Can I use a NA credit card on my UK account? Hitman Absolution is only $18 in the UK store. ._.

So I am new to the whole PS3/PSP thing as I just bought my PS3 this past holiday season and have a question. I bought a used PSP Go from the Gamestop deal a few weeks back, and I have a Playstation Plus account. The used PSP Go I bought has several games on it. I was wondering if there was anyway for me to link it with my account to get the free games this week on my PSP go without losing the games already on there? Or is it not possible to do that.

The 2 games that came with my used PSP Go are Ratchet and Clank, and SOCOM.

Not possible. If you bought the PSP go used then someone probably never took their account off. You just have access to their games most likely because of that.

Thanks for the link! I will try it out and see if I can figure it out as well.

I'd imagine you download Wild Arms to the PC via that program and then I guess find some way (USB thumb drive?) to transfer it to the PS3.

I hope I can get it to work because Wild Arms is really the only free game right now that I am interested in and I don't have a Vita.

Do I just install the program and DL it on there? Like steam or
iTunes? Currently downloading but confused as to how it works. Couldn't grab it on the Sony Store.

If you find out how to do it please let me know, I'm trying to get Wild Arms on my PS3 as well. haha

Figured it out, and Wild Arms is now downloading on my PS3.

1. Download and install Media Go: http://mediago.sony.com/enu/features

2. Sign in with your PSN account on Media Go.

3. Click "Store" on the top-left.

4. Search for each of the free games, go to their pages, and click Download on each.

5. They will now be in the download list on your PS3, and you are free to cancel the downloads that Media Go has going.

Thanks to Jut for the heads-up about Media Go!

No.

Is there a way to view the UK PSN store online?

Same here.


But at least it has the option at all!



Steam's Library function isn't perfect. But it's a million times better than anything the consoles do.

Okay, I thought it was just me and my not being used to the current generation of consoles at all but I found PSN to be really counter intuitive and hard to find things in. Steam on the other hand I have 1,000+ games and I have never had any issues with using it and locating things since day 1 when I started with it a couple of years ago.

Good to see i'm not the only one.


I don't know why Sony/MS/Nintendo haven't copied Steam's library function. If you want people to take your Digital Distribution as anything other than a joke. Then you have to do something like Steam where everything is upfront, easy to access and non-counter intuitive.

Download and sign in with Media Go, add them to your PS+ download list on your main account, then you can download them once you have finished playing the two games that came with the PSP and are ready to delete them and reassign the PSP to your main account.

Some filter and sort options would be enough to make it much more manageable. Checkboxes with PS1, PS2, PS3 full game, PSN, PS3/PSN DLC, PSP, PSP DLC, Vita, vita DLC, Mini, Avatar, Theme, video, audio, hide all demos, hide all expired, hide all DLC, display items starting with letter/number X, show all.

Do you have to start the download through Media Go? I just searched for the games and added them to my cart then checked out just like I would through the web store. They now show up in my sonyentertainmentnetwork.com purchase history list so I would assume they will also be in my download list once I fire up my PS3 and/or Vita tonight?

yep, you just have to purchase them for $0 to add them to your download list.

if you liked the demo, definitely pick it up. the only naysayer was admiral, who was complaining more about difficult/time consuming trophies than the game itself.

i bought it and have been playing it since - it's fantastic. $5 is a great price.

They stack. You'll be getting $40 in credit.

You won't be able to keep those games once you switch accounts (format, etc.)
It's quite easy to switch my psp 3000 between accounts that exist on my ps3 but you're dealing with a stranger's account, which you'll never have access to again once you remove.

I just checked Media Go, and it turns out you can claim all the games in the free games promo through it. So the list goes:
Wild Arms (PS one Classic)
Patapon (PSP)
Piyotama (PSP)
Patchwork Heroes (PSP)

I have a psp, and I remember loving the demos for Patapon and Patchworks Heroes, so this news made me quite happy.

Thanks, I did this but PSN was down so I couldn't DL Wild Arms. Will have to try this when I get back home.

I will be picking this up since I love shooters. Thanks affa for the positives. It looks like it will be beautiful on the OLED screen.

Originally Posted by affa people used to absolutely freak out on PS+ off weeks (which we no longer have because they filled them in with Vita games). If they frontloaded all the releases to the first week, that would be 3 weeks of complaints. Right now they're trying to appease the most people -- announce everything at the beginning, then drop them on us week by week. Hopefully they also do the 'clues' every month. That was a nice touch.

Morgan has said on Twitter that he's planning to that every month.

Whoosh. I don't know why people don't get his joke posts.

I don't think there's a limit, as they said it's for every $50 spent.

You don't need to download it on MediaGo. Just purchase it and go to your PS3 to start the download from your download list (PSN > Account Management > Transaction Management > Download List).

You'd have to delete the PSN account that was on there and then login with your account, but that'll render the games already on their unplayable since only the current account's games are playable. Then those previous games would be effectively useless since you don't know the old account's details, which is good for them. Just delete them and move on to playing the games you have.

Spec Ops The Line is pretty cool. The voice of Drake is in it! I never would have played or bought it if it hadn't been part of PSPlus. Shame it didn't sell that well because of the huge, established fanbases that are into Call of Duty, Halo, Gears of War, and Battlefield.
