Official PSN Thread + Guide to Choosing Your Games (KEEP IT HERE)

[QUOTE="Rockman999"]I guess it's Dead Nation and LBP for my main account and Wipeout(just for the Fury add-on) and SSHD for my old main account. Sounds good to me. :) WilliamRLBaker

:P

For anybody getting Dead Nation, add me up. Genticles is my id. Does the game have matchmaking coop or only friends list?

i have all those games already, sucks for me, but those are some good games for people who don't have them.

wish quest was here in NA I dont want LBP *hated that game when I played it* and I'm sick of zombie games would much rather have infamous and quest.

WilliamRLBaker

I know quite a few people that didn't like LBP until they tried out the Co-Op. LBP is truly a different experience when you are playing with someone else. It is much funner and better IMO. Of course, if you did give it a little time and did play with some friends, that's understandable too. Not everyone can like it. You could always get Super Star Dust HD, and Wipe Out looks fun as well..

Did at my friend joes house *he is a complete manticore by the way* and it wasn't that it wasn't fun with friends it wasn't fun in that the original content that came with the game was short and a little lame and really its controls were just puke enducing for me I expected a little better for a game that is basically built around making your own stuff I was frankly surprised people had made some of the stuff they had with its control scheme. LBP2 got a lot better in that regard but sadly it was still the same lame short content from the developer so you had to wait for the community to post something and then watch it get banned cause it was usually a rip of another game.

Infamous & Ratchet for me :D

Wait..I gave my self? damn you really mean it I gave it to my self so you mean solidty made up his monikers too?
hes not 2009-2010-2011 SW King,The LAST SW HERO, Most Respected User,& 2x Hippy ManticoreSolidTy?

damn Solidty you tricky man beast you making up all your monikers just like I did....
Passwords were hashed...supposedly...and Psn was supposedly a secure system where 77 mllion users profile information including user name and password weren't in basically a plain text file...and supposedly maybe, could have, may have but unlikely credit card information was taken from possibly outdated apache servers and CONFIRMED mostly if no firewall protection...

then you have the fact the ps plus users had no access to their stuff and frankly a few of the games in that list are token gifts of no real quality Infamous and LBP being the stand out titles *with infamous and deadnation being the ones I get...though Im sick of zombie games*. But I do believe as soon as psn was up you were well no before psn was up you were explaining away the whole situation as no big deal.|

and actually wait who said I said this was a bad welcome back, or we are sorry for possibly giving away your hard earned money grab bag? where have I made this claim? I do believe the claim I have made is that This must be really bad and have been really bad if they are willing to give up to 250 dollars of free stuff away to desperately keep users and tamper down this massive embarrasment to the Company as a whole... yeah I don't believe at a single point have I said that this was a bad welcome back gift I've only said that as I said just before If sony is willing to give up near 250 dollars worth of free stuff then things must have been bad and they really did screw up in a severe way to be willing to go to that extent to make the users stay around and to cover their proverbial behinds.

WilliamRLBaker

I've consistently maintained that it's a serious issue, and there are appropriate actions to take in order to protect oneself. I've also consistently maintained it's nowhere near as serious as some people trying to fearmonger are trying to imply. I know you're not particularly familiar with it, but there's this little thing between black and white, called grey.

But do continue hysterically ranting.

It's a goodwill gesture, and it goes beyond what's "necessary."

do love how you ignored how you said I made up my moniker.
Um no it was plainly stated firewalls weren't used on every server its never been debunked except by I believe a neogaf user wasn'tit the same one that said the apache servers were uptodate? but hey It was a neogaf user since that is in there they are instantly correct and couldn't have spudged the data or been wrong certainly shouldn't believe the security expert that talked at the congressional talks he doesn't know crap but them neogaf users are infallable.

And sorry but there is no grey there is only black and white realists realize this grey is for those that cant handle the fact that there is either do or don't nothing gets done, and humanity dies when there is a grey zone. Psn was either secure or unsecure...in this case to the hackers it was completely unsecure which is why Sony has yet to guarantee nothing was taken have maintaind using the words may have, could have, and possibly but unlikely when it came to credit card data and is why they are offering this near 250 dollar package...though I do love this part as well that you keep maintaining I'm saying this package isn't up to snuff...yet i've not claimed this once...and I've already detailed what this package means...Desperation.

WilliamRLBaker

Well Dead Nation and LBP are my main targets so if my PS3 gets locked out of the program after I download those two games then meh. But I doubt that Sony will limit the amount of different activations on each console cause like I said, Sony has no way of telling whether the accounts on a PS3 belong to muliple family members or just one peson.

Rockman999

Props Sony. I kept saying "they damn well better give out free games if they wanna maintain customer loyalty" when PSN was downand now they're actually doing it.

I'll probably get Wipeout and Stardust with my creds.

Ill be downloading Dead Nation and Little Big Planet

It wasn't a neogaf user. It was a beyond3D user who gave an evidence-based conclusion that as at mid-March the majority of the servers were on Apache 2.2.17 the latest stable release, with a subset of unknown purpose all listed as RC and mirroring other servers that were on 2.2.15.

The security expert didn't have any firsthand info whatsoever, and says as much in his written testimony. He was repeating claims made in the media, which were based on old IRL chatlogs. If that's where you're saying it was plainly stated that there weren't firewalls and thus it was "CONFIRMED" then you're plainly wrong.

Neither the Beyond3D user or the IRC chatlogs offer anything conclusatory. While Sony have categorically stated that firewalls were in place and one can accept that or assume they're lying. The latter being no basis for any credible argument.

PSN wasn't secure enough. Nothing is secure enough to sufficiently skilled hackers.

Sony outlined their reasoning behind maintaining they do not believe credit data was accessed, but cannot categorically say that it wasn't taken. That doesn't mean it wasn't taken. But that certainly doesn't mean - as you keep trying to imply that it certainly was.

Oh I see, you're just trying to spin a company going above and beyond with recompense into a bad thing - that's not utterly stupid whatsoever.

The idea that one can't temper their reactions and that one must subject themselves to absolutes - yeah, not utterly stupid whatsoever either.

thread stickied.

Dead Nation and Wipeout for ps3

LBP and Modnations for PSP

Okay Sony, you are forgiven, but we have not forgotten.

Who thinks that PSN and the XMB willget a new look?

This really seems like a sticky thread that should be in the PS3 forums and not here.

Anyone confirm if australia is getting this as well?

sorry but there is no grey there is only black and white realists realize this grey is for those that cant handle the fact that there is either do or don't nothing gets done, and humanity dies when there is a grey zone.

WilliamRLBaker

Thinking of things as flat out black and white "Right and wrong" is how the world has got itself into the mess it currently is in. I don't want to go into it as this is totally the wrong forum to start this kind of discussion. But I will say that this is a dangerous way to look at things because anything that is considered "Black" may be considered "White" by someone else.

More on the topic though...

The "No firewalls" quote has no credence from the security expert who himself was dismayed when he was miquoted as he stated he was only relaying information he had read on a forum. Just like everyone else. With the evidence emerging to back that Sony did have updated servers, the two cancle eachother out as neither have a official source to prove what is correct or incorrect. Even if the latter has some proof from a forum goer who proped the Sony servers to check the facts. Unfortunatly he is as official as "IRC logs"

Wether Sony's welcome back plan should be considered "Desperate" is up for debate, personally I don't see how it's a "Desperate" move. Sony could have easilly tossed out some crummy avatars and wallpapers if they had no concern at all, but the games themselves while full retail titles are rather old. A desperate move to me would be to offer rather new material for download. Something like Patapon 3, or Disidia 2, or heck even something like a full retail copy of Deadspace 2 or something thats not so old it's on bargain bins around the world allready. Sony doesn't risk loosing many potential "Sales" and the lineup actually encourages new sales of Infamous 2 and Littlebigplanet 2. So running the risk of being called cheap on the side of the choice of games, and fostering a artificial sales boon to newer titles didn't stop Sony from riskin a posible PR blunder from that gambit.

Not something someone "Desperate" would do.

This really seems like a sticky thread that should be in the PS3 forums and not here.

Very nice list of games and for those who cares .. the R&C quest for booty is a short game..

Must be a bummer to the people that already have all those games sony is giving.Arach666

[QUOTE="Arach666"]Must be a bummer to the people that already have all those games sony is giving.mrmusicman247

Does anyone know what the community is still like in LBP? Are there still plenty of people playing online?fabz_95

Yea, LBP1 levels still poping up even on LBP2 cool pages, so i guess there still people there :) but best creators already exoduce to LBP2, still you can find there levels. Either way if you got or plan to get LBP2, LBP1 will be nice addtion since all the exclusive items that you can only get in LBP1 are transfer over to LBP2.

[QUOTE="lawlessx"]When can we starting downloading these games off the PSN store?Lionheart08

As soon as PS Store is back up I think. :P

I'm thinking Wipeout HD and LBP.

Better be soon.:P I wanna download these before I leave.:P

I remember when the PSN title FLOW was available for a free download. I downloaded it under my account at my bro's place but when I tried to get it through PSN under my account, it wasn't showing up in my history and couldn't get it again for free?:? I'm wondering if this will be the case with these games as well, seeing as I believe the offer will only be up for 30 days I believe?:?

Also can we activate the PSN + deal whenever we can or is it only from the start of the PSN store being open and only for 30 days from right there? Man what a terrible time to go on vacation, I'm really hoping that the Store is back up before the 28th at least...:?

weak giveaways.

the way the ps3 library started out ps3 owners already jumped on those games like a guy jumps on a bottle of water after a month in the desert.

i guess i will play through infamous again and maybe dead nation or one of the 3d titles.

i thought for sure pain would be in there and while it is not ahuge title or anything it was something i always wanted to try and never got a demo.
