Three levels + breaks at tribal home. I played through it in 15-20min.

Three levels + breaks at tribal home. I played through it in 15-20min.

I got the physical one at gamestop and was wondering if it was over, or what I was supposed to do at one point. Does it actually end and I missed something?

 

[Wollan]

This demo actually lets you save at the end so I guess you can skip the first three levels in the full game.

After saving it goes through some info slides and back to main menu again.

hmm, gotta play through it again then, figure out how in the world this game can be too complicated for me.

It also unlock a unique weapon that you will be able to use also in the full game. You will not be able to unlock it with the full game i mean.

 

[Jtrizzy]

Why can't Patapon be a PSN game? It's begging for it.

So we can't play this demo on the PS3 correct?

 

[TONX]

Correct.

It's a PSP game. You can't play PSP games on a PS3. period.

This is exactly why they don't put actual PSP games and demos on the PS3 PS Store.

 

[Goldrusher]

eh? There's store.playstation.com and the PS Store on the PS3, and it uses the same login. They just leave the PSP specific items on the PC Store, and the PS3 specific ones on the PS3 store. It's not that hard to deal with.

Holy shit. You're right.

I thought the PC store memorised your "country choice" and it's pretty much impossible - have to delete cookies and such - to switch from a European to the American store or back for example.
However, as it turns out, you only need to login with the e-mail/pass from your PS3 account and it automatically sends you to the correct store.

Wonderful. Not hard at all.

The first part is very true, but the second part isn't - they have put PSP games and demos on the PS3 PS Store. I downloaded the Ape Quest demo a few weeks ago and it's sitting on my PS3 waiting to be transferred to my PSP.

I think I was also able to download Beats (which I purchased via the PC Store) from my download history and keep it on my PS3 for re-installing.

One thing to note though is that if you download demos off the PC PS Store, it will show up in your download list on the PS3.

I think they did for Patapon in Japan. But yeah, I get the point about why they have a dedicated PC store for that.


Hopefully when the PSP emulator comes out... ;P

Yep.. you can re-download via the PS3, which is a nice touch. As a general rule, they definitely try not to mix them. They have on occasion though as mentioned.

I can see them getting some sort of PSP emu one day, but 272p games blown up to 1080p is going to be a bit underwhelming.

It really depends on the emulator. If it upscales the actual resolution of games... just look at the official "HD" images of GOW:COO for example.

Also, dont forget what PS1 emulators did on PC to PS1 games

Yeah Compared to what PS1 emulation does on PS3....

[dsmoke1986]

MLB 08'!!! WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

 

[Metalmurphy]

Is the HotShotsGolf demo on the UK the same as the Japanese one?

I don't want to be an ass, but read the thread. It's only 2 pages long.

 

[Kweh]

Holy shit, this downloading to your PSP via PC from the store is pretty cool. Never really done it before.

 

[btutterrow]

I think it is interesting that the PSN PC store in the UK lists nine of the top ten downloaded items as purchaseable products (PSP Games, PSOne Games, and addons) while all of the top ten in the US store is freebies (demos, wallpaper, themes).

Americans are cheapskates! :lol

 

[M3wThr33]

Dammit. I brought my PSP to work today to connect when the USA store goes up, but I can't connect to my PS3. (It's worked before)

I'll see what's up when I get home.
(I'm guessing because I unplugged it and plugged it back in, but didn't power it on since then, and that's needed for Wake-on-Lan)

 

[Core407]

The MLB08 demo is the best possible thing that could possibly come out on PSN.

 

[Metalmurphy]

You took too long to be an ass. I downloaded it in the mean time.


They ruined the game as a feared, soundtrack ain't as good, the voice acting is the worst part however... meh... I'll either import it or not buy it at all.

 

[InterMoniker]

Wow the PC store is amazing I just singed in with my euro account (EuroBloke) lol downloaded the manager it asked me to connect my psp then it downloads straight to the psp! cool

[sk3tch]

So Patapon will be up later tonight (around 6PM ET)? The standard update time? I'm on store.playstation.com and it's not up, yet...so I'm hoping I'm not blind and it will be later.

 

[Wollan]

tanod, I have a suggestion. Just a notifier in the op saying:

The PlayStation Store is available in two locations:
• via the PS3: This is for PS3 games (+PSOne)
• via the PC browser: http://store.playstation.com This is for PSP games (+PSOne)

PSP games are now available via the PS3 as well.

 

[Tiduz]

Now to find out how to get patapon on my psp, since im euro i dunno if i can access the PSP store on my pc :S

edit:

PSP games are now available via the PS3 as well.

nevermind :lol

 

[Wollan]

PSP games are now available via the PS3 as well.

Only for redownload.
There have been one or two exceptions but that's not the rule.

Edit: Or from a specific folder perhaps?

You could still download it on the PC Store if you wanted. You use the same PSN login as the PS3 so you just had to delete the cookies and login with ur US account.

No, they're listed on the store and you can buy them there as well. At least on the Euro store.

 

[SnakeXs]

Ok, I've gotta get hoppin' on upgrading my OEwhatever PSPhat stat. Patapon demo, here we come.

 

[Dark Octave]

I love the way this game looks. I don't even know what it is.

 

[Wollan]

I can't find anything to be honest.
Are you thinking of PSOne games?

 

[Metalmurphy]

No. PSP games, and I was mistaken, it's not the Euro store, it's the US Store. Go to the 3rd page of the main menu, there's a 'PSP Games' folder.

*edit* There's a 'PSP Games' folder on the 'Games' tab as well.

 

[monkeylite]

Played the Patapon demo for 15 minutes. Loving it. Will definitely purchase the game now.

 

[Vashu]

Tiduz, you can connect your PSP to your PC right? The demo is on the Euro PC Store too now, so do it!

Oh, and Tanod. The Guitar Hero Pack is 5.49 Euro I believe. Not sure, will update when home.

PS: Patapon is AWESOME!

 

[Firewire]

Hey guys I just purchased a PSP Daxter back minutes ago.

I purchased Wipeout Pulse & I have the Chains of Olympus demo, definitely getting the Patapon demo today.

Anyways can you guys recommend some PSP games or demo's from PSN?

Buy Beats for sure.

Ape Quest is ok, not worth the price. Get the demo tho.

I heard Go!Puzzle was a good deal for the price but i haven't played it yet.

You can buy Wipeout Pure for around $10 on the PSN, but you will have your hands full with Pulse

get the Syphon Filter demo also!

Also is the extra content available for Pulse on PSN, I thought I read about that somewhere?

Thanks allot for the help, I really appreciate it!

Beats is a pretty good value.

 

[xS1TH L0RDx]

beats was one of the major reasons i bought a psp.

Beats is a rhythm game that uses your own MP3s from your memory card. You can also mix songs.

Pulse content is available in the UK store. I think there are 2 packs so far. None in the US stor eto my knowledge.

Awesome thanks!

 

[dallow_bg]

I'm pretty sure PSP are on the PS3 store.
And not just Ape Quest.

 

[Synless]

Please, please, please give me Castlevania: Chronicles this week!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[dankir]

Patapon demo!!!!

So I just use the remote capabilites and I can download it to my PSP? Or do I have download and transfer it via USB?

 

[kaching]

I heard Go!Puzzle was a good deal for the price but i haven't played it yet.

Go! Puzzle isn't a great value for the price, IMO. It's basically the PS3 game scaled down, minus online MP, but it's the same price. So, it should really be offered at a reduced price,relative to the PS3 version. Lack of online also exposes a missed opportunity to allow PS3 version and PSP version owners to play against each other.

 

[I3rand0]

Ok, just so this is clarified, PSP games that are on the PSN Store for PS3 can be downloaded to the PS3 console but cannot actually be played on them, correct?
