Mortal Kombat Demo for PSN Plus Members March 8th

Just a heads up....if I see a zillion threads made on demo release day on the same things because people are overly excited and fail to use the search button, I will ban you all.

Jade wins: Brutality! haha jk

Seriously though, I can't wait for the demo to come out on the 15th. Hopefully I can convince some of my friends to get off MvC3 and try the demo lol
 
I threw down my $18 for PSN+ on Thursday night. Then, I got sidetracked by the video section of PSN, ending up watching 127 hours, and completely cried at the ending.
 
I was thinking whether I should wait until March 15th, but I know that once the demo comes out on March 8th, I'll be dying of anxiousness to play the game, so I decided instead of suffering a whole week, I'll just subscribe for 3 months and relax. Besides, there are other goodies on the PS Plus like Sonic the Hedgehog, Stacking, and others. I have just subscribed a few minutes ago...can't wait until the 8th! :)
 
The 3 month PP is only $17.99, anyways.

Year long one is $49.99, I think.

Haha I loved that series too, I was just bein a clown. :P
I also love how people gave me negative rep for a joke.
You guys are farrrr too serious.
 
+rep to you then good sir!
People who can take jokes like that are awesome in my book.
2 people decided they'd take me seriously and -rep me.
Kinda funny considering I have -166 rep HAHA.

Oh yeah and I dig the Deadpool sig.

Wow, that sucks. Thanks for the DP compliment. Yours is pretty cool too.
 
It's just lyrics from Molotov Solution and a picture of Scorpion(my favorite character) haha.
Where is that Deadpool quote from? I remember it, just it slips my mind. D:
Oh and on topic, I have a countdown timer on my computer for both the actual release date and demo date.
My roommates find it funny to make fun of me for it.

Consumers sometimes don't make sense. To me it shows multiplayer is not a priority, I bought marvel vs capcom 3 and wasted $60. You have to stare at a screen for 10 minutes waiting in line for other players, which is fine, but you can't even spectate matches in progress. No way in hell I'm wasting money again if it's like that.. I'm all multiplayer, so definitely going to rent first before taking any chances again.. so basically if the demo had multiplayer, and it was fun.. It would have sealed a buy for me.

If no demo had ever come out I would have rented it, because of the mvc3 experience I had.. I'm just kind of disappointed there no multiplayer in it.. It would have been fun kicking your ass before April 19th comes.

I understand that, and I would've enjoyed fighting(and quite possibly) losing to the lot of you on March 15th but a DEMO should be to see the quality of the game itself. Not a... pre-release version of the game. There will be multiplayer in this and it will have spectating(speculation, but Boon said something like he wanted it to be true to the Arcade experience) so I think he should've been a bit more grateful then he was.

As an Xbox guy, I don't mind PSN+ getting first dibs (as stated PS3 gamers do kind of get dicked around a lot), but the whole "PSN + March 8, regular PSN March 15, Xbox Live some time later" is a little unnerving. How come we can't get a solid date to get all hands-down-the-pants-y over?
 
I read a question similar to yours earlier today and the fact is, XBOX has stopped selling as well as it used to and there are actually far more players on the PSN now.
I am not trying to incite a console war, I'm just going to say this.
Game companies are realizing that to cater to the majority, they need to cater to Playstation now. More members, more money.
Before, the only reason companies catered to you XBOX players is because you had more players and more systems sold. Now that's Playstation.
 
Okay, so I finally decided to sign up for PSN+ ($18 isn't that bad and there are some other extras that will make up for the price, not even including the MK9 demo).

Anyway, last night I logged into my PSN account (from my PC) and went to add funds to my wallet. Since I already had a little over $3 in my wallet, I only needed to add $15. PSN gives you the option to add $5, $10, $25, $50 and $150 (or the amount plus what you have in your wallet already that will add up to $150). Since I only needed $15, I realized I'd need to make 2 transactions (I don't use PSN that much, so I wasn't completely aware that you could have PSN automatically deduct the exact cost of whatever you buy directly from your credit card... more on that in a minute).

So first, I purchased $5. That went off without a hitch and it was added to my wallet. I went back to add the remaining $10 and be on my way to a fresh, 3-month PSN+ subscription (and, subsequently, early access to the MK9 demo!). I selected the $10 option, clicked to add it and then got a message that my 'credit card information was invalid'. Huh? I went back and tried again.... same message. I tried re-entering my CC info, but still nothing. I then noticed the option for the automatic payment. I configured my account for this and booted up the ol' PS3. I selected the PSN+ subscription, it said it would charge me $9 and change and I clicked purchase.... ERROR. What the hell? My final attempt was to add a totally different credit card to my PSN account and, you guessed it, got the same errors.

To say the least, I'm not very happy. Anyone else face this dilemma? I guess I could pick up a PSN card at the store and add the funds that way, but I'm afraid I'll do that and then get another error and be left with a worthless card. It's starting to look like I should have stuck with my instinct and waited until the 15th to get the demo for free. :-(
 
I went to Target and bought a PSN+ 3 Month Card to avoid all this drama. Hope you find a way to fix your issue. Have you contacted support yet?


Also readers do you guys want a MK Demo Forum for discussion of the game demo or would you rather not silo the demo stuff off and instead have extra forums for things like characters, etc?

I did the same at Best Buy, they sent me a 30$ gift card for a screw up on their part so it worked out perfectly.
