The Old Sony Megathread

[apsham]

I received an e-mail that my Playstation Network password had been changed.. I haven't used that account in a VERY long time and I can't even go to the "Forgot Password" page to try and fix whatever fuckery was going on there.. e-mailing Sony didn't really give me any help either, they want to know the approximate date that the account was created and what not before they'll give me any help.. I've owned a PSP, and two PS3s and I've had two different accounts on a past and current e-mail address. I have no fuckin' clue.

for those of you looking to clear up some space, try going into your "game data" (not saved data!) and getting rid of some old installations. Just removes the installs from games you know you arent coming back to, and the saved game files are still there in case you do.

Also, it is VERY easy to buy a 500 gig harddrive and install it with only removing a few screws. You tube should have all you need there and such hard drives wont cost more than 50 bucks Id imagine right now.

try going through your email to find it. or do a lot of guessing

I have the old 60GB build, so over time I've had to delete stuff from the game data. It really isn't a big deal, because I'm never playing more than a few different games at one time, so re-installing something later on doesn't bother me.

[Herr Matzat]

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. :/

It´s not that big, i think it took me 10-20 houres to beat.

Little Big Planet is only 2gb, no problem there.

[MalaCloudy Black]

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.

Yeah. I don't know why, but I was thinking it'd be smaller -- my cousin downloaded it and the download was only 1.5GB for him. Then I realized that may be because he already had some inFamous data on his HDD from where he rented it off gamefly.

[Cactus Drags]

Yes but then we get that situation where it's like:

"Ok guys, let's play _______!"

"Ok."

"Yes!"

""

" I could have borrowed that if you'd given me 3 weeks notice."

I suppose.

Dan and ellis, what are you psn tags?

AmpleSalty and Danhufclegend

I dunno how much i'd play online caus PS3 headsets are just awful.

Do the 360 workaround!

[Baddar]

I paid like £9 for my MadCatz headset almost 3 years ago, and I've never had a problem with it.

In saying that, my brother in law and his father bought the official Sony one as soon as they got their PS3's, and had problems with them straight away.

Cheaper is sometimes better!

[MalaCloudy Black]

Bawwwwww inFamous corrupted at 5.4gb.

EDIT: On the headset deal, I've got a cheapo $20 Plantronics headset that I paired with my PS3 and it works just fine.

[King Ellis]

I dunno what the deal was, playing Uncharted 2 with Benji and Kaney a while back was technically sound. The quality was lacking but we could all talk to each other. On Burnout though, me and Dan could talk to each other for about 5 seconds and then nothing. Then Baddar turned up, I heard noise from someone and it nearly deafened me and then, again, nothing after that.

Oh and just to kill my internet further, downloading those movies. About 12gb. Yaaay.

Ive got my psp with skype on it, so rather than test out how each game does with the head set (some do well some arent doing so well as of recent...) Im just having it by my side and chatting that way during hunted the demons forge.

[Dan]

It was probably me with my 6 year old bluetooth headset I haven't used in years causing the issues to be honest, I could hear you fine but I think the mic is crappy.

[Ruki]

I will download my games next Sunday! InFamous and Wipeout!!!

[King Ellis]

Any idea if Wipeout is ok for cross region play? Since my choices from the American store are limited to Super Stardust and then a duplicate of games I already have, I could always download Wipeout and trade in my disc copy caus it's worth the most.

[Herr Matzat]

Any idea what the european time for the Sony Show will be tonight? I know apple starts at 19:00 German time ( i think thata 6pm ul time)

[TCO]

Isn't it 5pm Pacific? Which would be 1am GMT or 2am in German money.

[gunnar hendershow]

5pm Pacific, 8pm EST, 1am GMT. Looks like I'm doing the TE finale alongside E3.

[Damian WayLNKe]

I tried Dead Nation this morning and seems pretty good. Let me know if any EWBers want to do the multiplayer.

[jrhodes]

Ugh my PS3 HD has gone all corrupted on me. I've gone through the whole "PS3 Hard Disk Is Corrupt And Will Be Restored" about a dozen times and it hasn't worked.

Is there another way to fix it or do I have to ship it back to Sony?

[EWB's Best Poster.]

Done a total wipe? Past that, Id say sony.
