Can you still download games youve purchased from PSN on a PS3 today?
YesCan you still download games youve purchased from PSN on a PS3 today?
Tell me how it's working out. I want to fire mine up but both controls are damaged. I can't justify dropping over $40 on Sony brand controls on two controls so long since the release. I've had an itch to replay the ICO & Shadow of the Colossus remasters.Installed a new 1TB SSD in my PS3. It didn't make much of a difference in downloading and installing, but it's a huge, HUGE, improvement when it comes to UI, booting games and load times and browsing the store. Everything feels snappy and moves fast, especially the store, which was the slowest piece of shit I've ever navigated through. It's also nice to have more internal storage. Since I started to buy and download all the remaining games in the store out of fear of Sony closing it, I was almost out of space with the original 320gb. Only got a couple of more classics to acquire then I'm set.

I'll check around for hard drives as it probably wouldn't hurt to format at minimum. Since the PS3s launch, I've owned the OG model (not the early one with BC but the 60gig just after it), the Slim and now embarrassingly enough...super slim (which really isn't that slim). That's right, the one I have at my current resident is that last model PS3 with the sliding disc door. Thanks so much for the recommendation on the controls. I didn't want to go Sony brand necessarily for the replacement either due to the battery age in those. I mean, one of the failed controllers was just that; it went through two batteries before I realized it was time to throw it into my supply cabinet. The other had extreme drift which even upon a few repair attempts would just revert back. This is nothing against Sony controls though. I mean, nearly every wireless control I've owned seems to get mild drift. Most are fixable (especially PowerA or other 3rd-party brands I've toyed around with).Yeah, sure. So far it's been working out just fine. Almost done re-downloading everything from the store. Gonna try out some discs and play around over the weekend. The new SSD is very silent. You can't hear the PS3 working and huffing like it did with the mechanical hard driveIf you do decide to fire up your PS3 again (which I think you should, PS3 is very durable and lasts forever if you take care of it, at least the Slim-model) and your controllers are toast I recommend Retro Fighters defender Bluetooth edition. Just ordered one because I don't like the Dualshock 3. It's a bit pricey, 50 bucks, but it's more modern and durable, with six axis and Bluetooth connection.

On my PS5, I've set my kid up with a child account. She's 11.
It's blocking her from playing a lot of games- Tekken 8 demo for eg.
I'm trying to work out how to remove these restrictions but under the age of profile it won't let me change them.
Is there really no way to change these apart from deleting the profile and starting again - thus losing any purchases made on her account in the process???
This seems utterly ridiculous.
So no, it goes off your age when you first register which you can't change and so to remove the age restrictions I need to set her up with a brand new account and lose the purchases and saves. Never heard anything so ridiculous in all my life!Sole things can't change but maybe you can reduce the limitations? Never got that problem so I can't really help you. I hope that the link will be enough.How do I change my child account to adult on PS5?

I have the physical ps4 version of cyberpunk, and I own a ps5. I put the disc in to play the digital ps5 version, but I still have the ps4 version on the main interface, and the things tries to install the ps4 version every time I put the disc back in.
Is this normal behaviour, can i do something about it. I hate it D:
oh man, thats super annyoing. I got GoW ragnarok for ps4 ultra cheap, so I asume im going to be in the same situation.... for 2 games ill have fucking 4 tiles in the main screen...It's normal, just pause the installation.
Happy Holidays from PS Japan!
SIEJA is best SIE.
PS Studios Japan also finally coming back with ROTR 2 years after GT7.
On a side note; I wish this OT was active as the Era one, probably one of the few good things on that forum.
my PS5 has been running incredibly slow recentlyas in the OS itself just crawling, trying to pull up a game can take forever and I've both cleared the system cache & rebuilt the database but that only proved to be a temporary fix that lasted minutes
has anyone else experienced this? I'm gonna restore it to factory settings next in a hope to fix it (just taking forever to back up screenshots and what not)
Ghost of Tsushima I think but I'm not 100% sure.What is the fox from?
Since starting the topic I have two children and work full time so I don't really have the time to keep upWhy are platform OTs so dead here? I always get jealous looking at ERA having a very active PlayStation OT, while nothing in GAF.
Because its in the Communities section that no one checks, should be moved over to the gaming sideWhy are platform OTs so dead here? I always get jealous looking at ERA having a very active PlayStation OT, while nothing in GAF.
Former PlayStation boss Shuhei Yoshida outlined the internal PlayStation terminology when it comes to "first party", "second party" and "third party exclusive" titles!
• First party: Sony owned IP published by SIE, including Sony IP games developed by external companies.
• Second party: Games funded/ co-funded and published by SIE, but IP is not owned by Sony.
• Third party exclusive: Exclusive titles not published by SIE. PlayStation refer to as "Partner titles"
Some examples:
First party: includes Helldivers 2, Returnal etc.
Second Party: Stellar Blade, Rise of the Ronin, Nioh etc.
Third party exclusive (Partner title): FF16, FF7 Rebirth etc.
I've been thinking about doing the same. Most likely for me I'll just go to a retro store somewhat near me. I was iffy about buying it on amazon or ebay. I'll probably wait until next month though. I might get the snes though instead.Figured this would be the thread to ask (If I'm in the wrong thread let me know)
I'm looking to buy a Playstation 1, preferably the late model smaller system with the rounded edges. Need a memory card. Dualshock. The full plate. Also will be picking up an HDMI converter.
The list of games Im looking to buy:
Parasite Eve
Alundra
Medal of Honor
Wild 9
MDK
Mega Man Legends
Breath of Fire 4
Die Hard Trilogy
Vagrant Story
My questions is where is the best place to get all of this stuff? Amazon seems like a hit or miss. Is Ebay good enough? Is there a site dedicated to retro purchases that are guaranteed in good shape?
I have a a really good retro game shop about 70 miles from me so that's always an option, but I wanted to check with you guys to see if there was anywhere reliable out there online.
Some interesting insights from Shu here on the categorization of 1st party, 2nd party, and 3rd party exclusives:
CCnial you might find these receipts from Shu useful (yeah, I know that you already know, but this time is straight from the horse's mouth).
Bluepoint isn't in a rough spot at all. They mentioned that with the acquisition they moved away from making remasters and remake and evolved instead to become a support team of new games, as they did in God of War Ragnarok. In theory Bluepoint won't do more remasters or remakes.Given the new wave of "graphic remakes" using UE5 over the old engine (NG2 Black, Oblivion, MGS Delta...), a lot of them outsorced to cheapear and external studios, don't you think Bluepoint it's in a rough spot?
They've seen their latest project canceled; their remake work -excelenct, of course- relies on a proprietary engine that couldn't be as versatile as UE5 for this new type of remake... I don't know, I feel like if is Sony is tempted to give this treatment to Bloodborne, Uncharted 1, 2 or 3, for example, for a quick ROI they could start to see BP like a redundant studio as far as they can outsorced this proyects to cheaper studios.
I'm blaming, first of all, to Sony mismanagement. If you buy a specialized studio in porting and making remakes, don't put them to do "original content". You have other studios for that.
This is absurd. And who is remaking Bloodborne for PS6 or wherever? I you buy specializes porting studios like Nixxes, you keep them porting. If you buy a studio specialized in remaking games, you keep them remaking games -not indulging their ambitions on "original content"-. This is bad management.Bluepoint isn't in a rough spot, the opposite. They mentioned that with the acquisition they moved away from making remasters and remake and evolved instead to become a support team of new games, as they did in God of War Ragnarok.

Now, after the failed GoW proyect, is cheaper for Sony to shut Bluepoint down and outsource Bloodborne remake or whatever to Virtuos.
It's both the PS5/PS5 Pro not able to do it because of bandwidth limitations on the HDMI bus. This is actually something the Xbox has over PS5. PS5 Pro didn't even bother this fix this. For reference, same screen off my PS5 ProQuestion for PS5 owners.
My PS5 dash shows that 4K/120hz support drops color depth to YUV420. Is this a limitation on my cable or display, or does PS5 not support 4K/120hz with full RGB.
And is that the same on Pro?
