It's great that these are Windows Only (Free ones).  Thanks for nothing Amazonians!

I submitted my problem to their customer service... I can't get my map pack code to work (I got it for Christmas).  I recently finished single player, and was ready for multiplayer, but the code that was given to me in a sealed package just keeps saying invalid.  Anybody else have that problem?  I've entered it every way possible.

I'll let you know if Activision gives me a new code, but if they don't, I'm out of luck.

Messed up house, but awesome sweatshirt.  I wanna pre-order one now (And I want you to tell people who didn't pre-order that they cannot buy one)!

Playstation.Blog just posted about the official release today on the store.  They say that it is comparative to a full Blu-ray disc game, and is the biggest game released on PSN yet.

I think I will download in parts (They will sell it in packs or full game, your choice).  Go here to read the details before you DL.

"I found the camera a bit tight but that was my only criticism. It looks like it's gonna be good fun and a cheap way of passing away a good few hours."

"I'm sorry, I don't see what you're talking about."

The demo was a bit of a mixed bag for this game, I'd say.

I was a disappointed to see that the entire demo was set in darkness.  I have a hard time with this.  Not because I am scared of the dark, but because I like to be able to see where I am going, and admire the scenery.  A game that did "dark" well was Bioshock, because it was just bright enough to enjoy everything, and especially admire everything around you.  But with Siren, I found that it was too dark to find objects (In the demo at least), like when you are stumbling around trying to find a gun.  Part of this was due to the cheap flashlight, the other part being the odd controls.  They feel like you are constantly strafing, do they not?  It's weird, I might need to play it again to figure out what's off about it, but they certainly seem clunky to me.

However, most of what I stated is the bad part of the demo.  I watched the trailer for Siren on the PSN store, and it clearly showed a few daylight "outside" shots.  I really hope there is a good balance - at least 60/40 Dark/Light, because I can understand that some horror game fans are craving for the darkness (Whoa, did not mean to promote that horrible game - another that does everything wrong).

it may be crazy to go this deep into reviewing a demo, but I think it's fair (Play the Elefunk demo for an example why you should not impulse buy on PSN) for a smaller game like this one.  I do like the voice acting in this one.  This will be the first (i'm pretty sure) game on PSN to even feature scripted voice acting (Pain has a lot of yelping, and some funny things like they guy saying "OH Oh oh oh" and "Yeahhh Boyeeee!"), and from what I've heard so far, it's pretty decent.

So what about you, DAY ONE BUY, or READ REVIEWS THEN DECIDE?

From what I've personally experienced, I think the positives outweigh the negatives.  I am not completely sure if this is episodic, or how they are doing it, but i'm gonna go ahead and say DAY ONE BUY :D.

I like your points.  I haven't paid as much attention to my HD Capacity as maybe I should (Probably because I'm scared to check how much space certain games are taking up).  What I like about PSN though is that you can delete games for a while and download them again later if you are really dying for space.  Yeah, it's a hassle, but it's one option.

I guess, my deal is, if I know I am done with a game, I might delete it from my hard drive, sell it off.  So, it doesn't become as much of an issue.  I agree that with more and more PSN games on the way, suddenly 60 GB seems like it will run out.  That's scary to think, and I can't say that a lot of people are going to be swapping drives willingly.

I totally agree though, Uncharted is one of the best-looking (Not to mention best playing) games on PS3, and it handles the pressure without a problem.  And look at Resistance... I haven't heard about Resistance 2, but look at all of what's happening onscreen in Resistance without a big install.

I'd be interested to hear more thoughts on the issue, and if people are running out of space on their various systems.  i know Wii owners are hurting.
