Heads up, I just got the email for my rewards from going to the PlayStation E3 experience.

Got mine too (Canada). Whoops, probably should have waited a bit before immediately buying Drawful 2, but it's not like I'm never spending money on PSN again.

A shitty post? This calls for a dance of deduction.
What happens after the end of the PSN Plus's free 14 day trial? Does it automatically register for PSN or does the trial simply end and it is up to you whether or not you want to purchase PSN plus?

So I can cancel at the 13th day and then register for PSN a minute later? The reason I'm asking is because I ordered a 12 month PSN card for$40. But it's in the mail and I want my PSN now! :(

if it's in the mail, you can just register now and add it on to your subscription when it gets there, unless for some reason it's going to take 14 days

Oh, so I still get the 14 days free? In other words if I enter the year subscription it won't start counting it until after the 14 days are up?

in almost every other situation, it tacks on to the end of whatever subscription you have, so I would think this wouldn't be any different, but I don't know for sure

FF1 iOS is the same graphics as the PSP version. I played through it years ago when my second gen iPod Touch was new. I remember being impressed.

I don't know why 5 and 6 are so loving uggo. I bought 6 on my iPhone thinking I could deal, I couldn't deal. Played only a few hours.

e: FF2 is the same as the PSP version also, FF2 is just a terrible game so who cares.

Playstation Vue just launched their Roku app and while the UI leaves a lot be desired I'm really digging being able to watch some cable channels again. I'm not sure how long I'll stick with it but its nice having the option.

I love the PSP Version of IV, but at the same time I love the 3D version gameplay changes. It feels really refreshing to play as the bosses have new tactics. Anyone who ever played the 3D version probably wasn't expecting Dr Lugae to be a hard boss who has a very nasty gimmick.

Yeah I'm fine with remakes that do something different with the game... I hate the mobile ports, which are basically taking a good visual style and making it look terrible with no redeeming qualities beyond being functional on a touch screen.

I also played that. And I loved the look. I don't understand the hate honestly. I liked FF3 on DS also.

The app is really rough right now. It keeps losing authentication so I have to keep logging onto the website to reauth. The UI is horrid. It is very mobile-centric with huge icons for each channel and far I can tell there is no way to have the channels in a list format.

Also, the channels are in a seemingly random order. On the PS4 the locals are first then the cable channels are in alphabetical order afterwards. On the Roku they are grouped by parent company, I think, but then completely random. Like all the Fox channels are near the end with the Fox channel. ABC is up a few rows from that but still near the end. Makes it a pain to channel surf. I know developers are not designers but I don't even know they still thought this was fine.

Yeah pretty much what he said. I have't had it drop my auth yet but I only used it last night.

I do have to say though that the picture quality is loving awesome!

I still need to figure out how to record poo poo though.

When the Steam sale hit, someone I follow on Twitter (Wario64 I think) said something like "There's a PSN flash sale this weekend too so budget accordingly" so I'm almost positive we're getting one

Flash sales tend to happen on the second to last weekend of the month, so this is not surprising. ( know next weekend is technically july, but next Tuesday is one more June PSN store update so this week was the second to last June PSN update)

You "record" stuff by marking a program as one of your shows. Going forward that will make it so that you can watch the recorded versions.

Some of the combat challenges are pretty great, but yeah the single player DLC isn't too hot.

If it's super cheap though, it's more Batman, and Mr. Freeze's little storyline is at least halfway decent.

No. Its great. The one thing at the end Im assuming they are referring to is the last mission takes 400,000 bucks to activate. If you fail it, you have to pay it again. This isnt as big of a deal as by the end of the game you can get that much money again in a pretty short time. A total playthrough lasts around 4-6 hours, but I played it for 35 before i actually beat it.
