Never mind, a router restart fixed it - I really should try that whole `process of elimination thing` first before coming flying on to the Internet like my arse is on fire.

Just tried, all fine for me. Signed in, went to the store. You're listed as online in my friends list.

LOL. Why be cautious and reasonable when you can jump to conclusions and blame others! It's what the internet is all about

I'm sure this will have been said before but I really like the way you can just add the amount of funds you need for a particular purchase.

Both Tekken 5 and Wipeout were no brainers but nothing else has really tempted me, so adding exactly £11.99 or whatever is a great option compared to Microsoft Points.

Also I like the way it auto remembers some of your account details such as addresses when you are re-typing them. Sexy.

The exact money option only worksnover a certain threshold I believe. But it is obviously better, Charged 11.94 for wipeout - had an annoying 5p.

[Rossco]

I didn't realise you could do that, I only seen the set values and choose £15 for buying WipeOut. Must have been too excited to pay attention properly!

Yeah - ?5 threshold I think. Still good!

I see Sony are to start charging for some `Premium` themes like



and



Seems a bit daft when the tools are all freely available to make your own

[hudson]

Yeah and they look a bit ploppy in my opinion.

[JP]

I saw the first chargeable themes about a month back in the foreign stores, would anybody really pay cash crap like this though?

We may well see more stuff like this now that Sony allows third parties to publish their own stuff on the PSN instead of it all being published by Sony like it used to.

I suppose the market takes care of itself though. If people are willing to pay for crap like that then companies will be happy to charge them but if people aren't willing to pay for it then they'll probably get bored of it fairly quickly.

I really can't imagine that people will really be willing to pay the 50p to a £1:00 that they are charging for them though.

[doodledude]

Talking about themes there's a great FREE 'Afrika' theme on the JP store, a great game as well!

[C']

Have I mis-remembered or are we getting a Valkyria Chronicles demo today?

[Number45]

I have a feeling that's linked to Qore.

I thought Eurogamer said it was coming to the EU store too?

Guess we'll find out soon enough.
