Yeah… you remember that super-awesome 1.30 patch for Wipeout HD, that Playstation.Blog talked about?
Well, it freezes your PS3 if you try to load an auto-save after updating.
Nice, right?
Two ways to fix it:
1) Delete your save (don’t do this)
2) Sign out of Playstation Network (if you already are signed in), go start Wipeout HD. After it loads (!!!) sign into PSN. Then go to your options and change something really quick. Save the setting. V-TEC Auto-save will JUST kickED in.,YO!
Then you can re-adjust the setting and your problem should be fixed.
Now if they could fix the screw-up with the signing into the online servers (which still WILL NOT LET ME SIGN INTO THE SERVERS) since 1.20, we’d be in business. Sadly, they probably won’t.
The fix for that is plugging your PS3 in via Ethernet cable, but I’m lazy to get the “proper” (while I agree that wire > wireless…) connection going. So it’s back to the bottom of my games for Wipeout HD.

In non-cock up news: Valkyria Chronicles‘s DLC is finally dated. DAMN IT, SEGA, DAMN–Oh, wait. Good job Sega! ONLY IT’S BEEN HALF A YEAR AND YOUR COCK TEASING WASN’T NICE. But still, sure, I’ll take the DLC.
Playstation Home news: Resident Evil 5‘s space is finally updating with content Europe has had since at least Game launch. Whoopie!
Oh, and Poker is coming to Home through the EA Godfather 2 ad space. Cool and all, but watch it be hella busy like all the other Warioware: Mega micro games (besides that six-axis/Total Tilt(?) mini game in the Alpha 1 XI zone) to where when you REALLY want to play it you can’t.
To fix this cock-up: Sony needs to give Home users the ability to buy those Poker/Chess/Mankala *Far Cry 2* spaces and let them play with friends in their home space. Or… you know… stop with the stupid limits and let everyone play if they’re in the limited number of “instances” there is a max number for those and the amount of people in them, you know that, Sony, you made us hit those limits for Warhawk and Socom (which I won). Why can’t you just let games not have a limit?
And that’s the update for today (unless something major comes up), in Playstation Land.
X-box Live has gotten Puzzle Quest: Galactrix. And while I loved the shit out of the first Puzzle Quest and it’s expansion (Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords/Revenge of the Plague Lord, respectively) this outing is mired with very annoying things. A quick Google of would give you the most common complaints so I won’t air them here.
Buy/Don’t Buy: Try the demo, if you can get around the annoying things, buy it. It’s solid Puzzle Questing. Otherwise don’t buy and buy the first (which is even more solid).
Flock also came out today, and it’s coming out for PSN tomorrow. So yeah… XBL will probably be the only one with a demo since Sony doesn’t mandate those (STUPID ON SONYS PART, MAY I ADD?). So if you have both consoles, try the XBL Flock demo and see if you want to buy it. Then choose on controller/online preferences or whatever.
Buy/Don’t Buy: I dunno, I may not get back to you on that if I can give a damn to turn my 360 on for you.
Also, while I’m ranting like Dennis Miller on a bender: X-box Live Marketplace integration into the internet space is cooler than Sony’s stupid download (PC ONLY!) store. Note to Sony: Let Mac/THIS IS A UNIX system I KNOW THIS! into your little buying parade and then maybe I can link your stuff?
Good job, Microsoft. You haven’t made me hate you on this yet.
