Are you guys going to give out more PSN Battlefield 1943 codes :[
ch3lo_91 @ Jul 9th 2009 5:26PM
I want to know too :(
SaltyGary @ Jul 9th 2009 4:51PM
Hopefully EA will have it's head out of their ass and the Sony Ponies will be able to play a match on launch day. For me I just sit and wait.
Mein Bratwurst @ Jul 9th 2009 5:02PM
Your "Sony Ponies" act is about as boring as sprinkles' "holier than thou" was.
Kill a mans jiro @ Jul 9th 2009 5:27PM
And Just to let you know, the servers a fine.
Kill a mans jiro @ Jul 9th 2009 5:28PM
On the PS3 that is.
Viney @ Jul 9th 2009 6:10PM
What's so clever about calling people a sony pony? Seriously. What do you actually mean by it? Is it because it rhymes? So what, you've discovered 2nd grade vocabulary?
TheDemiurge @ Jul 9th 2009 7:49PM
Sony Ponies sounds incredibly stupid. Sony's Cronies is a much better term. And I say this as a PS3 fan.
VEX @ Jul 10th 2009 12:28AM
Guys, don't get angry. Just call him a Micro-Softcock and get on with things.
John @ Jul 9th 2009 4:55PM

phinnvr6 @ Jul 9th 2009 4:57PM

SaMav @ Jul 9th 2009 4:59PM

SoCoolCurt (PSN: KillaKornbread - XBL: SoCoolCurt) @ Jul 10th 2009 3:17AM
they kept showing those videos of it on the PSN and got me all excited for it.....and then delay it. i really can't wait for that to come out, that game is going to be awesome. hopefully we get it next week or something.
mars @ Jul 9th 2009 4:56PM
im still pissed cause you guys sent out those codes, then the site didn't exist when the time came to redeem them. or did I miss something? I still have a code, but its probably been used or something
Roto13 @ Jul 9th 2009 5:18PM
I checked the link a bunch of times when the codes were supposed to be valid and it has been dead. :P And to think I had that on my bulletin board, staring at me for weeks.
Sly @ Jul 9th 2009 5:26PM
i went on the website when it went up, i typed in the PSN code, and it said xbox codes only. i was like WTF?!?!?!

Shadsy @ Jul 9th 2009 5:19PM
I am a Battlefield fan and I have absolutely no idea what song you're trying to do.
Drew @ Jul 9th 2009 6:03PM
Green Day sounds nothing like that....
The Offspring maybe?

I want Trine! I want Trine right now!
Vidikron @ Jul 9th 2009 5:00PM
Yeah, WTF? I thought Trine was due out this week. Did they bump it because of BF1943?
nakedatthecomp @ Jul 9th 2009 4:57PM
but...but... Fuel demo...?
Alvin_Rod @ Jul 9th 2009 5:03PM
"MotorStorm Pacific Rift Adrenaline Expansion ($9.99)"
Please tell me this isn't the skins for the cars
Neuromancer @ Jul 9th 2009 5:20PM
I believe its new tracks too
Sly @ Jul 9th 2009 5:27PM
no, they released the skins for free over the past few weeks. this has a bunch of new features with it.
Vidikron @ Jul 9th 2009 5:30PM
Wait... so what expansion was released last week? I downloaded one last week with 3 new tracks.
MJD @ Jul 9th 2009 5:04PM
i thought battlefield was dissapointing, but then again maybe thats just my hatred of vehicles in online shooters. God damn you world at war tanks!
Zanzar @ Jul 9th 2009 5:05PM
Still no Fallout 3 DLC
Shane @ Jul 9th 2009 5:05PM
Damn I was so pumped for Trine today!!!!
Zoidberg! @ Jul 9th 2009 5:09PM
ULTIMATE BOARD GAMES COLLECTION!!!!!
**** YEAH!!!!!!!!!
Sora @ Jul 9th 2009 5:12PM
"Rock Band Unplugged DLC
Here Comes Your Man by The Pixies (£0.99/€1.49)
Pride and Joy by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble (£0.99/€1.49)"
When did the American store switch to Pounds and Euros?
Robert @ Jul 9th 2009 5:13PM
Hey, I was just wondering what people who bought BF 1943 thought of it??
Freak Mojo @ Jul 9th 2009 5:16PM
Me too... I really want to get this, but would like some views on it first... especially with Gamestop's crazy July sale. That $15 can go towards something epic :P
xtremeholymuffin @ Jul 9th 2009 5:16PM
IT'S FUCKING AWESOOOOOOOOOOOOOME
xtremeholymuffin @ Jul 9th 2009 5:18PM
Just play the demo, it gives you 30 minutes of play time limited to Iwo Jima. Once the time is up, it lets you finish whatever match you're in. That's it, though, after that you have to buy the game.
phinnvr6 @ Jul 9th 2009 5:38PM
Well without even playing it I can say it's gonna play like a Bad Company mod, re-skinned for WW2, with only 3 classes, and only 1 game mode (conquest). That been said, it'll be awesome for $15 and provide a summer or so worth of FPS gaming easily. The Battlefield series is the best.
Manly Mcbeefington (Mr. ESC) @ Jul 9th 2009 8:52PM
Well more like Battlefield Lite.
If you have never played Battlefield before this is a good start although I recommend Bad Company over it in every way,I think you can get Bad Company for 30$ in some places.
if you like competitive online games I think is worth the 15$ especially if you consider map packs for other online games go up to 10$,15$ for a full multiplayer game isn't all that bad but to be honest you aren't missing much if you don't buy it.
Trophies are incredibly easy to get with the exception of the one that requieres you to survive 10 minutes in an airplane.Just sayng if you are a trophy/achievement-holic
Tridrakious @ Jul 9th 2009 5:14PM
Fat Princess should be a pretty big deal on PSN. I don't think it's going to get the record of most PSN downloads, but I think it will still be pretty good.
DarkSan00 @ Jul 9th 2009 5:28PM
still waiting on that blazblue theme
sony boy @ Jul 9th 2009 5:28PM
all these shitty psp games...sigh.
greg (peevmyster) @ Jul 9th 2009 5:29PM
WTH is fallout 3 DLC? Been waiting very patiently, but this is bull shi*!
Come Get Me!!! @ Jul 9th 2009 5:31PM
aaaaannnddd of course i get a network error with bf 1943. why? because the ps3 is black.... conspiracy i tell you!!! jk!!
Kyle Nichol @ Jul 9th 2009 5:41PM
Why is the American PSN getting one or two PSone Classics a week while the European PSN gets one a month? Sure, we got James Pond 2: Robocod last week, but there's still no sigh of Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Tekken 2...
el serpiente @ Jul 9th 2009 7:23PM
Sounds like you need to come to America!
