Some people are trying to get dual booting for CFW and OFW.
If that happens I hope Sony will let those users still use PSN.
I mean on OFW they'd most likely be playing legit games and would have the opportunity to continue paying for Sony's service.
I mean, you can't even pirate most PSN games and DLC. Sony would just lose sales cutting these people off.

The only reason to ban hackers is to scare people from hacking, but only people really looking for that will be able to hack since you can only hack 3.55 and under right now, so there's not much to scare other than people who don't care about PSN.

Only people I think should be banned is cheaters. And only from the specific games they cheat in. Sony is wasting their money and cutting off profits. Nice move.

I hope you stay banned forever, Pokebis.

This is awesome. Fucking great. It's pretty awesome that the legit users get to suffer just because there are assholes using their system. And now those fucking Anonymous guys are getting involved? Things just keep getting better.

I think that actually is a point in our favour (I'm reading sarcasm in this). Once the PS3 was hacked Sony went trigger happy. I did some reading from some of the hacker groups, and there is/was a program that you could run which would spoof your PS3 serial number. If you knew the serial number of someone else's PS3 and got caught cheating while running that spoofer, you could get someone else banned rather than yourself. So basically, assuming this was true, Sony wasn't trying off the bat to solve the problem but to put a bandage over it. And the bandage is made of asbestos.

What they're currently doing vs what they were doing before security was breached is far worse. According to the PS3 EULA, Sony has the right, if they deem necessary (read: if they feel like it) to push silent updates to the console without any user input/consent (the consent was in the EULA). This in itself does not appear to be a problem since the silent updates are done in a non-intrusive way, however, if something goes wrong in an update (such as power failure) there's a risk of bricking the system. So apparently, Sony can accidentally brick your system if you leave it connected. And I'm pretty sure it's also written that they take no responsibility/liability if that happens, so you're out to sea.

So it has gotten to the point where a bit of (very) bad luck could mean the equivalent of a RROD, but Anon's involvement may resolve some of the unethical practices Sony's doing right now.

On the other hand, if failed updates don't harm the system, I'm more-so okay with it. I doubt this is the case (and Sony themselves warn that the system might not power up if it is abruptly shut off during an update).

I don't see what's so difficult about a failsafe. A failed firmware update should not brick any system. The BIOS should be smart enough to check for errors and restore a backup that is on permanent storage to protect against something like that.

You can fuck your PC up, but you can't brick it. The same should apply to all current and future technology

In the case of the hackers that's like saying it's pirate's fault DRM is in games. Sure they put it in games to help prevent piracy (you'd be stupid if you think it actually does), but the fact of the matter is pirates will circumvent these systems nearly immediately and only the end user (legit) suffers. This is over-optimistic implementations from corporations that do anything but help their sales. Pirates are not the ones implementing it, however.

Sony, as a corporation, made choices to implement their own systems, hackers pushed nothing onto you. And lots of hackers aren't "assholes" many are acting upon broken promises from Sony (Other-OS support), seeking of information (finding out how the PS3 ticks), and some just want to stick-it-to-the-man (which happens to be Sony).

I don't blame Sony for trying to protect their IPs, but they've been doing it very, very wrong. But it's them doing it wrong, not the hackers.

Of course the Anonymous attacks are indeed assholery. Can't really argue that and feel bad for you there.

Just got a pile of games. Darksiders, Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands, and Swarm. I'll probably get Spare Parts soon, too. Also, I got Sonic Colors, but whatever. That's the only one I've played so far.

Darksiders is pretty good.
I didn't know Colors was on the PS3.

Uh, it's not. That's why I tacked it on at the end there. I got it for the Wii. Anyway, I beat Swarm today. Kind of a demanding game sometimes. Like you have to be perfect during some levels and during the bosses just to simply beat the game. But there's only 10 levels and 2 bosses, so it's not too bad. Wasn't really worth the $15 though.

So I just got done with Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands. I have to say that I was thoroughly surprised. I thought for sure it'd be a generic, mediocre game with little creativity, but God damn, it was actually pretty decent. It's miles better than that 2008 Prince of Persia ever was. It's got some of the best platforming I've seen in a while. I wouldn't have paid $60 for it, but it's worth the $18 I spent on it.

Also, Spare Parts was halfway decent for a $10 PSN game.

I pre-ordered Portal 2 for PS3 yesterday, and I'm picking it up tomorrow. What, an FPS for the PS3, when it's also available for the PC?

Seems retarded, but I only did so because the PS3 version comes with the PC version. So I can play local co-op until my friend gets himself a copy of it and we can play on PC.

Yeah, the PS3 version rocks like that. I know another guy who's doing the same thing you're doing. I would get Portal 2 today, but I'm still broke from all of the other games I've been getting and I'm still only halfway through Darksiders right now. This game is pretty friggin' decent, too, by the way.

My PSN is exactly the same as my username here.
The games I own are:
Marvel VS Capcom 3
Transformers: War For Cybertron
Final Fantasy XIII
Mortal Kombat
I don't play games online unless they have co-op features. I became tired of playing against people who only know how to cheat in order to win.

My copy of Mortal Kombat despatched yesterday. Can't wait to get my hands on it, no idea who I should main though. The huge amount of content makes me want to sell MvC3.

Looks like online's been down since yesterday. A PSN blog said it will take a day or two before it's fixed.

If Anonomous is attacking again, I wonder if this will become a common occurence?

I don't think it's anon.
They're doing their best not to affect the PSN, I think this is maintenance or a big mistake or something.

Argh, this is awful.

Entire day ruined.

I feel bad for all the Portal 2 co-op users right now. I need to convince a friend to get this game cause co-op sounds pretty fun.

Platted Ar tonelico Qoga a few days ago.
It's nice to get away from all the turn-based games I've been playing.
The game has kept me excited for 96 hours before I had to wait 4 more to get the last 100 hour trophy.

If I had RL friends to play with, I'd get Mortal Kombat. Other than that, not interested. Lol, online pass for 10 dollars?
Haven't really been interested in the Portal series since I'm not a particular fan of Valve. I'd like to give Portal 2 a try when I get it some day.

Going to get Arcana Heart 3 when the PSN goes back online.

PSN has been down for about 3 days now(on the weekend, perfect timing). Does anyone know when it will be operational again?

The easter weekend.
Follow the twitter or blog.
I want to play Portal 2 goddamnit.

Apparently Anon isn't really attacking them, Sony is just shutting down because they're afraid of anon's attacks. Whelp.

Anyways, the new Mortal Kombat is surprisingly good. I actually think it's better than SSF4. It actually feels a lot like SSF4 in terms of pace, but it feels a lot more flexible. Not quite as good as MvC3, though.

I blame you, Pokebis.

I affect thousands.

Didn't stop me. I bought the PS3 version so I could play co-op with my friends, and that's what I've been doing. Since it's not necessary to play co-op on PSN. Gogo split screen/irl friends

Moreover, if you want to play online and you have the PS3 version, you can still load it on your PC and play online via steam.

You just answered a bunch of questions that I hadn't gotten around to asking yet. It's nice to use your psychic powers for good.

Better get some new credit cards (and maybe change your name).

capital gg

problem is, some of the information that was stolen is a mystery to me. I don't know what my security question is. I don't know what the answer to that is, either, though I could probably figure it out if I knew the question.

Good thing my password re-use is very low, so the password that was probably stolen doesn't work in many places.

I used fake information for most of my PSN account info, used a really old password that I don't use anymore, and never used a credit card, only bought PSN credits.
Does this make me lucky?

the information was compromised a while ago, right? So chances are, anything that was going to be done might be done already

Though I still have shit to keep an eye on

Well, crap. I can't remember if I used my generic password or a unique one....

Then again even if they have my passwords I'd like to see them get their hands on any of my usernames/numbers for anything I really care about. As for credit card... well being a debit credit kinda helps here, can't lose anything if I have nothing to lose XD.


Anyway - I assume someone here is PS3 savvy, is there any cheap/easy way to get either screenshots or video recordings off your PS3. Ie, I play a game and want to record my boss fight or something.

Capture card comes into mind but that's probably not the cheapest nor the easiest method.

So I called my bank today because of the breach, and I got as far as "I'm calling in response to the recent Playst-" before he interrupted me. I probably could have just said "PSN" after hello and he'd have completely gotten my meaning, hah

Today I learned that my bank has a pretty awesome fraud policy in place, though, so I'm not going to lose any money even if my card gets used for something.

I learned that Sony knew about the compromise about a week before they actually informed everyone so whoever caused the breach has a huge head start on doing anything with that information. I never registered my credit card on my profile and everything except my email and password is false information so I consider myself very fortunate.

I read earlier today that people tend to only be paranoid for about 90 days after learning about something like this, so it's entirely possible that the data just isn't going to be used until people stop caring about it.

I realized earlier today that pretty much all my PSN information other than my name/email is wrong. I've moved twice since I created my account, so all that address information is useless. And since 77 million accounts have been compromised, it's probably gonna take a while before yours gets used. Every time that DB is queried, there's a 1/77000000 chance it's you (actually odds are probably higher for those of us with CC info up there)

In other news, Sony's been hit with a class action lawsuit, they hope to have PSN back up by the 30th, and with any luck they're going to try to have a better relationship with their customers from now on

Portal 2 is fucking awesome. I did some local co-op today and that was freakin' fun. It's a good feeling when you have to think about a puzzle and the solution just comes to you and it totally works. Also, I underestimated how hilarious this game is.

Got a source for this? All I've been hearing is that they hope to have "some" services up in maybe a week.

This article echos a few claims from Sony (apparently through Kotaku, but when following the source link I just get a "main page" on Kotaku, not the actual article) which suggests so:

Sony Online Entertainment says that it has a number of special events planned to thank players of the PS3 versions of DC Universe Online and Free Realms for their patience while work continues on getting PSN back up and running.

These events will commence on Saturday 30th April, although that is presumably reliant on PSN being back in action by then

though I don't care about PSN being down; nothing good is coming out of the Rock Band store these days and I've been too glued to Persona 4 to even play Portal 2 (which I don't use PSN for anyway, I'm just saiyan). So the fact that the PSN has been down for the past week or two hasn't actually affected me in any way yet.

It's 2011, you should have played Persona 4 several years ago.

You should be sharing in our collective misery.

I still haven't gotten around to finishing Persona 3 8-) ;_;
Haven't played my PS3 in ages either thanks to my PSP...

Then get rid of all your shitty psp games and play persona 3 portable instead.

You guys disgust me.

lol sony

I bought Persona 3 FES and Persona 4 for the PS2 a couple days ago, so I'm tempted to do a second run of P4 (thanks for having various branching paths, Atlus. I can't have everything can I) before cracking open P3.


Apparently the new estimate for PSN is May 3. And yet I still don't care~

Even when the PSN is up, I pretty much only use the store aspect. I've played RB2 with Rolled a few times (hey Rolled I have RB3 now just fyi) but that's mostly it for me.

I don't remember any significant branching paths in persona 4, unless you mean shit like basketball team/ whatever the other shitty one was.

Well, I guess you'd have to do a second run for the optional boss fight anyway.

Also, you should have played FES before P4. Actually, it probably won't be much of an issue for you to play 3 after 4, it's just lacking a few refinements from P4. And while you could technically play p3p for those improvements, you'd be missing out on cutscenes, exploring the town and the Answer (though some may say that's more of a blessing than a curse). Actually, you'd have to play p3p eventually anyway just for the female route.

Man, you have a lot of persona ahead of you.

Yeah I'm gonna play them backward. I don't know the difference between P2 Innocent Sin and P2 the other one, but I've got P2IS on my PSP.

Having said that, yeah, I may well go play P3P, but I'm undecided whether I'll do that before P2 or after. We'll see how P3FES hits me. And yeah, I am referring to things like who you become intimate with (in my case it was actually two girls, and I didn't think that was allowed) and sports/arts clubs. I didn't even finish some of the social links (Yumi, Ai, Hisano, Margaret, Kanji) that I did start. Also, I never found the temperance social link. I'm guessing it's Bro Konishi, but he can really go fuck himself for all I care.

I'm still in the process of chasing Izanami in my own personal world but I've got mothra-fucking Beelzebub on my side now, so it should be even more one-sided than it already has been thus far.

Should I feel like a genius for being one step ahead of the mystery/Investigation Team, or was the game just well-written enough to be obvious, but not obvious about being obvious? I didn't use a FAQ for any of it, but I was ahead of the curve for every single one of the plot twists except that until the morning of the last abduction, I had no suspects. But man, I knew Nanako was in trouble like a week before it happened. That one was totally obvious.

If you're stupid and end up getting the bad ending, do you at least get a full dungeon out of it, or do your lousy decisions just go "oh, well, that's everything: you win!"? Because the midnight channel made it look like there was a dungeon involved. One where I could find a new Dousing Rod which I need for a Quest. That'd be kinda douchey.

Minecraft world is pretty cool.

Also, yes, I found out how to get the true ending on my own, but this was after I didn't get the true ending and read up on the Internet that I did, in fact, not get the true ending, and that you can't lock the true ending out if you get to the ending.

The ending really did feel like a candidate for the true ending, as long as you don't mind a handful of loose ends never being tied up or explained, which would have defeated the moral behind the ENTIRE GAME

I'm pretty sure Bro Konishi was Hanged. I think Temperance was day care mother (with annoying kid).

I think you should have started being super suspicious about halfway through, I think around Rise's affair. Then there's always the classic video game logic deduction methods, ie which characters have assets that they probably shouldn't considering their current involvement. But that's a pretty gay way to play a murder mystery and a really gay way to play games in general.

As for bad endings, you just cut to a depressing ending scene (or a scene that leaves you with questions unanswered).


Also, Ishtar owns, Trumpeter is as ridiculous as ever, and Yoshitsune is fucking broken/op as hell.

Oh I didn't do Daycare either. Fuck that.

Anyhow, I got the super true ending. It was kind of funny, as I was fighting the first phase of the Truth I thought to myself, that mechanic where your allies take a mortal blow for you is actually a pretty emotional thing, game mechanics aside. They really should have put that in the final battle. And they did.

The credits are rolling right now. I'm not sure whether it's my PS2 or my burned copy of Persona 4 (the legit one's in the mail atm) but the loading time between now and the 3.5 weeks ago when I started playing have quadrupled. Hell, just two nights ago I'd cleared the game, and during the credits, the video/BGM would skip a bit, and by sheer luck, the audio ended juuust as the credits did.

Going through it again, my disc reading can't keep up with the buffer consumption worth a damn. The actual credits (the copyright Atlus 1996, 2008 message) scrolled and faded about seven minutes ago, but the PS2 is still struggling with streaming the videos/audio. It's funny, because every time the PS2 stops to read more content into the buffer, the train stops. It's gotta be a really irritating ride, that one.

I thought this thread was about the PS3. If you silly mods don't get back on topic I'm going to, uhhhhh.

No, this thread is about the Playstation 3 Club, of which we are all members.

Yeah, I talk about Wii games on here sometimes. But if someone without a PS3 came in here talking about Halo or something, then they're in the wrong thread.

besides, Persona 4 is awesome

and 3 is probably also awesome, I'll find out soon enough

And anybody could have placed that there. Including disgruntled employees or hackers looking to frame.

Pokebis wrote:

frame would definitely be a good idea, considering the FBI is after the perp

That would make sense, but it also seems like something that Anonymous would totally do. The whole ominous bullshit thing. Then again, they usually don't mind publicly stating that they totally did it.

In any case, Portal 2 co-op was fucking beeeeast. Those puzzles are awesome. Can't wait for that DLC.

Everyone forgets Anonymous isn't actually a group, but a handle that people can use literally. As in, it's an actual word and stuff.
Point in the end is, the original Anon DDoS group are not the hackers period.

PSN's supposed to be up this weekend, and the people who attacked it are planning to, well, attack it again, apparently. Or maybe some other Sony servers (in which case PSN will probably be okay).

Sony still hasn't said what "free downloads" entails, but if they're not retarded, it should consist of "money added to your Wallet" so you can download whatever the fuck you want rather than some obscure title less than 100% of the people want.

Back on Persona 4, my legal copy arrived in the mail the other day, and I've noticed that the soundtrack CD is missing the last two tracks from the Truth. No, missing isn't the right word. They're just hidden. Accepting them as missing would be a convenient truth, but if I look hard enough I might be able to find them.

They're going to be retarded, because they know they can save more money by forcing a shit title on members instead of having them save money on the expensive stuff. Also, where did you hear that it'll be up this weekend?

And another update. Sony no longer has any clue how long it's going to take.

People were doubting me when I said that this could kill the Playstation brand, but the longer it goes on, the more likely it looks.

PSN didn't exist the first two generations and it was successful enough.
Provide good software support and people will buy it. Network ain't everything.

The soundtrack packaged with the game omitted a lot of songs. I think they threw half the soundtrack there and the other half was available for purchase or something.

Atlus and some other companies do this quite a bit. They throw in a "sampler" disc with half the tracks from the game and it's worse when the sampler is in the special edition...
Still slightly bitter that Disgaea 2 didn't come with all the tracks.

The problem is that online console gaming wasn't a big deal then. Now nearly every game on the console integrates it deeply in some way, and players aren't getting the full experience for their 60 bucks. People are already pissed and are getting more pissed with every announcement. Even if they survive this, they're never going to be the same again.

In a couple months, provided it goes back up and there's no further trouble, I'm sure everyone will forget about it completely.

I'll probably be getting RB3 soonish. I've finally gone through most of the games I wanted to play and RB3 is finally at a decent price. But there are a lot of really decent games coming out soon, too, like LA Noire. But since RB3 is so cheap, I can get it and just play it every now and then or whatever.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU WON'T"

ps: I am terrible at pro keys I get like 4 stars average on medium /flex

when playing non-pro Keys I jumped right to expert and was Gold-Star'ing everything. That stuff's pretty easy.

Very easy indeed, and I think you are better than me at pro keys. Haven't played it for a long time though.

Haven't played because the laser deck failed in my ps3, and before I knew that was the problem, I tried all kinds of fancy things including formatting the HD. Haven't been arsed to re-download 300 songs, but I'll get around to it Not to mention I sold all my old fucking games. No idea how I'm going to export. Rrrrgh

Is anybody excited about LA Noire? Just 9 days left. Also, I feel sorry for Brink since it's a mostly online-based game that's probably gonna be released to the PS3 with no online.

I'm excited about it but not excited enough about it to pay over 25 bucks for it.

This just gives me a pretty damned decent excuse to not spend $60 on Brink just yet. And hell, maybe now I'll have the time to finally play TWEWY or something.

Alright, anyone else excited, i've been looking forward to this for awhile, and was like "what? gameplay video!!!"

Though, that doesn't state whether they plan to restore it before or after May 31st.

That Shadows of the Damned video is old as sin, dude. I've been waiting for that game since E3 2010.

New PS3 update is live. PSN is coming back up very, very soon. Time for things to get back to the status quo.

Edit: Or at least, you know, some of it is back. The Store isn't back yet, which kinda sucks cause Honest Hearts for Fallout is coming out on Tuesday. Also, my LA Noire DLC needs the Store.

I wonder when Australia will get PSN back up and running... all I've seen is a firmware update that hasn't done anything yet

Knowing our track record though, we'll be after every other region.

America's turned on. Europe's next. Austrailia's third followed by New Zealand, then the Middle East. Every country should be connected by the end of the month apparently.

Yay, it's down again! Thanks, Sony.

What are you talking about? It looks pretty online to me. The only ones who got the PSN turned off again temporarily were Europe and the Middle East and such.

Wow I can get Wipeout for free? That basically counterbalances the outage for me XD

I guess inFAMOUS is good too.

Oh~ Look whats back in action~ :3

Hmm, of the five free games, I own 2 and was only interested in one other, so:

Dead Nation, or Super Stardust HD? I'll have to find out what either of those are, but Dead Nation sure sounds like a zombie game.

I hear Super Stardust HD is an asteroids-type game.

Not sure what I'm going to get yet, but I am sure I'm not going to get LBP. Though I do have a few accounts on my ps3 so maybe I can just get the other four.

I'll probably just get Dead Nation and Super Stardust HD. No point in letting a giveaway go to waste. If I were more into racing, I might get Wipeout HD.

Anyway, I just picked up LA Noire and they have this reeeally neat thing. There's this Badge Pursuit challenge that came with my copy. There's this envelope in the game box that has these 7 photograph negative film strip thingies that basically show you where each badge is in the game. That's such a neat way of doing a scavenger hunt.

I'll just wait until Media Go is back online in Australia. If it goes back online.

PSN store please, I want some more RB songs

It's scheduled for next Tuesday. At least in North America.

Just learned the hard way that LA Noire doesn't autosave (the only way to save) as often as I would like. Just spent hours last night trying to find some really annoying and elusive cars just to have my progress not fucking save.

So I beat LA Noire yesterday. That's probably one of the best games I've ever played. Totally worth the $60.

Anyway, I thought the Store would be back today, but apparently that's not gonna happen. Should be up before June though.

Yeah.

I wish I had more to say in this thread. But that store needs to go up.

There's a wizardry game coming out over PSN that I've been craving for a few weeks and its been held up in all this bullshit.
