I agree. They really need to do something with Trophy/Web site integration + a gamercard. It's like we have been waiting forever for this.

Not sure what this is supposed to mean...

LOL, sorry, I meant Johnny stalking people and then getting banned.

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

Am I the only one having trouble signing on PSN right now? I ran a network test and it said it's my internet, but it's working fine for my computer.

I had a problem at around 11-11:30 EST last night. Same deal; my computer logged onto the internet immediately but couldn't sign onto PSN. Weird. I gave up and went to bed, so don't know how long the problem lasted. Hopefully it works later. The weird thing is that I was able to download the latest update (2.76- haven't been on in a LONG time) so I must have been connected at that time, then I lost it.

Downloadable versions of Bomberman '94, Devil's Crush, and more arrive on Japanese PlayStation Store.

In March, Sony Computer Entertainment America marketing head John Koller said in an interview that the PSP would be playing other systems' games by the end of 2009. The executive's promise has already been kept, as the Japanese PlayStation Store has been updated with a quartet of TurboGrafx-16 games. The console, released in 1989 in North America, was called the PC Engine in Japan.

Because the only thing missing from pinball was satanic overtones.

The initial batch of games includes multiplayer action game Bomberman '94, pinball title Devil's Crush, mascot platformer New Adventure Island, and Mahjong Sengoku. Each of the games is playable on the PlayStation 3 or the PSP and sells for ¥600 ($6.36), roughly the same price charged for TG-16 games on the Wii Virtual Console.

As of press time, Sony had not responded to inquiries about plans for TurboGrafx-16 releases on the North American PlayStation Store.

There is some reason for optimism about the retro system's games heading to international stores, and not just because Sony will want to pad out its offerings for the October 1 launch of the downloadable-only PSP Go. In the aforementioned interview, Koller said that regional disparities between PlayStation Stores will be corrected. At the time, the US and Europe had seen a few dozen games from the original PlayStation offered for download to the PSP, whereas the Japanese online store boasted a catalog hundreds of games deep.

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

I'll probably get Flock while it is on sale, I liked the demo. I was hoping it would drop to $5 though.

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

Nice little sale going on there. Picked up PixelJunk Eden, thinking about Flock and Wipeout.

Did you try the demo for Wipeout yet?

This was one of those games that I've been waiting to see go on sale on PSN. Then the upcoming add-on is looking really good too.

Wipeout is a must buy. One of my favorite games for the PS3. I have been waiting forever for more people to get this on OS.

I tried the demo briefly and it didn't really do it for me, but I may have to check it out again.

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

Got a question for you all: Have you ever payed for a theme?

I haven't, and with all the sites offering free ones I don't see how you could. I actually made my own, which was a nice experience.

I bought an Auburn one. The ones I've found for free or made myself were much better. So I doubt I buy another one.

Nope. I got the Milwaukee Brewers MLB The Show theme, which was free, but I don't even use it anymore because it was too hard to read the text on the background. So I'm just using a standard background now.

Exactly, which is why there's absolutely no reason to pay for one.

I'm currently using the Mac theme.
