i'm so pumped for the boston pack!

Are you kidding me....:confused:...did you not see the flow bundle....:D
PS3 fired up...check
Internet connectivity...check
Download Boston pack...check
Fire up my broken blue pad drum set so I can bang away at the songs...only to find out that a majority of the songs are blue heavy :mad: ...check (doesn't matter though...the pack is awesome!!!).
tingham 03-27-08, 08:22 PM I don't know if this was up before in the store, but Warhawk is $29.99 now.
kekborg 03-27-08, 08:35 PM I don't know if this was up before in the store, but Warhawk is $29.99 now.
The only caution I would give to anyone looking to pick this up...if you buy the downloaded version, you can only play on one account (as opposed to the disc version, which can be played on multiple accounts).
Wish I would have known this before I bought it...now my stats are tainted with my childerns scores.....:(

Yeah..thats the bummer with the DL version. I bought the disc, but it wouldn't have mattered to me. No one else in my household plays it.

Nice free map pack from Epic, and classic maps to boot..from UT1 if my memory serves me. Facing Worlds was my fav.
assasyn 03-27-08, 10:27 PM Is Warhawk worth $29.99?
bdoyledimou 03-27-08, 10:57 PM Wow.. i have a $600 Karaoke machine apparently.
PJ_Rage 03-27-08, 11:04 PM Thought we were going to get the Hot Shots Golf demo today??
I can't find the R-Type demo, where is it?
You have to go to the "PSP demos" section of the store.
I've got it downloaded but haven't loaded it up on the PSP yet. Looks like it's going to be another sweet tactics game for the PSP.
Oh, R-Type runs only on the PSP only? Lame.:(
so's your face 03-28-08, 12:44 AM Wish I would have known this before I bought it...now my stats are tainted with my childerns scores.....:(
don't you mean your children's stats are tainted by YOUR scores??? :p:D
yeah, thats my excuse too...:D
yeah, but your wife pads your stats during the day so it balances out!
Oh, R-Type runs only on the PSP only? Lame.:(
Yup, PSP games require a PSP.
so's your face 03-28-08, 12:45 AM Is Warhawk worth $29.99?
no... it's worth much more. 29.99 is a steal for warhawk.
fiddlesticks 03-28-08, 02:07 AM Oh, R-Type runs only on the PSP only? Lame.:(
Yeah where's an R-Type game for PS3? R-Type Final for PS2 was pure bliss.
R-TYPE HD is on the way don't worry

I will buy it.
anavrin0901 03-28-08, 07:31 AM I am excited for this free map pack for UT3 but can someone please tell me what are these American Idol karaoke songs for? Do you have to have a game to use these? Are they free? I have not been able to log on yet to the PS3. Thanks!

I think ill be downloading this pack when i get home. I was just listenin to samples of all the songs on Bostons website. I know most of them. Seeing as I'm only 24 these songs are all oldies but i remember them from growing up so it should be a good time playing them. :D
jewing1043 03-28-08, 09:45 AM Is Warhawk worth $29.99?
yes but if you want the disk to play different accounts it can be had at eflay for under 30 also

I agree with so's your face. Their updates suck. I don't care about paid content and add-ons. I want demos and they barely ever do them anymore. We should be seeing at least several decent new demo games every week. After demos, great HD trailers would be the next best thing. And on both of these fronts, they suck.

i was kidding... i actually think they do a d@mn fine job of updating the store. i think some people would only be happy if the PS store could give back rubs and foot massages, but then they'd still complain about the lack of "happy endings". :p
again, how much better was the weekly content they released on the ps2?
exactly...

no doubt... every week since the weekly updates started last year there's always someone pi$$ed about the update. :mad:
i like to try to get that initial "this update sucks" out of the way so they don't have too, but i only say it facetiously! :D
heck, this week we got a free map pack for UT3 and free video chat support for HS: poker as well as the boston pack for RB and about 4 million karaoke songs! it may not suit everyone, but i'd call that that a homerun update. lump flow in there and it's pushing the limits of the divine!:D
fcorona76 03-28-08, 01:44 PM Oh, R-Type runs only on the PSP only? Lame.:(
Yeah....bummer. R-types is available from Hong Kong (which I am in the process of acquiring through a HK PSN card). Have you seen the price of R-types or R-type Delta original PS1 discs? DAMN! R-types fetches $30+ while Delta easily gets $65-$90. For a 12 year old used game? Crazy? Release it on PSN please!
I just grabbed a PS1 disc of Thunder Force 5...that should hold me over for a while. There's a classic gaming convention in my area this weekend so I'm going to keep my eyes peeled for a cheap copy of one (or more) of the R-type series.

Obviously peole have not seen what is on xbl marketplace. PS store is a joke compared to it. I dont even go to the Ps store but about once a month, and even at that, not much new content. If the PS could get even half the stuff xbl marketplace I would be happy. And no I do not own a 360, I get to the all the neat stuff at my neighbors.

I have...not impressed. They want $50 from me to download most of their stuff. Besides, I spend most of my time playing the games I have bought...not surfing the psn/xbl...that's just me though.
In lieu of starting a "console war", I'll just say I am very pleased with this weeks content. That is my personal opinion. You can't change it, so don't try :).

if you want better updates, go get a 360...
It'd be nice to have at least decent updates on my PS3.
TornadoTJ 03-28-08, 05:44 PM Hey, look at it this way. I never got ANY updates for my Atari 2600 or 7800!

I never joined the network for the PS2. For that matter, I never bothered getting a PS2 and kept my PS1 and waited to skip a generation. I paid for a new generation where networked content was supposed to be more central to the offering. And the ability to download the demos was the second biggest factor in buying after the ability to play Blu Ray's. To date I have bought 2 games for the PS3 and about 20 Blu-ray's.
I have...not impressed. They want $50 from me to download most of their stuff. Besides, I spend most of my time playing the games I have bought...not surfing the psn/xbl...that's just me though.

You don't have to pay $50 to download anything from XBL. You can have a free Silver account that gives you access to everything except online play. But hey as long as you are content with what PSN offers Sony has done it's job.
Citivas 03-29-08, 01:09 PM I think people with unreasonable expectations suck.
Nice... Basically if people don't share your point of view, they suck. Real mature.
When I got my PS3 last summer they were doing several new demos every week or so. And they were promising when you talked to their reps at trade shows or read interviews to seriously ramp up their network from what it was at the time, implying things would get better not worse (and given that the 360 was already doing better, there was no reason to expect it was impossible or "unreasonable"). They also promised that the reason I would need an 80 gig unit was because they were going to start offering downloadable movies and other new network content that would be more storage intensive. Eight months later, I am still waiting and the rate of new full demos has slowed significantly. So why are my expectations "unreasonable"?
BTW, I am not one of those who complains weekly about the network update. Seach my posts. I don't think I ever have commented on this before yesterday.
Tom Imp 03-29-08, 01:32 PM I was really excited about the UT3 add-on and I hope that Epic continues to give us official packs in the future.
The whole process of adding individual maps to this game is such a hassle that it has completely turned me off to adding fan made content. I see no reason why a bunch of maps can't be condensed into one file and installed in one shot. It obviously was done with this latest add-on.
Instead we have to download one, install it, download another, install it, etc., etc. Quite time consuming if there are say 50 maps out there.

C Dub...not exactly correct. If you don't have Gold..ie $50, you have to wait for a period of time before you can get the "new" demo's.
At any rate, doesn't matter much because this is the PS3 thread and the discussion is supposed to be related to the PSN as per the op ;)
For everyone else, I would suggest that if your not satisfied with the content on the psn, start a thread and title it something along the lines of "ps3 content sucks this week...opinions wanted"...that way I can avoid all the fussing and bitching all together.
Not trying to come off as a jerk, I'm just so sick and tired of these posts going "south" due to negative points of view when they are not called for....

WTF :confused:, Citavis, go back and read the flow of this post right up to your first post. It was all factual/"ribbing"/Q&A until you threw your "this sucks" post in.
No one asked for an opionion...and opinions do nothing but cause threads to go south...not my opinion, my observation.
By the way, the first post you replied with your comment...was a joke...;)

I played one on tv one time...it must have rubbed off on me :D.
Seriously, not trying to be a jerk, so please try not to read too much emotion into the posts. I really do appreciate all the knowledge sharing and "friendly jabbing" that takes place on these forums...it just gets so frustrating when these posts go into a downward spiral.
Again, it's not my intention to offend anyone.
I'll hang up and listen now...:).

How much do the Idol songs cost to download? I'm hoping it isn't a few dollars for each song. I can understand $3-5 for a bunch of the songs but if it is $1/song I can see it getting very pricey.

You talking from i-tunes? It is 99 cents.
bassmonkeee 04-01-08, 08:28 AM You talking from i-tunes? It is 99 cents.
Heh. I think it's safe to say that he was talking about the American Idol tunes that were part of the sucky-not-enough-free-demos-and-only-worthless-add-on-content-that-makes-people-happy-yet-it's-still-sucky update from last Thursday.
To that, I have to say "I don't know."
Because American Idol sucks. :cool:

According to this post (http://www.joystiq.com/2008/03/27/psn-thursday-gta-iv-trailer-dlc-for-ut3-and-warhawk-sale/) at Joystiq, the songs are $1.50 each, which seems....pricey.

It's interesting to see the "video game approach" to DLC that GHIII/KR are taking vs. the "music platform" approach RB (and possibly SingStar, albeit to a lesser extent) are taking. Of course we won't get a chance to see what SingStar is doing for another month or two at best, but based on reports from the other side of the pond it is probably somewhere inbetween.
I wonder what the announced DLC sales figures for RB will be by the time SingStar comes out...
FenixP3D 04-01-08, 12:19 PM maybe it has been mentioned before but why can't they a psp emulator on the ps3 so you can play psp games on the ps3??
