And all of this is overshadowed by Delaying GT5.

With GT5 and LBP2 delayed, what Playstation exclusives for this Christmas are left?

By the way it’s Uncharted 2 anniversary today. For one day it’s x5 cash with no cap on multiplayer, and if you play today at all you get an anniversary skin unlocked sometime within the week or something. Best day to try leveling up.

I was speaking with the product manager some time ago about how best to announce them but it’s all gone a bit quiet so I’ll give him a chase this morning.

The week was definitely dominated by Gran Turismo, for obvious reasons. On the bright side, I’m going to subscribe to Plus today because of the Fallout DLC, so you did a very good job on that front.

I see that YetiSports has been added, but it isn’t free.

Hey James,
Can you talk to Bethesda/Obsidian about maybe making some premium avatars for the Playstation Store for Fallout New Vegas. I would love this to go with my Fallout New Vegas session in the next few months and trust me alot of people would buy them too!
Many thanks!

Awesome!! I stopped using my PS3 for a while and today when I power it on I find out I’m banned from PSN? I’d really like to know the REASON!
Ridiculous! Sony could at least send an email warning this and saying WHY!
At least my wallet thanks you because I won’t be buying any more games during this period!!
THANK YOU!

I really don’t understand it, I’ve just tried on my PSP and PC and it let’s me sign in! I’ve never been banned (8002A227) so I don’t know if this is supposed to be like this.
Is there a possibility that someone has acess to my account?
How can I see the activated PS3′s, PSP’s? I hope I don’t lose all the money I’ve spent!
I’ll play offline anyway even though I can’t imagine why it doesn’t work!

@hc228: Update to new System Software? With Old System Software you can´t Log-in to PSN.

Ok week. I’ve heard that Alundra is/has come to the US PS Store, any chance we could be getting it on the EU Store anytime soon? I love that game.

@Skydancerx thanks a lot for the feedback! I have the latest firmware installed.
I’ve googled the error and noticed they’ve blocked my PS3 not my PSN ID, there’s no way I can use it online and I didn’t share my account or insult anyone and I’m not a cracker nor a burglar!!!
I didn’t use it for a week and then I played Singstar a few hours on Thursday without even using any online service and I remember I tried to connect my hard drive to backup game data but it didn’t work because it is NTFS. Today, when I power the PS3 on, it’s banned!
So now I’m wondering if they thought I was trying to hack! If they did, that’s silly! It was a Lacie 500GB external hard drive with pc backup data.
I’m mad because I can’t figure out the reason!
I’ve had an equations myBuzzQuiz moderated once and it only had numbers so I wonder, how can we insult with NUMBERS? Ok… I gave up writting Buzz quizzes and I won’t be surprised if now the ban reason is as fantastic as the Buzz Quiz was!
I’m waiting for the answer anyway, I’ve already sent an email but I wanted to know if it had happened to anyone recently.
I’m going to save money now!
Thanks

@hc228 You should just give Sony a call or some PS3 helpdesk. That would get you a awnser more quickly then waiting for replies. =)

Posted on 17 October, 2010 at 3:50 pm by hc228
@Noctai That’s true, I’ve heard that the email replies are not quick at all so I’m waiting for tomorrow to call them since they only work from Monday to Friday.
I wish I had used the PS3 on Friday and I would have called them already.
Thank you all

Just read this. Yes, I highly recommend you call your local customer services. Do you have the number? I can look it up for you, if not.

22
Posted on 18 October, 2010 at 1:25 pm by Raider197
@20 I sincerely doubt they banned you for giving a friend your account. I’m 90% sure you’re allowed do that anyway.

James, any news on the free Fallout 3 DLC for PL Ps+ subscribers issue?
24
Posted on 18 October, 2010 at 5:01 pm by HazelAM
can somebody tell me why i can only get the borderlands game of the year edition on pc and 360 in europe?
somebody from scee that is.
the ps3 version is available in the us and, according to amazon.co.jp, japan as well.
once again, scee seem to be the one factor keeping us from a title.
please, help me understand how the company that is supposed to be bringing content to it’s eu customers seems to be doing what they can to stop us getting it.
because frankly i cant figure it out.

This week, could you let us know why GT5 was delayed please, the usual “making the game as good as possible” excuse isn’t going to cut it this time. I think we deserve an honest reason for the delay this time.
Also, the new release date would also be appreciated, Sony MUST have set one in stone by now. Personally I won’t buy the game if it isn’t released before 2011, at least until it becomes preowned.
26
Posted on 18 October, 2010 at 6:53 pm by HazelAM
looks like i was wrong about borderlands, happy to be wrong in this case.
i’m sure i read somewhere that we wouldn’t be getting it in europe.

Thanks a lot for the reply James!
I’ve called them already, they told me my PS3 was used to HACK(??) with other account but it would be unbanned this week.
I have a lot to study anyway, so I’ll wait.

Posted on 22 October, 2010 at 3:36 pm by hc228
Online features are back to my PS3
At least Sony did what they promised.
Thanks

@ hc228 no more hacking this time ok?
:P:P:P

Posted on 23 October, 2010 at 1:15 am by hc228
@killzonexx lol
Regardless what they said I know I didn’t hack, I don’t even know what they were talking about but it was only for a week so now I’m fine.
I just hope I don’t get banned for something silly because I always respect everyone and I’ve seen people being banned for nothing. Sometimes games have bugs that can ban you just by playing them and that’s fantastic.
I’m not a hacker so it really annoyed me at first I must say
Enjoy your gaming

About GT5, just for fun:
“When questioned if GT5 would hit in 2010, Kazunori laughed and said the title will be “released sooner than expected”
it was on lots of well none game sites last year
