wtf guys is this a joke or

I think it is a joke, but the hacker community is telling it.

hey sony stop hitting yourself

TBH, PS3 Media Server is a pretty neat little program, I have it on my laptop and it streams and converts p much anything I throw at it to the telly via the PS3. Only drawback for me was our wifi is fucked (long narrow house, lots of brick walls) so it streamed badly so I gave up.

yeah, similar in my house plus i like to put my computer to sleep when it's not being used.

Motorstorm Apocalypse is FUN

cannot sign in todya. ps3 is not a gaming console its a FUCKING JOKE

If Sony can't get this PSN mess sorted out before E3, then it'll overshadow anything they announce there.

Good Lord, they even have a PSN app. Insert joeks here about one's iPhone getting hacked that way.

^^^ presented without further commentary

"we have an announcement: the store will be back RSN"

Will it be obvious how to get our free game or what?

just type in your address, credit card, SSN, mother's maiden name, city of birth and your first pet's name

'The company implemented considerable security enhancements to the network infrastructure' translation: 'we've actually installed some proper security now'

back up

but really the more important thing is Eurogamer's review of El Shaddai. holy CRAP that sounds great.

all i want is BG&E HD

u_u

OK after following that link i want El Shaddai, too

looks like the cover of a 70s sci-fi novel

Hadn't even known about that one, looks cool

PSN Store back up, but no free games yet. hmmm.

what about beyond good and evil HD?

yeah i am pretty excited for bg+ehd and the team ico ones

those won't be out til later I thought? bg&ehd was due out last month

yeah they got pushed back, i'm just bundling my anticipation for the hd reduxes together. bg+e was resched for this past Mon so should have thought it would appear today.

You may have noticed that the content promised as part of the Welcome Back offer is not yet live. It is currently in the final stages of testing and will be available to download very soon; we’ll be sure to let you know when.

bg&eHD hitting the store june 8 -

but i guess immediately for plus users? so, you could sign up for the free plus trial...

"you may have noticed"
yeah el shaddai is very anticipated for me

How much psn stuff is playable on psp? I just want to play Scott Pilgrim...

that one isn't.

Dammit.

I will say, playing emulators on the psp is great( depending on the genre). Handheld Chrono Trigger and Link to the Past is great.

Anybody know if Neutopia is worth it?

haven't played it but I hear it's apocalyptically terrible

it's really hard. not terrible but not great either. try Golden Axe Adventure instead.

i just played the demo for Moon Diver and i think i spent 60% of my playtime screaming MOOOOON DIIIIVAAAHH like Ronnie James Dio
it is not a good game

so the welcome back plan is up and buggy, eh?

"An error has occurred (80710D36)"

"This content cannot be selected at this time"

No shit

YLOD again last night. 3rd time in 2 months. Fucking piece of shit PlayStation.

same system? i hear the self-repair method doesn't last long.

so i already have infamous and wipeout, and dead nation looks like a boring robotron game which i'd hate. so i got the Ratchet and Crank

thanks for 0, Sony

if you had more than one account set up before the network went down then you can download more than two games.
as well as my UK account i had a US account set up so i could snoop on the US store and its let me download two more games. thanks Sony!
(Japanese & Hong Kong stores are still down so haven't tested them yet)

Good tip although I wasn't interested in anything besides LBP and Infamous. (I already have Wipeout+Fury.)

And now that I realize LBP is realllllly not for me (as I had suspected). Stephen Fry plus cute platforming = braindeath

what kills LBP for me is the moving in and out of the screen, it doesn't seem to control properly, feels kinda broken.

ah forgot LBP,yeah got that already too and the second one

And yes the in and out is fricking frustrating, and they didn't change it for the second one either so they must think it works. But you're right it doesn't, and it works by itself leaving you with no control over it.

I still like it a lot though, Infamous and LBP probably the ones I'd go for if I had none already.

yeah,one point they say "don't worry about moving in and out of the screen, it'll happen automatically" and well, it sure didn't feel like it.

i'm also just allergic to the cuteness of it all. when stephen fry said something like "collecting stickers is the height of cool on little big planet!" i was like "ugh!" and dropped the controller instinctively.
