Introducing Episode 2 Of FirstPlay

Sweet do we get D-Cube if we only buy the 99p Episode or do I need the subscription?

sweet cant wait for it love the first one

The free mini will definitely do it for most people, was hoping for Vector TowerDefense though. Shouldn’t moan, great work guys.

Nice, I was getting Ep 2 for the preview of Split/Second anyway but a free Mini is a nice bonus!

Oh and before we get the usual influx of whinging about this being the ‘EU Blog’ note at the top and bottom of this post – “Countries: GB”

This is a GB specific post, just like the French, German, Spanish, and Italian specific posts on the non-English language versions of this blog…

lmao u guy are reviewing street fighter 4 the game was out last year lol this is a waste of time from ancient reviews too 1.2 gd file its not even worth 99p sorry sf4 lmao

@5, Super Street Fighter 4 is a new game lrn2read ignorant fool

@5 – Super Street Fighter IV is a new game due out on April 30th. Way to make yourself look like an idiot. Proof that many of the posters on this blog complain for the sake of it.

Looking forward to the episode.

@seany: I think you’ll find that there is a key word called “Super” found and adds new features…..

The free mini is a nice way of getting new peeps on board.

Keep up the good work guys!

Seany1, you are troll ain’t you?

They’re reviewing SUPER STREET FIGHTER IV- you know the NEW with a ton of new features. Which is out later this month.

dou geddit nw bruv? lolol

Thats Super Street Fighter 4 which is coming out soon moron

i actually didnt see the super bit my bad sorry

@ 9 here pal ive gt more ps3 stuff than probs a lot put together so nah nt trolling i honestly didnt see super bit so be quiet

Will be subscribing to this tomorrow, liked the first one, loved the host! Next episode sounds great!

Seany1.

Telling me to be quiet? After all the incessant moaning you do? Oh, the irony.

Come on guys, it was an honest mistake, lets just get along right?

no i said be quiet abt labelling me a troll i could dasily say your just a brown nose fanboy too

Fair enough.

Will you guys be doing any deals with proper PSN games? Possibly as part of the subscription service.

i do apologise to firstplay guys bt i did think that was street fighter 4 and thats why i ranted bt im wrong so i may purcahse to say sorry now lol . file sizes are too big though as id like to keep episodes on hdd

i think dat FirstPlay, should only be a software download, and there shouldn’t be new editions, it should just keep on adding reviews, wallpapers, themes, free content, EVERY TIME! XD
Alongside betas, demos, add-ons, discounts, exclusive game footage and trailers, perhaps walkthroughs, screenshots and those kinda things etc.

All of these should be streamed, and not downloadable, and then FirstPlay will be AMAZING! XD

So you should never fear missing another episode again X)
So 99p just lasts you a week, and we all know how much for 90 Days etc. etc.

@ Seany,1

I agree about the file size issue. I was also hoping it be stored under videos, not games, as that way we could copy them on to PSP or PC.

@ 20 great idea m8 id defo subscribe if it was like that . 1.2 gb is way too big for a few reasons

@ 21 yea same dude but hopefully guys at firstplay can maybe sort something out with file sizes eventually

@22 I completely agree, back when I had download limits on my internet it was pretty annoying

@21 Yeah! There should be a tab on the XMB for these things called eMags or Apps so you could put the Singstar viewer and MGS4 Database etc in it

@20 That is also an excellent idea, letting you automatically download based on subscription or choose which episodes to download from within the software application otherwise

Also, because the file sizes of the service is quite large. Why can’t there be an option for downloading the videos?
For example, we download the first play service, download the videos off the service like we do with the screenshots, then delete the 1gb+ episode. This way we don’t have to keep all the episodes on and worry abouot running out of space on the hard-drive.

May not make alot of sense! Just thought of it and rushed to type it!

so6 great idea too theres a large amount of people who would deinetly like to be able to keep the episodes on hdd but even with 250gb and 320 gb hdds 1.2 gb with over 10 episodes is a hefty chunk and some get capped speeds after downloading a certain amount , hopefully u guys can maybe look into this and give us some feedback if anything can indeed be done . thanks

Hopefully someone from Sony is reading this ‘cus these are so great ideas I know for me at lease I hate when things that aren’t games are under my games section also the ability to extract the parts of these episodes you want to keep is a great idea to save space good for the consumer as we get extra space and good for Sony ‘cus they can sell us more PSN Store games with all that free space

The future of PS3, only in UK. No future for the rest of Europe.

@1: I think every episode downloaded will get access to the mini. Not just subscribers.

Looking forward to this, last week’s was good, episode 2 is going to be even better.

@28 Well you have atleast VidZone, we have nothing… Just 50% higher prices on everything on our PS Store. Which is quiete funny, since on average we take 100-300% less income…

@29, I’ll happily trade Vidzone for Video Store.

Or this.

Stop making the adds compulsory.

I’ve paid for the content, so let me get at it.

Woo, free mini. Sold.

X201 – You can skip it after you have viewed it. Ads keep the price down; if there were no adds then it would be a lot more expensive.

Enjoyed Ep001 very much guys, looking forward to more episodes of FP

sell it on the portuguese store and i will happily buy it :]

Wow do they show advertisement on content you paid for?
It´s just like a real magazine in´t it?
Hope this comes quickly to the rest of us paying customers in the EU.

release this for rest of europe to plz !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can we get more previews of upcoming games please. Last weeks effort was shocking plus there was a demo of the game released at the same time so you’re preview became pretty invalid as we could just try the game ourselves

you guys should give something exclusive to subscribers, at the moment all free DLC or other content is given even if you buy the 99p ones and most people will just buy the 99p ones when some decent content is in it.

perhaps exclusive content to subscribers only or even early access to episodes

at the moment there’s nothing in it to buy a subscription other than the lower price which tbh doesn’t matter when your just waiting for an episode with decent free stuff

Episode 2 sounds great with the bonus of a free mini,
I enjoyed Ep 1 and look forward to seeing what’s inline for the future….IMO its definatley good value for £8.99.

Is there the ability to offer money-off the PSN games you preview, via a link to the store in First Play? and can you do more PSP previews/ reviews?

If I subscribe to OPM will there be any cut in FirstPlay’s (FP) price or vice-versa?

Also, When FP is released in Ireland, will the the poor internet infrastructure hinder your roll out of the FP?

Hi Tim,

Quick question here. Will subscribers to OPM see any offers for FirstPlay in the near future? (not that anyone would need a ‘special offer’ for that price )

Thanks

yeah i agree but most people will abuse the service for cheap DLC mostly

but as i said before give subscribers more reasons to actually subscribe rather than just the low price

FirstPlay needs a Space in Home or the ability to view it within one of the apartments (it will be less effective if you just stick a vid in the Home cinema) plus FirsPlay items in Home.

Is a Twitter link going to be integrated into FirstPlay ?

i do think that maybe there could be exclusive content for subscribers,
maybe only subscribers will be eligible for beta trials that are avaiable through FirstPlay
