Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

Euro update is delayed today till tomorrow due to a technical error. Hopefully this doesn't mean the same for the US update.

I bet its the same since nothing has been updated on their blog yet.

Yes but no NBA Live!? The 360 demo was released last week... Though it seems to have surprised even EA so maybe it's a case of MS jumping the gun rather than Sony lagging behind but at this point why not release the PS3 demo?

I'm sure EA still wants Sony to stand by the original date.

How is PAIN, is there a demo for it?

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

Nope. One of the completely ******** things about PSN is that several of the game do NOT come with demos.

I bought it when the price dropped to $5 and I think it's terrible.

[Eton Rifles]

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

CS I enjoy it but it depends if you like games that are basically a joke. You just shoot yourself into the enviornment and try to cause as much destuction as you can. take a look at some pain videos on youtube and see for yourself.

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

I wanted to get Jeopardy, but $15 is a little too much for me to spend on it, I would have got it for $10.

[ravens52bears54]

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

I'm still on the fence with Jeopardy.

As for Pain, I should probably give it more of a chance. The tutorial was just plain frustrating. I could not get past the pasrt where you have to steer your character in midair to hit a traget. No matter how I tried to control it I could not hit teh stupid target. I'm also not a fan of all the microtransactions that this game is all about. The game only came with one 'map' and they expect you to pay $7 or whatever for new ones. Plus they want to charge a $1 for additional characters. Give me a break.

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

Why dont a couple guys split Jeopardy? I thought you can share games on up to 3 consoles?
