They only promised monthly. But I did enjoy weekly updates. Nice that they're giving you a heads-up on what they're pulling; it sucks to get home on a Tuesday and suddenly find that what you wanted to get has disappeared.

And for PSN+ members, be sure to grab Kahoots. It's a cute little puzzler and the best thing about the game is that all your level instructions are sung to you by a giant yarn bird with a clothespin beak.

for example:

I'm starting to think that PS Plus is supposed to be confusing, to get you to keep coming back to see what's new. You don't know how long the stuff is going to stay, whether it's a week or two or more than a month. I wish they'd mark the expiration date for each item in the store.

Is there a way to turn off the Trophy 'noise' when earning a trophy? Its disctracting enough for a pop up to happen during the story line after beating a chapter, but the sound is unnecessary

Hey, the less you promise, the less you have to deliver.

Top 50 funniest tweets by kevin butler... Some of these are hilarious. Spoilorized for size

Spoiler:
1. Some lady had yapping lap dog on our flight. It was brutal. Even the crying baby was giving her the stinkeye.
2. Hey guy camping out in the PlayStation bathroom stall. That better have been a vuvezela I heard. #DontGoInThere
3. There’s no believable way to tell someone “the elevator smelled this way when I got in it.” They act like they believe you. But they don’t.
4. Someone just asked how long it took me to get out of a cubicle. Foolish tester, I was immaculately conceived in a corner window office.
5. Ironically, when I wear shorts my body temperature goes up, not down.
6. I’m the hot girl you were doing the robot with in PlayStation Home.
7. Taking a dip in the lap pool is a great way to get skinny. Taking a skinny dip in the lap pool is a great way to get arrested.
8. Luckily playing The Fight with co-workers just as satisfying and without the whole “Fireable Offense” thing. #PSmove
9. My “KB fitness 2010” program is finally stating to pay off – I think. I’m not sure whether these are pecs or moobs.
10. Attention lady at the airport full body x-ray machine. Applause is fine. Giggling, not so much.
11. Not to go out on a limb here, but ModNation is my favorite nation of all the nations. Sorry, Libya.
12. I just closed a three-page document without saving. I remember every word.
13. PlayStation b-ball last night. An intern almost blew out his Achilles. I clapped my hands together and fixed it, Miyagi style
14. The Tour is really heating up. I haven’t seen so much colored spandex since I took those step classes back in the 90’s.
15. If gamers ran the gov’t, healthcare reform would consist of health packs and power-ups placed in dark corners and behind stuff.
16. Dear interns, please close my office door when you’re done bringing my sales reports. I don’t want any awesomeness to leak out.
17. I can’t comment on rumors or speculation. However, the chances of a PS3 BieberBundle will depend on trending topics.
18. Just got back from my 5 year old nephew’s t-ball game. Man, those kids are sloppy. Errors all over the place.
19. Help me pick out some frames for my custom 3D glasses. I want something that’s intimidating but still flatters my face.
20. I sometimes wear amber tinted safety glasses when I play a fps. Just helps me get into it.
21. Just had a beer with Sweet Tooth. For a homicidal clown whose head is on fire, he’s pretty down to earth.
22. Looking into getting 3D lenses as part of my laser eye surgery next week. Seems doable.
23. Last night a guy came to my door to sell me magazines. I sold him a PS3. #KBStillGotIt
24. I hear Kratos vacations in Maui. He lays out on the beach with a Mai Tai in one hand and a decapitated head in the other.
25. I don’t tan, so during the summer I just wear lighter colored shirts and up the carrot juice.
26. ATTN Swedish furniture warehouse employees: if a bathroom is for display purposes only, how about a bigger sign?!?#DontGoInThere
27. Jack Tretton and I wore the same shirt today. So, I had to go shirtless in the status meeting to break the tension.
28. The Video Game Hall of Fame just asked me to donate the shirt I wore at #E3 to their collection. Be careful, it reeks of win.
29. What’d I think of Killzone 3 in 3D? Let’s just say The VP of Soiling Oneself in Excitement approves.
30. Scraps just transformed Take Your Dog to Work Day into Apologize for Ruining the Hallway Carpet Day.
31. I’m not going to say E3 was crazy, but I just wrote the words “dwarf centaur” on my expense report.
32. Today’s my birthday and once again the whole country is celebrating by blowing stuff up. #BOOMtothepowerofBOOM™
33. Did you know June is National Accordion Awareness Month? No? Then you must’ve missed Accordion Awareness Month awareness month.
34. Put a fork in #E310. Thx 4 all the speech love. Especially u folks up front. I was “this close” 2 doing an impromptu crowdsurf.#gamersrule
35. I just found an old breakup tape from my High School girlfriend. Careless Whisper FTW.
36. Took Scraps to the dog park. For a guy with the “li’l snip” he’s quite the lady killer.
37. There is gum under my desk that is not my flavor. Marcy? I want answers.
38. What’s life like as Kevin Butler? The girl at the coffee shop just gave me extra whipped cream. For free. #ThugLife.
39. I would like to announce that I’m donating all proceeds from my BOOM™ trademark to the Marcy Go Get Me a Coffee Fund.
40. Marcy, I’m glad Secretary’s Day is now Administrative Professional’s Day. “Secretary” was so demeaning. Now go pick up my dry cleaning.
41. I’m ready to watch the #TourDeFrance. I feel good. I’ve been training to watch it since October.
42. I’m not sure what is more unsettling: my mom following me on Twitter, or my lawyer following me on Twitter.
43. When I’m framing a photo of Jack Tretton, I prefer a 2″ matte with a beveled window in a nice eggshell hue. It really brings it together.
44. If there’s one thing #NaughtyBear has taught me it’s this: when camping, avoid the adorable bear with the machete.
45. I’m not going to say the ending to inFamous is a shocker, but… wait til you see that… shocker? Unintentional electricity pun FTW.
46. Lulz at whoever hung the “PS3 Flanboy” sign on my office door. Bigtime lulz.
47. Since the questions keep coming, yes I used to be an actor. But a 12-week direct mail business degree later, I’m a VP. So there.
48. God of War 3 is great, but it could use more blood. I only threw up twice.
49. KB’s Bad Video Game Pitch of the Day: An enraged carpet salesman seeks his vengeance upon his bearded boss. I call it “God of Floor”.
50. You should have to pass a test before you can bring homemade baked goods into the office. Was that cookie oatmeal or paste?

I can't get enough of that "noise". I feel empty if I go a week without hearing it.

I'm getting tired of receiving those messages from other users claiming that you will get free PSN credit for sending messages out to so many friends. Do people really believe that shit?

Hey, they get people to pay for virtual items of clothing and furniture in Home, so you're clearly dealing with a fairly gullible subset here.

Has anyone actually received any money (PSN credit) like they were told they would? I mean I have some people that have sent me these types of messages more than once or twice. It even has me wondering if somehow their accounts are hacked for mere moments to mass send this shit out to the friends in their list.

I've deleted a couple of friends who seem to send these out all the time after the third time I send a note saying its bullshit - look it up on the internet. Really if after three times there's no response from the sender ("sorry!" or "Really!?" ) then I don't need to clutter my friends list with mouth breathing imbeciles. Sorry to be so harsh.

I agree, I despise chain mails, and if someone isn't smart enough to stop sending them after I tell them it's a hoax then honestly I don't feel they are at the intellectual level to be on my list. Call it a "stupid test" if you will

Nice douche reply! :up:

At least Johnny's was :lol: I dont mind it too much, it just distracts when I beat a level and it happens during the cut scenes.

I've heard that if you buy the Warhawk expansions, it turns the trophy sound off.

Not sure if it's true, but certainly worth a try. :shrug:

I tried it just for the hell of it. It accepted the code. Shame I can't access Home since my PS3 keeps resetting everytime it tries to install the latest Home update. :lol:

So while playing Uncharted 2 earlier this evening i noticed the fan. It seems to have gotten much louder. I can literally still hear it even with the sound blasting. It's an 80 gb mgs4 system.

I googled ps3 80 gb fan and got this as one of the first results:

Has anyone tried this?

Interesting. I've been debating dumping my 60GB because of all the fan noise. No one ever believes me but it's louder (and more frequent) than the 360 ever was. Not good for a system I bought to mostly play movies. It's very distracting.

Go into Game Data and delete the Home data. When you go back to run Home, it will have to DL and reinstall (do it overnight) but then you can access it. If you're interested.

I’m still surprised by all of the fan noise posts I see here. My launch 60GB unit is still as quiet as the day I got it. If it wasn’t for the blue light, I wouldn’t even know it was on half the time.

Mine just started to make noise with the last Blu Ray movie I watched this past weekend. Apparently, it hated It's Complicated as much as I did.

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Software bugs? We don't need no software bugs
 
My 80 GB just started making a ton of fan noise in the last month or so. I have it standing vertically, which I know is frowned upon by most of the community, but it never gave me any trouble until recently. I agree that is is very distracting when watching a movie.

Thanks. Weird way to update but it worked. :up:

Poster and shirt were just decent at best. But I shouldn't complain as I refuse to pay for anything in Home. :lol:
