Have a video game or or VG review? This is the place to to discuss it! We also accept discussions of board games and the like, but SHHH! Don't tell anyone, OK?

I think what he means is that he's in Korea. PSN isn't up there at all, unlike the US, where the service is up (so people can play games online and go to Home and whatnot), but we don't have the Store. I'm assuming he means once the US Store gets open again, he hopes that the Korean PSN will come back online so he can access the Store using his US account and get his gifts once the promotion starts.

In other words, the promotion hasn't started yet, but he is worried about the Korean PSN not coming up before the promotion is over. At least, I hope that's what he means, because if the promotion IS running right now and we can't get on the Store to take advantage of it, that's pretty frustrating.

Oh, okay. I knew he was in Korea, I just thought he meant the promotion currently is running. And if, in fact, it actually is, well . . . at this point I wouldn't be surprised. I still say I'm happier with my PS3 than I was with my 360 before it went ker-splodey, but come on. Someone should send Sony a reminder that their PSN service includes more than just the online play. Preferably one tied to a halfbrick and aimed in the general direction of Jack Tretton's groin.

Don't worry. I think if the promotion ends by the time Korea's PSN is up, they'll do a special promotion there. ;)

I also downloaded Little Big Planet, and am in the process of downloading inFamous.

Little Big Planet is okay I guess. It's kind of cool, sorta, but I wouldn't have paid money for it. I probably won't play much of it, might not even beat the single player unless I'm extremely bored. But yeah those were the only two games that interested me, and I'm not even going to bother with the PSP games because none of those interested me.

I'd have downloaded LBP and InFamous but the person I bought the PS3 off of had them both, so I got Stardust and my second free game glitched, so I only got one T.T (Not like I wanted WipEout or dead nation anyway...)

I already own LBP. Rented inFamous before, didn't like it. The only remaining one I'd be remotely interested in (if only because the title catches my interest) is Dead Nation. Waiting for the other freebies.

Meh, I got LBP and InFamous. The latter is kinda lame and... well, boring. LBP is really entertaining. I think its fun and can be addictive when I pick it up. But when I'm not playing, I don't have alot of motivation to go at it again. :/ So PSP games play on the play station now... has anyone tried downloading a PSP game to the PS3?

inFamous is...okay I guess. The character animations are awful, hideous, it really annoyed me especially at the beginning. Also, that Zeke guy is really annoying. Please tell me he dies a horrible painful death, because that would pretty much be the best thing they could do.

As far as the game itself, I keep dying on the bridge part near the beginning of the game. Enemies seem to take ridiculously stupid amounts of hits to kill. What, is my electricity power like two volts or something? I'll probably keep playing it, though. I don't hate it, at least, it's certainly better than Little Big Planet.

InFamous is alright... just seems kinda straightforward to me. It feels more restricted than Assassins Creed... but I think it really should feel more like Uncharted 2. I dunno... I just feel like it really is too easy to climb things and cross things. Meybe I just need to play through more... I know how the story ends so I don't have any plot twists to look forward to. But it still can be distracting enough. I am farther than Nate though. lol ;) :P Just teasing you Nate. I agree, the baddies are insanely tough when you are supposed to use electricity and all. :/

BTW does anyone want to share Game IDs?

I actually used to own the game when it first came out. I got bored of it pretty fast though. Apparently people say that the story itself is rewarding. But even with that, I'm not sure.

I know I'm not getting inFamous again. XD

The main character waddles around like he's got a saggy diaper that leaks. And his voice sounds like he gargles gravel every morning, but I guess that's how a "cool" protagonist character is supposed to sound. :/

On a different note, I thought Beyond Good & Evil HD was supposed to hit the PS Store today, but I don't see it. Anyone know what's up with that?

Oh... Nate... That was... So beautiful.

And still no PSN. I love Infamous, though... Except I feel bad trying to get the evil trophies. Infamous 2 looks better, though. I'm sure he'll have firey powers on Infamous 3. And then? WIND! Yes, that's right. Cole is the Avatar.

EDIT: Yes! Checked this morning, and PSN was on! I'm on right now, getting my free stuff, which is happening remarkably fast actually. Not only that, but I had a nearly lag-free video chat with a friend, and considering the TV itself has a bit of lag, that was really impressive. I think they really improved on PSN after the hack, which I'm happy for.

The Japanese store tells me I can't get into the store from my country, but otherwise I got 3 welcome back games on PS3. 2 from US store, one from UK store (Quest for booty) and my free PSN Plus account for a month. I'm gonna try the 60 minute trials. Should try wipeout with the free upgrades, too.
