Two more games to add to it tonight. I haven't tried Outland but heard it's good, I won it in a Twitter contest a while back. Bloodryane looked good, but didn't want to pay $15 for it. Glad I didn't now.
Yeah I couldn't get em' all (due to the small fatty I have currently). Hoping they are still up in 2 days when I get the new and improved large fatty. :nod:Quote:

If the game(s) already have a red box next to them with a shopping cart logo, then they're already in your purchases and you can download them at anytime. If not, add everything to your cart and then hit purchase and then when it goes to the download screen just hit circle to back out.
Thanks man!Quote:

WOW! This is some good news.
Additionally, it was announced that Plus' cloud storage limit will be increased from 150MB to 1GB. The increase will take place sometime in September, according to the PlayStation Blog.
Looks like I signed up at just the right time with the mother load of free games and now a Beta. :nod:
Disappointed I cannot pledge my god of war alliance to Tebow! :smh:
EDIT: We need a TGT "clan" fo this shizzle but again I'll be the WEAK link in the chain.
Thanks for all the advice/help guys. 3 hours to load up my backup data but assuming that goes to plan I'll now have a 1TB Fatty PS3. Was actually surprised how EASY it was. Just takes a ton of time to transfer the data to/from the external hard drive but otherwise its a piece of cake.
EDIT: AWESOME I didn't have to re-download a single game from the PSN. Going to double check but all the icons for my games are there.
Between you ... and somebody else who recently swapped hard drives ... I'm definitely doing that once I get a little more stability in my life :D Sounds tons easier than I was led to believe it was.
I just bought a 1TB 2.5" SATA today to upgrade as well.Quote:

Yeah I am about as un-tech savy as it gets. The process is VERY easy (see the youtube video on page 11). I should note it did take roughly 7 hours to complete. However, 6+ hours of it is the actual transfer of data to/from the external hard drive. Of course, the time will vary depending on how much data is on your current hard drive. I just went home during lunch formatted the external drive and then started the transfer process. PS3 said it would take 3 1/2 hours so I left came back home at the end of the day and it was finished.Quote:

Yeah everything I read said that you would too due to file limit sizes on Fat32. I was STUNNED when the reload finished and EVERYTHING was still there (including Infamous 2 a 15GB file - which I couldn't install on the old hard drive due to limited space). So I installed that and checked to make sure Pac Man worked and it did so I assume the rest do as well.Quote:

I figured it would be better in the long run of upping it to 1TB since I now will catch up on shows through downloading them and putting them on a jump drive, so now I can put them on the HDD and delete them as I watch them. And then of course with all the free stuff from PS+, I won't have to manage and install and delete files, etc.Quote:

Well, just for comparison sake, I've built two PCs :D What I was talking about, as we all discussed on previous pages, is that I had believed that your saves could be lost in that process. It appears that's just when the backup/restore is used with a different console, and not the same system. Very cool to learn I was wrong (though frustrating because I would have upgraded months or a year ago if I'd known)Quote:

Scott Pilgram vs the World is kinda like River City Rampage, and well Double Dragon Neon is pretty self explanatory, and it's a brand new game for free!
Trophies? I messes around weekend before last with Ratchet and it was actually pretty enjoyable game that reminded me a big of Mega Man from back in the day. Need to whore it out now for the :plat:Quote:

I think they're gonna patch in online MP into Scott Pilgrim so when they do, I'd love to play through it with some peeps. It's too hard for me, even on the easiest setting, for me to solo it.
Cloud storage increasing from 150MB to 1GB in next firmware, 4.25 (available now)
http://blog.us.playstation.com/2012/...-update-v4-25/
Yeah that firmware just fucked up my PS3. I'm now stuck in the endless install loop.Quote:

Will do. Just out of curiosity is your problem a freak occurrence or something that might be wrong with the latest update?Quote:

I'm pretty optimistic that this fix I found should work, I will just probably lose my data, but I'm fine with that at this point. I do still have the backup from when I switched HDD's on my portable 320GB if I want to restore it, but I think I'm going to just go clean if I can get this to work.
http://www.joystiq.com/2012/09/19/ps...a-in-november/PlayStation Plus comes to PS Vita in November [update]
That is some great news.Quote:
During Sony's TGS keynote, Sony Computer Entertainment president Andrew House revealed that PS Plus would launch on the PS Vita this November. The service will be available to PS Vita owners for 500 yen per month in Japan or $17.99 every three months in the US; $49.99 for the year.
Update: A press release from Sony confirms existing PS Plus subscribers on PS3 will get PS Vita membership gratis and new PS Plus subscribers on PS Vita will be able to access the PS3 bonuses. In addition to the savings, PS Plus members on Vita can send their saved game data to the cloud – 1GB total for PS3 saves and 1GB total for PS Vita saves.
The Starhawk single player campaign is free to Plus members tomorrow. Plus members also get the multiplayer for $19.99, so you theoretically you could get the whole game for under $20. That's a steal.
Hmmmm. Tempting, but I'll probably just stick with the single player.Quote:

Yeah, I just wouldn't have the time for multiplayer. But really stoked at the single player being available.Quote:

Hell yeah!Quote:
