  • You should add at least 1 PSP and 1 PSOne game every week….

  • Just saw the NPD numbers. Failure is a good word to describe the PS3. It will remain in third place for the rest of the year.

  • Hey Grace,

    There are a lot of people that paid $34.98 for the Qore/Calling All Cars combo. Some people got the combo for only $24.99, which is the price of Qore and a free download of CaCs. Could we get that credit added to our PS Store accounts, or in next issue give us a free download of PAIN, or SSHD, or something with trophies?

    Thanks!

  • @#97 SDkngsht: I’m not sure because I’m not downloading it, especially without a demo… but I know it consists of multiple choice questions, which completely removes the difficulty and, thus, the point.

    Anyone know if the Pain update includes trophies?

  • This why i love thursdays

  • Can we please at least have the release date OF the release date for WipEout HD?? And seriously, how do I get a refund on that garbage I wasted $15 on called Jeopardy?

  • Not what I’d call an exciting week– though I will download Yeony for Pain, just because I’m sick of that default guy it somes with.

    What’s this? ANOTHER Pain update? 325 megs? Seriously? This game gets updated more often than Windows for pete’s sake.

  • i want that motorstorm demo! alas i have to buy Qore for it :( to the people who got it enjoi it!

    peace,
    Lh

  • @105

    Yes it does.

  • Any info on the PJM patch?

  • Thank you thank you thank you for reminding me precisely why I hated this fracking game!!!! (M2) no, I mean absolutely devoid of control with the monster truck, on a winding track how bout a turn for a brother, are you kidding me, thank you for reminding me why I broke @ least 2 controllers b/c of this infuriating game. byebye buy

  • here we go again! wtf, i mean seriously! not a single PSone classic. why does japan get special treatment, we like games too. and the nominees are…NEED FOR SPEED, GEX ENTER THE GECKO, ODDWORLD, COLONY WARS, G-POLICE, BATTLE ARENA TOSHINDEN, WIPEOUT XL, XBOX MUST DIE, ERGHEIZ, GRAND THEFT AUTO, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, R-TYPE DELTA, LEGEND OF DRAGOON, OH LOOK THATS A SONY TITLE, SILENT HILL, PARASITE EVE, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, ETC, ETC, ETC….

  • @103…you’re an idiot. why even come to this blog if you hate the PS3? tard.

    @105…yeah it’s not EXACTLY like the show but typing in answers also makes a game slow as hell and would make online horribly slow moving. i’m cool with the decision to go multiple choice for video gaming purposes.

    just wanted to know if the game was good or fun at all. wheel of fortune i’m definitely getting but jeopardy i’m just not a HUGE fan of so i wanted to see if anyone tried it out first.

    wtf do you mean upcoming? If it’s not up tomorrow I want my money back, ‘1 week after ‘presale’ beta went live, qore goes live’ which was last friday… sony your brown stain is starting to smell

  • thanks ….

    why bahrain don’t have a store?

    please sony do something about this

    i cant get Qore or any thing

    only free demos!

  • Finally, I can get rid of that episode of Qore that’s been sitting on my hard drive. Does anyone else think Qore kinda blows? I mean this demo clearly could have came for free on the PSNetwork anyways, and it will. Is there a way to cancel a year subscription?

  • Here’s some news on WipeoutHD. The floor textures that would react to music played in the background have been removed cause of failing epilepsy tests.

    See what could have been here:
    http://www.video.dpadmagazine.com/2008/09/11/wipeout-hd-previewfinal-build-comparison/

    Isn’t this what disclaimers are for? Aren’t they there to prevent epileptics from suing because they’re too stupid enough to know they shouldn’t engage in activities that aggravate their condition.

  • Jeopardy needs a way to punish quitters. I’ve had 2 people quit on me because I took a whole category in Double Jeopardy.

  • Too many games. Yes, that’s a weird complaint. :lol: I’m still playing through some of my older PSN titles, The Last Guy as well as a couple of other games are on my to play list. PAIN add-on, Jeopardy and then Buzz in the next week or so…too much for me but I want them all. :evil:

  • Where are the latest animated “Dead Space” mini’s???

  • the motorstorm demo is a blast.. the game looks incredible.. the graphic is, i dare say, better than that of gran turismo 5 or any other racer other there.. it’s the power of the cell at work here, folks

  • @117

    No, not really. Episode 3 was rather average but 4 really picked up, although a bit on the short side.. for just $2.99, im alright with it.

    And you’re right about the demo, but Motorstorm is just starting the trend of seeing big games featured on Qore first, even if everyone else gets to play them 2 or 3 weeks later, its a nice plus.

    And then the exclusive themes and what not.. hopefully they will keep including similar things like that..

    But anyway, i’d suggest to contact Sony customer care at (800) 345-7669 to inquire about cancelling your subscription.

  • I really hope that Evolution Studios, the people who make Motorstorm, improve the graphics for the final release because I was looking for a bigger improvement in the graphics than this.

  • Does anybody know how to get a key to be able to export songs from Rock Band 1 to Rock Band 2. The patch was released today and the RB menu says its in the Playstation store, but I can’t find it.

  • I agree with all of you, we need more PS1 titles. What do you think was the reason I left Nintendo in the first place (besides the Dreamcast which was ahead of its time in terms of online and the still beloved 2K and 2KSports). Need 4 Speed 3, Tekken 3, Crash, Soul Edge or Blade, FF7, and others help paved the way for this generation and many to come. Give us more PS1 titles. And an update for our flash player

  • The trophy feature feels empty and uninteresting.

    Cure?

    Metal Gear Solid 4
    Grand Theft Auto 4
    Gran Turismo 5 Prologue
    All Insomniac PS3 games

    … supporting trophies will make it for REAL!

  • Dark Mist please……

  • fifa demo NO SOUND

  • Is Jeopardy online? Because that’s the deal breaker.

  • Is it me or it took about little less than 1 year to get a second STAGE…? Anyway, I don’t think I’ll get it since there is no online support yet. Also, I’m desappointed that trophies are not retrofitted…

    Ah… Where’s SF II HD…. and I’m still hoping for that little PSeye game that would let you scan anything and using it as a battle tank. It would be an awesome and simple party game. I just hope it will see the day…

  • I was obviouly talking about Pain amusement park stage.

  • @Hedrakk
    SF II HD is being beta tested on the 360.

  • Hey, Sony. Fix the PC Store downloader! There is NOTHING that pisses a customer off more than paying to download a game from an online service, and then having the download process BORK repeatedly with an error message!

    “A connection error has occurred. (0x80048b1f)”

    I must have seen that message about 25 times in the last 2 hours!!!

    &$#%#!

  • I thought Sony was working hard to provide cross-game instrument compatibility. And yet, they allow Activision to release a GH Aerosmith demo that does NOT work with the Rock Band guitar – even when the game ITSELF (not the demo) works with the guitar. That’s just going to confuse everybody.

    Work a little harder next time.

  • nice, i’ll be getting the PAIN additions

  • NBA Live 09 hit Xbox 360 2 weeks ago, what is your excuse Sony? We are going on 3 weeks (assuming it’s coming next Thursday) and still no demo?

    Where is NBA Live 09 Demo?

  • Ahhh quit [DELETED]! You guys are all little [DELETED] that can’t deal with getting free or optional content. Remember when you had an NES and NOTHING WAS FREE OR DOWNLOADABLE? MORONS!

  • Hi,
    Sorry to keep putting this out there, but I noticed with the Mirrors Edge theme that the icons for video folders and video files are switched again.

  • nice update, im playing the GH Aerosmith demo right now

  • I wonder how Home is coming along.

  • Good update!

  • I think Sony will never have any special events on Home. Could you imagine how it would look with all the people on there listing their reasonable complaints?

  • Does the Aerosmith demo work with the Rock Band guitar?

  • Do NOT buy Jeopardy if you haven’t yet! I am saving you money here, seriously… read my comment under the Jeopardy post from yesterday. It is comment #164. The game is a complete rip-off!

  • why is the no Qore EP 4 for me? is there a delay for Canadian customers, i am annual subscriber? WTF

  • not nba live 09 demo ? why not ?

  • ahhh… thursdays. the usual decent Store update, the usual babbling idiots (“WHERE IS NBA LIVE 09 DEMO?? WHERE IS NBA LIVE 09 DEMO”), the usual morons who think they know what they’re talking about (the guy who’s complaining about FW 2.43), the usual people complaining about not being able to play 15 year-old games on their $500 cutting-edge console, the usual people getting [DELETED] up about the PS3 weather channel, the occasional xbot fanboy troll (PS3 gets outsold by 10k units in one region last month; 360 domination confirmed), the usual Europeans complaining about an entirely different division of the company…

    Do you guys actually have a life at all?

  • It’s not fun that now the quore members have access to more than us, “normal” gamers that like free website like gametrailers, gamespot and the playstation blog to get our info instead of paying to… well, to get the demos the non-subscribers don’t get…

    The Quore is something like, for M$, the XBL gold with more content, and without quore it’s like having xbox live silver mixed with gold (we can play online for free at least).

    I guess we’ll have to wait another week to be equal to those who purchased quore…

  • @thingg
    Well we can’t have the great life that you do coming on here to complain about complaints. If the authors on the blog were tired of complaints they would fix obvious issues or tell us that these issues can only be fixed from the offices in Japan. A $500 cutting edge console that has less functionality than a $300 razor’s edge console. A console that’s so sophisticated that it can’t play music stored on the hard drive while playing a game even though the dull $300 console was able to do this since day one. Sure the $300 console has terrible reliability that could be fixed with a 65nm gpu. But once that happens I wonder what excuse those who find no fault with the $500 console will use when they see beloved franchises abandon the cutting edge console along with so many potential customers.
