Talk Playstation 3 News

SCEE was quicker then SCEA on the forum integration with the PSN. But then overtaken again with the homepage integration. From today you’ll able to display your own gamercard from EU side (rather then state side)

The SCEE version of the gamer card will look like this.

Upon logging in on the secure website of eu.playstation.com you will be prompted to merge your website account with your PSN account. Making everything one whole.

At the moment the favourite game list is very very limited to only 6 games which include one game that was just released and one that was pushed back. You also have the ability to set a mood.

A few good things are that you are able to see you friends list from the page and an events calendar.

Go take a look for yourself if you life in europe.

After reporting about the bug in WipeOut HD many people were worried about purchasing the game. Either because they were worried that their PS3 would get stuck known with games like Uncharted, or they couldn’t play online because of their huge friends list.

Studio Liverpool has (finally) released a patch for the friends list bug where you weren’t able to play online (or had major slowdowns in menu’s). When you start up you WipeOut game you will be requested to install the patch.
There some bad news though. If you had issues with the game, you will be required to manually delete your save file after installing the patch. This means you will lose all you lap times, team loyalties, single-player stats and options.
You will however not lose you trophies and leaderboard scores.

So question to our readers, it is worth losing all you stats, lap times and team loyalties to finally play online with you friends? My opinion is if you have more then 50 of them who own WipeOut HD you do, if it’s less, delete some till you have around 40 patch up try the game and see if it works. Don’t forget to message your friends to re-add you, as it would be crazy to re-add them all yourself.

Update: Seems the patch did more then only fix the friends list bug. It also improved the Music Playback, Custom Playlist playback, online stability and accurate tracking of tournament scores.

Another fix was the ability to switch between Tournament End Race results in Online Multiplayer using the square button.

You can read about these fixes yourself in the Online section under the announcements tab.

According to playstationlifestyle.net it seems the PSN friendslist limit of 50 persons has been increased but to which amount currently isn’t known yet.

The author did not have a problem of reaching the limit recently but due to a friend notifying him of this ‘change’.

Then one of my friends messaged me saying they just counted their friends and they have over 50. I didnt believe it and i assumed he had also counted himself. So i tried this myself and i counted a total of 55 friends plus myself. I had to do this three times and i came with the same figure.

If this is the case it might be that firmware 2.36 increased the limit. This is understandable as with HOME approaching your friends list might increase much rapidly.

Update: Seems the limit is now 100 if we believe tazzer1 on the GameTrailers.com forum
