Thanks glad it loads faster

downloading now

GribbleGrunger4099d ago (Edited 4099d ago )

How much faster does it load... haven't tried it yet. Everyone said it was faster with the last update but it didn't seem to make a difference to be honest. Not for me anyway.

edit: almost instant!? Is it available for Europe yet?

plaZeHD4099d ago (Edited 4099d ago )

Almost instantly.

MikeMyers4099d ago

Good to hear. Will try later.

KwietStorm_BLM4099d ago

The initial load was the same for me, but navigating around after that was significantly faster.

dbjj120884099d ago

Let's hope EVERYTHING on the PSN loads faster. Updating a game is still such a pain in the ass.

Pillsbury14099d ago

That will be fixed Next gen ;) ps4 life.

@yesmynameissumo
Wow! Was the a real potential commercial?

GraySnake4099d ago

Kinda sad I didn't get $10...:(

CaptainYesterday4099d ago

Yeah me too! I'm surprised I didn't get it I've been a PSN user since the PS3 launched and bought tons of games from the Playstation Store I guess I'm still not loyal enough. Maybe there's still hope though!

ABizzel14099d ago

@Captain

Are you a PS+ subscriber?

How many items have you downloaded?

How much do you play your PS?

Do you use other services like Netflix, Hulu, etc...?

I'm trying to find out what exactly was the criteria, because I got it as well as a few other friends and family members.

Brian1rr4099d ago

Did you check your psn inbox and not your personal email?

Omegabalmung4099d ago

kreate4098d ago (Edited 4098d ago )

I barely played games the last several months. Used ps3 as netflix and bought a few psn games for a few bucks with the ps plus(trial) discount that I still havnt played and I still got the 10 bucks.

Trophy level 14. Same account since early 2007.

Dont know if that helps.

problemchild844098d ago

I received the $10, I wonder if it may have something to do with the registration cards you get in the box when you buy a console, and whether or not you filled them out and sent them in.

I know I have filled out and sent in mine from my PS1,PS2,PSP, and PS3. Perhaps that is why?

Microsoft once tried to nab LittleBigPlanet from Sony after a few drinks

It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow3d ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo1823d ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie2d ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

Lying to yourself is unbecoming.

Article link tells you all you need to know in Sarah Bond's own words.

Hereandthere2d ago

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

ApocalypseShadow1d 16h ago

At least you and others get it. Note drank the Kool aid and asked for seconds thinking it was refreshing.

Most don't even know how it all played out but it's there in black and white for all to see. Microsoft brought it up for years until the MLB forced Sony's hand. It was a win win for Microsoft. Kill one reason to buy a PlayStation or kill the game by dropping it in a cheap service to kill Sony's sales numbers on PlayStation.

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

Cockney1d 10h ago

They chose well, Sony gave them the backing to pursue their dreams with no restrictions even tho their games especially dreams have very niche appeal. Media molecule and Sony deserve respect for this in an age of risk averse publishing.

RNTody3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno3d ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Inverno3d ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

fsfsxii2d ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno2d ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
