Ah, I find it confusing because the Minis are really being marketed as a reason to upgrade to the Go. All this time I was thinking about getting a go For the minis, then I started wondering why the minis wouldn't work on my current PSP-2000. Thanks for the confirmation.
barkiemailmanMemberYeah, they are games (or any BS like on the iPhone) that have a size cap of 50 Mb's and will be priced at either $1, $2 or $5 (I think…that might not be 100%). I know they are launching with the PSP Go, but theres really no reason they can't be on the PSP as well as they use the same store and are essentially the same system.
barkiemailmanMemberChalk up another vote for this topic. I was forced to save before and after everything I did in Fallout 3 because it would crash almost once per hour. That is the main reason I think I will avoid the DLC.
barkiemailmanMemberHmm, very interesting. Actually when I first posted this there was a very normal story about it on N4G.com and now it has completely disappeared. Perhaps they found out it was fake and took it down from the website.
Oh well, I wouldn't buy a new dreamcast anyways…apparently shouldn't trust n4g.com either
barkiemailmanMemberThis topic has already lost all momentum. Lemme try to jazz it up a touch..
AWESOME!!! The God of War collection is only $39.99 to buy with two full awesome games and has two full trophy lists with 2 plats!!! Sweeeeet
barkiemailmanMemberIs it already being discussed??? I can't see the part about the DOUBLE trophies… Usually the discs half the trophies up between 2 games like the chronicles of riddick games

:::sigh::: if you guys read the announcements, they made it very clear there will be free and premium avatars and themes. They might not be out yet… but patience is a virtue. So yeah, some avatars will cost money, if you don't wanna spend it, keep your old one. Whats the beef? I don't see anyone complaining about paying a buck for an LBP costume, and its essentially the same thing. If anyone didn't see the other thread, there is a free dynamic “Afrika” theme on the JPN PSN store. I don't have a JPN account, but I've heard its pretty cool. What makes me curious is what's going to be so special about the new avatars that they're worth money? No real details on that… and so far, I don't see how thats any different from them charging for a virtual shirt in home. Its really nothing new. By the way, heres a couple other features you guys may have overlooked:
- Internet Connection Speed Test – Check your internet connection upload/download speed. Go to [Network Settings] > [Internet Connection Test]
- Internet Browser Screen Capture Feature – Press Triangle on Internet Browser, then under File > Save Screenshot.
- Custom Remote Play Settings – Manually set a device (such as a PSP system) to be used for remote play.
So yeah, wondering if you got the bandwidth to host a game? Now you can check it. You like that nudie picture but can't figure out how to save it? Now you can. That last feature,,, I'm not so sure what that means, but its in the list. Can anyone explain how that's different from before?
I agree with BigWoop 100% To answer that last question, the Custom Remote play can be used with other devices than the PSP with this new update. DON'T get too excited. I'm don't know if there are any other devices that work yet. I believe some new sony cell phones will support it.

If they start charging for all themes and for new avatars then Sony may as well rename the company Microsoft as it'll be a really low move imo.
In all fairness, any premium themes and avatars would have been created on by paid employees. Charging for these items is perfectly reasonable.
However, if they start charging us $6 to have an avatar hold a lightsaber, or $10 to make him wear a Gears of war costume then it's definitely time to start feeling Microsofted.
barkiemailmanMemberBoo hoo!! There are gray boxes around the friends list now. Anybody ever stop to think that if you have a similarly colored background then your friends names and the games they were playing were hard to read?? You wanted it to look pretty – they added the sparkles, you wanted functionality – they put in some gray boxes.
I think this update was perfect. Sony fixed everything that they said they would. Beyond that there was a public statement that cross game voice chat would not be added until later so no surprises there either.
If you're gonna complain, complain about something valid. Are there any features we lost? Was there any promises broken?
barkiemailmanMemberYeah, PSN is still not working though. I gotta go to bed now as I am working in the morning.
Someone do me a big favor and leave a post if there are any cool new online features or games in the store. That way I can read it at work tomorrow….Oh yeah, and enjoy the new sparkly background! It's……..not…………TOTALLY……gay………………………………………………………………………………..
barkiemailmanMemberRatchet you don't have it yet? I'm in canada…I'm pretty sure we get the updates at the same time. Check your PS3 right now man!
barkiemailmanMemberHmm, actually I noticed one interesting item. I don't think the platinum trophies are being counted for the overall trophy progress PERCENTAGE in the games anymore. (Which makes sense, plat means 100% anyways) All the games I had trophies but no plats, my percentage went up. For all PSN titles the % stayed the same.
For example: I always had 57% in resistance 2 and 75% in dead space….I now have 68% in resistance 2 and 89% in dead space. I had 38% in burn zombie burn…no change.
On the other side of that though…games you have the plat for, but dont have the dlc trophies, the percentage goes down. I had 85% in RE5 and now I have 83%.
Either the plat value has been erased, or is just worth less.
barkiemailmanMemberCan't recall it saying….only took a few mins…I'm thinking about 50 or so
barkiemailmanMemberIts up! Yep, just turned on the PS3 (~12:30am) and installed it..I think PSN is down for a little while tho as I can’t log in. Gotta say…not very exciting thus far. Have to wait til PSN is back up to see if theres any improvements there I suppose. Best piece of advice – Don’t get your hopes up! It’s not exactly a massive overhaul
barkiemailmanMemberOH YEAH! I totally forgot…
There's an update to this story as well. Apparently the xbox I gave him came from the pile of “Unfixable Xboxes”. So he hasn't returned to the store yet to get his $90 refund, but when he does I guess he can put that towards a new $300 system.
………….”360's WICKED!!!!!!!!!” lol
