One tip I was surprised wasn't mentioned is that you can share your PSN purchases with your friends. You can buy something on the PSN and using your account you can give it to up to 5 (IIRC) friends. Using you own console you can also upload PSOne games to up to 5 different PSP's (again, IIRC).

Further, you can access you PS3's media or even PSOne games with your PSP from any wifi spot.

So is this sharing actually piracy?

Sony says it's OK if I download 1 game and then give it away to 5 people?

Wow! Sounds like a winning forumula for the dev's. For every 1 you sell 5 people get it for free.

buddy of mine logged onto my ps3 to download wipeout for me that he purchased on his account but I get a key error when trying to play but downloaded the key file as well, is there a option for sharing I dont see that would allow me to play?

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle70d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.

My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.

Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.

Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
