I'm supposed to go to a friend's house to download it there? Really? That's the troubleshoot? I HAVE NO FRIENDS DOE

Just finished Journey and man what a game. I did not think I would have enjoyed it the way I did. Now to go back and get the rest of the trophies



Also some new Killzone: Mercenary and Tearaway scans. There will be more info coming this week on the PS Blog.
I heard it's using the Killzone 3 engine and it will look better than Uncharted Golden Abyss so definitely one to look out for.

Ahhhhhhh! Must resist! :{

I told myself I have to finish 3 games before I buy it. (Fallout: New Vegas, Dishonored, and GTA IV Complete Edition).

Its taking longer than anticipated. Doesnt help I picked the longest games in history. :lol

Is it free-roam, or more linear?

[COLOR=#red]The Newest PlayStation Plus Perks Revealed
Plus, get a great deal on a PS+ subscription.

Sony has revealed the newest PlayStation Plus perks for North America. (You can go to our earlier story here for the newest European-centric perks.)

Starting on Tuesday, January 29th, users will be able to download Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus for PlayStation Vita free of charge. Madden 13 on both PS3 and Vita will be 30% off. And the PSN games Gatling Gears, Section 8: Prejudice and Greed Corp will all be 50% off.

Additionally, Sony has announced that if you purchase a new one-year PlayStation Plus subscription between now and March 4th, you will get an extra three months free of charge (for 15 months total). Keep in mind that subscriptions can be stacked, so you don’t have to wait until you’re about to run out if you want to take advantage of the offer.

Sony also revealed an interesting statistic that we’ll leave you with in closing. For a one year $50 PlayStation Plus account in 2012, users could have saved as much as $2,472 on free and discounted games, DLC and more. That’s nearly 50 times the cost of the subscription.
 
I was just going to post that PS+ deal.

Glad they've brought it back.
 
MGS: Rising demo is pretty good, kinda reminds me of a toned down Bayonetta. Wish Bayonetta wasnt exclusive to WiiU :{

Pre-order customers will also receive a Japanese voiceover track. “This pack will be sold separately, but the only way to get it right at launch for no added cost is to pre-order,” Sony notes.

Project lead Keiji Inafune (known, of course, as the creator of Mega Man) released the following statement about Soul Sacrifice:

“I’m excited that we are finally able to announce the release date of Soul Sacrifice. I have put all my passion and soul into the game’s concept and my talented team has made an incredible effort to create the best game it could ever be. I’m confident that we’ve created an extremely engaging game that you will enjoy playing.

The game has become nothing like any other game with an original and deep world settings which could only be possible in a dark fantasy environment. I’m looking forward to you being able to experience the unique adventure of real heroism in Soul Sacrifice. Immerse yourself in the world of Soul Sacrifice and have fun playing it!”

One hardware thread per core
Decodes, executes and retires at up to two intructions/cycle
Out of order execution
Per-core dedicated L1-I and L1-D cache (32Kb each)
Two pipes per core yield 12,8 GFlops performance
102.4 GFlops for system



GPU:

- Minor boost if used for rendering

Dual Shader Engines:

- 1.6 billion triangles/s, 1.6 billion vertices/s

18 Texture units

- 56 billion bilinear texture reads/s

- Can utilize full memory bandwith

8 Render backends:

- 32 color ops/cycle

- 128 depth ops/cycle

- Can utilize full memory bandwith



Memory:

4 GB unified system memory, 176 GB/s
3.5 available to games (estimate)
