Just clicked on the link to ook at Bourne Conspiracy and the woman in the video really really hurts my ears. Please someone make her be quiet.

Still no PSN update

Thats what I was coming on to write. Was so looking forward to playing Drake today too.

Downloaded the 2.0 update though and immediately turned off that info bar

On another note. For those with Rainbow 6 Vegas (and I recomened doing this after you have finished the game to try and get the most out of it)

Start a game and press START during gameplay, then hold down L2 while entering the code.

Square, O, Square, O, L3, L3, Triangle, X, Triangle, X, R3, R3

Puts a different view on things if you know what I mean

NEWS FLASH:

Unchartered is on the US STORE NOW. Mine is on its way now.

(Mine is still coming down but I am getting worried because I am hearing that update 2.0 has come complete with region lock on the stores - bugger if thats true)

The Uncharted demo doesn't work on a European PS3. It ask for the disk to be inserted. Damn you Sony.

Yep, its just like what happened with the Def Jam demo

[Wolverine]

Update 2 has come along with no discernable improvement to the system. Sony say they have addressed popular requests, yet there is no decent folder management system or the ability to use XMB during gameplay.

The PSN store hasn't been updated at all for us today.

Finally Sony have stopped us accessing other countries Playstation Store, via the update, but not mentioned it.

Thanks Sony - I have never felt more ###### on.

[Cocker]

I get on there this morning and the uk store has been updated - BUT WITHOUT UNCHARTERED.

We get some Tekken add on and a demo of need for speed that was on the us store last week.

Not impressed with them at all - but hey, there isnt a thing we can do about it

[Biddy]

I wondered when Sony would block access to other stores. Microsoft blocked access many many moons ago, probably around the same time Hi-Def TV and film downloads came to the US store. Us poor Brits are still waiting for that.

[heapbag]

Got the day off today. Gonna go download Drake's Fortune right now.

[Cocker]

For those looking forward to HAZE - CLICK

[Cocker]

GOOD NEWS PEOPLE.

The unchartered Demo has been sorted in the US store so get downloading

[Wolverine]

I will try - this is one I have been waiting for!

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

I thought from earlier comments that you couldn't download from any stores other than your own Cocker?

[Wolverine]

Mine is downloaded and installed. However, will not get chance to play it now as I am out tonight

[Guest Kamy100]

Thanks for the heads up Cocker.

I downloaded the demo and been playing it this evening.

WOW is all I got to say. The graphics are stunning and from the limited demo the gameplay is very good. The demo is based in the jungle level. You have to make your way through the jungle which looks and sounds stunning, through stunning waterfalls and of course fighting the"bad guys", there are also some very little puzzles to work out how to navigate and that is promising as hopefully be more complex ones in the full game. I was very gripped by the whole experience, heck even the wife was saying that it looks very good.

Have to say that last 2 days I have played in my opinion the first two real "next gen" games on the PS3 in COD4 and Uncharted, Both are superb experiences in different ways. It bodes well for the future of the PS3 and "next gen" gaming in general.

No, you have your prime account with your real details then, you can go back and chose to set up extra accounts but this time put in a JAP/US region (the address dosnt have to be real as with the other details) Then when done choose one of the new accounts that you have set up and goto the store. You will now find that you can download the demos from the region you are in. Start the download and go back to your main account and you will still see it downloading to your main one. You can play then all from your main one after downloaded. The recent problem was with this particular demo which had a region lock on and after they were blasted for it they have now sorted and we are all downloading from the other stores again.

Havent had a chance to play it yet but have downloaded and checked it works.

(Picked up Call of Duty 4 yesterday - which is nice - hopefully on it later)

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

Ahh thanks for clearing that up

Just a few weeks until Santa Cruz pops round with mine

[eddiewac]

i shall be getting involved with a ps3 this crimbo, hopefully with pes2008 and call of duty 4 if i can get them to do me that bundle

Dont think there will be a bundle like that to be honest. Think you will be looking at the first game releases like Motorstorm or Resistance (which wont be a bad thing by the way)

[Wolverine]

Unchartered is undoubtedly the best demo I have played for a very long time. Naughty Dog can be sure of my money for this game if it keeps up the cracking promise shown here.

Watching the trailers I always worried that the controls would be overly complicated what with the sheer number of moves Drake can pull off, but they feel practically second nature within minutes.

The graphics are excellent, acting superior to most video games and the action frantic. Over the last few months, this has gone from being a mildly curious game to absolute top of my list of must haves. Get this demo now!

Oh, and it a PS3 exclusive (for now). For me this could become one of the PS3's killer exclusives (the only other one I can think of is Resistance).

Eddiewac - while no shop may actually provide the pack you want, don't discount games such as Resistance, etc. Also, try your luck at the shops, most shops will swap the games or create a pack for you if suitably pushed - especially if you tell them the shop down the road will do it for you but you want to see if they can beat the price! Never underestimate the power of haggling!

A good one also out now is Motorstorm (not going to include Heavenly Sword because I thought that was a let down)

Future though you can add:-

Haze

Metal Gear Solid

Killzone 2

Those three are going to be top exclusives I think (everyone also raves about little big planet but I think it looks tosh)

[Guest Kamy100]

Agree that Uncharted was something that wasn't really on my radar, but having read recent previews and played the demo this is a "must purchase".

The other game I might get "assassins creed" looks a really interesting concept for a game, never really played this type of game before, will probably wait to see what you guys on here say about before purchasing it.
