The Playstation 3 is IDENTITY THEFT

worth noting that you need double the hard disk space of whatever you are downloading, as it unpacks & installs and only then deletes the original download. hence the 'no storage left' error messages after downloading 6GB of stuff. Sony engineering at its finest.

isn't that like... the laws of physics at their finest?

the unpacking thing IS unusual, compared to the way Xbox/Steam handle it these days

yeh, you can structure the files so stuff downloaded gets deleted during installation, not after. Uncharted 3 is 43.5 GB big, so you need 87GB of free space. seems like they've solved this for PS4 though, and they're touting you can start playing games even during installation. which is just as well cos those are going to be some large-ass downloads.

how is infamous 2? there was a prototype sequel as well right?

"So, we're not talking about when The Last Guardian is coming out, but it is still a game that there's a lot of love for inside PlayStation walls, because everybody sees how emotionally driven that the entire fan base of PlayStation always responds with when we talk about The Last Guardian," Rohde said in an interview on Tuesday. "That's something that's very important to all of us, but we're not announcing any details on it."

sucks

it's gonna get pushed to PS4, isn't it

thx to yesterdays update (xcom/uncharted 3/lbp karting/machinarium) basically my ps3 is going to chow on bandwidth until it catches on fire today while i am at work. btw xcom (at least for me) took FUCKING FOREVER to install.

I couldn't background download anything as of last night at 1:30 AM, it was super annoying

ha yes that was also a problem i was having, which led me to finding out that my ps3 was trying to download uncharted 3 twice.

So with PSN+ a requisite for ps4 online, is everyone going to join PSN+ now on some 6 free months deal, then start buying games for a non existent Vita in case they drop off the list, then oh shit, I just bought a Vita.

Then on the walk home, you realise Kaz Hirai just played you......

otm really but not until the price gets to 200 with a 6 month ps+ booster pack

Hahahaha hahahaha I just opened the ps3 home app for the first time what the fuck is this shitshow

i don't even wanna know

i am glad they made it easier to cancel out of it. i used to always open it instead of life with playstation and have to wait a few minutes to close it.

omg does home still exist, it must be even more like purgatory now

it's gonna get pushed to PS4, isn't it

if this didn't happen like 12-18 mths ago, someone deserves fired

no way that thing was ever making the PS3

Eurogamer: You've been asked this before and you'll be asked this again: what's going on with The Last Guardian? Jack Tretton said it's on hiatus. Has it been cancelled? Please be honest. Our readers want to know.

Jim Ryan: I don't believe it's been cancelled. Had it been cancelled, some sort of announcement would have been made. I think the watch-word is patience.

Eurogamer: PS4, is that another word?

Jim Ryan: A ha ha ha ha ha!

Eurogamer: It also begins with p!

Jim Ryan: Ha ha! PR: So does PS3.

Eurogamer: Ha ha. Fair enough.

"Ha ha".

Getting increasingly tempted with all this PS+ stuff. Is it totally crazy that it's even making me consider getting a Vita because why not; if I got PS+ anyway I'd be stupid not to get a Vita to take advantage of those 'free' games...

I think we're all in that boat

except for those of us who bought a Vita right away on a total whim

i am not in that boat because i am still a weirdo luddite that doesn't get mobile gaming at any level higher than "shit i can do once a day for 5 minutes forever" simpsons death rattle

I'll bring my Vita to MN next month, you'll think everything about it except for the laughable memory scheme is fantastic

the GBA and DS were legendary systems to me, easily on par with the the consoles of their day

Haven't regretted my Vita once.

I have only regretted it when buying memory cards

haha

I will sell you a vita

my vita, let me sell you it

good point. i should grab 'em

i've got a dumb question - there's a youtube app for ps3 right? for some reason it doesnt show up for me to install but its supposed to be where the hulu and netflix apps are... or did they get rid of it?

its supposed to be in the xmb but it's not there

https://support.us.playstation.com/euf/assets/KCimages/kbid_4650/youtube1.jpg

I think you just go to the store and download it from there, like some of the other apps.

didn't think to check there, thanks

Yay JSR, should i care about BF3 at all? i don't fucking like FPshooters

I think all of us who don't play FPS games should start a Battlefield clan or whatever they call it.

we can use it for chats

been turning around my opinion wrt infamous 2 - now that i have the groove down srt controls, it seems pretty fun! its def a low rent arkham city in a lot of ways, but there seems to be lots of shit to do and its only sometimes a bit samey, less so than prototype for sure. some uh questionable characters going on (the voodoo priestess lady is really really overdone and maybe kinda sorta racisty).

i am totally down with doing a battlefield 3 clan thing. i am not absolutely terrible at FPS, but I am def not gonna be a high level competitor.

I would do this so you all could laugh at how terribad I am

Is there friendly fire in Battlefield? Because I probably shouldn't be behind anyone if that's the case.

I'll also happily join in at shit battlefield. Only ever played 1943 and was awful at it.

should i care about BF3 at all?

It's a very well-made game, but a bit vanilla in terms of how warfare is presented. More of a sim than arcade compared to some other games.

Just went hog wild on this summer sale thing - Scott pilgrim, mortal kombat, ratchet and clank collection, and shadow of the colossus, all for under $20
