thanks sony keep it up guys!
XD him for example
LMFAO Predictable response #0001: OMG Go to the Xbox forums, XBOT.
Too funny.
Only time I buy crap from PSN is when it’s for a game I actually like(a rarity nowadays) that adds a ton of real story to the game. If it’s just some $10-15 minigame compilation then it’s still crap. Even then I only buy PSN cards and only when places like Best Buy give me free Reward Zone certificates for complaining about how rude a cashier or manager was.
I think this deserves a new Kevin Butler commercial!
First off most of us DONT waste our money on that, we all know its cheap but this is a business their running, they want the money and i dont blame em honestly, atleast they give us the choice to buy or to play though unlike Xbox. And honestly you just admitted to mooching free cards by complaining to stores -.- do you have any idea how low that makes you look? And my troll comment holds, cuz only a troll could manage to mooch multiple cards off stores by whining about issues with their stuff.
Kevin Butler commercial would be absolutely hilarious for this, i can see it now……. no i cant but it would be hilarious
PIaystation3Sux, thats really lame and low even, im coming to agree with Falken08 for that one. since i lost $150 to playstation since the cards weren’t working..
Actually the cards that I didn’t grab with cheap RZ certificates I picked up by using credit I made from taking games I bought from one store very cheap and selling them to Best Buy’s trade program for 3-4x what I paid.
It’s called being a smart consumer. Both of my PS3’s I’ve had(a 40gb in 2008 and a 120gb now) I bought in about the same way.
As for the ‘whining’ I suppose you have NEVER complained about your service ANYWHERE and received some form of compensation? That’s not being very smart then, since allowing people to continue being rude to customers will only beget more rudeness.
But as for the choice between buying and playing I’m assuming you’re talking about having to pay for XBL versus PSN or PSN+(which is a ripoff since all your ‘free’ stuff goes away if you don’t re-up your sub). If you’re a smart enough consumer you know where to find sales on XBL or even PSN cards to pay for PSN+ so you’ll never pay MSRP.
Sorry to hear that patience, iv never even heard of that happening, wouldnt be surprised if its partly due to the [DELETED] who keep spreading the used codes over playstation messages, whoever starts those things really needs either a psychologist cuz their head aint quite right, or a life for various and obvious reasons
lol, sorry but thats basically legal resale, which is basically still being cheap as hell man, and your not complaining about service, your complaining about prices on a thread about security. And what i mean is, you can play online without paying a dime, you dont HAVE to buy and download the things on PSN store. Their just there as crowd pleasers and money makers.
Why can’t they just brick the hackers ps3 system like Apple did with there iphones?
@PatienceofKaori…
I take it you didn’t go back to the store or wherever you bought the cards from and asked why they weren’t working. Maybe they just forgot to activate them. It’s a simple mistake. I know I certainly would not just shrug off a $150 loss.
and uh… you didnt say you were using that system, what i read was “when places like Best Buy give me free Reward Zone certificates for complaining about how rude a cashier or manager was” <—-
That comment would be the comment i was referring to when i said thats low….and…it still is
Yeah thats a good point, i really wouldnt leave that one unsettled, if you payed you need to contact either the store or tech if for some reason the store wont help you
Actually Falken I’ve been complaining about these fluff updates for a while now, so much so that comments on another PSN name I used to come onto the blog with never seemed to show up anymore.
It’s just that Sony always seems to time these updates around 9-10pm and that’s right when I’m getting ready to play a game.
It would be nice if they would at least offer an option to allow you on PSN and let you download the update when it’s convenient for you, rather than saying ‘you MUST download this NOW or you can’t get on’.
Sometimes you just want to pop on to play a game with friends and not take 20 minutes or whatever for some update that adds no real functionality to your system.
well playstation my problem with that is, i bought them from walmart, and we all know how much hell walmart is i had my receipt and everything and they probably thought oh hey he activated them and then now hes trying to get more money off of it, so they told me that they can’t do anything and they threw the receipt and the cards away i told sony, and they can’t put any money in my account without picture proof of the card number and the receipt and they couldn’t do anything about it either even after i told them what happened.
I agree it does suck, but I’ve never experienced them often enough to really bug me to the point of complaining about an update. An update is an update, they happen, im just happy their not daily like someone on here previously duggested
But WHY is it ‘low’ to complain about a rude manager or cashier, Falken? I suppose you’re ok with being treated like dirt by customer reps at stores and don’t find anything wrong with that?
I know that if I’m treated rudely I just escalate to a manager or other higher up anymore. I just make it known that so n so was rude to me and if they do offer me something I will take the compensation.
Lol Patience thats something i wouldnt let go, i would hound that one to the end XD even if it meant contacting the manager of wal-mart and letting him know exactly what their smart employee decided to do
I don’t know if it’s been said @14, but I’m not going through 12 pages of flak to find out, but no. There is no way an update given through the PSN can completely shut out hackers. The PS3 has ABSOLUTELY NO security to speak of right now. None. The one and only way to fix this is to actually come out with a PS4.
@Patience…
That’s horrible. I would’ve been irate and demanded my receipt and cards back, since you did pay for them, even though they didn’t work.
Uhhh no, you said thats where you get free playstation cards, no problem complaining, im doing it right now actually, but for free cards? lol, and not only that but more than one, so obviously youve been complaining quite a bit XD
i had absolutely no proof though, that was my problem.
MAKE IT SO YOU CAN PLAY MUSIC IN THE BACKGROUND IDIOTS!
@Patience…
Sorry for the new post again. I really wish they’d put an edit button for the posts.
But have you considered a chargeback on your credit card if you used a credit card for them?
Yeeeah playstation and i agree on one thing, dont let the idiots at wal-mart rip you off on something like that, you gotta be a stubborn arse
and im off and not gonna be watchin this anymore, find it funny all the whiners are gone and its just Playstation and i left arguin over nothin XD
When I reach 99% it says “An error has occurred (80029C77)” What’s the cause of this? I tried about 5 times already.
Ban hacked consoles like on xbox live… that will be nice
All I have to say about all this back and forth that is about to continue is if your going to continue like this, at least add little features to the firmware. Weather it’s 1 new visualizer for the music, or adding Shuffle to the video & picture Options on the PS3 or add a playlist option to the video section of the PS3 or even add a true sleep timer to BOTH the Music & the Video options on the PS3. I’m no programer but I know that these hackers can add all these features in a months time, while you guys just ecnore the simple little feature additions that would make the system better.
Give us a real reason to upgrade our firmware!!!! Give us something the hackers can’t. I won’t ever jailbreak my beloved 60GB PS3 but don’t let the hackers make you look like fools Sony by upgrading your system and showing us that you just don’t seem to care. None of the features I mentioned should pose any legal issues so I don’t know why it has taken so long.
Do Something!! Do Anything!!!
I do like the PS3. If it were cheaper at the outset of this gen I would’ve likely had a 60gb and as such been able to play my PS2 games without needing a PS2 for that.
But water under the bridge, as I’ll likely just grab one once stores start clearing them out. Actually some stores are already doing so with controllers and memory cards.
I’d like the next update to have a video playlist that way i don’t have to keep changing the videos every time one finishes.
i hate updates. i finally decide i want to play online for a while and i have to update then try netflicks and can’t use that either.
I’m sure most people won’t read the 600 and some odd post after all I stopped after 10ish but what ever I want to give you guys my two cents.
If I was Sony I would scrap the PS3. I would say [DELETED] you guys, I just BARLEY started making money on this [DELETED] and you [DELETED] hack it….[DELETED] off. Then I would put all my resources into the PS4.
But if they did that I would be pissed. I calculated the money I put into this system the other day (around 5,000 USD) and I would really hate to see that go to waste, however; Sony is known to make backwards compatible systems…PS4 play PS1, PS2, and PS3 games? Then I wouldn’t care.
the update took me 3 hours and there wasnt an error..just 3 hours of [DELETED] waiting..i guess i did jailbreak my ps3 which i regret because after i did it i started seeing people saying that it can ruin your ps3 and psn can delete ur accounts, im just gonna play it the way it is and whenever hackers well hack again im just gonna have fun if i get into a game with them..and i still hate xbox..GO PS3!
and when do u think there will be a ps4? i wanna know..
apparently 3.57 tomorrow so says a rumor.. yay another waste of time, but i used the DNS server thing so im stuck on my 3.55 and being able to play black ops 1.06 even if i turn off my system or move to another account.
HAHAHA all of you guys pissed off at hackers can kiss ass,Its about freedom to do what you want with what you pay your hard earned for. This would of never happened if
1. Sony allowed full graphic card use for linux,
2. Never removed the feature.
Then we could have our homebrew emulators and that stuff
AND no piracy would of happened, at least not to the extreme they claim. plus its no use to even release updates to stop it people with custom firmware wont update. until the next one is cracked. and its really no use. by the way. to everyone who legitamately upgraded there ps3 and bricked using the official ps3 update. the naughty hacker have a little doggle to unbrick it.
Price is not announced during the presser, just an fyi. watched the whole thing on kotaku.com
So, they can’t implement something as simple as an MKV video codec installation, yet they can research, have coded, and install a stupid security update within a month or so? Thanks for NOTHING Sony. How about actually rewarding your users with something for a change instead of these useless updates that have been force fed to us for the last year.
Dear Playstation,
At the very least, in an upcoming update, please add “stealth logins” so that I can still play certain online content while appearing offline to my PSN friends. For those late nights when I want to play Black Ops Combat Training in complete solitude. Or Final Fight, etc.
@kentuckyfried
I’m pretty sure you can just turn off notifications bud. You will then no longer see friend messages and etc. popping up whilst playing during your late night gaming sessions :)
yes but people do get annoyed when you ignore them so the best solution would be just to be an show that you are offline but really online like Im’s
Lol.. Put your comment as “[DELETED] OFF” and put your status as away. If people still message you tell them to blow it out their [DELETED]. that’s what I do, always works.
F*** hackers.
whats with all the “security updates” lately?
Also do they help our security or is it just to try and patch up the massive security hole?
The Patch has completely screwed over the Dead Space 2 Multiplayer. Thanks Hackers.
they should add because they can, a full digital clock feature and live weather feature probably like android phones, i really would like that, and i really want cloud saves cause i have 4 ps3s, and a calendar and stuff, but i would really like but i dont think it would happen is widgets and the ability to instal them on the ps3, i want a better trophy system where you can get more info and progression and better display them, maybe display them next to our avatar..i want a better music player an the ability to get effects when playing music, i would like the feature with built in video chat, lol but they still dont have cross game chat, i want the ability to defrag the harddrive, i have so many ideas it hurts,i guess im asking to much and dreaming this powerful system could do everything, they are so slow to implement anything..i love my ps3s but they can be way better..
UGH Sony and yet again one of your updates pooches my HDD and I have to reformat and redownload all my stuff.
Its obvious that no one from Sony is checking this blog post or its comments, there really is no use telling everyone that your update is slow. They aren’t gonna do anything about it.
Mine is slow too but there isn’t much of a solution except to wait it out. Or hope for them to put it up at the site soon.
Hopefully if I leave it on all night i won’t wake up to an error message like others have gotten…boy will I rage. its at 30% so far and its been like 3 hours. JOY.
This is why i ain’t hacking mah PS3! Plus, the update download seems fine to me.
