I called to complain about my Uverse bill, and the lady knocked $40/mo off, bumped my internet speed to 12mbs (from 3), and gave me free Showtime, Starz, and Encore for a year. Amazing what mentioning "cancel" can do.

You should be able to still get it if you go through "Account Management" and "Services". It'll show 1 remaining redemption - I had the same issue when I tried to download Infamous.

This works. Just select the game number it fucked you out of and you'll be taken back to the store and get to choose the game. I had it happen with a PSP choice.
 
Does Gameloft make anything good? Every single game I see on the app store from them is a shitty lookin' direct rip off of somethin' else. :\

Does anyone still play MW2? I'm decent, but I hate playing alone.

That happened to me, too, just now. I was going to get LBP (which I already own, I was just going to get it to have on my HD) but it fucked me out of that. Luckily I already have everything aside from Super Stardust. I emailed those fuckers anyways, not like it's going to make a difference. This is more ridiculous than getting hacked and being down for a month.
 
Infamous finshed, but the other game won't take me to the store because I keep getting error messages. I'll try it again later. Can't decide between LBP (I own the GOTY version), Dead Nation, or Wipeout.

I'll try that soon.
Edit: Didn't work. Transaction history shows I "purchased" Welcome Back Game 1, then Welcome Back Game 2 followed by SSD HD. Same thing happened with PSP games but in the opposite order. Good thing I wasn't counting on getting free shit anyways. This really makes me more angry than not having PSN in the first place.
=====================
Dead Nation is awesome. I sort of hate Wipe Out and if you own LBP GOTY, I don't know why you would take that over something you don't own.

Mostly they do knock-offs. They have some licensed stuff, it's all very average. I've bought a good number of their titles as they all hit $.99 at some point. I will definitely be buying 9mm, should be good for laughs.
I had fun with Dungeon Siege.

It's not transaction history, but the Services List near the bottom. This is the path that you should be taking from the XMB:

Account Management > Transaction Management > Services List > SCEA Promotion
 
I figured it out after running into it on the net while not actually looking for it. Thanks dudes. What a pain in the dick for some free stuff though. Where is the Cock Knocker when you need him?
 
There's too many potato chip places here. But one thing that came across my mind the other day when driving by an Utz. You know how their mascot is that girl with the makeup on her cheeks? Slutz. It works too well.

I ended up getting inFAMOUS and Dead Nation. I'd planned on trading in LBP with the 50% promo (for around $20) and downloading the free version, but would rather keep the GOTY content since I don't think it transfers between the two.

Not purchase.
It's under services. I've actually done it twice now.
Acct Mgmt > Transaction History > Services > Sony Welcome Back > launches to store > pick game.

Since there was no difference in the copy of what I owned for Dead Nation or SSHD, I took WipEout HD Fury (didn't own Fury Add-On) and InFamous on my US account and took LBP and R&C:QFB on my EU account.
I also took LBP PSP and ModNation PSP in case I ever end up with an NGP.
When Chika gets home, I'll make sure she gets LBP and something from the 5 and ask her to let me use the two PSP games for the other 2.

Now to wait until the Asia services are restored. If I can get my accounts recovered there (JP, India), I can get all 4 games I don't own.

I was absolutely hammering the golf ball today. I had a few 300+ drives. :cool:

[quote name='corrosivefrost']

Hmmm, looks like it's going to be sub-40 minute download for InFamous 2 demo... (90% @ 12:15, 34 minutes) -- edit: finished before 12:21... so 40 minutes or less for 2.5gb.
I even have gone back to using DHCP on my PS3... :whistle2:k
Maybe it's because I have the traffic rules that state the priority of gaming services over other traffic?

Started DNF demo at 12:23.[/QUOTE]


I started the download at about 8:30 and it was still nowhere near finished when I left at 11 so I just kept my PS3 on all day. I figured everyone and their mom back on PSN has something to do with it but my dl speeds were always insanely slow on PS3 compared to 360.
 
If you want, I can screencap my portforwarding and traffic priority sections of my router, but since it's tomato firmware, it might not be the same as in your router.

--

InFamous demo was mostly good -- had that speedy/gliding feel to movement that ps3 exclusives get sometimes... but it was fun. If Amazon was offering $20 credit for pre-order, I'd snag it.
 
[quote name='flowery']I just noticed Eerie, Indiana on Instant Watch. I loved that show when I was a kid. I need more of these shows.[/QUOTE]

I was just thinking about that show.
Strange that it just got added.
 
JJSP do you have any connections for Weenie Roast tix for tomorrow?

----------

Duke Nukem Forever stinks. Same duke, just a bit shinier. Plays like a generic FPS, or worse.
 
Had you asked earlier than today, probably. Check Craigslist for cheap tickets - they were full of tickets way lower than face value.
 
Yeah I know its last minute and I wasn't expecting a miracle, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.

I'll be going to LA Rising in July, so I think that should be enough, but I kinda regret not getting Weenie tickets.

Thanks anyways.
 
a) Got my dvr all set up for E3 coverage next week (the only time of the year I turn on G4!)

b) I wish there was a Frisky in the 360 forum.

EDIT: A poster on neogaf has evidence that God of War 4, GTA5, RE6, and a Walking Dead game is gonna be announced at E3.

Uncharted on the NGP/Vita looks :drool:

Perhaps I'll see you there!
 
Gamestop has a 50% trade in on any game. Time to do the ol switch a roo.

EDIT: Holy shit there isnt a game I want for the next 2 or 3 months.

I'm really excited for MGS2/3, Peacewalker and ZOE in HD. I've never played Peacewalker or ZOE II.

I would like a NGP, too.

Yeah, I thought it was fitting seeing as I have restarted to watch all of The X Files for the first time since they aired. I always considered Eerie, Indiana a good introduction as a kid before The X Files came on.

If you played the original ZOE and liked it, you'll love ZOE2. Such a good game and one of my top games from the last generation.
 
There's like 6 games I'm excited for the next year and half of them I played on the PS2. "I'm getting too old for this shit. One day left 'til retirement."

You know, I was trying to decide which of the games I would DL aside from SSD HD and knowing this I will probably get LBP and trade in my disc copy.

I heard ZOE2 was awesome but I was pretty young then and didn't really have the resources to pick it up. I originally picked up ZOE for the MGS2 demo but I ended up loving the game and played the shit out of it.
 
[quote name='seanr1221']Why'd you sell your 360, Budge?[/QUOTE]

Because I just wasn't playing it. Usually I am too busy studying for homework and when I am not doing that I am usually hanging out with friends. Then when I do want to play a game, I just usually end up playing on my PC.
 
Technically speaking, you can buy a select game and get Infamous half off at Best Buy. I'd be tempted to do that myself since I have BB giftcards still, but won't as I have no PS3. And K-mart always has their coupon madness, so I guess there's that.
 
What I wish for however is a deal on Alice. That game's had my attention lately, even though I know little about it.

If I buy anything though, there's about four games that have my interest in k-mart's ad. But I don't how often I'd play any of them Especially Dirt 3. I like the series, but racing games don't tend to hold my attention long for some reason.
 
Just wait on Alice -- it'll probably tank and drop in price faster than a brick. I don't think it's a high profile release, so it's probably not going to sell as well as they hope.
 
Fair enough. It's interesting, but I do have a difficult time dropping more than $30 on a single player game.
 
[quote name='JStryke']Fair enough. It's interesting, but I do have a difficult time dropping more than $30 on a single player game.[/QUOTE]

I'm interested in it too, but normally these days, even high profile releases are going for $40 within a couple weeks (portal 2 seems to have had a permanent price drop to that price already and MK9 has been $40 several times on amazon), you'd do good to wait and you should see a deal sooner or later. Same with inFamous 2, I hope.
 
[quote name='Maklershed']Back to the Future bluray set w/ Hot Wheels Delorean = $24.99 on Amazon[/QUOTE]

I didn't know they included a Delorean. Just checked it out and I already have that hotwheels car, I saw it a few weeks ago at Target and I couldn't pass it up.

Walking Dead was already announced by Telltale a few months back.
