Playstation Network and PS Plus Discussion

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion - The New Beginning

Not gonna try to link it from my phone, but PS3 gets a dedicated YouTube app today. Probably similar to the one the Vita got. Details on the PS blog.

Must be a firmware upgrade. I wonder if we get anything else.

They seriously need to consider Remote Play expansion soon!

Here you go.

Playing hours of Journey giving you cravings to watch Journey on YouTube? Or maybe DiRT Showdown put you in the mood to watch real-life action sports from the Red Bull channel? Give button mashing a whole new meaning with the new YouTube app for PS3, rolling out later today in North America for free from PlayStation Store.

You might have watched YouTube on PS3 before, but get ready for a whole new world of video and features. We have a completely new experience, designed for the big screen and optimized for the PS3. Here’s what you’ll find:

• Search: Finding the videos you want is easier than ever, with search suggestions and instant video results while you type.
• Your subscribed channels: Sign in to find the latest videos from your YouTube subscriptions, which now also includes official music videos.
• Your phone as a remote: With a quick pairing process, you can control YouTube on PS3 with a smartphone. Find a video on your phone and with a button it’ll play on the big screen. While the video is playing you can control it from the phone, or keep browsing YouTube for the next one.

With today’s Store publish, you’ll find the new app in the PlayStation Store under My Channels. We’ll keep improving the PS3 experience and plan to bring the app to more countries in coming months.

Must be a firmware upgrade. I wonder if we get anything else.

They seriously need to consider Remote Play expansion soon!

I think it's a standalone app like the others. Speaking of which, what we really need is our MLB.tv app for the Vita!

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion - The New Beginning

What would REALLY be nice is if you could pull up YouTube videos on the XMB WHILE playing a game. Great for walkthroughs, tutorials, etc.

I use my vita for that now. It works really well.

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion - The New Beginning

Now that I have an HD PVR, I almost couldn't care less about these features, and selfishly wish they didn't exist to increase the value of my baby.

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion - The New Beginning

Read Dead free for PS Plus users in September. That's awesome. I was just thinking about picking it back up.

I read somewhere someone said it's for EU territories only. Not sure if there's any truth to that or not.

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion - The New Beginning

If so, then I Riot. Granted you can buy it pretty cheap used... but still. I Riot.

Yea the announcement at the Gamescom conference said it was Europe's game of the month.

Other highlights, ps+ is coming to the Vita (no other details given) and online storage is increasing to 1GB.

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion - The New Beginning

online storage is increasing to 1GB.

Thank goodness. I've been full for a while now.

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion - The New Beginning

Thank goodness. I've been full for a while now.

Just yesterday I went through and cleaned up because I was full too.

PlayStation Store Highlights

Our PSN PLAY promotion is coming to an end with one of the most beloved classics of all time: Counter Strike. CS: Global Offensive is available for pre-order for $14.99 or $11.99 for PlayStation Plus members. Those who pre-order receive a static theme, and the more PSN PLAY opportunities you take advantage of, the more credit you’ll receive to use on other items in the PlayStation Store.
Papo & Yo, last week’s PSN PLAY game, is now available on the PlayStation Store. A fantasy adventure game, Papo & Yo has been lauded for its emotional subject matter and puzzle-centric gameplay. If you’re curious about this indie darling, there’s a free demo available, so you can try before you buy.
The PlayStation Plus Instant Game Collection is getting a boost this week with both Outland and BloodRayne: Betrayal joining the lineup. Outland, the critically acclaimed PSN title from Ubisoft, is a 2D platformer with stunning visuals. The bloody side-scroller BloodRayne: Betrayal was a part of last year’s PSN PLAY catalogue, but if you missed out on snagging it then, you have a second chance. In addition to the free games, Plus members also get a 20% discount on Papo & Yo along with a full game trial of CSI: Fatal Conspiracy.
Finally, if you’re eager for the football season to begin you can try out EA’s Madden NFL 13 before it hits stores on August 28th and if you like it, you can also pre-order it.

Anyone have experience/opinions on Outland or Blood Rayne?

I played the Outland demo a few months back and it didn't strike me as anything special.

Outland is good, I'd agree with you though it's nothing that will blow you away.

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion - The New Beginning

Ooh, Outland and Bloodrayne FREE? I'll download those for sure. I wanted to play both, just not for money
