The Old Sony Megathread

[New Damage]

I've done the latter, but it still said £21.99. I'll try the account management thing when I can next, cheers.

[TCO]

If I use my other account to download the other games, can I delete the user again on my PS3 and still have access to the games? I like having just one user on the PS3 and delete the other user unless i need my ohter PS3 account for some reason.

The same thing happened to me as TMW. I got an error code while initially trying to download it and the option disappeared. Account Information is the way to do it. I got Infamous and Wipeout.

I ended up also having the problem with disk space. I didn't have your other problem though, fortunately.

Which leads to my next question, how do you all manage your disk space and make sure you don't run out of space?

[Herr Matzat]

I put in my old MacBook Harddrive, for now that (149gb) has been enough to handle all ps+ conted. Sooner or later you will just have to delet stuff. But unlike iTunes you can just go in your purchase history and redownload everything later. You also can creat backups, but i don´t know if that works for single games.

[gunnar hendershow]

I was thinking of getting an extra HDD and attaching it. It seems like the best option, but I was just wondering if there were any special tricks.

[Herr Matzat]

Unless your internet conection is shit i don´t think there are to many reasons to not delet stuff you don´t use every now and than. You don´t loose Savegames or Trophys, thats different data.

House of the Dead II description snippet:

"...a film that boldly continues where Uwe Boll's inept first film left off."

What kind of sales pitch is that?!

[gunnar hendershow]

Sounds like if you enjoy horribly made movies then this one is for you!

[Meacon Keaton]

A hilariously accurate one.

So I decided to get inFamous as one of my free games...holy christ it's 7gb.

Been downloading for 3 hours and it's only 73% done, I imagine after installation and updates the total time will be around 6 hours.

And I thought the 3/4 hours for Burnout was a while.

[Colly]

Just pray you don't (like me) end up with a corrupted file and have to all over again. 38%...

[Dan]

I haven't set it to download in background or anything, just left it on the first downloading screen so hopefully it shouldn't be a problem.

[New Damage]

Same, 4 hours on and 75%. I set mine to background, but have not been doing anything else at all, and set the PS3 to turn off as it finishes.

[Dan]

92%!

Only 18 minutes to go, can't wait

[Herr Matzat]

Speed has picked up a lot today. Yesterday around this time i could count the kilobytes.

[Dan]

Got it, it's alright, I've been having too much fun on Burnout but I'll slowly play it through, quite glad it didn't have any updates either.

Now to decide on the other game I'm going to get ^_^

Went with Dead Nation and Wipeout since I already have LBP and Infamous. Really dig Wipeout, it's the first game I've played in the series since the famous PS1 demo disc with Korn's "Blind" on it. Tell me I'm not the only one that remembers that.

Dead Nation is fun, speaking of PS1, reminds me of Loaded, which I played the hell out of back in 95. I can see it getting quite frustrating though.

You aren't. But Wipeout 2097 set to the tune of "Firestarter" is waaaaaaay cooler.

You are most certainly not the only one. I had completely forgotten about it basically being my intro to Korn way back when I was like... 8? Far too young to be listening to such music!

I've been hooked on L.A. Noire the past couple of days, but I'm looking forward to booting up Wipeout and doing some EWBattles this week. I figure I'll get around to Infamous when I don't have a sandbox-type game at my disposal. Until then it'll just sit around.

[New Damage]

Got Infamous, seems pretty good, but it's one of those games is so big it feels like you're making hardly any progress. Will attempt to get LBP tonight or something, even though I only have 7GB left. :/
