I guess the extra delay is because they will want to roll out the store very very slowly due to the amount of people who will downloading the welcome back package and other store items such as DLC's etc.

Well all know by end of the week they probably mean friday . First thing I plan to do is buy Metal Gear Solid PSX classic and then get my 2 free games "Infamous" & "Dead Nation".

In the pipeline...
They actually are uploading a lot of stuff from the past month in a couple of days...

Anyone else having trouble downloading off the store? Everytime I click a "download" link I get a message saying "an error has occcured".

 

[Servo]

Nevermind. It seems to be sort of working now, although I have to try 3 or 4 times to download something before it will work properly.

Existing Playstation Plus subscribers are getting an extra 10 days subscription on top of the 60 days we already got because they took longer than expected getting the store back up.

I had to try it twice, but I'm now downloading the inFamous 2 demo.

 

[Vance]

Grabbing the DaVinci Dissapearance, Honest Hearts, a couple of Zen Pinball updates, the LA Noire add-ons... Slow downloading today, but that's hardly surprising. Glad to see it all back up and running.

Took a bit of fucking about to get them, but not a bad haul to start with...

inFamous 2 Demo
Burnout Paradise
Magic: The Gathering - Duel of the Planeswalkers (not sure about this, but it was free)
Pain
Streets of Rage 2
James Pond: Robocod
King of the Blocks (mini)
2D Octupus (mini)

Now just need them to put the Welcome Back package up so I can grab inFamous and Dead Nation.

Magic: The Gathering - Duel of the Planeswalkers (not sure about this, but it was free)

I have the Steam version of this for PC, it's not bad. Not great, but it's a pretty straightforward and simple MTG game. A nice time-waster, and it has online play/ladders.

Downloading Metal Gear Solid (PS1) and then I will have a look around the demos and Arcade games etc.

 

[BigFoot]

inFamous 2 is gonna be fun.

A little annoying to play MGS classic, I have to turn my PS3 off and connect it via AV cable because it won't play under the HDMI setting.

 

[BigFoot]

^ Really? That is annoying. Did you try changing some of the settings (like PS1 upscaling)?

How you do that?

 

[BigFoot]

In the XMB go to SETTINGS -> GAME SETTINGS and then PS UPSCALER (set it to normal). I have no idea if it'll help, but it's worth a shot.

Didn't work so I've left my AV scart in my PS3/TV and when I want to go on it, I will just change the settings of Display & Audio via XMB.

A tad annoying but am sure I can spare the 20 seconds needed
