5 hours long and there is more platforming in this game, which I prefer.

 

[jett]

I played some of the Ratchet game and so far it's exactly like the PS2 games. This series needs an overhaulin'.

platinum trophies are for d-bags.

Not sure about that , but I personally care very little about trophies.

 

[Fuzzy]

Too bad it doesn't check all of your games.

Always had it but I want to play Wipeout now, and the crappy net here is taking for ever

 

[TheSailerman]

Well, looks like it's finally time to upgrade the hard drive on my PS3. Between my brother and I, we were able to get all of the games (I already have LBP on disc), but we don't have enough space for InFamous or Dead Nation.

WipEout is fantastic though - I've been so caught up in it that I haven't even tried Super Stardust HD.

 

[Violater]

Its amazing so many people did not play SSD

 

[C.Dark.DN]

I didn't like the demo or buy it with $ or through this redemption. Everyone should have tried the demo by now.

Check out the NeoGAF thread for PS3 HDDs.

I managed to score a 320GB drive for only 50 bucks. The launch 20GB wasn't cutting it.

 

[Curufinwe]

Platinums make everything better. Trophies, Bayonetta, Vanquish.

Bayonetta is pretty easy to platinum; Vanquish is almost impossible.

 

[paperheart]

So, I'm guessing the Account Management > Transaction Management > Services > SCEA Promotions will help me out? I was able to go to the 'Welcome Back' section. Then, I clicked on 'Free PS3 Game 1'. I chose the Wipeout HD Bundle, then "Download Now" on the game page, and then "Get Now" on the following Welcome Back screen. I did that again for LBP PS3 and 2 PSP games. Thing is, they didn't go to my download list or anything like that.

 

[Boogiepop]

So.... anything I can actually do worthwhile with this PS+? Like, anything I can keep. I really don't give a damn about anything I'll just lose, so I'm wondering if I can get any use out of this.

Look for any discounted games that you want to have permanently and buy them.

 

[jett]

wow so many online games in wipeout hd! normally it's completely dead. :lol Any WOHD fan that wants to play online now's the perfect time. They are all newbs playing on venom but it's better than nothing. I hope they all remain, offering the game for free could turn out to be a great thing for the wipeout community.

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

Sweet Jesus. I was able to start downloading Infamous before leaving around noon. Left my PS3 on all day. Got back and only 58% done. Looks like it won't be done until tomorrow morning. Is this about what everyone else is getting or is something seriously wrong with my connection?

Hit enter on SCEA Promotions and hit enter on each listing. It'll probably say "remaining:1". So, you essentially added the promotion to your account but didn't redeem it because for whatever reason it didn't start the download. There will but a button to hit to take you to the welcome back page and you can download whatever game under that promotion. There's no need to remember what game you initially paired 1 or 2 with. After it starts downloading you can go back and see that 1 or 2 now says "remaining: 0".

If you cancel the download you then go under download list.

 

[ajf009]

Ok so I couldn't find this covered in the OP,

I downloaded my games, no problem, installed LBP and it works great. Installed Wipeout, and it's gone. not under my games section, checked the game utility data and it's there, nowhere to be found in my xmb however. so I deleted the utility data, went to my downloads and re-downloaded it. Nothing.


Any help?

PSN is getting hammered to hell right now.


Took me 8 minutes to upload my demons souls save file to the playstation cloud saves.


I was going to format my system and redownload all my stuff today but I think I am going to wait about a week or so.

Sounds a decent bit worse than mine, but mine still took, like, 10-11 hours to finish, so yeah...

 

[jett]

:lol Why are these newbs picking phantom speed? Everyone killed themselves but me in teh last race.

Infamous is a really popular choice, and people are no longer getting errors and can queue their downloads, so I'm assuming it's just the servers being hampered.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Infamous is also fucking huge (like 6 gigs, no?) The smaller games took me about 5-6 hours apiece so I can only imagine.

 

[Zoc]

It's been interesting trying out PS+. It isn't something I would ever spend money on, but the dynamic themes are neat, and I've downloaded six or seven of the full game trials. I like those, a couple of them is a pretty good evening of gaming. They helped me cross off a couple of entries from my to-buy list, too.

There's 3 separate downloads. The unlock key, the initial game, the fury addon. I installed the key first by accident and it was sitting under game data utility. I installed the initial game then fury. The listiing under game data utility eventually disappeared but the game is sitting there at the top of my installed game list playable.

 

[flyinpiranha]

So I went in and chose Stardust and Wipeout as my games, plus Modnation and LBP for the PSP ... but nothing shows up and now the choices are no longer there when I go to the "Welcome Back Package" area. Just the theme and the free month.

I looked for them in the cart, downloads, etc ... am I missing something here? It says that the "purchase was complete" or w/e with that message.

 

[larvi]

Well crap, I seemed to screw something up trying to get my free psp games using Media Go. I couldn't figure out how to get it to actually pick the game for my Free Game 1 and clicked and my Free Game 2 and got that but now I no longer see an option to get Free Game 1. Anyone have any ideas? I see instructions on the main page on how to get the offer back on the PS3 or PSP but not with the MediaGo software.

Read the OP.

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

Just glad I'm not alone. I'm pretty sure my connection is probably a bit slower than most, being out in the middle of nowhere, but I was starting to worry.

Also, I just looked at the movie rental choices. That's pretty pathetic. I think the game selections are decent enough. But the three choices for movies are... Ugh. I mean, Ghostbusters is amazing, but who among us haven't seen it a million times/own it on video. Bad Boys is... Bad Boys. And Final Fantasy? It was a bad movie then and age likely hasn't helped. I would have thought the movie selection would be much more diverse and interesting than the game section would be. I have Netflix, so whatever, but still...

Same here.

I just don't have the drive to grind through PS3 games like I do with 360. : /

Yep...I've had it from the start BUT...a whole bunch of people I know are now getting it and I have people to race with. I had forgotten how stellar this game is.

Why does my Australian account have a TV icon on the dashboard? It has iview and plus7 under it.

I redeemed PS+ on my main account is USA. No TV icon.

Region specific services. Like Netflix for USA.

Wish there was a tutorial. Some modes are confusing.

 

[Incitemaybe]

I chose Wipeout and chose not to download the Demo, why did it want me to download the Demo? Is it needed?

 

[DR3AM]

i agree, in some of the "neon" levels im like WTF do i have to do here

 

[Chamber]

The demo is the game. You get an unlock key with it.

 

[Infinite Justice]

I chose Wipeout and chose not to download the Demo, why did it want me to download the Demo? Is it needed?

Yes cuz the unlock key is used on it to get the full game.

 

[jett]

Play single-player. There's kind of an instruction manual buried in the main menu.

 

[DR3AM]

i think the demo is the full game, the key just unlocks it

 

[MechaGodzilla]

Haha... wow both my PS3 and PSP are broken and I haven't had the time to get them repaired or replaced and the media go glitched. Lost one of my slots, also am I just screwed for ps3 games unless I get a new system before the promotion ends?

 

[Incitemaybe]

Shit. Does it matter what order the 3 parts of Wipeout are downloaded in?

Log onto someones ps3 and redeem/download them for a second then cancel the download. I was able to redeem and download psp games on my ps3 even tho I don't own one. I'm hoping I can use my download list to get them after the promotion ends.

 

[C.Dark.DN]

downloading comes before installing
