I think Trilogy was $30, and while I think that's still too much for what those games are, at least you were getting a few games with that purchase. This is just Angry Birds: Star Wars for $40. Atrocious.



At least you can download it on your PC and install via USB. According to GAF, the update is already available to download.

I did forget about that. Hopefully plenty of people do that, and everyone benefits. I just remember the trainwreck Wii U launch. My little cousin got one and was super bummed.

problem with that is about 1% of the general public even know that exists let alone how to do it. I dont even know where to get the system updates from sony. Doesnt your USB drive have to be certain format and you have to structure the folders and where you save?

For PS3, when I got a new HDD, I used a random thumb drive to transfer over the necessary files to be able to boot the thing. I don't remember the brand, but it definitely wasn't Sony. Don't know if this one is going to be different, or if it's different with patches (I still had to download the newest patch afterwards).

anyone have the link to the update?

edit: I guess here

PlayStation.com

Although the PS4 system update isn't on there yet (only PS3, PSV and PSP).


EDIT: Editing your damn comment. Come on, JMS.

I think it's a fair point though. And how does this play out for all those gamers that people harp on MS about that don't have internet connections (or at least their console connected to the internet)? I guess they will have to seek out the patch? Personally, I don't care because this stuff rarely has any effect on me, but it just seems REALLY risky to do a day 1 patch, regardless of whether or not you make the stuff available beforehand. Hopefully it works out for them, or at least, doesn't go too horribly wrong.

I would think the majority of the idiots buying this at launch have an internet connection. AM I rite?

[KNUBB]

The whole online thing regarding the uproar earlier this year was the inability to play games without internet. Even without the patch the PS4 can play whatever game you put in it. Even download in the background while playing.

Have a connection yes. But maybe not their system connected.

I was being facetious more than anything, just because I find it humorous when online shit is bemoaned for MS, but to get the most out of their purchase, many people are going to have their system connected to the internet when they get home. But MS is the evil Empire, and Sony cares about consumers more than money.

Angry Birds Star Wars Activision

Well, that helps explain why Angry Birds: Star Wars is $40.

[KINGOFOOTBALL]

So no streaming videos or music from your PC via DLNA media servers, can't store and play music files outside of their service, and they backed off their claim that you could post videos directly to YouTube (only to Facebook). Pretty disappointed with that news.



Speaking of which, does anyone know why the fuck it's $40 on the PSN store? Who the hell would pay that much for a mobile game?

I havent followed news other than the occasional pop in to vsn or verge link.....every time I do...its never good news or something awesome. Its always some stupid decision or shortcoming being revealed. These consoles seem to suck all kinds of ass.

[ryne candy]

won't support external hd space

[KNUBB]

Seems people wanting 1TB won't be getting it this upcoming gen (for now). You can only add up to 160gb more and no support for external hd. I know some people added 1TB to PS3 later in it's run. I'm surprised since they are trying to get people to buy discless games.

You read that wrong. The drive has to be a MINIMUM of 160GB
