I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this..but here goes.

I've recently bought a PS3 and i'm losing my mind just trying to get my credit card to be accepted by PSN. The past two days has been full of failed attempts with PSN locking me out for the day. The Sony's call centre just told me I have to try again in 24 hours and both my credit card companies tell me there is nothing wrong with my accounts. The killer is, the Sony rep told me that there are no Playstation cards available in Canada. This is getting stupid. Anyone else have this issue?

I've read people having problems with case sensitivity (apparently it's very strict)
 
It's $23.95 in Australia... that's almost $10 less than I'll have to pay on XBLA with the exchange rates.

AU$23.95 works out to be US$15.30, so we're actually getting it cheaper than US PSN too.
 
^ Yes.

thanks, for 14.99 i could probably pick it up, pending on how good it is. another question: is the game complete or in the same vein of siren?
 
Wait, so if the Euro version is only 14.99, wouldn't that make the US version $15? They usually correlate with each other don't they?

I wonder if the XBLA version is not up yet because of some pricing fuckup...
 
Quick impression:

Well it's beat'em up you mash on square and triangle until your enemy dies. You unlock new abilities like throws and counters when you find them in the level. The camera has it's problem at times and the game looks like an upscaled Xbox game with alot of aliasing. You can paly the first chapter with a 30 minute time limit and it looks like there are 5 chapter in the full game.

Update:

I am also pretty sure the german version is censored. it has an 18 rating but thee is no blood at all. :lol

The dialog for Rorschach is also very fitting.

Wouldn't recommend it for the price. If it was 8-10 Euros I would get it.

Update 2:

Ok you can finish it in 15 minutes but that's not the whole first chapter.

Update 3:

Oh boy I was just able to make the game freeze the whole system....

lol, thank you for the impressions. i guess i pass this one.

I could go on after getting through. The environments are kinda bland and they repeat ALOT of the assets. I think I saw the same cell block three times in the demo alone. It's really not a good game especially for the price. And yeah german version is defiantely censored, just watched some videos on IGn to confirm it. Ridiculous cinsidering the rating.
 
Getting that Prince of Persia Epilogue, I really enjoyed that game despite it not really feeling like PoP. Any word of extra trophies?

WTF happened to the Lumines Add-on for the HK/JP version.
Jesus, it has been what, 2-3 weeks since the release for the US version?
And Lumines was first released for Japan.

The whole Hong Kong store is like a blind man throwing darts at the other stores, mostly aimed in Japan's direction.

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

Sigh, well I don't have time to play them anyways.

btw, love your avatar!
 
Oh man, if this trophy patch doesn't fix the problem i've had since the accidental trophy patch, i'm gonna be mega pissed.

How do you like waiting 3 minutes everytime you want to see your gamercard thing because you have trophies registered on your system which don't exist on the PSN servers? It's been fantastic.

Everybody talking about that Watchman game hummmm, is it actually good? :O

The general consensus seems to be that at $10 it would have been a ho-hum brawler, but at $20 it's highway robbery. Regardless, I'm looking forward to trying the demo myself this afternoon.
