  • could we get an updated version of the PlayStation Network Theme?

    i kno its at version 2.1 or whatever but could you guys update it to support the new icons that were added with firmware 2.50

    thanks

  • We should start walking on all 4’s,so that companies like namco and capcon don’t have to bother asking us to bend over every week.

  • Still nothing in there. What’s up with 5 bucks for Yoda?! That’s ridiculous considering he’s not that good to play with anyways.

    Was hoping for Soldner-X. Damnnnnnnn

    A LBP demo would have been cool for you guys that didn’t get it yet. IT’S AMAZING!!!! My fav game of the year so far.

  • @clupula668
    I think its important enough to get rid of features that you can’t even use while playing a game. Especially features that the competitor doesn’t have, hence giving no incentive to make them accessible while playing a game.

  • Nice update, thanks guys!

    Although I have to admit, I’m sitting here for the second week in a row wondering where Soldner-X is…

  • we need more avatars.
    i keep seeing the same avatars over and over and over and oveer again on different people.

  • No Smackdown demo? Boo. The UK one doesn’t work on my TV and there’s no Gamestop here.

  • ARRRGH!

    It hurts even more when Prince of Persia HS remake finally makes it’s way to teh PS3 and mine is out of service due to firmware update 2.5 bricking it..

    ****
    ***
    **
    *

    PLEASE!! Jeff! Eric Lempel! heck, even GRACE!

    can someone official PLEASE acknowledge the issues with firmware 2.5 users are experiencing??

    after FINALLY deciding to update to firmware 2.5 because no one official would say anything about any upcoming 2.51 patch to fix the issues- and since i couldn’t access PSN to play online or even the PSstore, and all these great games are coming, i decided to update..

    now my PS3 boots into the XMB wave, but no icons, no cd/dvd/bluray recognition, just the wave bar…..AHHRGH!!

    I was nervous to update my PS3 to v2.5 after my roommate’s PS3 got all messed up and his video is all in black and white and his DNLA server won’t stream stuff anymore from his computer, and games like Burnout Paradise are now all freezing and running really wierd..

    So i went to the Official Playstation Forums, and found TONS and TONS of people are reporting the same problems and others like what happened to me…

    SO PLEASE CAN SOMEONE LET US KNOW ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON???

    I guess it doesn’t matter anymore since i had to send mine in to get fixed, at least i didn’t have to pay the $150!!

    i miss my PS3…and i love expanding the functionalities of our PS3’s through firmware updates, but when they go wrong like they did with 2.4 and 2.41 and 2.42, LET US KNOW!!!!

    this silence trip is very irritating, i’m sure no one official wants to comment on it because they have to admit it is Sony’s fault, and no one wants to do that..

    but that tactic simply leads to people being disillusioned with the brand they loved..

    we’re your customers, and your biggest supporters here on the blog…why ignore us?

    been here since the blog started, never been so frustrated…I love ya Sony, but time to swallow some pride and help us!

    :(

  • @58 I doubt it was the FW update that messed up your PS3. It could have been may issues. If there was a massive screw up as 2.4 had, I think we would have already seen a 2.51.

  • all i see is the yoda DLC… nothing else

  • What happened to Soldner X??

  • Any news on if a PoP: Classic demo will be made available? Something I want to check out but can’t justify dropping $10 on it this time of year without trying it out… same with puzzle quest and geon.

    Pretty good update though… hope to see more game demos as the releases start piling up … up the the game devs though I would assume.

    Thanks :)

  • uhhhhhhhhhhhh how come none of this stuff is on the PSN store?

  • Every week the PS store update gets later and later. There’s nothing on the store!!!

  • Thanks guys! I love you!

    By the way, it’s not Sony’s fault (I don’t think) that Yoda is $5. I agree, he should be like 1.99. But it’s Namco Bandai that charges so much.

  • Is this a blog-only update? or are we going to be able to download this stuff onto our ps3s?

  • Hey I thought it was pretty good… But I’m saving my money for upcoming games on (blueray) So maybe I’ll buy something next week….fix those PSP 3000 so I can buy one!!!

  • It will be there eventually. For now you should use the “View All by Title” category to find stuff. Just more signs of a pitiful helpless giant.

  • Hmm, I was thinking Prince of Persia. I await some feedback before I get it. Overall, nice update.

  • Update the store M-F like you do with the video store and also update the store early in the morning so people can download things and have the PS3 in shut down after download.

  • Store is updated.

  • Why hasn’t the PSN store update yet??? i want to download prince of persia and all the civ rev packs.

  • @59

    before update=fine

    after update=boots 2 wave only

    this will be my 2nd PS3 now, after 2.4 messed it up right at MGS4 launch time..

  • *2nd replacement PS3 i meant to say

  • Keep the Buzz add on packs coming. Back to the R2 Beta.

  • @69
    I had it in the other console and if you like the old 2d POP then you will like this. New colors, traps and enemies. It’s really cool and good.

  • Valkyria Chronicles demo makes this an instant 5 for me. Thanks. :D

  • No more nickel and diming (literally) of DLC please… I can understand song packs and singles for music games, but game difficulty modes? C’mon…

  • I will be downloading that Lego Batman demo for sure. Thanks for adding it to the PSN store. I also may look into the Buzz Quiz Packs for the Horror Movies.

    Also with the Canadian Dollar constantly dropping when will you be bringing PSN Cards to Canada? You said they would be coming to more stores in October but yet there is none in Canada.

  • I’m still downloading the R2 beta… that file is huge…

  • Uhhh… I bought a Mega Man 9 theme and it won’t let me download it.

    “An error occurred during the download operation. (80029567)”

    Yeah you might want to fix this because I just paid $2 for it so I’m pretty angry right now.

  • @ nmc75

    Take that problem up to the game companies, not Sony. Its not like Sony is the one who set the price.

  • Grace, can you guys make it a requirement for all games released on PSN have a demo? It’s frustrating that some games have em and others don’t.

  • Sorry about the error your getting. I would suggest trying this site to get better themes for free:

    http://www.ps3-themes.com/

  • @cmargary

    Thanks for the feedback. I did play the first 2 original PoP games way back. I was just wondering if this was a worthy enough recreation. :)

  • @85:

    Please stop being a smart***.

    I know you’re all upset because you NEED MULTIPLE DATA ALBUM EDIT, but please…

  • Nothing of interest outside Valkyria which I already have.

  • So… No PSP update? Not even a wallpaper?

    What exactly is the point of the PSP Store if it never gets updated?

  • Thanks Grace.

    Boy, Sony is getting more and more of my money each week, but keep it up..I love getting all this new stuff.

  • Seriously, where is the PSP love? If you’re gonna limit the store updates to once a week, I’d like to see new stuff. Like PS-One games, themes, exclusive downloadable games, and demos. Don’t give us the store, then forget about us.

  • BTW….the store is now updated (it is for me at least)…I see all the new stuff there.

  • @SantanaClaus89
    Have you tried this site:

    http://www.ps3-themes.com/

    I use personally use the theme found here:

    http://www.ps3-themes.com/downloads/1499-MGS2.p3t

    Since you use premium themes, would you mind letting me know if any of those themes change the key tones?

  • @38:
    Really? Because there’s this other box sitting on my A/V rack, and I’ve never found myself waiting around for content to arrive on it. I start it up, queue the downloads, leave for the office, and when I come home everything is ready to play. Oh, and there’s no waiting around for a “weekly update”… stuff just comes out when it’s ready.

    So why is it that only Sony has trouble with this?

  • I’ve never bought a premium theme before this one. I just got this because I love the classic Mega Man series.

    I obviously can’t tell you if it changes the key tones or not, because I can’t download it.

  • @SantanaClaus89
    No worries then. Not trying to make fun of you at all. Just trying to put out an alternative. Do with it what you wish.

  • I can’t wait for Home to arrive. Can you imagine all the people on there who will voice there disappointment at the performance of this helpless, pitiful giant?

  • HI Grace. Is it true that next year every PSP title will be available on the store?

  • Random thought.

    I would still love to see FFVII on the PSN for PSP. Thanks. :)

  • nothin for me this week. not sure if i should put some money in my PS wallet or buy a daulshock3. hmmm i kinda wanna buy linger in shadows and maybe save some money on thier for whenever Resistance 2 releases some DLC or maybe LBP dlc
