kool nice PS+ update currently downloading Sleeping Dogs with sum DLC tht it came with as of right now!!!!! and thnx for fixing those typos :)
@ Bman11753
I had problems installing it. I had to re-download and install it to get it to work, but it did finally.
@ Bman11753
If that doesn’t work try recycling your connection by turning off your PS3 and unplugging your modem and router for 2 minutes, then plug them back in. That will reboot your system.
i have to press download more than 3 times for the thing to actually download man come on fix the store please
I really need someone to reply.
God of War 1 HD and 2 HD were free for playstation plus for yesterdays update.
I bet they were bugs, but what happens to the people that grabbed it and downloaded it?
Like me for example.
I don’t believe it Sleeping Dogs is free. Always wanted to check that game out.
I think it’s pretty lame so many people got GOW 1 and 2 for free and everyone else gets screwed. You should be removing them from those peoples’ download lists. I would have been pissed if it was a game I really wanted.
Smooth, its bugged, download stops, wont continue downloading, it’s cool though, I probably a wasnt gonna play it anyways.
I was finally able to use the online store and it worked great. I just turned on my PS3 and sleeping dogs was ready to go except for the patch. Anyways has anyone else noticed that in the Plus section it doesn’t show any games leaving soon? Also certain games are missing from the collection.
Is the pre-order for Metro: Last Light coming back before May 14th? Is it still Day 1 Digital?
@ smoothboarder540
How is that lame? Oh, you mean YOU missed the boat and are now jealous? Not that it matters, but those are glitched anyway. If they are downloaded, they most likely won’t install, so stop your whining!!
I see a lot of comments about the PS3 store and downloads not working.
I’m ok on my PS3, however, it is very slow in getting to checkout and finally getting the download.
What I’ve been doing many times now is, I’ll shop on my PC and purchase the games/movies/etc. that I want from the PSN store and then I’ll get on the PS3 and go to my download list and download.
Seems to be much quicker this way.
On my Vita, I have absolutely no problems…very fast and efficient when purchasing and downloading.
@ klassymike thanks man I’ll try that, dunno if it will help though, as I said when I hit download on sleeping dogs it trys to dowload one of its dlc packs instead of the game.
Thanks for Catherine, ended up being $10 for me (after saving another $10 that I banked from the recent “Spend $50+ on PSN” promo).
@ Bman11753
There are 3 DLC packs that’s included with Sleeping Dogs.
@ Bman11753
It downloaded 2 DLC packs, then the game, and then the 3rd DLC pack, when I downloaded it.
@Justin Massongill Is anyone else experiencing sound issues with Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly? One of the best parts of a survival-horror game is its sound and Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly’s sound stutters. Specifically in cutscenes but not so much in gameplay. Tecmo needs to patch or re-upload the PS3 conversion.
The price cut for Assassin’s Creed Revelations means that the bundle now costs more than buying the DLC individually. Can we expect a drop in the price of the DLC? Might make me want to go for the 100% again :-)
Could be a little more fair, if Papo & You and Karateka already Owners, that paid full price at it’s launch (my case, i.e), could download it’s soundtraks for free, now that it’s a bonus for low price new owners… (just wondering btw)
Hello there,
Thank you for the weekly update :)
please could you offer us any news about RnC FFA on vita ?
also could let ask them for us to play it even as beta or alpha for testing – it might rush things out.
please replay – I just want to be sure that someone read it :)
anyone know which Star Wars Battlefront games work on Vita? none are listed on the Vita PS Store…
@sneakyweaky and @fadingshadow: There ARE definitely audio problems with the PSN version of Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly. The audio skips like a scratched record during cutscenes. Okay, Tecmo Koei, START WORKING ON A PATCH… please. :)
Ok so i downloaded the game yesterday off of Ps Plus and the game keeps freezing at the part where it says “This title will automatically save periodically” screen. anyone know what to do????
@Destinys_Memory @@sneakyweaky THANK YOU! I knew I wasn’t hallucinating. lol Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly’s audio has indeed been botched. Dear PlayStation, PLEASE get Tecmo Koei to patch or re-upload proper conversion! I thought these things go through quality checks before being submitted. *FACE PALM*
Why can’t I check the damn store on PS3? Maintenence never happens on just ne store, Vita loads up fine. :/
smoothboarder540 why not just get the whole collection on amazon new ? even used that are LIKE NEW for 25$. Good price for all.
YA they finally put Sleeping Dogs for PS PLUS member now they just have to put Red Dead Redemption on there and gives us some more Great games like this every month then im sure everyone with a PS account that is a gamer will be a PS PLUS member
Not much for me this week, but glad to see a couple of price drops for Vita downloadable games.
I may be years late, but have not been able to put down God of War, Chains of Olympus.
If you had not finally lowered the price, I may not of ever had the chance to see what all the hype was about.
It especially is nice on the Vita.
Hope you have more great game sales like that lined up.
Support the dedicated players’ advice, and not the business, and it will continue to grow.
@222
Pretty sure they all work, besides Rogue Squadron.
If you ” Youtube” gameplay, sometimes players have video showing it.
Also if you “Gamefly” it , it has a tab for controls to see how compatible it may be.
Such as Battlefront 2 could be configured for the 2nd analog stick, but is the only one.
Hope this helps.
Just to let you know guys, the Fatal Frame 2 PSN release is broken, the videos are too slow and texture on most walls and floor flicker constantly, and sometimes just dissapear. The worst of all is that these problems are constant and extremely distracting. I hope Sony can provide some fix, because seriously this is so dissapointing.
Sleeping Dogs prompted me with a “Content will expire in 5 minutes” message and then booted back to the XMB. My PS Plus is set to expire in March 2014…

I definitely second that! Though the graphical bugs in Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly didn’t bother me as much as the sound bugs stuttering like a high school virgin on his first date. lol
It really upsets me to see that Sony is still too lazy to release Crash and Spyro trilogies on Vita.
sadly letdown with sleeping dogs. fighting is sloppy and dull. i either loose horribly or slaughter enemies. its free so not complaining, but it will be first on the chopping block when i need more space. good time killer, who doesnt enjoy bike jumps at high speeds.
fuse however, looks fun. spiltscreen? need couch co-op and its a day 1 buy for me, love me some co-op, preferably with SPLITSCREEN. hate that developers ignore that feature far to often
@207 From community.us.playstation.com/t5/PlayStation-General/God-of-War-1-amp-2-HD-Free-for-Plus-members-STORE-ERROR-FIXED/td-p/40322839 – Those that did download it will be able to keep it, and will not be retroactively charged for it
@200 See reply to #177.
You know what would be awesome? If Sony actually FIXED THE DAMN STORE!!!!!
I logged in twice last night, once very late in the evening, and both times it went through a few menus, then just sat there doing nothing, and completely locked my system to where the only way I could turn the machine off was to hold the power button down for like 15 seconds.
Unbelievable! WTF Sony?!?!?
I saw on Joystiq and other sites that Pinball Arcade, BlazBlue, and Knytt Underground would be joining the instant collection in May. Any word on what the actual date will be?
it would be cool to see updates to playstation mobile i buy those games all the time like sexy Cshore and rush cat. oh my do i love those games. i dont mind checking out the store but it would be cool to see the updates here too.
I dont know if it’s just me, but i downloaded the Sleeping Dogs game and finally got to play it today… was telling me there was a time limit after i was playing then it completely stopped on me after that time limit expired.. i re-started the game and i picked up from a last auto-save point, but hopefully that doesnt go back to the time limit… it’s supposed to be a free game, not a timed trial… someone should look into this…
@241 It expired, but you managed to continue playing it? You visited the store at some point?
I would kill for a Vita NHL game right now…
we want suikoden 2 for psn!!
Still not much game for ps vita. Hope if u can make game for both device.
I like when there is a mistake in pricing the higher price is always the correct one LOL
every digital price is a RIP OFF!.
Anywho FUSE Demo got my attention. Added it to my Game Q on Gamefly so that if I buy it it will be discounted!
Can u make sleeping dog or Gta4-5 on Ps vita. Please make more games to support PSV.
is sleeping dogs coming to the norwegian PS Store?
i meant for the instant game collection on PS Plus of course
You guys need to pull Fatal Frame 2 down RIGHT NOW. It’s a broken mess of audio and visual problems. The emulation is busted, and I do not recommend that ANYONE buy it.
I realize that Fatal Frame II is a Tecmo Koei game and therefore it falls to them to patch it…
HOWEVER, I think SONY should as a good faith gesture, at least acknowledge with a short statement on the PlayStation Blog and on the FF2 product page that THERE ARE PROBLEMS with this release. People should be made aware of what they are buying prior to purchase. What happened to QA? I thought all games had to be QA tested before going up on PSN. Did no one test this game before approving it? The problems begin IMMEDIATELY WHEN YOU START THE GAME. I’m not calling for mass refunds or boycotts. I’m not even asking for it to be removed from PSN. But I don’t think it is an unreasonable request for a brief disclaimer to be issued.
@ Nevi901 Spyro and Crash are both Available for PS3 and PS Vita it shows on the Store but it’s very small up below the game title. It is very small but it does show what it is Available on.
