For all those having issues with Welcome back “stuff” not d/l or saying add to cart and nothing… etc
PS3 dashboard/ Playstation@Network/ Account Management/ Transaction Management/ Services list/
… SCEA Promotion, select which one your having issues with, make sure it says 1 remaining, if not contact support.
I was able to find the missing 2 games for the PS3 Welcome back there, even though the Welcome back prompt was missing on the PSN.
Your welcome ;)
NO INFAMOUS 2 THEME!?! I have looked and looked but cannot find the infamous 2 dynamic theme. I live in Australia (Europe region), if anyone is able to help me out I would be very grateful, thanks.
time well spent on the wait!
That free Magic The Gathering 2011, is that for the full game or is that the bundle that unlocks all the cards and upgrades them to foil?
Quote from blog above:
“…all coming to you in two publishes: June 3 and June 7.”
So today is the 7th… and no mention of when the “down for maintenance (PSN Store Publish)” will be taking place.
With almost everyone attending E3, can we even expect a store publish today??
If it does happen, what can we expect to see, other than what is listed above??
I don’t get it is this in the US or something cuz we haven’t got discounts on any Motorstorm add ons. and I wish you would make the Killzone 3 steel rain map pack for free again
Deathspank and Shank…. oh me oh my… I know what I shall buy!
Dear Sony,
Thanks for the update. It was nice to have stuff in the store refreshed this past week.
With that being said, I was wondering if you had reviewed the demographics of the PlayStation Plus subscribers? It seems like you don’t know who your clients are based on the games you gave us yesterday (6/7/11).
I’ve been a fan of the service,but I have to say that the game selection is becoming more and more disappointing. I really do hope you start to offer content and services in Plus that we the paying subscribers are actually interested in. Yes, I’m sure there are those out there loving the Lilo & Stitch game, but the fact is that the game was developed for and marketed to the same age group that went to see the movie (young children).
I know you aren’t flawless and you will make mistakes, but with everything that has happened this past spring I have to say I’ve lost some trust and faith in you as a corporation. I want to continue to spend money on the hardware, software, and services that come from your company, but I want to know why I should when it seems so clearly that you aren’t aware of who your customers are.
Welcome, Morgan Haro.
