Official PS3 Discussion/News Thread - No bashing!!

Yes we should make a prerequisite of having to finish SP campaign first on normal difficulty and/or checking by trophies.
 
guys prepare for a month with limited bandwidth. The Killzone 2 demo going live on EU PSN on thursday. So its Resi 5 and Kz2. Too many games
 
:eek::eek:
Resi 5 will have to wait then - can only afford 1 demo on my very limited cap, so my vote goes to KZ2.

Here you go, taken from ps3za forum:

NBnly possible if your ISP offer's free local bandwith...eg TELKOM.
As u know Telkom give's client's 30GIG free if u have a 3gig account with them.The SA/UK psn store downloads are stored locally!!!
1gig=10gig free
2gig=20gig free
3gig=30gig free
4gig=40gig free

Here's how to do it.
Log on to the SA/UK PSN store .(When you are nearly capped!!)
Select as much stuff as u want for downloading demo's,E3 trailers,WHATEVA(BUT NO THEMES AS THEY DONT DOWNLOAD IN THE BACKGROUND!!!)
Log out of the store and resume all downloads.
I download 23GIG'S of stuff in 4days!!!(u can even turn off you ps3 & continue them the next day!!!)
PS:If you are not capped it will use your local & international bandwith.
So only do this when you are nearly capped.

A neat trick is to have 2 adsl account's .
One TELKOM 3GIG.
One AXXESS 1GIG PREPAID account.
Use the AXXESS account to login into the store and queue the downloads.
Then change you username & password to the Telkom one afterwards,this way your AXXESS account does not get capped and you can still access the store every thursday when new content is their, with the AXXESS account.
NB:All unused AXXESS prepaid bandwith carries over to the next month ,and is valid for 3 years.

Come now! I wondered what to do with 30GIG local when I am intenationally capped. Thats good to know. Thanks



How do you resume the downloads?
Will an local only Axxess account not work?

Can the PS3 not play online locally? No local servers then?
 
So essentially it works like so:

- Log into PSN using your international cap and queue up the downloads
- Change to local cap and resume the downloads (Do you need to be signed in for this?)
 
nope, you can download without being signed in. Just resume on local and it works like a charm. I got the photo album app with local as well ;)

Change to local cap?? :confused:
 
I am Penguin said:
THX. Can the downloads be started in background now then paused to be resumed some time in future?

That is correct! I assume ZeroS means switching to another account with local or an ISP that allows you to split your traffic. If you with Telkom you gotta use up all int. bandwidth cause they only give blended accounts :(
 
I just bought 3GB local for R36.00 at axxess. Changed my router login and now downloading the Resident Evil 5 demo. Woohoooo!!!!!
Thursday it's Killzone 2 demo, man the next few months is packed with gaming :D
 
Tell me what the KZ2 demo is like when you get it stll deciding if I should download it :)

Axxess local R12bucks per GB and can do it via EFT! I'll be sure to post first impressions as soon as i get it. But i'm sure it'll exceed expectations ;)
 
R130 for 30 gigs at Openweb, even WebAfrica I've been told.

Only thing is that for Openweb is that you need to use it in the relevant month, also IS news servers are tripe.

I prefer Axxess.
 
Does anyone know if Shopto.net has an expedited/faster shipping method?
Pre-ordered KZ2 from them last night, but it seems only standard shipping is available.
