Most likely no. They may show up at midnight GMT/4pm Pacific in the EU store later tonight, though.

It is a community (message me at rayst191 and then apply) but it is largely useless because most people don't set their parties to community parties I guess. I only ever see on Cod party going at any one time (no matter the community focus, oddly)

PSN being down means I can't redownload all my games after putting a new hard drive in :(

Which, as an aside, was refreshingly easy in the hellish world of "If you mod this or open the case we will literally shoot you" product protection.

I've been trying to play The Crew all day, and PSN is screwing me. This is after The Crew servers were broken for a day and a half a few days ago. How am I supposed to spend hours grinding my car levels up from 1000 to 1299?

Also I'm vaguely excited for Grim Fandango as a US PS+ game. I loved this game back when it came out in the 90's, and I'm curious to see if I can still handle the necessary "adventure game logic" to play it. Realistically I'll probably just open a walk-through the first time I get stuck.

Whattup new hard drive buddy? Did you do the trick where you buy an external 2 TB Samsung Expansion and you bust it open and inside is a Samsung that is more expensive to buy by itself for some reason and you swap that with the one in the PS4 so you get like a free 500 GB external?

You know it bro, 2tb Seagate external hard drive becomes an internal hard drive with a flathead and a bit of force.

The previous thread wasn't consistent on reporting the monthly Japanese PS+ games, so I thought I'd fix that. The games for January, just reported on the PlayStation blog:

- (Vita) Toukiden Kiwami (Koei Tecmo the Best)
- (PS4) Hardware Rivals
- (PS3/Vita/PSP) Capcom Generation Vol. 5: The Fighters (PS1 classic) This is a collection of three Street Fighter 2 games
- (PS3) SSX Download Edition
- (PS3/Vita) Urban Trial Freestyle
- (PS4/Vita) Xeodrifter
- (Vita) Rocket Birds: Hardboiled Chicken

(Yes, the PSP store is still online in Japan, but not for long)
