Few bits for me, demos, etc.
And Access TV which I really enjoy, I just wish you could schedule it to auto-download as part of PS+ membership.
hazelam
bloody scee, an absolute frakking shambles.
they’ve known about the minis sale screw up since the 22nd, and all they still say is contact support.
nobody has had any result that way.
this company is a bloody joke, how many weeks did it take for people to get that free game they were entitled to for preordering those games?
it’s lucky for these idiots that sony doesn’t give a stuff, if they cared they might notice what a shower of useless idiots they’ve got running their biggest bloody market.

shows how bloody useless scee are.
colmshan1990
How the hell did that problem even happen?
Can you still download other minis or has it gimped that whole process?
Seriously, how did they manage that?
Hope they fix it anyway.
freezebug2
Pick and Mix was a disaster for Woollies too…look at em’ now :O
hazelam
freezebug, i nearly choked on my cornflakes reading that.
i should have learned by now not to eat while reading TSA.
and colmshan, i have no idea how that happened, and neither, it seems, do scee.
i think it’s only affected the minis that were in the pick and mix sale, though i haven’t tested it, i’m sure there would have been reports if it was more widespread though.
i’m beginning to think they won’t bother fixing it.
nobody in that thread has gotten anything fixed despite spending a lot of time and money phoning the support line.
and the way they quietly changed the license so that instead of saying that we’re entitled to uses these minis on two ps3s and two psps it now says that use on up to that many consoles may require an additional fee.
of course they know as well as i do the terms as they were when the games were purchased applies, but they know some people will think that means they’re not actually entitled to those other activations and so may leave things as they stand.
in fact if you asked anybody what scee have done about this, the only thing they could tell you is that they changed the license.
yes, that is the only thing they’ve actually done about this problem.
freezebug2
Appologies for that Hazel, and do I hope that you were able to regain your composure and dust down ready for the daily challenges ahead :P

Good to see they lords of finance at PlayStation are righting the pricing wrongs of last year!
Forrest_01
Lol – That made me think of quantum leap!
“Trapped in the past, Dr. Beckett finds himself leaping from store to store, putting prices right that once were wrong, and hoping each time that his next leap will be the leap home. So he can play some of his own damn games!”
Bladesteel
“As for the ‘Final’ week, maybe your ‘Fantasy’ will come true…”
They’re finally getting an AO section on the playstation store?
Sympozium
Yes!!
seravok
Were is my Trine 2? :(
Origami Killer
Maybe just the demos this week, nothing really interests me…:/
The Lone Steven
It’s just the FF13-2 and AZURE’S EFFING WRATH! I’ve heard it’s fixed many of the flaws that FF13 had and even has, wait for it. Sidequests. Which should have bloody been in FF1.
Is it me or does Azure make Kratos seem very calm at times?
MGS avatars are coming to the EU store soon according to their blog. I wonder if they will actually live up to that?
LuckyPickle
Anyone tried the Grand Slam Tennis yet? Mixed views on what I’ve seen, though definitely promising. One glaring issue is that despite having played as both available players on every difficulty setting (at least 30 games), not a single ball has been hit long by me or the AI… That’s either some awesome racquet control, or EA need to do some serious tweaking!
Ouninpohja
I’ve just had a go on it.
I thought it was a pretty good game and agree with the long ball issue.
Although my overall serve % ended up at about 28,so I need to get the hang of that! :D
colmshan1990
I can’t believe I just paid for an avatar…
Still, it’s SCAR!
Origami Killer
Do the Disney ones look good?
colmshan1990
I only got the one, but I like it.
Then again, I am a Lion King fanboy…
It’s this, on a cloudy blue sky background.

Disgusted at the lack of Mufasa on the store though.
Origami Killer
Don’t blame you for being one! The Rafiki one is tempting me…
colmshan1990
To be honest, I want them all.
But, seeing as I can only use one at a time…
hazelam
i’ve paid for avatars before, at 20p a pop it’s not too bad.
i think i got the one i use now, Quorra from tron legacy, for free with my plus sub though.

This, with all the January Sales thing, made it the best update yet.
