Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

Can anyone tell me how I can change my PSN Name? I know with the 360 supposedly, it cost you a certain number of MS Points to change it. I have looked and looked on the PSN but can't seem to figure it out. Can someone please point me in the right direction?


Thanks in advance.

There is no way to change your name, you have to create a new account.

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

I have a question about game patches for the PS3. Does it update a game as soon as you turn the system on and put the game in like the 360? The reason I ask is because I have The Show '08 and I can't play it unless I disable my connection (router issue I believe). I would really be po'ed if I couldn't get the patch when it is released.

I'm kinda confused, how do you plan on updating when your internet connection is disabled? For a game to update it needs access to the update online...

I can have it enabled, load the game and make it to the start menu of The Show, if I try to press start the game freezes. My queston is, will I still be able to get a patch under these circumstances?

You should be able to get the patch. You are prompted to download updates for games even before you get to the start screen.

Not if he's not connected to the internet, he won't be.

Well obviously, yeah. The reason he doesn't have the internet connected is that The Show crashes after the start screen when connected to the internet using certain routers. He was asking if the patch prompt would occur before the game crashes (before the start screen).

Gotcha. Yeah, you're right. I misread.

Thanks a lot man, this is just what I wanted to hear. I'm still pretty new to te PS3 and wanted to make sure Sony's procedures weren't different from MS.

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

I read that there were a bad batch of The Show discs, its probably not your connection. I would get the disc replaced.

PSN Next Wave Revealed

• “Echochrome” — This is Sony’s hyped MC Escher-style puzzle game. I previewed it in December and now have a full PS3 build. This thing seems just about complete to me. More to come on it this afternoon. The game will be out in early May.

• “Elefunk” — From the title you might expect a music game starring elephants. I did. Instead, this game requires players to use a set number of struts, squares and other beam supports to build bridges for cute but gravity-prone chasms. If you’re smart enough, you can build a bridge that will support their efforts to traverse deep gaps. The game will be out in May.

• “PixelJunk Monsters: Encore” — This expansion to the tower-defense game “PixelJunk Monsters” adds the island of Toki to the original game’s island of Tiki. Looks like there are at least a dozen new levels, but I need to play more to learn more. Add-on pack will be out in late April.

• “WipEout HD” — Even on standard-definition TVs this game looks like the slickest futuristic racer since “F-Zero GX.” I’ve asked Multiplayer “WipEout” aficionado Patrick Klepek to investigate this game. He’ll have impressions later today. The game will be out in late May or early June.
