SIREN issues on ps3
Last week I downloaded a demo of Naumo (anime fighting) and when I installed it, and ran it, I could not press start button as it requested to start the demo. I thought nothing of it.
This evening I bought chpater one of siren and when I run it, it has three options, one of which is new game but I cannot move the selection or press start. Anyone else had an issue like this? I wonder if my ps3 is broken. I’ve tried other controllers same issue. The controllers work fine for other games, e.g. eden demo, etc. Any thoughts?
^^
Turns out it was the BUZZ quiz usb adaptor in my ps3. Once disconnected, I could then navigate the SIREN menu. I think Sony need some more testing ;) with their peripherals.
SONY, CAN YOU GUYS PLEASE MAKE THAT NEW PSN UPDATE AVAILABLE FOR YOUR CANADIAN PSN USERS.
How about a PSN theme about the PSP for the PS3!
Sounds Good
When will movies and tv shows be available in canada
:)
it was good being informed about movies being available on the ps store, but as a fan of the PSN i am not able to purchase movies or tv shows that i had seen during the press conference on july 15,2008.I am disappointed that i have not been given any update on the ps store and would like to know if i will receive an update soon Thank you, my online ID is ruffneck09.
It seems that anyone in canada has not received a playstation store update yet. if i were the CEO of sony i would get on top of this problem immediately.
Sony, can you guys get this problem resolved.
I sould have bought a xbox 360 instead of my $650 ps3.
Please sony, can’t you guys make a joint north american updating system for PSN.
It always seems like every time theres somthing new on the ps3 or psn always gets released in the states and then canada and Europe get it a year later.
Sony, I think you guys have your priorities all rong.
