@ThursdayNext: I downloaded it, i don't have the game, but hell if i'm paying for it by the time i do.
Did seem like just an unlock patch rater than genuinely new content. #ps3
@televizor: Yes you can download it now even if you don't have the game, plus it's only 100kb so space shouldn't be an issue. Don't know if it will work cross region, but it didn't specify a sku code (which downloads sometimes do) so I would assume it works for all regions. Either way, it's free, so y'know, just get it? If it doesn't work c'est la vie. #ps3
@ThursdayNext: Yep, there was a 256MB patch, I had to apply it when I started playing BL (week after release), way before DLC was announced, but 100kb was suspicious to me too :/ #ps3
best to watch it in a local bar. though if you have no other option, this may suffice...
but i'm sure if you missed the game, the world will spoil the outcome. no spoiler warnings irl (or on yahoo!sports for that matter) #playstationnetwork
@Vecha: One more Month: I don't think you'll need to wait for future consoles for that. Sky TV just got added to the 360 in Europe (or the PS3? One of them) so that's not so far removed from what you're suggesting. #playstationnetwork
@Vecha: One more Month: You can't have fast infrastructure isolated to the cities unless you expect each city to contain its own copy of the entire Internet. The thing holding the US back is connecting those cities to anywhere else, as they're all thousands of miles apart on average. #playstationnetwork
I don't know much about the internet....but I know that there are faster speeds over in California and New York then there is down here in Daphne, Alabama.
Also, I hope that soon Cable will be available everyone at some point, which I guess ties in with what you are talking about? #playstationnetwork
@Vecha: One more Month: Being on the coasts, and having bigger economies, they're much more critical connection points. Check out any of the pics here: [www.nthelp.com]
The problem is ISPs would lose tons of money in adding connections to places like Alabama unless everyone there is willing to pay for faster connections, yet someone has to make the investment before progress can be made. The bottom line is that it sucks to live in the boonies, and won't get better anytime soon. #playstationnetwork
@michael_jordan: I had the same thoughts. I wonder how much money I could save if I told them that I don't want any clothes on my characters? #talesofvesperia
And the Japanese market will eat this up. The sad thing is that this will go to fund either more Namco franchises that haven't been good in years, or more Tales games that will never leave Japan. #talesofvesperia
Well, I don't regret getting the 360 version as much anymore. Isn't the point of a rerelease to include new content, not to make people pay even more for it? #talesofvesperia
@hurpdurp: Uh, the rerelease has a TON of extra content already. From the Wikipedia:
Full voice acting
Tie-ins with Tales of Vesperia: The First Strike[8]
New playable character (Patty Fleur)
Flynn as a fully customizable, playable character(permanent after Aurnion)
Repede and Flynn as selectable on-screen avatars
New mini-games (Racing mini-game for Repede)
New cutscenes
New subplots
New main game quests
New sidequests
New songs
New towns
Remodeled towns
New dungeons
New bosses (including the Sword Dancer, Don Whitehorse, and Clint/Tison/Nan)
Boss fight replays at Nam Cobanda Isle (in an area called the Door of Memories)
New Overlimit Levels up to 8[13]
New Hi Ougi/Mystic Artes (including a dual Mystic Arte with Yuri and Flynn)
New Artes
New Skills
New Equipment
A Key Item known as the "Artes Ball," which allows characters to assign up to 8 Artes to the left stick, and 8 Arte Shortcuts to the right stick for a new maximum of 16 Artes.
New Costumes (Including costumes based on other Tales characters and Sgt. Frog[14])
New Skits
A scene-skip feature
Added Team Arena
Connectivity with Tales of VS[15]
Pre-Order Bonus (Abyss character costumes for Yuri, Flynn, and Estelle)
New Coliseum battles and modes (Cameo Team, Clint/Tison/Nan/Karol, Schwann Brigade, and etc)
---
Clothes aren't anything to frown about when the PS3 users already have all this.
Now, if only Namco would GROW A BRAIN AND LOCALIZE THIS FOR THE U.S., I think a lot of people here would appreciate it. #talesofvesperia
@RockyRan: Well then, couldn't they have added some new clothes in without it taking too much effort? Or couldn't they have been cool like Valve and release them as free DLC? #talesofvesperia

And 3 PSP games. JUST THREE. Dear god.

Suspiciously enough it's only a 100kb update...was there a sizeable patch that could conceal the extra data or is it unlocking disc based stuff?
Also, did anyone else notice that the description on the Nier trailer referred to the 360? It said:
"Nier will truly be Square Enix's arrival on the 360"

@thecrisisfromthesky: Hmmm, most suspicious...oh, and a pic of the PSN store screen showing the 360 mention (d'oh) #ps3

So can I download it now, even though I don't have the game yet? Also, will it work if I'll get, say... the US version of the game? #ps3

Yea...makes me want to move to Europe/Japan.
North America is so behind technologically...as least as far as internet speeds are concerned. #playstationnetwork

Have it grow over here? Lol
At least in the cities...
I'm pretty happy with my 1MB/s...but could be better. #playstationnetwork

Daphne/Mobile Alabama is in the gulf. Not the boonies. But I see your point... #playstationnetwork
