@ josh13711…go play your PS3 :P
South he is both a Samurai AND a Sniper. You don’t have a chance bro.
@DarkCloud07 im just saying, if sony made you feel that they dont care then go with a different company.I dont trust sony as soon as i could get my hands on my persional info i changed email,password,street address,credit card , ECT. but I still stick with sony because of their services.
@5922 I hope not I only have the 40GB model aww i need a new HDD bad I guess
Does anybody know if it’s for the whole world to compensation from Sony or just for Americans??
If only for North Amenicanos, it’ll be a [DELETED], because all around the world were losers.
Send the trainee’s incompetent and do right away …
LOL buying a Wii. That’s the funniest thing I’ve read on this blog in 119 pages.
i am and on here 5925 im jus borreedd gosh
hey south good luck with the headlock im a Judo master
Maybe it’s not 16GB on average. I’ll have to look online.
I still think sony could have put better titles on that list.As much as I like LBP I can see it just taking up space on my hard drive.I would have liked to see better titles or even the map pack thrown in there.
sony should give me a new HDD too then we be cool again
Wii are cool with the motion gaming but they also suck A$$
i think that wii ruined the basics of gameing, witch is sitting on your couch eating snakes and enjoying your game but now you have to do work to play games
what?? what happened the the idea of 30 free days of selected downloads?? the only good game there is inFAMOUS… but its better than nothing. also, when is the PlayStation store going to be back online?
good job Sony, u guys r the best :D
I wonder if people would have been satisfied if the PS Store was the ONLY THING available right now & no online gaming.
Hmmmmm i wonder
im tired of Hearing map pack does sony publish (Insert title here) if not you aint gonna see it so deal with it ha
yes! im going to use the free download to get escallation thank you sony you rock!
You know what guys? Screw this. I’m going back to gameboy color, and playing Pokemon wheer ash has to go through those bat ridden caves to get to the trainers pad. Yeah. Pce. PCE I SAY.
ty
@Dbnitro eating SNAKES ewwww
WOW Dbnitro you are something the wii and move are too hard for you but eating snakes is no problem
ive got one better south im going back to my Lynx and playing california games woot
@ 5936 i know huh
i ment snacks
LMAO @ Dbnitro…eating snakes lol
maybe he has tennis elbowthen eating snakes would be much easier then playing the wii
does this include the online games too? 30 days + time lost? in particular, DCU Online?
I didnt like the PS Move so I took it back.
thats a pretty good way to recover
MAybe dbnitro would just settle for a dictionary as welcome back project
@5936 I think this whole motion garbage is a fad that will fade soon. There are no good games that use it that I’ve seen.
@ SamuraiSniper wow dude do you even own a ps3? Have you ever heard of “wallet” Its the thing at the top right of the screen on the store and sony have full capability of put $15.(man i hate stupid people)
omg yes u get 30 days after ps store comes on 2 get your free crap
you all know that if you play a Sony Online got hacked to and a bunch of CC info was stolen they prob took my info from like 7 years ago when i played FF XI
More than likely most of us already have our name and addresses on the internet somewhere. Google yourself, you’d be surprised.
yes Orange i know what a wallet is and if you bought a game from sony then it be cool but lets say you bought this map pack eveyone is talking about then sony would have to pay its publishers for you thats why they dont give you wallet money
of putting $15 into it*** edit to previous comment.
some singer comes up when i google my name
These games that Sony are offering to us may be bad, but they are still trying to make us satisfied. Its not the way to treat them after something they didn’t cause. Sony didn’t have to offer anything at all. Why can’t we be happy that they’re doing there best to restore the network. I feel we should be grateful.
Bows to Willz717 thank you
THIS IS URGENT: I WAS KICKED OUT OF A GAME SESSION ST 10:00pm MST. WHEN I WAS KICKED FROM GAMEPLAY, SYSTEM BLACKED OUT AND RESTARTED TO MAIN MENU OF GAME, A MESSAGE THEN READ “THIS ACCOUNT HAS ALREADY BEEN SIGNED IN”. MY PASSWORD THEN WAS INVALID AND I WAS UNABLE TO LOG BACK IN. I HAD TO CHOOSE FORGOT PASSWORD OPTION AND RECREATED A PASSWORD FOR MY ACCOUNT. 5/17/2011
