Uncharted 2 Title Update
The next time you start up UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves you will be required to download an update to the game (Japan and Asia regions — your update will be available next week).
Here’s the list of (most of) the changes we made. Some changes have been withheld to protect the innocent.
* Addressed respawn points when the artifact goes out of bounds in the Plunder gametype
* Dynamically adjust the win condition for fewer players during the course of a match
* Added features to deter players from voluntarily leaving during a match
* Added rate limit to “When a Chapter is Completed” Twitter event
* Fixed a display issue during letterboxing
* Fixed Danish Trophy description
* Fixed screenshot utility in standard definition resolutions
* Fixed the “Players Met” list not displaying recent players
* Addressed a variety of Multiplayer connectivity issues
Double Cash Weekend has started as well and continues until Monday, November 2, 2009, at 11:00 AM PST.
In every match during Double Cash Weekend, you’ll be getting twice the Cash award you normally would for completing typical game actions – not medal-related currency awards – giving everyone a leg up in increasing their Rank for a limited time.

God of War III: Ultimate Edition
$100
it would be great to do the god of war 3 release along w\ the HD 1+2 pack they're putting out here in november.
But I guess they can advertise 3 along w\ the remastered 1 and 2 that you could buy here in a couple weeks.
I Finally got an HDMI switch for my tv ( only has 1 hdmi port ) and it's great... It automatically switches to the ps3 when I turn it on and back to my dvr when I turn it off.
Yeah, that's pretty much what they're doing, because the God of War Collection comes with a demo for God of War III. I can't wait to get my hands on it and try it out. 11/17 can't some soon enough.Originally Posted by itadakimasu

I think I know precisely what I mean

But wouldn't that be affected by the region of your account?
Im under the impression that if I had funds on my Japanese PSN account I could buy stuff from there.
Heck... I have 3 accounts. An American, one from Europe and a Japanese one. I can get the free demos from all 3, but have only bought from the American one, which is a pain since I have to import a PSN Card.
Yeah, you can buy games and stuff from other PSN stores, but DLC won't work on another region's game. Like if you have the US Version of Rock Band, you can't use songs from the EU PSN on it, because it's region coded.
That I do agree. But if you imported a Japanese PS3 to use American games it would be no problem to get the American DLC, right?
Its just that Ryll's post on not all being region free wasn't very especific.
DLC and Blu-ray are affected by region, the rest works fine.
The Japanese Blu-Ray Region is the same one as the American one.
Hence my question of why Ryll says importing one would not help him (besides the DVD's and PSone games)
I wasn't specific at the time because I couldn't be. I don't own a PS3, so it really came down to a quick 10 minute google search. Between the discussion here and some additional research, maybe this will be more enlightening:
It may not seem like a lot when you first look at it, but region-locked DLC is a big issue for this generation of consoles. Publishers are huge on DLC now (enough that some criticize that games are going gold intentionally unfinished or loaded with locked content).
Of course, this is coming from someone who doesn't own a PS3, and where Microsoft has been considerably more aggressive in getting exclusive or timed-exclusive DLC. I'm expecting Sony to respond in turn. It may be that it is not as prominent on PSN as it is on XBL, without owning one I'm not qualified to answer that. Still, if the past year or two have been any indication, DLC is only going to increase dramatically for both consoles, and this generation will be a lot longer for both Sony and Microsoft. The two each have peripherals intended to close the gap with the Wii, if not surpass it, in order to extend the cycle further.
So while it might not seem like a big deal given that one can always import PSN cards, it might just be more of a hassle than it is worth, similar to what you said RZ. There is only going to be more DLC in the coming years. Independent of the two manufacturers, it is going to be Activision and EA pushing for more the hardest. Indie developers too.
DLC might be the only thing region locked, but I think you might be downplaying the importance of that in the coming year or two.
Maybe Im not explaining myself... or maybe I am getting confused myself but...
How is DLC region-locked? Why would you not be able to download stuff from the American Store if you own a Japanese Console? The DLC is directly linked to your PSN Account and not the console. Or am I wrong here?
Currently I have 5 dollars on my American PSN account. I also have an European and Japanese Account, and correct me if Im wrong, but if I owned an European or Japanese PSN Card I would be able to download from those accounts as well.
Am I wrong? If so please do tell. For I still can't see the issue regarding DLC.
For instance... if you owned an American game why would you try to get a DLC from the Japanese store if the same content is available on the American store? Or if you owned a Japanese game, why would you try the American or European store for DLC.
Like I said... Im confused here Ryll.
What I'm finding from search is that all DLC is region locked. Stand alone to the console, and in-game to the region the game is from.
Don't you think that needing three accounts is a bit excessive? I know they're free on PSN, but still...
I believe he's talking about stand alone DLC, not used for games.

Why would it be excessive, some content either doesn't show up at all, or shows up much earlier in other regions.
Yeah, it's pretty necessary. I have a Japan, Asia, and US account as well.
