BEST PSN UPDATE EVAR

Which characters did Japan get for free? I thought their first batch or something was no charge.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

Booya... Holiday surprise from Konami.

Press the upload button in Canada dammit!

Metal Gear Solid level thingy is a 1MB patch.

That makes sense. It had to have been in one of the game patches because everybody has to be able to play the levels (via friends) even if they didn't buy the content.

You're right, update 1.07 was 75MB and added Metal Gear related trophies. It was added there and this file is just a key.

[womfalcs3]

You're right, update 1.07 was 75MB and added Metal Gear related trophies. It was added there and this file is just a key.

Hmm. That makes a lot of sense now. In relation to the size of the patch and the size of the add-on download.

I was surprised to see a ~1-MB download.

 

[rexor0717]

METAL GEAR! I purchased that thing so quick...

 

[Ryuartyi]

Wow, nice update. I didn't know that Disgaea 3 was getting add-ons, and I never picked it up. So with these character update, Disgaea 3 is 1 and 2 combined with it now?

[Erekiddo]

Disgaea DLC started today? Argh! Noo!!!

And those prices for the LBP DLC is a bit expensive.. MGS or not. Sheesh! And of course they'll slap a 'limited time only' on it, to push the purchases even more.

 

[yurinka]

It's the best puzzle game since Tetris imo.

This is true.

 

[zoku88]

School girls theme? :?

 

[TheExodu5]

Where's Catan?

 

[Kuroyume]

Btw, wasn't Qore supposed to have a demo of Flock! attached to it? Has any tried it?

 

[Baha]

Has anybody in Canada had their store update yet? My store still isn't updated and the wait is killing me. There's even an MGS4 LBP costume pack link that leads to the LBP section with the old costumes

 

[pancakesandsex]

TORO! OMG TORO!

I bought:

Lumines
Disgaea 3 add ons
High Velocity Bowling
Suikoden

Freebies:
All the HVB stuff
TORO!
Lumines pack

Awesome update.

Oh, the disgaea add on 3-pack comes with a theme too.

 

[aidan]

It's up in Canada.

 

[noirebanana]

Suikoden (and eventually Lumines, too) is mine!

 

[AbortedWalrusFetus]

Woo Suikoden is mine. As are the MGS/LBP addons. I might buy Lumines later this week.

 

[kassatsu]

Pulse is up.

http://www.us.playstation.com/PSN

 

[Baha]

It's up in Canada.

Not yet in Ontario, Crash Commando & PA ep 2 keep taunting me for not buying them last week.

 

[ram]

not bad - looking forward to the european update!

 

[ThirstyFly]

Has anybody in Canada had their store update yet? My store still isn't updated and the wait is killing me. There's even an MGS4 LBP costume pack link that leads to the LBP section with the old costumes

Noooo! Stupid Canadian monkey must be stuck in the snow!

 

[M3wThr33]

TORO!?

IN THE US STORE?!

FUCK YES!

Of course, that's expected. Universal servers, right?

 

[Jim]

Disgaea DLC started today? Argh! Noo!!!

And those prices for the LBP DLC is a bit expensive.. MGS or not. Sheesh! And of course they'll slap a 'limited time only' on it, to push the purchases even more.

LBP MGS is more of an expansion/level pack which also includes new game building tools. And $6 is more than fair for what you get IMO. Costumes are a different story.

Edit: YES, Toro for HSG.

 

[SecretBonusPoint]

I sure am glad all this content is now at the mercy of the SCEE monkey! I wonder when/if they'll allow us access!

 

[xBerserker]

Yay! LBP here I come.

 

[abstract alien]

Wait wait wait...hold the fuck up!!! Suikoden!? As in, Suikoden!!!?????

 

[Ryuartyi]

Wait wait wait...hold the fuck up!!! Suikoden!? As in, Suikoden!!!?????

Yes, Suikoden. Suikoden I.

 

[Dead Prince]

YAY TORO!

and just bought Suikoden! thanks!

 

[jump_button]

Lord of the Rings Conquest will keep me happy for about a hour b4 not have lbp here kick back in and i feel like killing a monkey <_<

 

[Flunkie]

I just got Lumines Supernova, Lumines Holiday Pack Crash Commando, LBP MGS Level Pack and Costume Pack, Pulse for 12/23, Toro HSG DLC, and the LotR Conquest Demo.

 

[DJ Crimson]

Umm WTF, is anybody else having problems installing Lumines Supernova? This shit pops up:

"An error occurred during the install operation.
(80029564)"

 

[AbortedWalrusFetus]

Oh snap. Suikoden is my first PS Classic download. I did not realize that they had a digital version of the manuals with them when you pressed the PS button. I bought Suikoden used years upon years ago and it never had a manual. This is awesome

 

[Dante]

Btw, wasn't Qore supposed to have a demo of Flock! attached to it? Has any tried it?

I did, I hated it, it's a little hard to get the sheep to follow the direction of the light shining down on them.

 

[Durante]

I haven't kept up with this but the Disgaea 3 DLC makes it urgent, and I guess this thread is the best place to ask:
What's currently the best way for a European to buy from the US PSN store? Buying PSN card codes from ebay?

[EDIT]
Inserted the missing "US".

 

[Lindsay]

No, it's not JUST another puzzle game.

How would I know that without a demo? Hey I even searched the store and they don't even have any videos up about the game! Ya you mention the Steam demo but trying a puzzle game (or well any game on my pc) sounds loltastic in a bad way! :lol

 

[Matrix]

Umm WTF, is anybody else having problems installing Lumines Supernova? This shit pops up:

"An error occurred during the install operation.
(80029564)"

Nope,mine just installed fine.

Maybe you should try downloading the file again.

 

[gogogow]

I haven't kept up with this but the Disgaea 3 DLC makes it urgent, and I guess this thread is the best place to ask:

PSN cards are region locked.
You NEED a creditcard/debitcard.

 

[M3wThr33]

How would I know that without a demo? Hey I even searched the store and they don't even have any videos up about the game! Ya you mention the Steam demo but trying a puzzle game (or well any game on my pc) sounds loltastic in a bad way! :lol

Then save your money for a new PC if it can't handle Lumines.

 

[Flunkie]

I did, I hated it, it's a little hard to get the sheep to follow the direction of the light shining down on them.

Yeah, it was really bad.

 

[The Elite]

It's up in Canada.

I don't see it...

 

[gogogow]

How would I know that without a demo? Hey I even searched the store and they don't even have any videos up about the game! Ya you mention the Steam demo but trying a puzzle game (or well any game on my pc) sounds loltastic in a bad way! :lol

You can also download Lumines 2 demo for the PSP.

 

[sprocket]

wow probably the most I have ever bought at on time!

 

[Durante]

PSN cards are region locked.

Yeah, that's why I want to buy a US one for the US store. Or am I missing something here?

You NEED a creditcard/debitcard.

I have one, but it only works on the EU stores.

EDIT: my original post was missing the "US" in front of "PSN Store". Sorry for the confusion.

 

[Lindsay]

Then save your money for a new PC if it can't handle Lumines.

I don't know if it can or can't! But like the thought of playing anything outside of solitaire on a pc isn't a good thought to me! Besides I have to save my money for...

You can also download Lumines 2 demo for the PSP.

A PSP! I don't own of those! If I did I'd have tried the demo and loved or hated the game ages ago Besides I don't see a Lumines 2 demo under the PSP demo part of the store anyway so I wouldn't even know where to obtain it if there indeed is one!
