At first I thought the list was shit, then I realised that the list is only shit because the games are too good and I own most of them already. I've always wanted to try the Rachet and Clank games but have never had time with all the other exclusives and definitive versions the console offers.

The PSP list is pretty shit, I wanted Patapon 3 but that was simply unrealistic.

Whinging about something like this is ****ing weak.

In your opinion, yes. However, in my opinion, Sony have marketed this as Compensation for the time PSN was down (or are they compensating for potential raping of your personal details?). As such, compensation implies that each "victim" will recieve equal value form said compensation. Eg; If $1 million was the compensation it would be distributed between the 77 million PSN users (gee that figure makes me laugh)
This is not the case. It is very clear WHY they offered this selection of games, because Sony know that the majority of users would already have these titles (they can pull this info from their servers-assuming that info has not been hacked), and therefore the value of this compensation is diminished (and the impact on Sony is lessened). They make an argument that these are "top rating" titles, and "yes" they are. But they are old, old titles that a vast number of people already own/played.

If you don't own the titles, then you are clearly recieving "compensation". If you do own all the titles, then what compensation are you receiving?. (Please don't say 1 month PSN+ subscription-that's a whole different argument).

Super Sleuth
18-05-2011, 02:07 PM
To be honest, any compensation for the down time is being generous. The network was actively attacked by an outside source. If it had been a issue that came from within Sony's network, then you could say that they should offer a form of compensation. But ultimately, it's a free service. I'm pretty sure there's not contract in place that details PS3 owners are guaranteed to have access to the PSN and it's online services. Sure, it's a pain in the arse to the consumer, but we're not entitled to anything. Those who have Plus or Qriocity accounts obviously should have their subs extended though.

I'm not going to argue that the games offered as compensation haven't been chosen tactically by Sony. Hell, the 2 primary games offered have sequels out now or out soon. Naturally, upon this realisation we will raise an eyebrow at this decision, but really, any proactive business would do this. But to say they specifically chose them because they thought everyone would have it already is silly. Seriously, that's just lowly bleeding heart consumer thinking.

Everything they do in the next month is damage control. None of us are 'entitled' to free shit. We are just the beneficiaries of their problem.

In a press release, Sony spokesman Sir Howard Sizzler outlined the new package:
"Simply go to www.butcheronline.com and follow the PS3 link. You will need a Credit Card for postage costs, however, you will not need to enter your Credit Card details as it is more than likely that they have your details by now (lets face it, who hasn't).

SONY AND SONY COMPUTER ENTERTAINMENT ANNOUNCE FULL RESTORATION OF PLAYSTATION®NETWORK SERVICES

Tokyo, May 31, 2011 – Sony Corporation and Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE) announced today that Sony Network Entertainment International (SNEI, the company) will fully restore all PlayStation®Network services in the Americas, Europe/PAL territories and Asia, excluding Japan, Hong Kong, and South Korea by the end of this week. The company will also resume Music Unlimited powered by Qriocity™ for PlayStation®3 (PS3®), PSP® (PlayStation®Portable), VAIO and other PCs. Details for Japan, Hong Kong, and South Korea as well as the remaining services on Qriocity will be announced as they become available.

The company implemented considerable security enhancements to the network infrastructure, as well as conducted testing of the payment process and commerce functions. The first phase of PlayStation Network and Qriocity restoration began on May 15 in the Americas and Europe/PAL territories, followed by Japan and Asian countries and regions on May 28, when the company brought partial services back online. With this partial restoration users were able to access to some of the services such as online game play, account management, friend lists and chat functionality were restored. The full restoration of PlayStation Network as well as part of services to become available on Qriocity will include:

• Full functionality on PlayStation®Store
• In-game commerce
• Ability to redeem vouchers and codes
• Full functionality on Music Unlimited powered by Qriocity for PS3, PSP, VAIO and
other PCs
• Full functionality on Media Go

Customers can now purchase and download games and video content from the PlayStation®Store on PS3 or PSP. In addition, consumers will have full access to Music Unlimited powered by Qriocity through PS3, PSP, VAIO and other PC’s. Service restoration of Video on Demand powered by Qriocity™ and Music Unlimited powered by Qriocity for a variety of network-enabled Sony devices will be announced later.

“We have been conducting additional testing and further security verification of our commerce functions in order to bring the PlayStation Network completely back online so that our fans can again enjoy the first class entertainment experience they have come to love,” said Kazuo Hirai, Executive Deputy President, Sony Corporation. “We appreciate the patience and support shown during this time.”

The company will be offering customers a “Welcome Back” package of services and premium content to all registered PlayStation Network* and Qriocity account services. The details of this program will continue to be detailed regionally.

* Only available for those countries with access to PlayStation®Store.

Nabbed Infamous, LBP, Wipeout & Super Stardust HD. Can't wait to see what games will be eventually offered on the Japanese store (Boku no Nastuyasumi pls).

Awesome!

Now, how exactly do the licenses work here? Can US accounts play against PAL accounts? Do I need to make sure I get Dead Nation on the account I can use to play with others, or will my main account be able to access the games and play online regardless of which account downloads them?

Nevermind, I just grabbed inFamous and Dead Nation on my main account and will get probably Wipeout and the shooter one on my US account. Dead Nation is quite good, but WTF is with the resolution? The lighting is marvelous but it looks like it's running at something sub-HD.

I'm stunned the game requires a 182MB patch.

I'm still getting used to it, haven't played a twin-stick shooter in a long time!

Shit yeah. Two aussie accounts, 1 US account, 1 jap account, 1 hong kong account = many free games plus some PSP games.

Plus I'll have like 3 months of PSN plus

Man Dead Nation is good! Still can't get over how blocky it is, but apart from that it's a blast. I want to try multi but I don't have a headset. :( I might just buy some < $10 bluetooth thing off ebay.

I bought the official PS3 headset and I don't know how to USE IT.

It beeps and then goes red and then stops and it's all very confusing and the instructions don't help!

I had the same problem. There is a button on the charger thing that you need to press when you're connecting for the first time iirc.

After you've paired it (it should show up in bluetooth devices in accessory options), put it on your head and hold the power button until it makes some retarded tone. Hold it again to do a similar tone noting it's turned off.

inFamous - Very Crackdown, although I'll admit I liked the jumping better there. Similar to Dead Nation, WTF is with the visuals? Everything is blocky as hell and I'm fairly sure there's no AA whatsoever. I thought part of the draw of PS3 over Xbox was superior visuals in exclusive titles? Hope the second one looks better.

Super Stardust HD - Was only getting this just because it was there, but I quite like what I've played so far.

Considering the price of the Vita, I'm mildly surprised that a Ps3 price-cut wasn't announced. I wonder if both Sony and Microsoft are both waiting on each other making the first move.

Uncharted 3 looks appropriately spectacular. Fanboy hyperbole says it'll be the best looking console game seen to date. The footage seen thus far certainly points to this being the case. On the other hand, Resistance 3 looked positively dull. I can't think of a single reason to want to play that at all, based off what was shown, and you'd assume that they'd have elected to demonstrate one of the more exciting moments.

AranchineD

Indeed super8. I suspect PS3 gamers won't stop getting games with poor graphics unless they make a stand and demand higher standards.

Dragon's Crown, new four player co-op RPG/Beat 'em up by Vanillaware for PS3 & PSVita. (http://www.siliconera.com/2011/06/07/dragons-crown-is-a-4-player-co-op-game-by-vanillaware/)

It, of course, looks gorgeous. It will also sound gorgeous, as, based on what I can hear in that trailer and his history with them, it sounds like Hitoshi Sakimoto is creating the music for the game :D

If it's just for communicating in game then get the PS3 bluetooth headset second hand from GAME or somewhere that sells them. Mine was really cheap, like $10-$20 or something. Works great.
