FirstPlay 010: Full Contents
Rocket Racing "temporarily unavailable". Oh dear.
Published: 20:00, 10/06/2010 by Greg [Watchful].
29A day later than usual thanks to yesterday’s PSN maintenance and my usual losing struggle with Remote Play on my PSP but here is what you will find inside the latest episode of FirstPlay. This week’s highlight is of course the fourth of Half Brick’s minis titles that FirstPlay are ‘giving away’, Rocket Racing. Or at least it would be if it was not “temporarily unavailable” like Age of Zombies was last week. Come on FirstPlay, two weeks in a row?

Whatever it was they maintained yesterday, for me the PSN store is now slow and sometimes unresponsive, likely to give an error, the usual one being 80023102, has crashed and dumped me back to the XMB a few times and once I managed to get FirstPlay downloading it is taking an age. I have given up trying to buy Joe Danger today after about a dozen attempts. How has the PSN Store been behaving for you today?

Finally managed to persuade the PSN Store to let me buy Joe Danger, so it is now downloading very slowly…
Took a couple of attempts just to get into the store. I was somewhat bemused to be getting the message that “this service is not available in your country/region”.
Still cannot download Rocket Racing from FirstPlay though.

Well it seems to be called Aero Racer now, which I was little confused about, although mine downloaded without a hitch? And yes, that was thsi morning.

As of 11pm last night I was still unable to get into the PSN store, usually getting either an error message or just a blank screen displaying my wallpaper/theme.
Hopefully it’ll be fixed by the time I get back from my weekend break…it really needs to be sorted before E3 starts so we can download all those lovely reveal trailers from the show!! :)
