Free up space? I just added to my download queue. Haven't actually tried downloading it. Will try when I get home to see if it worked

Yeah, I bought it on the phone. It's back up to full price but it's still giving me the option to download to my PS3. Success!

Thanks guys. My hard-drive was full so I couldn't download it, but because I'm an idiot I never thought that it would still be in my library, and it is!

I was able to download the starter pack with no issues in the last hour.

Anyone else having trouble downloading Yakuza 5? It says I haven't enough free space but I've almost 60GB free on system?

How big is the download file?
You need double the hd space to download and then install the game.

23GB, so I have plenty of space.

Thanks for your recent contact to PlayStation Support.

I can see from your contact that your having problems with purchasing the new Paragon content from the PlayStation Store. Our team have now confirmed that this has been resolved and you should now be able to purchase this content.

I hope this helps, but if you have any other questions please call PlayStation Support using the contact details below.

Thank you,

Guess they sorted it after getting contacted by people.

Not even sure I'm going to play it, some stuff look extremely bad. No clue what a hero challenge is but the higher priced packs get more and it apparently takes 100 hours each to earn them.

Have to say, the second boss in Furi is pretty epic. Not entirely sold on some of the gameplay mechanics, but definitely all gel together to create a pretty intense, pleasantly gruelling battle. Will see how it goes from here - can forsee a few ruthless design choices (such as having to restart a round if your health bar gets knocked down) growing frustrating if some of the bosses are significantly harder. That second boss hit just the right mark though.

The in between fight walks are painfully slow though.

I don't think that is the case any more. They changed that in an update a year or so back.

Don't think it was ever the case on PS4, still there on PS3 I think.

Yeah, you still need double the space on the PS3.

I missed it, ah well, just 1 less game to digitally hoard.
€90 worth of games not including Paragon and Yakuza this month

Hoping to crack into them this weekend.

Played through Gat Out Of Hell with a friend in one sitting. Enjoyable enough, even if the game is made up of sidequests.

Same here, future digital hoarding for something i may or may not buy....


Maybe i should buy Xbox live too without the consoles....

Perhaps they have a PS3 with an active PS+ sub? What's wrong with adding PS4 games to your library in that situation?

He wasn't saying there was anything wrong with it.

That's a joke. He was saying that he hoards the PS4 games from PS Plus even though he doesn't have one just like the OP. I'm doing the same thing myself.

Did anyone else have a problem with last months NBK16 game? Everytime I try and download it I get an error message.

Just have to keep restarting the download,my best results came when i got it started and threw the console straight into rest mode. If i left it downloading in the background it kept failing. Common problem though so nothing wrong your end on the bright side.

The Application Data file subsequent to the initial download was quite a hefty size from what I remember, I didn't have too much trouble with it but if I had my PS4 back home in Cavan with our crappy internet I probably wouldn't have even bothered trying to download it.

I was joking sheessh !!

I do the same thing, i dont have a PS4, but purchase the free games just in case.

I could buy the yearly xbox live sub and get games in case i get an xbox one.

What's with Kill Strain being free for a week (12-19 / 7)

"this price is only available from 12/07/2016 to 19/07/16"

Never mind it's just the way they have it on the store, it's exclusive for plus for that week then it's available to everyone.

Fúck the third boss in Furi. Complete waste of time.

Must be up there with one of the worst boss battles I've ever played in a videogame.

johnny_ultimate

Yeah it's an appalling fight. I've played plenty of bullet hell shooters in my time so am more than familiar with dodging waves of projectiles, but that boss is a tedious, unfair bore and made more so by the design choices of the game overall. Such a shame after the excellent second one.
