Seems like I missed something, I started messing with this today. I did the initial update with the loading bar then it asks you to restart (which I do) now it goes to a screen where it says something about "PS" and has a spinning clock in the bottom right, and its been chillin there for a while. any ideas?

Can you take a picture or something?

The #1 problem most people have is their time is incorrect. You need to make sure it's right, including Daylight Savings settings.

Could someone help me here? I'm trying to get some of the DLC, but when I click on the icon in the store (the one with the + sign) it just sits there. Do I need to reinstall the game or something?

Which account are you using? The real store only works on a Japanese account.

The Myaile shop is the one that works for everybody.

Yeah, of course I'm accessing it with my Japanese account, otherwise the game and add-ons wouldn't be there. Do I need to set the time to Japan time? (I created the account and downloaded the main game when I was in Tokyo).

Btw, what's the myaile store?
 

Zoe

Member
No, you never have to set your system to Japan time to use the game.

The Myaile shop is the second store where you buy stuff with the points you've accumulated.

Thanks for the info.

Actually, what I should be asking is, is there anything under "Mainichi isshou/tsuika aitemu"? in the JP PSN store? Cause it says created/updated 2008/06/26 but it's empty when I click on it. Now that I actually read the description, it says that it has been moved to the store inside the game, so I feel kinda dumb. :)

But I don't remember seeing the store in the game (I've deleted it), so maybe you have to download a newer version of the game?

They used to keep all of the DLC in the actual PSN store, but they took it out after a few months and moved it in-game, so the only thing there is the actual game.

I just downloaded it, it's dead cute! That guide for freebies doesn't seem to be very reliable though, I haven't successfully gotten anything by using it. Although I did come across a PS3 to go in Toro's room. :D

This looks like the greatest thing of all time! Like Animal Crossing news!

Hope Nintendo are taking note...

which mini-game did you buy?

and i wish i knew how to get the shinkawa art, i missed it.
I bought the baseball/soccer pack a summer or so ago.

The art is around the launch of MGS4. They may have been taken out now but should be archived eventually.

This month's cosplay seems interesting...

- rhythm game
- local vs mode
- online ranking
- can play with your own music

Toro's Summer Vacation is coming up soon... last year it started on August 6th, but since they mentioned it during the July update, maybe it will come sooner?

Hey guys, I have a quick question. This is in regards to PSN overall, since I couldn't find a PS3 exclusive thread, figured I may as well quickly toss it in here since the topic (sort of) deals with PSN. So apologies for the slight digression off of the thread topic : /

I'm currently in the process of setting up a PSN account, but I'm having a problem when I reach the stage where I need to choose a PSN ID, or my "gamertag". After every single thing I enter, I get the error "The online ID you entered cannot be used. Please choose another online ID."

I've been at this for nearly 20 minutes trying to find a damn ID that works, but even when I started typing in random shit like djhgfjhdsbxx I would get the same error. I refuse to believe someone is using that tag -_-

I read the naming guidelines very carefully and every time I make sure it starts with a letter and is in between 3-13 characters in length, and doesn't match my sign-in ID or password, but I keep getting nowhere. Any idea what the hell I might be doing wrong?

How about quit the entire process and start from scratch?

The Toto Station segments are great Japanese practice. It's too bad there's no archive for the past episodes older than a couple of weeks (or is there?).

ZOMG! Where did you get that DMC4 poster from? (Which episode?) and I assume that Siren poster is from the Siren episode? Must get!! Although I wish SONY will make that available as a real wallpaper for PS3.

The DMC4 poster is now archived around the time of it's release. SIREN poster, (2) others and the fan are included in the one episode, which is fun to watch on it's own regardless.

<-- Nice icon, do you have the original file?

I do. But it's only a screenshot of the CD cover that I took from the official site:

I've been hoping that Sony will release a proper wide-screen wallpaper of it. Unfortunately they haven't got the foresight to do so. :(

And I want that poster for my own real room.

I'm just about out of money on my JP account. Haven't gotten around to buying more yet :(

There will probably be vids of it on Youtube once the update hits.

Are you sure you're not trying to enter your PSN id where you're supposed to enter your e-mail?

I took a wrong turn somewhere, don't know what I was thinking last time.

I just did it again, and it seems to work fine now.

Do it on PC first then log on using your PS3 later on. It's easier to think and type a new name that way. Also, if you need suggestion, I was going through some silly names and these works:

When I enter the store in-game it just says "Loading" on every object and nothing happens. :(

Like I said earlier, it only loads if you're using a JP account.

Hah, yeah. I'm such a retard. How was I supposed to buy stuff without being in my account with Yen anyway, heh. :D

Sorry.

Don't forget, the main cat isn't your avatar.

You're avatar is the one when you go outside and to other people backyards.

Looked something like 41 new items to buy, the free store stuff was pretty crappy (3 new frames, 2 tags for on shirts (I think)). I didn't notice any actual new features of any sort.

So I have this Siren: New Translation item in my Mainichi Issyo house. Its a fan.. the ones that blow wind at your leisure.

Whilst i was vaccuuming I heard a strange noise, and as i looked at the tv I saw that the fan was haunted, floating in mid-air.. the cat was frozen from fright!

Very cool I say!
