Just a note for those on VM and using a wireless router.

My PS3 has always connected to my home network via wireless but the download speeds from the Playstation Store are generally appalling and because the router is less than 1m away from the PS3 I never considered that it could be the problem.

I connected the router via cable tonight after the Pro Ev demo was downloading at snails pace and it imediatley maxed out my connection.

TBH I'm a bit of a gimp for not trying it before.

Am i being stupid or can hyou not download videos and movies from the US store unless you are in the US??

I can't see anywhere to download movies or TV shows and i am in the US store :confused:

Soulja · 4 Oct 2008 at 12:12

No you're not being stupid, you can only view/download the movies if you actually live in the US&A

Yeah they got some nasty IP blocking stuff going on, even using a proxy didnt seem to work

There is a way you can do it but it needs to use a PC in the states to do it lol.

Just played the BioShock Demo the other night, After loving the PC version which I completed I just found BioShock very jerky. The frame rate seems 20-25fps, I was hoping it would glide along like COD4.

Gotta agree. I think it is a shody port of the 360 game tbh.

Didn't notice that, but I've only played the 360 version before. Maybe the additional fps with a decent PC helps?

oh without a doubt. When playing the PC version I was getting ~50-60 fps. I know its a port but just seemed sluggish in comparison. So much so its put me off buying it for the PS3.

I've never played it on the 360 so can't comment.

Again another demo where I find that my performance seems better than what others find, very strange :confused:

I found the Bioshock demo to be very nice framerate and it looked fine as well, I found the same with GTA IV, maybe it is very sensitive to badly calibrated LCD's??

That's putting it mildly

Might try the wipeout theme and Metal Gear trailer but that's literally it!

Linger in Shadows and Valkyria Chronicles for me

Just played about 15 minutes of Linger in Shadows, very confusing but I think it is definitely a grower for what it is (interactive sixaxis / rumbly art demo) - slightly dissapointed that the trophies don't unlock as you get them, but instead they unlcock when you finish the game - I got 13 of the 16 trophies from a single playthrough!!! *eeps* - a bit too easy to be particularly satisfying methinks!!!

titchard · 9 Oct 2008 at 20:41

Well I bought some of the content off of the PSN today - thought I would get some of the PSone classics for my PSP to keep me entertained while I was on nights.

Red Alert and Theme Hospital! Just playing Red Alert now - it is epic!

Is it just me or does Valkyria Chronicles seem somewhat like old suikoden, as in the turn based action.
