Is it showing the cost as 0.00 or full price? And if full price, are you sure you're PS+?

I´m pretty sure that i´m a ps plus until july 13'. I can´t remember right now if it´s full price or 0.00. Guess it is full price, since it tries to make me pay for it.
 
[quote name='tylerh1701']Also, noticing that the Fantastic 4 Zen Pinball table finally made it to the store. I can't seem to get it to import from Zen Pinball 2, and when I try to download it directly off the store it wants to charge me $2.99, even though I already own it.

Probably just an early snag that will be corrected, but if anybody else has a solution to this and is actually able to import it into Zen Pinball 2, please let me know.[/QUOTE]

This is apparently know to be a problem by the Zen Studios company. From their facebook feed...

Fantastic Four will be available TODAY in North America and TOMORROW in Europe for Zen Pinball 2 on PSN!

Once the PSN store updates, you'll be able to import the table to Zen Pinball 2 if you have already purchased it. If you have not yet purchased it and would like to play it in Marvel Pinball AND Zen Pinball 2, please purchase it in Marvel Pinball first, and then import it to Zen Pinball 2 to avoid paying for the table twice. The recent patch should have fixed any issues with importing, but please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you all so much for your patience and support, we really hope you enjoy Fantastic Four!

Also, we'll have news on the Marvel Civil War table tomorrow!
 
[quote name='alwayscheaper']All ps store downloads whether free games are done like they're purchases now. So just go through it, it'll say $0.00 since you're plus and then complete the transaction. I like the new store, I think it's slick but they've made it cumbersome to download free games or demos.[/QUOTE]

Now, it actually displays 29.99. There´s 0.5 in my wallet, so it shows that i still have to pay 29.95 or something. man, that sucks
 
[quote name='the_ENEMY_']getting some of those game shows would probably make my wife happy, but will she play them enough? they look corny.[/QUOTE]

They're definitely corny and honestly rather bare bones, just speaking from experience from the 1 or 2 I've played. But for $5 a pop I think I'll pick up most of them, they're good for a couple hours of fun and always fun (in small doses) with friends.

Thanks. They've mentioned they're aware of the problem and working on it, so hopefully we see a fix soon.
 
Quantum Conundrum is good stuff. Played through the first section of the game, it definitely has a huge portal vibe to it, but it's still a very good 3D puzzler. My one complaint would be that there's a little bit too much reliance on platforming, which doesn't always work great in first-person games.
 
Picked up Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. The others look too cheesy for me to like. I'm sure family feud would probably piss me off because I typed something a little different than what they wanted.

Is this game free on playstation plus right now? It showed up as free but when I went to download it it said free demo so I passed but after thinking about the new store setup maybe it is the full game for PSN subscribers.

don't u have to download the key ?
 
I downloaded QC last night as well (first time using the new store... Why do you have to go through 6 or so screens just to purchase and download one game?)


One of the many screens showed it as a demo, but it downloaded the full version.
 
I'm not sure if you have poor reading comprehension skills or what.

Since the store update all free PSN games (and all downloads) make you go to the checkout in order to "purchase" them.
Even if you have funds in your wallet the price will still be $0.00. The funds in wallet and funds remaining in wallet lines at the top and bottom will be the same.

For QC (if I remember) there were separate choices for the full game and for the demo. When you go to "purchase" the game it automatically threw in the unlock key.

Ya, I played through a chunk of it, too, and it was great aside from falling a lot during some of the jumping segments. Still great the way they incorporated the puzzle elements into it, though.

For everyone else: Yes, free for plus. When you add it to cart, it should add both the game and an unlock key to your cart. Be sure to "download all" after checkout (or, if you end up with just the demo, go back to your download list and download the key).
 
At first I thought it was dumb we had 3 threads going at one point for PS+ on Vita. But someone here mentioned they were glad that other threads existed so we didn't get all the stupid comments, trolling, and noob questions in this thread, which is a very good point.
 
[quote name='FriskyTanuki']The amount of misinformation and trolling in that Vita PS+ thread is kind of amazing.[/QUOTE]

That's been a problem in all of the PSN threads lately. It's like CAG has been taken over by high-schoolers.

I feel sorry for the people that are asking questions and get lies or misinformation in return. Just looking at the latest posts was this gem.

I don't see much of it in this thread since I try to make sure people get the right answers whenever possible.

Haha I would have thought he was giving correct info too, since I don't have my Vita yet. But glad I know that info is wrong now. If I have any Vita questions once I get mine in the mail, I'll make sure to ask them here. :)
 
Any games with the Memory Required icon on the cover and all digital games have the save tied to the launcher on the home screen, though the PS+ Cloud Storage for saves is supposed to be able to just grab the save somehow for the games you are done with.

Hmmm, I downloaded both but it still says trial version. I gues I'll find out when it eventual cuts me off if it's a demo. Still I have played for more than an hour....:whistle2:k
 
Hey Frisky, do you know how saves work on the Vita with physical copies? I know that some games save to the cartridge and some save to the "bubble"/on the memory card? I just want to be able to continue my game of Gravity Rush or Uncharted if I opt to sell my physical copy and download the digital one. If I delete that bubble it would delete my saves wouldn't it? Also, aren't saves with PSP games separate? I saw in the System Info that PSP saves have a separate tab. So deleting the bubble for a PSP game probably wouldn't delete my save would it?

EDIT: I think you just answered half of my questions two posts up.

You can download the unlock key again if you want to be sure.

The main menu of the game should have some sort of "Purchase Now" option either in the menu or by pressing a button if it's a demo. If you don't see that, it's the full game.

When I first booted the game up yesterday, after installing both the demo and key, the title on the XMB still said [trial game] but it's definitely the full game. I didn't check if it changed after booting the game up.

All PSP-compatible games save separately since UMDs didn't store save data, so Minis, PS1 games, and PSP games all save like they originally did. The pop-up that you get when trying to delete a PSP game basically says that you're not deleting the save with it.

They usually do change after you start it up once.
 
Thanks for the response Frisky. Is anyone here watching the live stream of PSASBR on IGN? I noticed they implemented a sort of scoreboard so people can finally keep track of who's winning while the match is going on. I know one of my complaints when playing the beta was not being able to see anyone's score until the end of the match. Still not sure if I'll being picking it up anytime soon though.
 
New PSN store is ungodly laggy. I like the idea of being able to browse all the avatars without having to go into each game 1 by 1, but being able to only see 9 at a time (why is so much of the screen wasted at the top?!) and slow loading makes it a bit painful.

I was also going to seriously hate the idea of having to go to the top of any list to get back to the filters until I discovered that triangle does that. Whew.

Now all I want is the option to sort PSN games by type so I can exclude minis, PS1/2 Classics, and PSP games...

It's already there. Just pick Game Type to just see games of a certain type.
 
I'm totally torn on whether PS+ for the Vita is good right now. I mean so much planning for software is based on software sales numbers and now you have games people won't buy. On the other hand the concept of it is getting me more interested in buying a Vita but without any software at first. Seems a double edged sword this early in the struggling handheld's life.

My bad, I meant Vita games. The only way to see all Vita games for download includes minis/classics/psp games.

I am surprised they picked Gravity Rush, since that's obviously a true gem that's still worth money, but I think it's a good draw.

Now you can't search for themes take an example the citadel theme was released 2 weeks ago, they had the theme featured on the ps3 store US, athen all of a sudden it doesn't get featured anymore and gets thrown out.

But it still shows on EU, also the big disadvantage you can't search the US store for themes, most probably more things also can't be searched, and on EU the themes don't have video, on US most of them have videos so that you can see what you are buying.

[quote name='tylerh1701']The hype about this series died down quite a bit when they finally released episode 2, but I'm so glad the final game is releasing so I don't have to hear about these games any more.

I'm sure they're perfectly fine games, I'm just tired of hearing about them.[/QUOTE]
don't forget season 2 coming soon :cool:
