Namco's getting desperate for guest stars, aren't they
Sony announced today that it will end PSP's comic download service at the end of September. The "comic" tab will no longer be accessible from the PlayStation Store interface after that time.
Ahead of the September closure, Sony will stop adding new content to the service on March 15.
Those who purchased comic content from PlayStation Store will be able to continue redownloading their content through the end of this year. Sony will also keep the Comic Reader app available for download through the end of the year.
Can any of you that have Playstation Plus tell me its pros and cons?
Pro: Discounts on games and DLC and stuff.
Con: You have to pay for a subscription.
Pro: Occasionally you can get a game for free.
Con: If you unsubscribe, you no longer have access to games you got for free.
I should mention that I don't have PS+. Maybe there's more to it.

Regarding PS+, there's also 150mb of cloud storage for games saves, which is something I've found very useful after a recent hard drive failure.
I know 150mbs doesn't sound like much, but I have saves for nearly 30 games in the cloud and still have 60mb free.
Ugh, really wish there was a solution to store my PSP games on my computer so I could more easily more stuff around without having to wait an hour plus for stuff to download.
Do you find the discounts you receive to be substantial? Or is it more like 5% off things?
Typically, the big PSN sales (Spring Sale, Fall Sale, 12 for '12, etc.) are 30% off for regular PSN users and 50% off for PSN+ users. But yeah, discounts on games, free games (minis, PSOne games, some of the crappier PSN titles, and sometimes some good ones as well like Back To The Future), cloud saves, auto trophy syncing, it's a pretty good package.
I'd recommend waiting for a particular deal to tickle your fancy before signing up though. There's no real reason to have it right away. That, or look for a deal on the PSN+ cards.
You can't just pull the data off the PSP once it's downloaded?
I suppose, but do you think it would have a panic attack if I renamed folders from the "USAR49348" naming convention it uses and put something like "Little Big Planet PSP' in its place?

I have never tried any of this, other than backing up my pro duo on my pc.

Yeah, that's not a good idea. Just copy them off and either nest them in a named folder or create a text file with the default and real names. Or just get a Vita and rejoice in Mac support.
So I'm not seeing Resistance Retribution on PSN anymore...any idea why Sony would remove that?
And for that matter, what else has been pulled that I don't know of?
Edit : Sony website says UMD only...that's fairly bullshit.
Weird, it's still on the SCEE stores. Did you try search? A month or so ago I couldn't find the Dungeon Siege 3 DLC normally but I found it when I used search.

I guess this is the PS thread?
OK, so! I've been saving for a Vita, but realized PS3's are actually pretty cheap now in comparison (£199 for the PS3, £279 for the 3G Vita) and I'd be better off getting one of those + some games than getting the Vita and nothing to play on it.
So gimme some details on the PS3. I had a few weeks experience when a flatmate had one, but that was in 2007, so let's say I know nothing about em. :P
I'm gonna buy new, cause I've got a thing about preowned consoles. Given I have a 250gb 360 as my main console, and I've only ever got about a quarter of it full, so I'm fine with the 160gb model PS3 I think.
I'm looking at the FFXIII-2 bundle, cause I've heard great things about that game, and I even (sorta) liked XIII anyway, so. Just one thing; cause obviously I can't transfer my XIII save from the 360, can I download one off GFAQs and use it as my 'old' XIII save? How do PS3 saves work, cause on the 360 they're tied to accounts and you can't really use other people's like that.
Do PSN games ever go on sale, or am I OK going down the list of PSone Classics and grabbing everything I want all in one go?
Also, there a list of good PS3 exclusives? I know Infamous and Uncharted are supposed to be great, but what else?
It is possible to copy over save games from another PS3/account, but the save will have to be from the same region in my experience.
It doesn't work for all games though, some are locked to a specific console.
There are frequent sales on the store, so it's usually worth waiting a while for something to drop in price.
As for exclusives, Uncharted, Infamous, LittleBigPlanet, Yakuza, MGS4, God of War 3 and Demon's Souls are a good start as far as I'm concerned.
And there's a good list of PSN games worth checking out at the start of the thread.

I kick around the idea of getting a PS3 occasionally, most likely when it hits the $149 price point.
But I'll likely never get around to it. Between the three handhelds and two consoles I'm supporting now I've more games than I've got time to play 'em.

My PC backlog is massive. But I'm still gonna get it, otherwise I'll get a Vita at launch and be mad about it being full price.
Looks like a bunch of the PSone Classics I want aren't available on the PAL PSN. Is there anything stopping me from using a US or JP account and using those PSN stores? And if I am stuck with just one, which should I go for - US, JP or my default PAL?
I know the Vita's locked to one account / region, so I figure I better pick whichever PSN region has the most stuff I want and stick with it.
Oh, also, does the 160gb come with a Sixaxis, or a Dualshock?
You'd have to check the box but I'd assume that all new consoles come with a Dualshock.
If you can get ahold of some US PSN codes you shouldn't have a problem. I have a US account but I've only used it for demos / betas. You aren't restricted to one PSN account per console, not sure if there is a max (I have 4).

So excited for Journey. Don't know if I can wait a month. Also excited to hear the news that thatgamecompany's next game is going to have a more fleshed-out online component. Rumor has it that it will be called Journey 2: The Mysterious Island and will feature The Rock.

Nah, I heard the sequel was about a small-town girl. She's living in a lonely world and she...
Ending spoiler:
...takes the midnight train to anywhere.
It's still going to have online co-op, where the second player takes the role of city boy raised in South Detroit.

The 160GB comes w/ a Dualshock. If you're looking for exclusives for PS3, here's a list of what I got off the top of my head:
Disgaea 4
echochrome
ICO & SotC HD
God of War 3
LittleBigPlanet 2
Metal Gear Solid 4
Pixeljunk Shooter / 2
Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time
Super Stardust HD
Twisted Metal
Valkyria Chronicles
Wipeout HD / Fury

I should mention that I don't have PS+. Maybe there's more to it.
Plus, it's like what, $50 a year I think, you'll make that back in the free games.
I have been enjoying it anyway.
I didn't even know that this existed.
Well, I got both the Sam and Max season and the Back to the Future games for free, that's like $30 right there.
Scroll up to the recent update post (page 13), it has some representitive discounts in there, looks like about 20% ish.
Is Twisted Metal & Motorstorm any good on the PSP?
Switch: 6200-8149-0919 / Wii U: maximumzero / 3DS: 0860-3352-3335 / eBay Shop
Is there a quick way to look at all the sale items?
They had the $70 or $80 Capcom Bundle on sale for $12 for PS+ users. So yeah, it can pay for itself.
3DS: 1521-4165-5907
PS3: KayleSolo
Live: Kayle Solo
WiiU: KayleSolo
On your PSP if you hit New Releases on the PSN Store and then Special Offers it shows all the games discounted in the most recent update.
I'm also interested in the Daxter/Secret Agent Clank Dual-Pack but it seems to be UMD-only as I can't find it on the PSN store.
Switch: 6200-8149-0919 / Wii U: maximumzero / 3DS: 0860-3352-3335 / eBay Shop
Just a heads-up, but you can buy 1 year codes off eBay for around 30-35 bucks. The seller will just email you the code so that's a decent savings.
And the ps3 comes with a free month of PS+ in the box
I know 150mbs doesn't sound like much, but I have saves for nearly 30 games in the cloud and still have 60mb free.
edit: ForceVoid beat me to the cloud save thing.

I have never tried any of this, other than backing up my pro duo on my pc.
There's a more than good chance they'll be relaunching the comic store sometime this year but for PS3 and Vita instead.
Yeah, that's not a good idea. Just copy them off and either nest them in a named folder or create a text file with the default and real names. Or just get a Vita and rejoice in Mac support.
While I do intend to pick up a Vita someday, I'm holding out hope for a redesigned, smaller model.
Switch: 6200-8149-0919 / Wii U: maximumzero / 3DS: 0860-3352-3335 / eBay Shop
Really? Neat!
Maybe I'll save it for the Spring sale, whenever that is.
Yeah I'm saving mine for an FF blowout sale or a really good free title I can blow through in a month.

I'm pretty sure they burned through their stock of Sixaxis controllers a good while ago. Even the MGS4 bundle used to be packed with DS3s.
