    So, with Plus, how do you set up the auto-download feature? I had heard that was something it could do.

    It's in Settings/System Settings. There will be a yellow plus icon next to it.

    You can set what time you want your PS3 to turn on and download as well.

    I'm still debating on whether or not I should get PSN Plus, but to be honest automatic downloading isn't really much of a selling point for me.

    Alright god damn it sony will not allow me to give them my money. I double checked their rules for typing in a billing address, I double checked and character for character used the address my bank had on file and it still wouldn't take it. And there's no way to troubleshoot since you get locked out of doing anything after two or three unacceptable address attempts.

    I finally went to my bank and updated my address which takes two days so we'll see what happens... but seriously Sony's billing setup is pretty messed up

    TerRover is awesome and people should buy it. (Spoiler for stuff I feel I should say about it that distracts from my original point)
    It's a great physics platform game. Very much like Gish and Loco Roco. Controls are a bit tough to learn at first, but their worth it. Some levels will test your patience though, so I feel there should be a pretty fair warning on it. What's worse is that you can spend 10 minutes trying to do one thing, then suddenly you get it done in one other try, only taking seconds.

    To warn again, patience required, but well worth it.

    I didn't like Suikoden much, but it's a very well made RPG. It's definitely worth picking up for $3, because if you like it you'll probably love it, and if you don't like it you're only out three bucks.

    I was able to pick up a £20 European PSN card online, so I am currently downloading Outrun Online Arcade, Front Mission 3, and Kurushi Final (Intelligent Qube), all of which are not available on the US PSN. Suck it, licensing.

    I actually own a physical copy of Front Mission 3, but it'll be nice to be able to leave it in it's case, as well as being able to play it on the PSP if I ever end up rebuying one.

    I gave serious consideration to buying Party Time with Winnie the Pooh, however.

    Suikoden's a good game. A bit dated and I remember the translation being kinda eh but still good.

    Now Suikoden 2 on the other hand, is one of the best RPG's ever. And if you've got a Suikoden 1 completed save handy, it's even more awesome.

    Oh man, I was under the understanding that European PS1 games purchased from the PSN would work fine on a US PS3 as long as it was displaying in high def, but even though I'm outputting a 1080p signal through HDMI I still get an error that says "You cannot play this game at the current video output setting. (80028f10)", which is the generic error code that is displayed when you are trying to play 50hz PAL games on a 60hz NTSC TV.

    Googling the error code seems to result in a lot of people having the problem with SDTVs, but no one having the problem with HDTVs.

    Lame.

    Got a pretty big update here for The Drop.
    PlayStation Network

    Worms 2: Armageddon — Featuring an in-depth single-player Campaign Mode, Tutorials and Firing Ranges along with multi-player online and offline game modes, it is now even easier to jump in and get involved with the world of Worms, with full trophy support and customization options.

    My Aquarium — Owners can choose the fish that will live in their aquarium and what decorations they’ll get to enjoy. You can choose the glass color, lighting, background design, style of gravel, rocks, or plant life for the world their fish will inhabit and can mix and match different fish in up to 6 individual aquariums.

    Space Invaders Infinity Gene — Space Invaders is back with a new twist! Unlock new stages, new power ups, and new features. Challenge Mode pits you against 99 randomly-created stages. And Music Mode generates custom stages based on music stored on your console.

    PlayStation Classics

    Soviet Strike — The Soviet Union has crumbled into tiny pieces. With security measures being taken for granted, terrorists seize upon the opportunity to steal nuclear warheads and it’s up to you to stop them. Strap yourself behind the controls of a Super Apache attack helicopter and fly into five different Eastern European regions.

    PlayStation minis

    Caterpillar — Is a fast-paced, arcade / puzzle game that pits you against relentless caterpillars. Your only weapons are your quick reflexes and creativity. With four exciting game modes matched with three different skill levels, you’ll enjoy virtually unlimited gameplay.

    Panda Craze — Your goal is to help Tik-Ling make it home to her Bamboo Forest. But watch out, as Evil Zoo Keepers keep popping up all over the place trying to capture her. Enjoy seventy-five levels of puzzle / platform action which will challenge both your reflexes and your creativity as you use quick moves and tools to slip away from those dastardly Zoo Keepers!

    Also listed as far as PSP games go is, Phantasy Star Portable 2, Gladiator Begins and Cabela’s North American Adventures. I would imagine PSP2 and Gladiator Begins would both go up on the store Tuesday, but dunno explicitly at this point.

    i wonder how soviet strike holds up? i was a pretty big fan of the old strike games on the snes, but i never played the ps1 iteration(s?). that series could use a reboot i think, but only if they stuck with the isometric style.

    Seriously PSN still won't accept that my cards are in fact valid. It's even worse since you can only try three times within a 24 hour period to change your billing. I have $16 left on a network card but just want a damn card attached so I don't have to worry about the stupid unnecessary middle man that is the wallet.

    I already own a disc only copy that is in pretty bad shape. I got it from a friend who didn't take very good care of his stuff. I'd gladly pay five bucks to not have to worry about something happening to my only copy.

    Why do you doubt you'll ever play it? It's an incredible game.

    Double-dipped on Monkey Island Special Edition. Been waiting for it to come down in price so I could have it on PS3 rather than PC.

    I've never had problems with the wallet on PSN before, but it's pissing me off now. I bought that PSP golf Mini a couple weeks ago for $1, which made me put $5 in my wallet, so I had $4.01 left. Now that wasn't enough for Monkey Island, so I had to put another $5 in so I could buy a $4.99 game. Now I have $4.02 in my wallet. This is stupid.

    My understanding is that credit card companies charge a flat rate plus a percentage of the total transaction to process an order, so if a card company is charging $0.15 plus 3% and you buy an avatar for $0.50, you've significantly cut into the profit margin. Not so much if you buy a $10 game.

    This is why most convenience stores have a minimum limit for debit/credit purchases, usually $3 or $5. It's also why XBLA and Virtual Console/WiiWare use points.

    PSN's minimum purchase amount is $5, so if you want to buy a PS1 game at $5.99 you can pay $5.99, but if you want to buy a theme for $0.99, you have to be charged $5, and have the remainder in your wallet.

    Hey guys, did you know that My Aquarium lets you take screenshots and video of your aquariums? Yeah, you can even upload the video to Youtube ingame.

    I figured SotN at $5 would get some people talking and buying. Like I said before, get on it this week if you want it, since last week's stuff (At least, Suikoden, am on the PSP store at the moment) is back to normal.

    Speaking of the PSP store, has anyone played What Did I Do to Deserve This, My Lord?! 2 and/or Fat Princess: Fistful of Cake? Considering we have WDIDTDT,ML and Fat Princess for PS3 on the recommended list, I was considering putting both of them in as well, but I've not heard, well, anything on them.

    Edit: Started my sprucing up of the Games post of the OP. Added a What's New part that I'm still thinking out, some games (mostly Unco's suggestions) and fixed a few prices. If there's anything incorrect (Price, Missing Features, Features that are wrong) and there likely will be, just let me know so I can fix it up.

    But we do get Space Invaders: Infinity Gene, lots of sports demos and the Enslaved demo.
    There's also some Move games and a lot of Move demos.

    Not a lot for the PSP bar a mini and a price reduction on a nearly four year old game that's kinda pointless.

    As usual there's Rock Band, LBP and ModNation etc. DLC that I didn't put on the list cos I'm lazy today.
