    Is the Japanese store up yet? Tried to get in to get some welcome back stuff and it's throwing an error that I can't read.

    Japanese PSN is still down because the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Commerce is apparently unsatisfied with Sony's network security.

    More PAL Stuff: http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2011/06/06/heads-up-game-store-update-6th-june-2011/

    Another fairly minor update. It's mostly DLC, the Fallout: New Vegas pack Honest Hearts probably being the most significant.
    There's also DLC for Dead Space 2, Crysis 2, Red Faction: Armageddon and Dirt 3.

    As for new games, we get a downloadable version of Split/Second and Ridge Racer Type 4 (PSOne).

    PSN is up, just the store is down.

    So do I have to complete the campaign in Outland before I can play the co-op challenge maps? All I can access right now for co-op is the story mode, screw that.

    Hopefully someone can help me obtain my free psp games, I am clicking welcome back and I do not see any free games for my account. There are two reasons for this 1. the PSN system is down again or 2. I registered for PSN the moment it got hacked so I was never able to finalize anything does that mean I don't get the promotion?

    Hopefully someone can give me insight what may be my situation

    Thank you

    Hook up the PSP to the PS3 with a USB cable. In the XMB, highlight each PSP game, press triangle, and select whatever option says Copy/Move.

    Any free content you download (not counting the "Welcome Back" games) is only valid while your PS+ sub is active. The only free things you can download and keep are themes and avatars.

    I've played about an hour into it and loved it. Didn't really have anything I didn't like, apart from maybe when I got lost a couple of times or found a bit where I couldn't really return to where I was previously but that's not really a big problem, since you can just retry the level to get back to the beginning.

    And yeah, it's a demo+unlock, so there'll be a demo (or if you've got a UK account you can just download that if you want, don't have to wait an extra week).

    Anyway, wow that's one rubbish update. Where's all the sweet E3 trailers? Beyond Good & Evil HD? Hopefully SCEE delivers tomorrow cause that's weak.

    Has sony told anyone anything about the 3.61 freezing issues? Mine started hard locking after the firmware update (and after several manual shut offs I experienced some drive corruption). I've tried doing a full format (yeah the one that takes forever on large drives), switching the drive out with a different one (the old 60gb one), etc.. and I'm still getting lock ups. Seems to mainly happen when I'm on the XMB (downloading, changing themes, etc..). I just freakin finished redownloading all of my PSN games and I really don't want it to freeze up and cause some drive corruption again.

    Any idea how to fix this? Do I wait for sony to put out a magical firmware update? It seems like it would be a big coincidence that my console is dying a long with all of those other folks that are complaining about the exact same issue post firmware update (including Rockstar posting that it was the firmware causing LA Noire lockups then yanking the post).

    It also sounds "hiring British people again and trying really really hard to make them sound American".

    I swear to Christ (pun unintended) that Ignition wants to go down as the worst RPG localizers of all time. Sure, you can switch languages in this game, and at least there appears to be an actual two or three readings of the script, but I honestly wish they would just disappear and just leave the obscure Japanese games to companies who actually give a damn (Atlus, NIS).

    Also, I'm still unsure how I feel about the game as a whole. Sure it's got that crazy Killer 7 randomness and art style, but it's also punishingly difficult (either I'm doing something wrong or enemies really do take like a billion hits before they die) and I'm no fan of 3D bottomless pits either.

    The formatting's all kinds of screwed up in that blog post. WKC2 DLC for PSP? What?

    But regardless, Beyond Good and Evil HD? So there. I was intending on waiting till the very last moment to redeem my free month of PSN+ but I'll probably end up caving in and getting it tomorrow. Won't have much time between studying, exams and Infamous 2 (let alone Outland and a few other games I've got) but eh, it'll be on my PS3 waiting for me to get some free time.

    What the fuck is with the complete lack of E3 trailers though? Both SCEA and SCEE are pathetic on that front. I want uncompressed HD versions of the Uncharted 3, Assassin's Revelations and Uncharted: Golden Throne trailers damnit.
