Hey,

I'm having a strange problem on the PSN Store and can't quite figure out how to fix it.

I bought the Back To The Future 5 Game pack a while ago, but only downloaded episodes 1-4, now I want episode 5, but when I go to the 5 game pack on the store it's asking me to purchase it. Obviously I have already purchased it, as it says so in my download history, with episodes 2-4 labelled as "5 game pack". When I search for "Back To The Future", it gives me the options of the single episodes aswell as the game pack, but when I try to enter any of episodes 2-5, it says "This content cannot be accessed on your account". Derp? Episode 1 is a trial and I can access it fine.

Anybody else had any similar problems?

Specs say response time is 4ms. However I can't comment on if it's good for gaming or not, one Amazon review seemed to say it wasnt and that the response time was quite bad, but that could just be someone picky...

I'd say it just depends who you are playing against. If they are awesome, then the difficulty will be hard. If they are rubbish, it will be easy :-p.

Another problem with Nintendo is that they have a horrible hardware design. This is the main reason most of the wiis games look like junk. Not many want to deal with programming for the wiis hardware due to costs, difficulty ect. Hopefully Nintendo uses hardware similar to PC's. By that i mean i hope the GPU has both fixed-function shaders, and programmable shaders not this TEV stuff the GC and Wii are using. TEV isn't bad, but its harder to develop for, and in a sense not as efficient. As for CPU and RAM keep it standard as well. We dont need this ridiculous SPU stuff the PS3 uses If the wii didnt have such bad hardware architecture then people like Epic would have ported UE3 to the wii already.I recently bought an Denon A/V Receiver (AVR-790), and it upscales the wii to 1080p much better than my TV did (which also did so fairly well. Its not native 1080p, but it still looks better and not as many jaggies (i think the receiver applied SOME external anti-aliasing, something my TV did not do.). sry for the wall of text. i understand if anyone didnt bother to read it hehe :P

From waht I understand about the Wii, hardware design isn't really the problem. I thought it was built pretty much like a gamecube, just with more horsepower behind it.

The reason so many wii games look bad is because developers just aren't putting any sort of effort into them. they tend to put their focus into games on the other systems, and then leave the wii as an afterthought. THey games get no real effort, and that's why they look bad.

And also I think the motion controls use a bulk of the processing power leaving less to actually power the game. Maybe thats not the case though.

This thread fails. You included windows 98...but no vista

Xizle
Lol true that. I'm using Windows 7 32-bit. I have the 64-bit version too (obviously, they come together) but I hate 64-bit. No noticeable performance gain (infact slower imo) and extreme compatibility issues (Can't install Adobe Flash, wtf?!) Also people are saying that to use Windows 7 you "NEED" at least 2gb of ram, preferably 4gb. Well I've got a pretty old computer and it runs like a dream. AMD 4200+ 1gb GSkill PC3200 GeForce 7950GT and a measly 120gb HDD. So all you "2gb is the minimum" guys can shove it lol.

Battlefield Bad Company 2 has beautiful environments, if that's what you're looking for.

Nope, BFBC2 has that greyish Black Hawk Down theme, I think too that Halo and Uncharted 2 has most colourful graphics.

Cuz Uncharted 2 is a first person shooter... I'd say out of the ones I've played, Borderlands is quite colourful, Bioshock is colourful enough, Mirror's Edge is really really nice to look at imo.

waht IF we open the HDD case and replace it with a small SSD!!!! probably just get u baned from LIVE :( why is everyone so exciting about the USB thingo? i can't think of any good reason for it unless ur HDD is almost full.

Which most people's are I think. It's just alot more convenient than buying the branded stuff, for example it means I can shove game saves and my gamertag onto it so that I can bring them to friend's houses instead of having to download my gamertag every time and also frees up hard drive space (I have about 700mb of save games). Also means can transfer stuff like video content off the hard drive to free valuable space for games.

The limit is 2 Flash devices, so no, you can't use 3. You can install games on them and they should be faster than playing them from the disc, but it won't be as fast as playing them from the Hard drive.iamdanthaman
Any hard sources for that? Who says you can't use 3? Also I don't think it would read faster than a disc... Infact much slower. Like if you watch a movie from a USB stick it tends to jerk a bit... but DVDs are fine (obviously)...

Just a couple of questions about this flash drive business,

Everyones saying we can use 2 16gb drives to get 32gb, but can we use 3 to get 48gb?

Can we use the flash drive to install games? Or would the read speed be too slow to play games off of them?

Thanks for any info.

HD? Not necessarily. It could stay at SD resolutions fine, but more powerful shaders, processors and memory would be great. I think the Wii at HD resolution would just look worse. Aliasing would be much more apparent. Like if you use your 360/PS3 on an SDTV, jaggies more or less disappear compared to HD. This term "HD" is getting thrown around alot with this current generation, most people dont realise it's just a range of resolutions, mainly 1280x720 or higher. But even 1024x768 could be considered "HD" if you wanted, considering its alot more highly defined than 640x480...
