Sell me on the PS3

iirc the PS store requires you to deposit money before making a transaction. It can't be less than a certain amount or something. Fucking scummy.

Demons souls
Dark souls 1

t. Sony cuck

You need to make an account with your name and address. You pay with a card, paypal or by mobile phone. It is still supported but some games won't work online anymore, just as they don't on other platforms. These are usually third party games. On the EU store theres about thousand games. I would only ever buy games on sale, though. The PSOne/PS2 classics are cheap but the section is hard to find.

You have to buy PSN fake bux in articially increments. They always take more money than you can spend. If game is $9 they take $10. If game is $15 they take $20. PS3 was one of the gayest and most Jewish fag consoles ever.

NieR. It's not exclusive, but then, neither is ZotE.

And I'm not saying NieR due to Automata. The original is still my favorite game, and has been for 5 years at this point (before that, it was Secret of Mana).

This used to be the case a while ago. Not anymore. Also it's better to use store.playstation.com because the console app gets really laggy and crashes after browsing a few titles.

>>377680357
That's only true if you are buying shit for less than 5 bucks. If it costs more than 5 bucks, they take exactly what they would charge for the game.

>>377680368
Nier is 100% unequivocal garbage. No joke, no lies, no exaggeration. Game is 100% shit. Do not play it OP. Don't waste your money or your time.

PS App is best if you have more than one online console (I have a PSP, PS3, Vita, and PS4). Getting to see every game that's on sale at once is great, and it loads up great (at least on my iPhone 6s).

>>377680490
On my device, the store page just locks up after browsing a few pages. Guess Sony don't need my money.

>>377680420
The redesign they did of the PS Store was a disaster. It used to be so functional and lean. I hope they did backpedal on that policy since it turned me off the whole store.

Someone's butt bothered.

>>377680576
That seems to happen on my PS3 launch 60GB console. No idea why, considering I'm pretty sure the launch version is the most powerful PS3. It's always a dice roll as to whether the store will load, or if the bars will just lock up.

>>377680725
On mine it will start performing slow then crash to XMB. Sometimes completely and the console restarts.

Android devices are a nightmare to program for. Too much variety is what's used. Sony probably just optimized their app for Sony phones, vanilla google (Pixel and Nexus), and said "Fuck it," on everything else.

Dragons crown you fuck.

>>377680882
Yeah. It's been that way since they redesigned the store. Don't know why they couldn't be assed to fix it. Thank fuck for the PS app on my phone, or I would never get anything off the PS Store for my PS3.

since this looks like a ps3 thread, does anyone get that issue where, trying to download 7 or so GB non-stop will crash the ps3? has happened to me a few times so am wondering if this is a known issue or not

>>377680895
Even the web store freezes up on my phone using the latest Chrome. No other site does this.

>>377681050
Never bothered with the web store, so I can't comment. The app works good enough to where I don't care. The app also lets you begin the download without needing to turn on the system or enter the store.

>>377681138
I thought the app just overlays the web interface when you access the store?

>>377681190
No clue. All I know is that I open the PS app, click on the shopping bag, and it loads right up. No locking, no crashing, no lag.

Again, from the iphone 6s.

>>377681310
If you're actually wanting shit to just werk (tm), it's smart to just pick up the newest iphone the day it releases, and then just keep it until it's no longer supported (about 5 years). The entire time the phone is supported, literally everything will work, app-wise.

Katamari Forever is dope. Grab Noby Noby Boy when it goes on sale.
Tales of Vesperia is the best basic japanese learning material IMO.
Yakuza 3 & 4.

OP here, thanks for the advice about the online store. Only a handful of titles that I'd want there.

>>377680951
This is one I had singled out as being worth the buy, truth be told.

>>377682107
Don't knock the store. Tons of sales on there, making games dirt cheap.

Get a hackable PS3, and pirate all the games

Not really knocking it. I've been jonesing for som ps1 classics, and Emulation hasn't helped. I just wanted to know if there were hidden fees or monthly subscriptions/licenses I'd need to keep playing them moving forward

>>377682446
Not unless you get the games for free from PS+. Even if you pay for PS+. if you pay even 1 cent for a game, its yours forever. Free games are taken away when you drop PS+, and given back if and when you renew.

Personally, I don't recommend it unless you are planning on picking up a LOT of games during sales (PS+ typically knocks another 10-20% off the price).

All of those are garbage games.

These are the only good games available to ShitStation 3 and ShitStation 4.
