[quote name='thisisthetito4']ok well try this check your download list on your psn account and look for the ps3 version you downloaded and re-dwl/install it.[/QUOTE]
by the way i believe there was an update today to make vita/ps3 fights compatible for the release of the vita version
 
[quote name='kouleefoh']Did they fix it? I can't find the one that's supposed to be free.[/QUOTE]

Not as of 30 seconds ago. Just got it myself. Look for one that brings up a sub-menu with 2 items, one free, one 8.49. When you download the free one, the 8.49 one will be added to your DL list automatically.

Sorry, I'd look up the exact name but I just started up a game of Dark Souls to explore the Artorias DLC.
 
[quote name='kouleefoh']Did they fix it? I can't find the one that's supposed to be free.[/QUOTE]

It's in there under "Grab Bags" There are a bunch with prices and one that says "Complete" that has no price displayed. Click that one and it does show as free and applies to both versions.

Like I said, maybe this is the only solution Capcom has come up with to correct their huge SF X TK DLC glitch. If so, maybe everyone will get the DLC characters as well. I'll try to get more info out of them by phone or email tomorrow.
 
This definitely wasn't on purpose, because these are supposed to be free to anyone who bought the Vita version of the game. At least that's what the description for the game said on Amazon.

Gotta try and work this out before they fix it.

No. As I posted, the alternate costumes for the 12 additional DLC characters was supposed to be the preorder bonus -- it sells for $2.99 in the PSN store. This 38 alternate costumes pack and the $19.99 Twelve Additional Character pack were supposed to come with new copies of the Vita version of the game. Instead the code in the Vita version actually gives you the $2.99 preorder bonus when you redeem it even though the voucher clearly states its for the 38 additional costumes and the 12 DLC characters on the PS3 version. Apparently the preorder code actually gives you the 38 alternate costumes pack you guys are getting for free and nobody has gotten the 12 additional characters that are advertised on the outside of the Vita version's box. What a colossal screw up.

Wow, guess I need to step in...

There are 2 sets of costumes (key word here is 2 sparky)

1) Is the Swap Set
2) Is the Alternate Set

The Alternate set is what is included with the Playstation Vita version. Here is a unity link to prove that. The pack in Vita code unlocks as you said the ALTERNATE costume set for the DLC characters and again the Vita preorder code is like you said, the ALTERNATE pack. However, we're still talking about 2 completely different sets.

This free set is different, so Vita users can double dip.
 
[quote name='ckc4043']how many GB for infamous:blood for festival?[/QUOTE]

I believe it's a little over 3gb (therefore you need 6 to install).
 
[quote name='ckc4043']any games below $5 for psn plus is good besides infamous?[/QUOTE]

Yes, as many have said before me, COSTUME QUEST is a must-buy at that price. I also got the Zen Pinball table pack. Dead Nation is alright as well, but that I got that for free when they gave it away. Seems worth the price if you like that sort of gameplay.

...Speaking of zen tables, does anyone know if there are two different Street Fighter tables available? I thought there were, but the only one that keeps coming up when I search for it is the Street Fighter II tribute. I could have sworn there was a different one.
 
Oh. I though we were supposed to get ps+ for vita in October. Does that mean its coming next week? Halloween? Sometime next year?

I'm a bit sad that Corpse Party 2 is a point and click. Not that I mind, but the first game (granted after only playing 30 min) is perfect to me.

It's always been November.
 
LOL @ that ridiculous price for the Artorias Dlc :applause:

Inafune is a damn prophet at this point when he made those spot on comments about the Japanese gaming industry.
 
Do not like one major change in version 4.30 and what they've done with the trophies. When in game, if I pulled up the XMB I used to be able to look at trophies I've earned without having to go through the sync process. Unfortunately this is not true anymore.

Triangle > Offline mod

With this being said, still don't like this update.

Wow, this is serious bullshit. I've been stuck with the swirling clock thing for 5 minutes now after trying to check trophies in game. What a colossal fuck up.

I thought it was just me or maybe the PSABR beta but i guess it was the firmware cause it takes forever for the cloclk to disappear.

I haven't updated yet, but that's really annoying. Unfortunately, since hitting around 100 games, every 2 or 3 new games I get, I end up with a trophy sync that takes like 10+ minutes (guess it just takes longer to updated my game list?).

I guess it's kind of like the update where they updated the ability to transfer ps1 games and minis from the ps3 to the vita. You used to be able to transfer the installed games directly from the ps3 to the psp...but the update made it so you need the actual install file to transfer the games to the psp to, apparently, make it compatible with the vita's transfer/file system (meaning I had to redownload the install files for anything I wanted to transfer). Seems every update they do to add features for vita users ends up being a minor pain in the arse for non-vita ps3/psp users.
 
[quote name='Logain8955']Man, I hope next week we get some Silent Hill action on PS2 classics.

It'd be perfect timing with the movie coming out.[/QUOTE]

Highly doubt that with the HD Collection already out with SH 2/3...and Book of Memories just out. I guess there's still SH4, Origins, and Shattered Memories, though.

That's strange. I have about 125 games in my trophy list, and it only takes about 2 minutes to sync. Rarely, the update will go really slowly for some reason, but I've never had it take 10 minutes before.

Not that big to be an issue to me since I pretty much check my trophy list/level & percentage each time I earn a new one, so it never takes long to sync, but seeing as I'm used to checking mid-game, I can see how that can be an annoyance.

That does suck. I HATE synching, its so fucking annoying even when it goes through in less than a couple minutes (which is rare for me).

Which brings me the chance to plug plus. I LOVE having everything synched up at night, so I always remember to check when i first boot up again. People always seem to complain about plus's free games that arent their style or tastes, yet we forget the other benefits like auto downloads and synching of trophies. This is probably worth the $4 a month alone for me. Not to mention cloud saves too.
 
With this new update regarding trophy syncing if you are much a trophy whore you will get the trophies updated real time, without quitting the game, because before you would need to quit the game in order to sync, not anymore.

That is for the Online Mode

Now if you aren't a trophy whore like I am and want to check the trophy list everytime you want it without updating:

Switch to offline mode:
Press TRIANGLE on the trophy collection
Choose swith modes:
Offline mode

And voila nothing will bother you.

Good luck CAGS

Edit: Just saw it right now admiralvic posted first, sorry about that, I didn't read your post otherwise I wouldn't have posted.

Ya...it's usually that fast for me. It's only the first time I sync after installing a new game that takes forever...and it's not every new game I install. Like I said, it happens after every 2nd or 3rd new game I install, almost like it's taking a long time to update my list of games or something. Then, it goes back to the normal 1 or 2 minute sync (until I install a few more games...then rinse and repeat).
 
sucks no new trophies for dark souls dlc. also update for trophies, ugh, i guess i will do offline mode, i have ps+ auto sync every night so i can avoid this syncing. no matter what it takes at least 10 min for me always.

I was a little bummed to see no new trophies for the Dark Souls dlc. I still bought it cause I love From Software and enjoyed the hell out of the game. Playing games/dlc with no trophies isn't a deal breaker for me. I plan to get into DS later tonight and see what surprises lay ahead.
 
[quote name='alwayscheaper']I've always wanted a feature added that when I gain a trophy in game, I can press a button to expand the pop up and see what it is I just did. It's tiresome to always have to pull up the xmb just to learn what certain things are.[/QUOTE]

Ha, I'm actually the complete opposite. I'm hoping for a feature that turns off the trophy notification popup.

That would be awesome if the implemented that. Get on it Sony!

Also, a big LOL to all the people bitching and moaning about the new Singstar icon over at the eu Playstation blog. :lol:

Lol since I updated my firmware from my us account I didn't get the singstar icon nor do I care.
 
I noticed after the update when I went to check the trophies last night, is that they were now in alphabetical order, instead of the most recently played order.

And also, for those with the sync problem. There's always an option to cancel the sync (circle) as opposed to just being offline.

If you press triangle while in the trophy list, it will give you sorting options.

By default it's set to "Online Mode" but you can set it to "Offline Mode" that way you can still check your new trophies without having to chime into the Sony servers to sync everything.

Depending on where you are in the sync status, pressing circle won't help. It'll look like it's canceling the sync, but it will still be syncing.

So say for example you got new trophies on a certain game, these are what get sent to Sony's servers first (since they are new). Hence why you can't cancel it.
 
If you turn it to offline mode, does it also take you offline for friends? That really sucks that they changed it like that, syncing trophies while you're playing a game takes for fuckin ever. However, I'm not willing to go offline for friends/messages so I guess I'll just have to figure somethin else out, keep my iPad handy or somethin.
 
[quote name='Gamer4life88']Also, a big LOL to all the people bitching and moaning about the new Singstar icon over at the eu Playstation blog. :lol:[/QUOTE]

Why are people moaning about the new Singstar icon? Isn't it just a new free app/engine that lets you play Singstar DLC and content from Singstar ps2/ps3 discs without using the actual engine from the disc games? I don't really see the downside unless it's a big download or something.
 
iv messed up a few times, where im playing an online game and hit x on accident and it goes to sync my data/look at my trophy profile card and its like omg im gonna be 5 min late/kicked from this next round. Hope this stops any of that.
 
[quote name='eXiON']By default it's set to "Online Mode" but you can set it to "Offline Mode" that way you can still check your new trophies without having to chime into the Sony servers to sync everything.[/QUOTE]

It actually doesn't work that way, at least when you're not in a game. I just set my trophies to offline, pushed X on it and it immediately started synching to server.

Seriously fucking pathetic. I'm not going to bother with trophies anymore if its going to cost me actual gaming time.

You could just not look at the trophies while in-game. Granted, this sucks, but I don't see how this is a trophy dealbreaker.
