Why is Sony so stingy with the avatars?

They should have hundreds of them and allow user customizable ones like Little Big Planet does.

because they can never ever win, never ever :lol

 

[McBacon]

Oh heck, where has my EG Sackboy gone?

Seriously. I can't find him in my collection of dudes

Edit: Ah, had to go online to download the patch

Awesome I was on the fence about bowling!

Are you in US? I'll trade with you if it's possible.

What are the rules about game trading?

There's a whole official trading thread.

 

[Speevy]

Btw Astro Tripper is AWESOME. I've enjoyed it more than Super Stardust HD or Everyday Shooter.

 

[Returners]

you sir, have no life. WTF ? over 700 trophies? Are you fucking kidding me How is that even possible.

I do what I can

 

[Speevy]

I salute the trophy hoarders. If I ever bought retail games, I might have more.

 

[kassatsu]

PS One games wah....

 

[lupinko]

Oh right, this is the second week of (free) RGG3 dlc, two new item packs for Premium Adventure (i.e. New Game+) and 2-player Answer x Answer and Bowling.

 

[krae_man]

I need to re-sync my trophies:

The world Deserves to know I'm currently playing Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazzard:lol

somebody please... Blast Factor trophy patch for PAL territories... where ? when ?

I wish they'd release Buster Brothers Collection, love those games.

Sweet

 

[TheMissingLink]

Check it ouuuuut, ooooh yeaaaaah!

Oh wait.

SCEA is behind the curve on everything. Now I remember, whoops.

AND ALSO: how. fucking. hard. can it be. to create avatars? 50x50 icons. Give me THREE HOURS and I will double your current selection, SCEA.

 

[gregor7777]

There's a whole official trading thread.

Posted a few times in it...but the OP doesn't have much in the way of what exactly is allowed and why. Also, which games work and which don't.

EDIT: so can someone clear up my understanding of the rules:

• You can only trade with up to 5 PS3's total, regardless of what games they get from you
• The games themselves also have a limit of 5 shares a piece? Why would this matter if you can only trade with 5 PS3's total?

 

[Shard]

That's fucking bizarre. We thought the game was in development hell. It was meant to come out Septemberish:

http://www.gamerbytes.com/2008/08/sierra_online_announce_red_bar.php

And like Zombie Wranglers just never showed up when it was announced for release. This means there's still a chance for Assault Heroes, Switchball and the other on ESRB may finally make it out!

Not only that but the blog post was done by Scott Gordon of Sierra Online, which means it apparently isn't as dead as previously reported on, also I feel bad for PSN users since Red Baron Arcade isn't too good of a game.

 

[Roxas]

Red Baron doesnt havent trophies either so its obviously just been sitting around the office for a few months.

 

[Shard]

Yes, I believe it was finished and ready to go like last fall when it was supposed to be released, we all thought the game was dead.

Also, this game was released on the PC last year, you can see the aggregate here.

It seems as of now everything works except Warhawk which requires a 24 hour waiting period before playing between different accounts.

Otherwise all high price games and low price games work. Burnout is fine, Tekken, WIpeout HD is fine, Siren is fine and so are all the cheap ones.

Nice, thanks. Do you know about the questions I posted in my edit?

 

[PowderedToast]

I'd like to try the Wheelman demo but I just get an error when I try and download it.

Oh well.

 

[Azrael]

I won't be picking Red Baron up. But I'm glad it's coming out because it means there's hope Switchball and Assault Heroes PSN aren't dead.

 

[Speevy]

Accounts can be shared 5 times, which means activated on 5 systems. You can deactivate an account by logging into it on the system it was activated on, and choosing account management->system activation.

Once you've activated an account on your system, you can use that account on that system indefinitely to download games.

Games aren't shared, accounts are.

 

[AndyD]

Nice, thanks. Do you know about the questions I posted in my edit?

Each account can be activated on 5 PS3s only. Then each game on that account is obviously playable on those 5 PS3s only (as games require an active owner account on the system).

A game can be re-downloaded an infinite amount of times.

There is no way to share Account A game 1 with a group of 5 and Account A game 2 with a different group. Since sharing is revolving around the Account 1 not the game 1-1000. So you would need to buy game 2 on Account 2.

So my advice is either: Get yourself into a steady sharing group of 5. I have been in 1 since launch and we are doing great. Or set up a separate PSN account to buy a game you will want to share out.

PM me for more details or with more questions.

So is the general etiquette as follows:

1) I give you my main account info
2) you activate it on your PS3 and download games
3) you deactivate the account. Can you still play the game if you deactivated my account on your system? What if you refuse/forget to deactivate? Is that where the account limit comes into place? I would change my password naturally either way, but does it stay activated on your system?

Thanks for any help

EDIT: ah, so I think those questions are answered. Thanks guys.

One more question though, can I play the downloaded games under my main account? I just need to have yours activated on my system, but not necessarily using it to play?

I guess I just need to find some good sharing partners

Yes. Correct. That way you earn trophies on your main.

My PS3 has accounts for me, my wife, my sharing group, and each region's stores and a couple of friends. I have never logged into the sharing group except to download, otherwise I always play on my main.

No Crystal Bearers in the UK. Fuck you SCEE/SE.

Hopefully it'll be on the US Store tonight...

This is irony right?

I downloaded the demo off the Japanese store and thought it was terrible. If you want another tower defense game I would just wait for Comet Crash because it looks like a much better game and has competitive and co-op multiplayer modes.

 

[Xater]

Wheelman is actually more fun than I would have expected it to be but it seems to be really unpolished.

 

[Katana_Strikes]

I really liked it actually. And very disappointed in it's non appearance. Hopefully SCEA can redeem this.

Looking forward to Comet Crash as well though. TD FTW!

 

[British Monsoon]

somebody please... Blast Factor trophy patch for PAL territories... where ? when ?

No idea, i've contacted the developers who told me that SCEE recieved the patch at the same time as SCEA (last December) but were at a loss as to why it hadn't been released yet - then I futiley attempted to contact SCEE, who couldn't help me in the slightest and instead refered me to the official site and forums which have no information as to the wherabouts of the patch whatsoever. So I guess it's a case of sitting back to wait, the sooner we all forget about the Blast Factor patch, the more of a suprise it'll be when (if) they eventually release it. Suck my nuts SCEE.

 

[Jim]

This is a Square Enix USA/EU thing. They don't even acknowledge that there IS a PSN version.

 

[DMeisterJ]

If anyone wants to give me a HVB voucher, I'd gladly oblige

Anyway, time for DMJs Russian Roulette of whether or not we will get a PS1 game.

Will we?
