PSN Thursday: DLCsplosion edition
by Jem Alexander 
{ Apr 16th 2009 at 5:00PM } 
Today's PSN update is sadly lacking in full games, but there's plenty of DLC to keep you busy. PixelJunk Eden Encore sees the light of day, along with three packs of Valkyria Chronicles content and all the usual Rock Band, Guitar Hero and LittleBigPlanet downloads. While it's an expensive week for DLC lovers, it's too bad there's no love for PSP owners.

Ezio Auditore de Firenze (PSN slycooper_rocker) @ Apr 16th 2009 5:26PM
1. hack your psp
2. get resistance retribution (legally!)
3. rip it to your memory stick
3a. if your memory stick is too small, go to best buy and buy an 8GB memory stick for $40.
4. WIN!!!
PSN: John-Paul-Jones @ Apr 16th 2009 6:24PM
They have to go back and do licensing shit again, that's why.
Ezio Auditore de Firenze (PSN slycooper_rocker) @ Apr 16th 2009 6:33PM
hey JPJ, haven't seen you in a while!
Khaled @ Apr 16th 2009 6:53PM
how do i rip games on my hacked PSP? I have it hacked but i dont want to download games illegally.
Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Apr 16th 2009 7:03PM
I dont wanna hear that Licensing bullshit when its a FIRST Party Title...SCEE had NO problem getting it on there...
Ezio Auditore de Firenze (PSN slycooper_rocker) @ Apr 16th 2009 7:27PM
@ Khaled
easy. press select when you're at the XMB to open the VSH menu. change the 'USB Mode' to 'UMD Disk" and connect it to your computer. open the drive where your psp is and copy the only file there is to where ever you want to put it. then change the usb mode back to memory stick and put it in the ISO folder. you can rename the ISO file if you want.

I don't necessarily agree with the law but there is now way to rip something legally. By ripping a dvd or game you are violating the DMCA (digital millenium copyright act) specifically the section about digital locks. The specific section provides as follows:
TITLE 17 CHAPTER 12 § 1201
§ 1201. Circumvention of copyright protection systems
Violations Regarding Circumvention of Technological Measures.—
(1)
(A) No person shall circumvent a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work protected under this title.
it also states that:
(2) No person shall manufacture, import, offer to the public, provide, or otherwise traffic in any technology, product, service, device, component, or part thereof, that-
(A) is primarily designed or produced for the purpose of circumventing a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work protected under this title;
(B) has only limited commercially significant purpose or use other than to circumvent a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work protected under this title; or
(C) is marketed by that person or another acting in concert with that person with that person’s knowledge for use in circumventing a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work protected under this title.
and most importantly...the definition of circumvention is:
(3) As used in this subsection—
(A) to “circumvent a technological measure” means to descramble a scrambled work, to decrypt an encrypted work, or otherwise to avoid, bypass, remove, deactivate, or impair a technological measure, without the authority of the copyright owner; and
(B) a technological measure “effectively controls access to a work” if the measure, in the ordinary course of its operation, requires the application of information, or a process or a treatment, with the authority of the copyright owner, to gain access to the work.
Again, I don't necessarily think this is right...actually I believe this law represents an unfair and completely out of place extension of the Copyright Act...but it's the law and a lot of people thing they can actually rip games the own legally which isn't true! (although it is completely ridiculous and that is why we lobby and fight when congress enacts this sort of laws).
so there...I hope it helped...

Hey slycooper, I haven't much of you and the PS3 Fanboy crowd when the site merged. It's great to see you.
@ Aggie
Hey, I know what you mean. I also want some (actually, a lot) of the great PS1 titles to hit the North American PS Store, too. It's a shame it's taking this long while the Japanese region is abundant of those classic PS1 titles, but hopefully it'll be out sooner than we think. On a side note, SCEA missed the chance when MGS4 came out, as they could have placed MGS1 on the store beforehand. They would have sold hot cakes but it's a shame that window of opportunity is lost
Jinsenken @ Apr 16th 2009 5:09PM
I wish I still had my PS3....
My PSP is so boring. No money for games, and since it's the 3000, I can't hack it :(
dextro @ Apr 16th 2009 5:10PM
I fell your pain...
finalstar @ Apr 16th 2009 5:41PM
Thats why i still have my launch psp 1000.. still as new as the day i bought it and its hacked :D lol see what i do is i buy my games and then put them on my MS so there wont be any downloading :D lol
WRE @ Apr 16th 2009 5:16PM
Is the Valkyria Chronicles DLC any good? Guys? Anybody know?
-Jad- @ Apr 16th 2009 6:25PM
I got it and look worth it ^^
j.howlett @ Apr 16th 2009 5:17PM
monkey king! yes
Ezio Auditore de Firenze (PSN slycooper_rocker) @ Apr 16th 2009 5:27PM
i'll be getting the selvaria and edy DLC for VC and the LBP costume... VC is hard enough as it is, the new extra hard mode would be impossible for me considering how much i rely on the edelweiss.
Xoonaka @ Apr 16th 2009 5:31PM
That's odd, I don't hardly use the tank at all!! I don't know why, but having to use two command points to use it always turned me off to it.... but even though I'm no expert, I still look forward to the hard mode quite a bit. I don't think Hard is worth $5.... but.... the game is worth way more then I paid for it, so I'm gonna buy it and hope it helps recoup some of the poor sales in order to encourage some sort of sequel (whether it's the same characters or not, whatever, I just love the gameplay and art style).
finalstar @ Apr 16th 2009 5:42PM
Chose the snipers, their the best to won this game :D
Ezio Auditore de Firenze (PSN slycooper_rocker) @ Apr 16th 2009 6:35PM
@ finalstar
oh trust me, i use a sniper in almost every battle. marina is one of my favorite characters. i've been stuck at barious desert for like a month. i've bought every upgrade possible, did the skirmishes, everything. i still can't beat it.
finalstar @ Apr 16th 2009 6:39PM
lol marina is my favorite as well but to tell you the truth i still haven't made it to that chapter yet, im at the start of chapter 6 :P. i keep on switching between this game and disgaea 3. but what really works for me are the snipers and the tank
Ezio Auditore de Firenze (PSN slycooper_rocker) @ Apr 16th 2009 7:29PM
haha, i just passed the battle with an A rank! i only used two scouts and didn't even touch the edelweiss! that made my day.
Ezio Auditore de Firenze (PSN slycooper_rocker) @ Apr 16th 2009 9:33PM
ok... maximillion's tank is pretty easy but DAMN, i hate selvaria. she took down my two engineers that were backing up my lancers. i got screwed so hard because of her. she killed alicia and rosie too. :/
343 Guilty Fart @ Apr 16th 2009 5:31PM
As soon as I get off work I'll be dowloading Pixeljunk Eden encore, can't wait to see the new levels!
Roto13 @ Apr 16th 2009 5:33PM
LBP costume for me, 'cause it's free. I'll probably also grab the Pixeljunk Eden theme, but not the DLC itself. :P
Jerome T @ Apr 16th 2009 5:35PM
I just picked up both Magic Ball Dlc and PJE DLC, and guess what they are not working, hope this gets resolved soon, it is on the ps forums as well, all who downloaded can not access either.
Geo @ Apr 16th 2009 5:44PM
Why happened to PuzzleQuest:Galactrix? It was listed to release today.
pat1202003 @ Apr 16th 2009 5:48PM
YAY Sonic Unleashed DLC!!!!!
Diskoboy7 @ Apr 16th 2009 5:53PM
Still haven't beaten stage 7 of the original 'Eden'...
It's damn frustrating.
Ashitaka @ Apr 16th 2009 9:24PM
Just beat the other stages. Then go back to 7 when you're finally done.
7 requires a great deal of concentration, you just have to get used to the gravity changes.
Zach Adams @ Apr 16th 2009 6:26PM
I wish they'd hurry up and release Bomberman Ultra. Wasn't it gold over a month ago?
Forelli_Boy @ Apr 16th 2009 11:23PM
Weren't both MC:LA vehicle packs supposed to come out at the same time? Just checkin.
