Have you already bought it?

When you buy stuff they re removed from your Store but can be found in your Download List.

If you've not bought it before then maybe they've removed it to prepare for the Online update.

Argh! You bast. Yust killed my hopes!!

Anybody tried Puzzle Fighter yet? I just gave it a go, and it appears to not support widescreen on an SDTV. It's coming out in letterboxed 4:3. It's a bit odd, as the 360 version supports it correctly.

With other games it's not been possible to do that.

When you go to the US Store it will probably only give you the option to download the full game.

It has been possible before. I D/L'd all the RR7 music from the US store to work with my JPN RR7 game. Works fine.

The US store gives you the option to D/L just the online part of T5. No reason why it shouldn't work with the UK game.

I have Puzzle Fighter, but I have a HDTV. It's 16:9 display.

I tried adding the online Tekken update to my UK Tekken 5 when it was first released and whenever I select the update it just tells me I need to buy the game.

Of course, that may well have been changed for the UK & US games, it's a risk you'll have to decide for yourself and as I said, it's not been possible with the other Tekken 5 that I own.

it wasn't possible to do it either with Blast Factor: Advanced Research or with Grip Shift. The only one that I've known it to be possible with is RR7.

It's definitely letterboxed on SD (PS3 set to 16:9 480i). The only way to get it full screen is to set the TV to zoom, which looks fairly awful.

I'll probably just get the 360 version, but I'd rather play it with a PS3 dpad.

Does anyone use a BT homehub and PS3 here? I can't get it to work wirelessly at all so am stuck with a huge 20m ethernet cable...

I do.

I don't have any difficulty with it. What happens when you try to set it up wirelessly on your PS3?

Mine works ok too. I presume you've tried resetting the router? Also, would the channel settings affect the wireless connection to the PS3? I remember that I couldn't get my PSP to work at home until I changed the channel to another number. I'm not 100% sure if this would help you Blair - can someone else confirm whether it would help him or not?

[dvdmike]

I have a new belkin router with N1 and I had to turn N off as it was getting in the way of the DS and PSP connecting

[JP]

Changing the channel can help if you're having difficulties with the Hub. It's certainly worth trying...

[Oh_Mutants]

Unfortunately most of those SNK
conversions are guff on PS1.

It was only a 0.02 update so not much was added, this is the official changelog from Sony:

System Software Update 1.92

The PLAYSTATION®3 system software update may include security patches, new or revised settings and features and other items, which will change your current operating system. We encourage you to check this page from time to time for software updates and to always maintain your system to use the latest version of the system software.

An update to the PS3™ system software was released on September 4, 2007. If you update your PS3™ system, the system software will be version 1.92.

Game

• New for 1.92: Playability status with the PS3™ system has changed for some PlayStation®2 format titles. To check on the latest status, visit the search site for compatible titles (coming soon).

I'm convinced that they've updated more than that though as my XMB definately loads up video thumbnails and game icons a lot quicker than it did before.
