Yes the touch sensitive buttons irk me somewhat too

Mine doesn't get much use as I have invested rather heavily into DLC for a certain game I have on the 360....

Nice little write up though

Just having a browse around the PSN store, so many PS1 games! I was a huge PS1 fan so this store essentially has my youth in one handy place.

Edit: OMG Future Cop LAPD, I loved that game soooooooooo much!

Psymonkee · 27-07-2009, 13:57

Don't remind me

Credit card at the ready!

ooo I nearly forgot - enjoy the colour changing menu (default theme) based on time of day

Very cool feature I thought

Having seen the prices, I can see how Microsoft have done a great trick. I look at something on XBLM priced at 1200 points, and I don't think £10, I think 1200 points. With PSN pricing things with 'real' money, some things seem a bit expensive when they probably aren't anymore pricey than XBLM stuff.
I am sorely tempted by either Crash Bandicoot 3 or Future Cop LAPD but I'm resisting for now as I'm really trying not to spend more money!

Aye, prices are pretty identical for multiplatform stuff but the market place always seems less... intimidating. PS3 exclusive stuff is a bargain though tbh, iirc you can get SSHD with all expansions for less than a fiver, flower is also less than a tenner.

The way I see it with a bit of craft bargain hunting I can get 2100MSP for 12 quid which makes the Marketplace stuff very variable in price

Having said which real money is nice too....

Jen if you want to borrow any of my stuff just give me a shout!

And strike 1 for the PS3!

Just tried to purchase the Wipeout Fury add-on pack for WipeoutHD and I can't add funds to my wallet.

Why I hear you ask? Simply put it has my old card details which have since been cancelled after some kind person carried out some fraudulent activity using my details

However there is no option to delete details or to add any new ones :/

A touch annoyed I thinks
