PSN and Playstation Store giving errors aplenty this morning

Yeah, I think they should've delayed it a day, just to work out these kinks.

OliverKO4705d ago

Agreed - I don't think a single day would have made an enormous difference (unless the schedule of Sony and its partners ahead of E3 next week is too crazy and it had to go up today).

IRetrouk4705d ago

keep going back and then selecting whatever option you want, i have already downloaded everything that is free for plus, its to be expected, especialy with the amount of trafic thats going through the servers.

MaxXAttaxX4705d ago

Servers are pretty busy.

disturbing_flame4705d ago

It can also be the result of a strong affluence that make the servers very busy. Everyone want to access to the platform at the same time, it will need few hours to have a more fluid traffic on the PSS and then make the servers less busy.

Anyway i already purchased some of the games i want, no problem, it works and it was quite fast here in Europe.

MinusTheBear4705d ago (Edited 4705d ago )

Works mostly fine to me, errors are the effect of extremely heavy traffic.

LukaX234705d ago

I don't give FACK! I'm DLing the inFamous 2 demo right now and I'm going crazzzyyyyy waiting for it.

coryok4705d ago

this happens with every server that gets strain, these "kinks" arent very fixable unless theyre long term problems, which these most likely wont be.

its like intermittent power outages, if consumers want more energy than an energy company can produce people loose power; like energy hubs, server farms are constantly updated to stay ahead of demand, but theres always going to be a point where theres just too much demand to satisfy - in summer energy consumption is high, at launch the ps store consumption is high. power consumption will die down just as ps store usage will

Yeah I can't get in. As I've said elsewhere, as long as I can access the store properly by the time SSFIV:Arcade Edition hits next tuesday, I'm happy.

Baba19064705d ago

even though it has the errors you can still download stuff you just need to be patient.

claterz4705d ago

Managed to get onto the store after 4 attempts. That's the easy part over, because now I have to wait 8-10 hours until I can play the Infamous 2 demo lol. Yes my connection SUCKS.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5064d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905064d ago (Edited 5064d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5064d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5064d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495064d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5063d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5064d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
