PSN Down Tomorrow, New Share Rules Active

Posted Nov 16, 2011 at 4:51PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: ps3 firmware, psn downtime, psn sharing

Today is your last day to buy games at the old five-system share rate. New Game limits are in place when the service comes back online.

We discussed Sony’s recent decision to change the game sharing limit from five games to two a few weeks back, and (judging from the comments) people didn’t seem too happy about the new policy. Regardless of booming customer complaints, Sony is moving forward with the plan and will take PSN down from 8am to 10pm (PST) tomorrow to implement the update.

This means if you want to buy games that still fall under the old five-game limit, you need to buy them before the service goes down tomorrow morning.

Sony is calling the 14-hour downtime “routine maintenance,” but it certainly seems like a long time for their online service to be off-limits. I don’t own a PS3 so I’m unfamiliar with their maintenance routine – please let me know in the comments if this is something they do frequently.

During the downtime, you won’t be able to access the PlayStation Store, Account Management or create new accounts, and you won’t be able to access your account via the web. Here’s one strange thing though, Sony indicates in their official blog that “some users” may still be able to play online. Some?

There’s also a PS3 firmware update included in the maintenance, but details are scant. We’ll keep you posted as we get more information.

How do you feel about the new game sharing limits?

PSP-to-Vita Transfers are Account-Based

Posted Nov 14, 2011 at 6:05PM EST by Listed in: PSP Tags: psp passport, psp umd, umd content

If you’re looking forward to transferring your UMDs from one device to the other, you’d better make sure your accounts are in order.

Last week, Sony announced that PSP owners would be able to move UMD content from their PSP devices directly to their Vitas (for a small fee, of course) through a service they’re calling “Passport.” The announcement was welcome in the PSP community, since it means replacing your massive UMD collection wouldn’t mean re-purchasing everything you already have.

However, there’s one important catch that’s worth noting before you start jumping for joy: transfers are tied to one PSN account.

Here’s the basic gist of what’s going on: if your UMDS are registered to a different account than your PS Vita, you won’t be able to move any of that data to the device. Everything, including the PSP, Vita, and UMD content, must be registered to a singular PSN account to be eligible for transfer. This probably won’t hurt a majority of gamers, but a few more hardcore folks, or people that have gone through more than one account, may find their content library split between devices.

Sony has been on an anti-sharing tear lately; we’ll just have to see how the player community reacts. What do you think about the Passport program?

Sony Dropping PSN Game Share Limit

Posted Nov 4, 2011 at 1:48PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: psn sharing

PlayStation 3 owners are about to lose one of the system’s best features – the ability to share PSN games with up to five other devices.

Sony just announced that the PSN share limit is changing from five devices to two as of November 18th. Any content purchased on or after that date will only be available for sharing across two devices, a stark change from the previous policy. You’ll still be able to play two PSPs and two PS3’s, bringing the potential total to four, but that’s only for games that can operate on both systems. Otherwise, you’re stuck with just the two.

To clarify: PSN games downloaded after November 18th can be shared to two PS3 systems and two PSPs, down from the original number of five. Sony is also adding a web tool that finally allows you to deactivate your account from old systems, saving you the hassle of a long customer support call in the event that your PS3 fails and you need to recover your games on a new console.

Game sharing was always one of the more interesting things that PSN brought to the table, allowing you to “bring” games to your friend’s house or share them with a family member’s account when you were home for the holidays. While reports of abuse certainly came up, most gamers probably used the system exactly as intended.

Paring down the total number of systems probably won’t impact too many people, but it’s still a strange thing to do so far into the development cycle. The comments section of the PlayStation blog shows a pretty clear resistance to the idea, so we’ll just have to see how it plays out.

What do you think of the new reduced sharing limit?

New Site Helps Gamers Opt-Out of Constrictive EULAs

Posted Oct 4, 2011 at 12:38PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: EULA, opt-out, origin, psn, reddit

Backlash over the insertion of class-action prevention clauses leads a group of gamers to build a site that helps other people opt-out of these rights-limiting agreements.

In a recent software update, PSN inserted a clause that prevents gamers from participating in a class-action lawsuit against Sony into the EULA. Many gamers saw it as a shady response to the recent lawsuits filed over the PSN privacy breach, and if you accepted the new EULA agreement when you updated your PS3, you’ve already waived your right to participate in a similar lawsuit if your information is compromised again.

In order to opt-out of the clause while still accepting the EULA (and thus, being allowed to use PSN), you have to mail a physical letter to the Sony legal department. Obviously, Sony is banking on the idea that most people are going to accept the EULA without reading it, and won’t find out about the rights they’ve waived until something goes wrong. However, a group of Redditors incensed over the change has created GamersOptOut.com, a site designed to help gamers opt out of these rights-hampering clauses.

The site currently allows you to choose which EULA you have an issue with, either Sony/PSN or EA/Origin. You’ll have to enter your account name and a few personal details, and the site will generate and send your opt-out letter on your behalf. You can donate money to the cause if you want, but all letters are free of charge.

Naturally, you should always be cautious with your personal information, especially when it comes to your online accounts. You always take a risk sharing info with someone via the web, but the site’s owners are publicly listed and you can find their gamertags right on the page.

If you don’t use the site, you should still walk through the simple process of writing the opt-out letter and sending it in. If something goes wrong with Origin or PSN and your identity is compromised, you’ll want the full protection of the law rather than what the parent company has decided you deserve.

Music Unlimited coming to PSP; NGP too?

Posted Apr 1, 2011 at 3:07AM EST by Mabie A. Listed in: PS Vita, PSP Tags: music unlimited, Sony

Sony's now confirmed that Music Unlimited, their cloud-based music subscription service on the PS3 is coming to their handhelds.

Good news for music lovers/ PSP fans/ NGP fans-to-be out there! Sony's now confirmed that Music Unlimited, their cloud-based music subscription service is coming to their handhelds.

Currently, Music Unlimited is available only on the PS3, but "in a matter of weeks" will soon be available for access on the PSP.

As a service, Music Unlimited boasts of six million songs, which you can get your hands on via two options. First, there's the basic plan, which offers you genre-specific and era-specific channels. This one costs you £3.99 or €3.99. Meanwhile, the premium service gives you more variety by providing for on-demand access to any and all songs in their ginormous music library, as well as additional channels with new music, all for £9.99 or €9.99 a month.

"The heard of the offering here," explains EVP and CEO of Sony Network Entertainment Shawn Layden, "is that with the one account you can access this music on your TV, your PS3, your laptop, your Blu-ray player, and have your music follow you wherever you go, rather than having to download all of your music into a device and make that device go with you everywhere."

"You can see that in the gaming world, because you can pull down PSP games across a PS3 and associate that with your portable player. You can create your account in your country home on your PS3 and access the same content you purchase on your other PS3 home. Associated sharing is already happening."

So what of it coming to the NGP? "We will make it happen," Layden said. "There are still very few details that have come out in the marketplace about the launch. The folks at Sony Computer Entertainment will have a big reveal of exactly what the scope of that entire feature set is going to be."

He also revealed their plans of bringing the service to Android devices, as well as Xperia Play.
