?! wow that sucks. Maybe Sony Customer Service can help?

I'm pretty sure if I format my drive and just bring as many savegames which aren't locked over as possible, that the problem will go away. I'm not willing to do that, however. I guess if sony eliminates the syncing process in a future update, it will turn into a non-issue, but that's wishful thinking.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Wow, I'm very glad I didn't blindly decide to purchase Watchmen. Especially for the price, I will not be buying this one...

I didn't mind paying the amount I did for Quest for Booty - it was a decent length and continued a great storyline , but this is definitely highway robbery/cash-in at it's finest (or worst :lol)

 

[°°ToMmY°°]

just bought sf4 costumes pack (both), lumines add-on, watchmen and something else i don't remeber.

 

[krae_man]

I was getting my hopes up for Peggle showing up today but then I noticed the 3 week gap bewteen Bejeweled 2 and Zuma.

Guess I'll have to wait till next week.

Hopefully my HK PSN card will show up in the mail soon so I can buy me some Hot Shots Putter Golf.

The Watchmen demo, I thought, was okay. Not worth a purchase though.

Peggle PSN is at least a few months off supposedly. Heavy Weapon and Feeding Frenzy are coming first, and XBLA has the first crack at Peggle.

 

[krae_man]

Of course Peggle comes last

 

[Ashour]

Too bad they delayed the UT3 pack 'til next week, I wanted to start collecting some trophies this weekend

Trophy patch is up apparently. Just the rest of the stuff isnt.

I thought only for europa?

 

[YoungHav]

Where are Fat Princess and Bomberman Ultra? VaporwarE?

 

[kuYuri]

Where are Fat Princess and Bomberman Ultra? VaporwarE?

Definitely not. PS Nation podcast had an interview with Hudson recently, they still couldn't provide a firm date, but it should be within next month or so.

Not sure about Fat Princess, but considering media came out for it not too long ago, it's definitely not vaporware.

 

[Dante]

Hello all – We’re happy to announce the official release date and more details about the SCENE Expansion pack for Metal Gear Online. SCENE will be available separately for $9.99 and offered as a bundle with the second MGO Expansion pack, MEME, for $14.99 as well as all three expansion packs – GENE, MEME, and SCENE, for just $17.99 on March 17, 2009 via Metal Gear Online’s in-game shop and Konami’s shop. All will be available for purchase using the PlayStation Network Wallet (as well as PayPal, in addition to the previous payment methods). The pre-order period for SCENE starts on March 10, 2009, and will run up until release date. And remember, all players who pre-order SCENE will receive the special “cardboard man” head gear for free!

I think this is a missed opportunity to get people back into this game, I can't see further splintering a small online community this game already has :/

 

[PowderedToast]

Wanted is bad.

 

[brandonh83]

Wanted is bad.

Bet it's not as bad as the movie. Then again, I suppose it could be, if the developers tried hard enough.

 

[Darkpen]

I think this is a missed opportunity to get people back into this game, I can't see further splintering a small online community this game already has :/

*reads the quote*

fucking facepalm, konami Totally missed opportunity. What they should've done is make Scene (that's the first one, right?) completely free, so that EVERYONE has access to the survival mode, then bundle the other two. Complete fucking fail.

 

[Dante]

I think $20 Watchmen is equally as dumb. Do they not realize what they are up against with most of the community knee deep in KZ2?

 

[yurinka]

Wow, Capcom finally delivered on a trophy promise.
Now, BCR and SF2HD are left... won't be holding my breath for those. :\

They promised trophies for BCR, but for SF2HD only promised a patch to fix bugs. They never promised Trophies for SF2HD.

The Bionic Commando guys (Grin) are focused in finishing / polishing the 3D game, and the SF2HD guys (Backbone) now can work in the patch (bugfixing, not sure if adds additional stuff like Trophies) since they finally fixed the bugs reported by SCEE.

 

[Calibur]

Don't bother downloading Wanted: Weapons of Fate, its bad...really bad!!

 

[Rolf NB]

Yeah, Wanted looks like an all-around shittier version of Uncharted. I can't believe how limited it is. I haven't managed to find any melee, grenades or different weapons. It's just the dual pistols all the way. That can't be right. Plus the cover system is soooo clunky, and it feels repetitive to the point of boredom even within the span of the demo. It's just not afw at all.

Watchmen not quite as bad. I'm a sucker for Noir York. Not enough of a sucker to buy this though.

 

[dallow_bg]

oh, fantastic! It doesn't override the old tainted trophies... I've never regretted buying a game so much.

Strange, I think a guy on my other forum said it was fixed for him, as he had the Plat for AoB for the longest time now and could never sync.

 

[Returners]

Don't know if its posted,

Qore isn't coming today:

Hey everyone! Episode 10 of Qore will be out next Thursday, the 12th! Look for it in your download queue or on PSN then.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Don't know if its posted,

Qore isn't coming today:

As of late it seems like they've moved Qore from the first Thursday of the month to the second.

Actually Gene was the first DLC, Scene is the DLC with Raiden and Vamp. Btw, at what time does the monkey press the upload button, I want my Prince of Persia Epilogue.

 

[neojubei]

Don't bother downloading Wanted: Weapons of Fate, its bad...really bad!!

I agree and that watchmen demo was quite horrible. What the heck was David Ellis on when he was talking about the game in the listenup podcast.

 

[Returners]

Actually Gene was the first DLC, Scene is the DLC with Raiden and Vamp. Btw, at what time does the monkey press the upload button, I want my Prince of Persia Epilogue.

The official time is 5pm EST.

Yeah don't count on it. When it happens it happens.

[SelfCon]

The Wanted demo reminds me so much of the Bourne game, but 10 times worse. What the hell took them so long with this game? I would've expected something that looks as rushed as this to have been released when the movie came out.

Plays and looks like utter shit.

/rant

 

[Crisis]

Buying Liberation. Finally a PSP game.

 

[Kagari]

Wanted demo is just terrible, ugh.

 

[Shadow780]

Dan's alt. costume is sooo mine...

 

[chubigans]

Thirteen bucks for Toy Cars. Ahahaha. Ahahahahahah.

No.

 

[Doel]

Is the PoP DLC worth it?

Same question for Burnout DLC.

 

[rainking187]

So we don't get the Legends of Wrestlemania demo in the US?

 

[Dante]

Liberation PSP? Nice!

 

[DuckRacer]

Thirteen bucks for Toy Cars. Ahahaha. Ahahahahahah.

No.

What's even more hilarious is that it's 50¢ more than the same pack on XBLA.

 

[paparazzo]

Same question for Burnout DLC.

That's for you to decide. The toy cars are merely smaller versions of the same cars already in the game. I think someone said that the other cars become smaller, too, when you start an event. It would have been nice if Criterion gave us some kind of timed key so we could determine if any of the cars are purchase worthy.

 

[Crisis]

Is the PoP DLC worth it?

Same question for Burnout DLC.

If you liked PoP that DLC is almost definitely worth it. The Burnout DLC seems .... Overpriced.

 

[Goldrusher]

What's even more hilarious is that it's 50¢ more than the same pack on XBLA.

More interesting is the $1.99 bike, which is the same price as all the cars.
It's €2,99 in Europe, where cars cost €1,99.

 

[Crisis]

It's interesting that Sony is selling Killzone Liberation PSP for $16. That's a dollar more than the used cost of the game from Gamestop.

 

[lupinko]

I love Criterion and all, but $13 for toy cars?

I'll wait for a price drop or something.

Though I will admit I did buy the themed cars and the Party Pack previously.

 

[AranhaHunter]

Besides Liberation, this was a horrible update.

 

[dralla]

what happened to the titan pack for UT3?

 

[Ninja Kn1ght]

what happened to the titan pack for UT3?

It was delayed by certification issues. It'll be out on the 19th.

 

[overthehill99]

It's interesting that Sony is selling Killzone Liberation PSP for $16. That's a dollar more than the used cost of the game from Gamestop.

You get faster load times, quieter system, and less use of the battery all for $1 more. Then again you do lose a physical case and manual, which you might not get from Gamestop.

 

[Guy LeDouche]

they can't make KZ:L work on PS3?


I've been waiting for years to buy a PSP because they keep making better ones (still waiting, might wait for PSP2 at this point). Why can't they put PSP stuff on PS3? At least it'd be more money for PSP software.

Additionally, why isn't every game on PSP available on PSN?

And where's SCEA with PS1 games?

What the hell are they doing over there?

/PSN rant

 

[TheMissingLink]

How's the Mariners theme, 'fellas?

 

[dk_]

Downloaded the demos, one Burnout Paradise toy car and Killzone Liberation.

Played through the first level of Killzone and it's quite fun. A steal for 12€! :lol

[Flunkie]

All you guys go buy Killzone: Liberation! I replayed the game a couple weeks ago in preparation for Killzone 2, and it's still one of the greatest PSP games out there. Do it.

Downloading all the demos that came out today, but not really looking forward to them from what I hear. UT3 pack might be nice next week.. If I like the free weekend on the PC, I might pick UT3 up for the PS3.
