Has Siren Blood Curse ever went on sale for ps plus at all?? I want to purchase it but not sure whether to possibly wait for a deal

I'm pretty sure it hasn't and that game has been out almost as long as the PSN store has been opened. You'd probably be okay buying it now but if you want to be safe, wait until after Halloween.

Go read the requirements for the Zen Pinball trophies at PS3Trophies.org. All I gotta say is what the ?

No one is ever safe buying games for "full price" on PSN when they have plus. I couldnt believe they put Saints Row 2 out for free when the game had been out for years.

I think the Zen pinball trophy requirements are what made me not even bother continuing to play the tables when I got bored. Crazy convoluted to me. I think I started drooling part way through reading about them.

Yeah the ZP1 trophies were a nightmare, basically unattainable for all but the very best. I haven't had a chance to look at all the ZP2 trophies.

True, but I don't think the game had been on the PSN store for years. I mean, yeah, sure, there's a chance Siren may go on sale or even free for Plus, but the game's been available on the store for over four years. Most (if any?) Plus offerings aren't that old.

If you want to know what to do on specific tables in ZP2, read the table guide in the pause menu and it'll explain the various mechanics and the structure of the table.

I actually agree with you completely.

I work with foreigners every summer and they ask why we do what we do when it makes no sense and i never have an answer other than "welcome to America". Metric system also makes much more sense, wish we would have converted to that. Would be much easier as a chef!

I was LITERALLY thinking the same thing a few days ago. If it isnt on sale this halloween or soon after im going just pay full price. Probably import the disc version.

It is a long shot for sure. People should pay what they want for games they want to play. I have just been surprised by some old games being put on sale or free lately.

Good to know. I didnt remember the first having that. Did it?

Just as a warning, the PSN Play credit has an expiration date of October 7, so don't wait around to redeem that credit if you want it.

Yeah, they called it the Rule Sheet in ZP1.

Yeah, I read the message while I was in a game so I couldn't redeem it, but since I'm a person who sends and receives a lot of messages, I was like, ehhh, I should probably stop what I'm doing and redeem this just in case I forget.

One potential reason: in English, it's read more fluidly the American way. 9/7/2012 is usually read aloud, in English, in the same order as it's written: "September 7th, 2012." While "the 7th of September" is also an appropriate reading, it's not as common (at least not in the U.S.-- no idea about the U.K., so maybe having the day first makes even more sense there).

In languages like Spanish, for example, it's traditionally read "el siete de Septiembre," lit. "the 7th of September." That's the only European language I speak, but if it's the case that the majority of the others happen to follow a similar syntax when it comes to speaking dates, that would seem to explain why it's done differently in Europe (and elsewhere) than here.

Overall, it makes the most sense to me to write it in the same order that it's read in the language being used, as it makes the reading flow better. Adopting the European approach would make a lot of software development much easier, though, being much easier to sort/display when developing software / user interfaces...

Yes it did I am working on it and almost doing 100% on Zen Pinball 1, there is a Menu called trophies on it, which explains what you need to do in order to get some specific trophy.

After I finish this one I'm moving to Marvel Pinball and only after ZP2.

It takes time and patience to master these pinball games

Can someone explain how importing songs from other versions of Rock Band into Rock Band Blitz works? The only Rock Band games I have currently are Beatles Rock Band and Lego Rock Band. Do I need Rock Band 3 to import them into before they can be imported into Blitz, or is there a way to just add them to Blitz?

Thanks in advance.

You can't export Beatles Rock Band's songs, but Lego Rock Band is exportable. Blitz just recognizes the DLC file that it creates for all of the games.

Check out Harmonix's Song Export guide for more details.

For PS+ this week:

Games
Double Dragon Neon
Jet Set Radio HD - $9.99
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World

Though unannounced, I hope JSRHD gets a 20% PS+ discount. Probably won't happen, but I guy can hope.

Also, how tough are the Spelunker HD DLC levels?

I just barely got around to playing the main game, after turning on the rope assist and learning the rules of the game, I got through the first 10 levels fairly easily, plus with the fact that you can save and go back at any time, even if the game is hard it seems like I should still be able to get through it.

So, is the DLC like way way way harder? I bought DLC pack #2 and beat the first 2 levels, though they were pretty damn tough. I know what I'm asking isn't exactly easy to answer, but any input would be great. And for anyone who's played both Spelunker and Super Meat Boy, are the DLC levels harder, about the same, or easier than Dark World in SMB?

Thanks.

Two words: in ridiculous.
