The Playstation 3 is IDENTITY THEFT

im guessing that it would be tons better on pc, controls on ps3 seem not so hot

on more important news, woke up to random funds being added to my account and a really poorly worded email saying that someones friend had added funds to my account to buy gta v and apologizing. obv a scam, so i went to the sony entertainment whatever from my computer and changed my password - i am new to ps3 identity theft, is there more shit that i should do? the funds are in my wallet, so it wasn't a straight phishing email.

*note to self: switch to plan B*

ha and in a truly amazing design choice, it appears that i can't blank my credit card info from the pc site, so basically theres nothing else i can do until i get home 9 hours from now. thats comforting.

ouch, that sucks

xps i haven't tried it on PS3 yet, but it's hard for me to imagine playing that game well without the mouse control

jjj jsut dont respond. they cant access any of your information unless you give it to them. changing your password is a good move, but dont worry about anyone breaking into your cc. if you're really really concerned call the bank & block the card for 24h or something

will PS4 let us change our PSN IDs pls, sony, pleeeeeease

'hitlerfan1935' turned out to be premature

hope they sort out the pricing on digital releases next gen too

So no money left my card but now I have an extra $45 in my playstation wallet. I am so confused.

just picked up hotline miami on VITA

so good

^^

sometimes playing it makes me wistful that I can't bring the same level of elaborate planning skills to bear on my actual workload at work as I do when I'm feverishly prioritising which guy I'm going to hit with the golf club first and what I'll do if the fuckin dog wanders in mid-massacre

Just finished Last of Us and it was fucking great. Wasn't really feeling it for the first 3 hours or so, but once I got the mechanics down it totally sucked me in. Couldn't put it down. The last 1/3 or so was particularly beautifully done. I can honestly say I've never given a damn about characters or story in just about any game I've ever played, but I got super invested in this one. "Citizen Kane of video games" is pretty lol, but this really did impress me.

Really great Spielberg-ian moment of respite towards the end. Not sure if it was the emotional weakness from the hangover, but that was so completely unexpected and perfect.

i have bought it and am really looking forward to playing it after i finish GTA5 some time in 2015

Why is it so hard to get psn to add funds to my wallet. I just want to drunkenly spree buy catherine and the directors cut of deadly premonition u fuckers take my money.

do it through the website

EU PS+ games for December:

GRID 2
Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing Transformed
GTA Liberty City Stories
Guacamelee!
Resogun (PS4)
Contrast (PS4)

Pretty great batch.

Locked out of my wallet because I suck at filling out forms. Still downloaded catherine ($13.39) and will pounce on deadly premonition when my lock clears in 24 hours. $25! Why do you not already have this?

honestly? waiting on a 75% off steam sale

Fair

Isn't the PC port supposed to be all sorts of broken? Although maybe this isn't the game to worry about that really :p

Ok the vita only ps+ freebie oddworld:strangers wrath is the first time ever where I have been super jealous of u peeps. Great fucking game.

I rebought that when it popped up on PSN a few moths ago. They aced the PS3 port. Looks and plays great.

Really? I knew nothing about it, tried it for 20 mins, hated it, uninstalled. What am I missing?

Did anyone actually play Puppeteer? It's on sale at BB and I'm tempted to grab it for the backlog.

Ok dudes, when borderlands 2 drops this month on ps+ we have no excuse not to crew up.

I have no mic so don't even start with me

i'm down

I suck but I'm game. No mic here, either. Skype well we play?

maybe this will be the thing that finally gets me to pick up a piece of crap $15 BT headset

Lol okay, I can be down for this

i'm in. no mic though, fuck that. and i may end up just playing the single player forever getting ready

mics do make these games a lot more fun, when you're not playing with jackass randoms
that said i will probably be too lazy to get one in time. maybe we can do a text chat room via skype on our phones or something

yeah i'll warm the bench for this if anyone can't make it, such a fun game

man if thats on ps+ i could f with that too
(do we have some sort of psn username share situation?)

Already played this game enough on 360 that I won't be getting it for PS3, but I will say that playing the single player "to get ready" is sorta pointless, forks. You can play it that way but it doesn't make things easier. There are a few battles where it helped me to do on my own to understand how to do them well, but they were pretty late in the game, and mostly those were just due to my patheticness at shooting games. Ideally you have a team that is all roughly the same level so you're all facing the same challenge level. Overpowered guys take the fun out of the multiplayer game.

Okay then i will play with group if were on same timeframes

how about this - we make MP-only profiles for ILX?

I'm on PSN now. Finally picked up a ps3 today. Add me to yer network, if you please, my login is "DrunkDalek"

While playing GTA5 last night, PS3 crashed and red light started blinking - is this the same thing as YLOD?
In which case, maybe you guys could advise on what to do - buying a new PS3 seems a bit stupid now that a new system is out - OTOH I'd be pretty upset to lose all my PS3 games, esp barely started GTA5 and Skyrim.
So what should I do? Buy a used PS3 on the cheap? Would it then be possible for me to install my old HDD int ot?

I am not sure but I think swapping out a hard drive will automatically trigger a reformat? I'd look that up before trying it.

yeh you can't just swap out the hard drive, this FAQ might be of help
http://community.eu.playstation.com/t5/Support-PS3/FAQ-YLOD/m-p/10675151#U10675151

yeah did some research and it seems it's immpossible to swap HDDs
ok so now the question is simply do I want to buy a cheap PS3 so I can at least play the games I wown or get a PS4 with no games to play?

go for the cheap ps3. this is the best time to buy one, you can probably still get a brand new one w/Arkham Origins/The Last of Us for $200 (the BF bundle) if you look around - even if you own them already, you can sell them easily and cut down your cost

Well shit, my 500gb hard drive appears to be full. If I erase ps+ games I lose them forever right?

What abt stuff I have actually purchased from the ps store /noob

ps+ games can be dl'd anytime that you want as long as you're still a subscriber. ps store buys are always available period.

or until anonymous crashes their servers again at least.

the caveat with the ps+ games: if you didn't dl it when it was available, you can't get it now... so dl EVERYTHING every time, including vita/psp games in case you ever get the system. won't let you dl ps4 content unless you have the system :(
