I only had one file as well. This sounds really weird. Have you been able to play the game normally so far? Did you download it twice by accident? Can you post a screenshot so we can see what it looks like?

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Aaaaannnnnnddddd we're back!
 

Waitttt a minute.

How much do you want to bet he doesn't have his stuff sorted in folders like I and probably you do

To the guy with the question.

Is one of the icons a picture that if you run your icon on it the background changes to an infamous background. And is the other a picture in kind of a sphere in a capsule shape?

the icon that makes the background change is the actual game install, the one in the capsule is the install file, you can delete the install file, but don't delete the one with the picture that changes the background of your xmb

Three arrests made in connection with PSN hack

The New York Times reports that the Spanish police have picked up three suspects in connection with the PSN hack that brought the network down over the last month and a half.

The arrests include one man in the city of Gijón who allegedly had a computer in his house that was used to attack PSN. The same computer was reportedly involved in attacks on Spanish banks and other entities. The other two arrests took place in Valencia and Barcelona, but no further information was provided.

Spain's National Police, according to NYT, claim that the three suspects were part of the "local leadership" of the hacking group Anonymous, and that the police found its suspects by analyzing chat logs and web pages. The arrests were made as part of an investigation that began in October of last year following a hack on the Spanish Ministry of Culture website. Anonymous has previously denied official involvement with the PSN hack, though some members have speculated that the attackers were likely connected to the group.

This is great to hear. :banana: I hope they get more of them.

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Aaaaannnnnnddddd we're back!
 

I hope Sony takes the smart route and uses these guys to help identify the pitfalls in their network security.

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Aaaaannnnnnddddd we're back!
 

I sort stuff in the folders so I'm sure it's not the game. It is the install file as when I hit triangle install is one of the options, but when I select the delete option it says the game won't run right if I proceed.

I plan on deleting it when I get home later and just redownloading if in fact there is something there towards running the game.

I hope the Spanish government was smart enough to get their shit locked down before they made this announcement. I'm sure the rest of Anonymous won't take this lying down.

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Aaaaannnnnnddddd we're back!
 

Uhhhh......

Anon and Lulz have shown very thin skin about their activities, they'll be coming after you next.

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Aaaaannnnnnddddd we're back!
 

And now you. I, on the other hand, have nothing but the utmost respect for them. Keep fighting the good fight!

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Aaaaannnnnnddddd we're back!
 

No, they've already authorized my paypal donation to the cause. I'm covered....for now.

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Aaaaannnnnnddddd we're back!
 

why would one do that when you can get a new one at Best Buy for $299 and a $100 GC with purchase

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Aaaaannnnnnddddd we're back!
 

Finally got my first PS3 from the lighting deal at Amazon's for $199.99 this morning.

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Aaaaannnnnnddddd we're back!
 

Is that deal going on this week? The only thing I see in the ad online is the Black Ops bundle for $299, but maybe I missed it.

So am I the only one who isn't all that crazy about inFamous? I'm pretty early on but I'm already getting the feeling I get when I've been playing a GTA game for quite a while; I just don't feel compelled to play it. I got that and Wipeout and I'm kinda wishing I had gone for LBP or Dead Nation instead of inFamous but oh well, wipeout is fun.

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Aaaaannnnnnddddd we're back!
 

I think people who love inFamous even have the complaint of how repetitive the side missions are. The one I hated the most was defusing a building of bombs. The truth is though, if you want, you can skip most of those and just play the story missions.

I think that inFamous 2 goes a long way to address those concerns and I haven't gotten frustrated with it in the same way I did the first (which I greatly enjoyed.) It also greatly helps as silly as this sounds to make use of your powers. I sometimes find myself falling into the GTA trappings of running everywhere but the enjoyment really opens up when you're surfing power lines, jumping and flying, thunderdropping, etc.

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Aaaaannnnnnddddd we're back!
 

You are fine, not all people are into this kind of games. I'm not a big fan of GTA, although I finished GTA IV, but only completed like 50% of the game.

When does the free game offer end? I need to be motivated to turn my ps3 on.

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Aaaaannnnnnddddd we're back!
 

you don't have to turn it on until before July 3rd

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Aaaaannnnnnddddd we're back!
 

That depends -- does the download have to be finished by the time the offer expires, or just in process?

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Aaaaannnnnnddddd we're back!
 

I would assume that once you've started it, and it's in your download history, you can re-download it whenever you want.

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Aaaaannnnnnddddd we're back!
 

In the case of Anonymous, I've been a supporter of their Scientology protests and freedom of speech efforts. I just don't agree with some of their hacking operations. I'd like to think they wouldn't have a problem with me.

LulzSec? Yeah, they just go after whoever they want for no reason. They might come after me. :lol:

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Aaaaannnnnnddddd we're back!
 

My downloads have been going at least twice as fast as they did before the PSN went down.

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Aaaaannnnnnddddd we're back!
 

Don't be so sure. I got screwed out of that free Flower download because I just started the download on the day it was free but it didn't finish until the next time I got on. If you want to be safe, I would make sure you download it before the deadline.

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Aaaaannnnnnddddd we're back!
 

This isn't like Flower. The minute you select it from the PSN store, it's yours forever. No need to download it right away or anything.
