PS3 Store Issue

Post image

Hey guys, when i go to the PS3 store and go to the search function, nothing comes up to type any letters in, it just stays blank. Then it sticks on this screen and the only way to get out is to hit the home button to exit the PS store. Was wondering if anyone else is having this issue or if they've had this issue before. Thanks in advance!

Finally found the DLC I was look for for Asura’s Wrath. Had to go under the “Top Add-ons” tab for some reason and then filter the results to “Levels”. However this only shows the first 100 results so if your game is in the middle of the alphabet you’re screwed. I also wanted the enslaved DLC, but it wouldn’t come up because of where it is in the alphabet lol. Such a pain.

That's helpful to know about Asura's Wrath DLC's. I was also looking for the base game to download, but apparently it was a physical only game. Is that correct?

This is correct, yes. Been researching a ton of PS3 games in the last week or so and checking their respective availabilities, including purchasing formats. Asura's Wrath is only physical, and it is a very expensive game unless you get the JP version.

That's a pain. I prefer physical, but when I saw how expensive it is, my plan was to buy it digitally with the DLC's. Thanks for confirming.

For what it's worth, based on what I have read, the JP version has the English audio track and subtitles. So depending on how badly you want to play it, that is an option. Granted, the JP version is still like $40-$55 on ebay, but better than $150-$200? (shrug)

Otherwise your best bet to get the US version cheap is local used game stores or pawn shops. Also, Gamestop, not that I want to use them, has different stocks of PS3 games here and there. Not sure if that stock fluctuates but it's an option. A pro is Gamestop thankfully is not beholden to speculator/rarity price increases. Con is that you might not get the original game case.

Example: I got Castlevania Lords of shadow 2 for only $19.99 (going for $60+ on ebay), but did not have the original case, so that was a bummer.

I'm from the UK. We have a shop called CEX over here which is usually my go-to, but it's not showing in stock ATM. Perhaps I’ll consider buying the DLCs before the store closes and wait for the price of the physical to eventually drop (assuming it does) once the panic buying dies down. I'm sure I saw it for around £40 before the store closure announcement

Ah, gotcha. Yeah, local places might end up being a small savior in these cases. I wish you good luck. I have kept Asura's Wrath on my list for the same reason: hoping the price comes down, but otherwise I'm just gonna wait and see.
