Ok, so i got the 1.90 Burnout Paradise update, took me 7 hours to download all 7 parts and now, when i start the game it just stays on the screen Paradise City-Big Surf Island & loading forever.

 

I have no clue why is it like that tried 2 times so far, and will try more. Maybe It's because i am charging the controller, maybe because i played the game before i did the updates and have a save file, dunno, but this should not happen. Maybe it's just the disc being un-clean.

 

Help?

With all the talk about upgrading hard drive size I’m wondering how much is on my own. Is there a simple thing/option to select that will tell me how much room I have taken up and what remains or is there an alternative?

Go to settings on the XMB then go to system settings then system information, it should tell you how much space is taken up and how much remains.

I've now got 346gb left!

 

Of course I put all my backed up music and stuff on it from the external.

 

I'm glad I get to buy new games and install games without having to delete others.

Exactly what I want as well. I don't have to keep deleting/reinstalling games when I get my new HDD.

[asimov]

I've got an 80GB drive, I don't have to delete games when I get rid of them, but I do anyway. I don't have any music or movies stored on there either, until sony releases a patch that lets us play music in any game I won't bother.

Is that going to happen? It'd be friggin' awesome if Sony would enable it.

Sony already has it enabled from what I've heard, it's up to the developers to choose if they want the option in their game or not.

Microsoft patented the idea to play music over games on a console. Sony's only option is for devs to patch it into the games.

[asimov]

I'll just direct my bitterness towards Sony, it's easier that way.

 

I'm downloading the ninja gaiden Sigma demo right now, I've never seen this game in the shops though. The videos of it look awesome, plus I've heard it's one of the hardest games on the PS3. I can't see how anything could match up to Wipeout, that game is stupidly hard.

[DemonKing]

Right well my new HDD works like a charm.

 

But I'm having a issue. Now I have the space I obviously want to dowload DLC and such, and for that I need to update my billing info. I enter the credit card details in, but when I get to the billing address it says it's not correct.

 

Can anyone help me?

[Tommy-Vercetti19]

Have you filled every line on the Address?

 

Use the style of address you have on a bank statement like.

 

8 blah road

blahstown

blahs ville

Blahsworld.

 

 

Just check the address on a bank statement sheet.

[DemonKing]

So I put my city in address line 2, instead of the city part?

 

E.g.

 

1 Downsley Place

Croydon NT45 FR8

United Kingdom

That's not your real address is it?

[Tommy-Vercetti19]

Yeah, Something along that.

If you have a bank statement of bill just use the address printed on that. But that one you already listed should be alright.

[DemonKing]

Eh they locked me out yesterday so I'm going to have to try it later today. Ima just try a different card. If that doesn't work I'll just make a Sony support worker cry.

Firmware 2.80 is coming! And it does... Nothing. Unless you count "The playback quality of some PLAYSTATION 3 format software has been improved" as a major feature, there has to be more to it, since if that was all it does it would have been 2.76, or something like that.

 

Still sucks that there was no 3.00 at E3.

[macorules94]

Made a better version of the PS3 YLOD song

 

 

 

EDIT: f*ck

 

Every time I record something, it sounds perfect through Earphones, and it f*cking creaks and cracks through speakers

 

So, I bought a $300 STUDIO MICROPHONE and it STILL DOES THE SAME sh*t

 

Faarkk

 

Any tips?

yep, the 2.80 is put up for download now, just go to system update under Settings and update via internet.

it should pop up

Not a good idea...

[asimov]

I've just been playing the Ninja Gaiden Sigma demo, holy crap this game is awesome. I can definetly see why people call this one of the PS3's hardest games. I've never seen it in shops so I'll probably have to order it online.

Weird, I just got off my PS3 and it didn't prompt me to update at all.

You do realise that's not my actual address right? Not even sure if it exists, Croydon does of course

 

So another pointless firmware update that takes 30 hours to download? Woop.

Heh, I didn't know there were updates like that.

 

Anybody notice anything new in the update?

[Slamman]

Playback quality of software could be as important as curing game freeze burps, pretty dang important, dude!

[DemonKing]

I want to know when the Fallout 3 DLC will hit the PSN store?

 

And how much do you think it will be?

They said Anchorage would release 'late June', and the last proper Store update is... Today. They also said they'd patch Fallout 3 to work with the DLC before Anchorage released, but that hasn't happened yet, as far as I know.

 

So, unless they do one of those special one item updates (Like the RE5 demo) after today, it's been delayed. Would have been nice to hear some more about it other than it's releasing late June.

[Slamman]

Even on YouTube videos, there's some bias about the PSN versus Live, the battle waged rages on with regard to those who feel Sony is keeping up on the tech end. I feel they may still lag

I don't believe it will.
