Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

I really liked the Super Stardust HD demo, but I don't think I can play that thing for that long.

That was my first PSN purchase as if I can remember. SSHD was the first ever PSN release with trophies.

You can also play your own music off the HDD which is [inter]stellar. The game deserves its praise, but I don't want to buy it just for the trophies or a few hours of play. If my sister was more into games like this, I know we could play it for hours on end.

It wasn't my first purchase, but I did buy it when the trophies came out (they were patched in later, I believe.

I never even heard of that free game for PSN+ members, anyone play it yet?

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

Another week...another *sigh* on the update. Oh well...maybe next week.

If you've got Rock Band, then this was an awesome update.

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

what is the difference between a dynamic and a premium theme?

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

what is the difference between a dynamic and a premium theme?

I think;

Dynamic has movement in the background and Premuim is just like a regular theme but with a price tag.

I have the HVB dynamic theme and it shows a ball hit some pins and the clock they show is in real time.

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

Not too happy with the PS+ automatic downloading.

I thought it would auto-download game updates of games installed on my HDD without me having to play them to get the update.

Instead it downloaded the Modnation Racers demo... I already own the game and have it installed on my PS3 and have trophies...

It also download the Heavy Rain demo... I also own the game, have installed, have it finished with most trophies and also had the demo still on my HDD.

Pretty annoying 3 gigs or so on wasted data.

Thanks for the heads up. I was under the same impression (updating games installed automatically), and that was the #1 selling point for me on PS+. Glad I didn't waste the money yet.

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

SCEE is asking PSN users what games they would like to see in PSN +

http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2010/07/13/let-us-know-what-games-you-want-to-see-in-playstation-plus/

Does anyone know if they will be doing this in the SCEA store?

I would suggest they release the newest content much earlier then PSN. Also make current mini games available for free instead of old stuff.

If they ever asked for which feature I would say 1 - x-game chat. Its such a hassle trying to coordinate everyone to play something together without the use of cell phones.

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

I will have to check out the Gladiator demo. Nothing from Rockband DLC this week. I wonder how many people actually purchase the NCAA power pack.
