How to download on the Japanese PSN Welcome back Program

OK,

The Japanese PSN network is finally back up after what feels like an eternity. Anyway, this is a quick run thru of what you can do to download the free games if you don't speak/read the lingo. It's pretty much exactly the same path though as the EU and US stores so you could probably figure it out, so this is just a hand.

This isn't the HK store, which is slightly different.

Your choice of games is 2 PS3 games from the following:
The Last Guy
LocoRoco Cocoreccho!
echochrome
WipEout HD
Hustle Kings

I downloaded Hustle Kings and The Last Guy as follows:

Log into your Japanese PSN account. NOTE: You needed to have this account already set up prior to account before April 21, 2011.

Select the highlighted link in the middle of the first screen as below



Next you will come to this screen where you need to pick the PS3 games list


Next, you need to access the free token by clicking this item



Once you click to download that, you need to activate it as with normal purchases, its just another click and you are here. As you see this is where the list of free games is available to see too.



Following that you can begin the download of your chosen games. You will know that all is ok if you see the PSN store purchase logo next to the PS3 box as below




Now, you can get to downloading 2 more free games! Take your pick from the following:



The install route is exactly the same as for the EU/US store etc, This is Hustle Kings (which when you play it is all in English anyway):



Job done :)

If you want to download PSP games, its the same process but clearly you need to PSP box

    Dou itashimashite.

    I think the offer will probably have expired by now. The EU/US one didnt last too long, about 30 days I think in all. Are you on the Japanese store too, not one of the other Asian stores?

Syncing your Nokia contacts to your car via Bluetooth

Image
So, over on the various forums I've frequented, and with the interest in mobiles and cars, I've been asked this question many times. It nearly always revolves around someone having a Nokia Phone and a problem with them syncing that phone's contacts to the car for communication via the dash or the head unit. There's not a problem with calls, its just this issue with being able to see your phone book. So if you are one of those wondering, "How the hell do I get my contacts to my car from this Nokia N8?" ... or Nokia N97 or whatever Nokia you may have picked up, this will help. To quote myself from the 1st time I wrote this out (I thought this was worth salvaging from the old blog posts) You need to download a file from Nokia that is called "810 contacts Download Application" and just for you, this is the link . Find your phone or equivalent and get that version. If you have the Nokia N8 the 5th edition version works just fine, even though you're on...

Xperia Play Screen Cracked

Image
//thanks to the android app this is now the 3rd time I've written this. This morning, whilst sitting in the lounge a phone notification came through, so I went over the the stand that my phone was on to check it. To set the scene, this stand was a MASSIVE 2.5 foot high. As I picked up the phone, it span in my hand a little and slipped. Gravity did its thing and the phone went directly down. Opps I thought, and that was all I thought at that time. I've had many phones that I've dropped. Dropped on carpet, dropped on tarmac, dropped over 13ft from a shirt pocket up a ladder (that was a Nokia) down on to concrete ..... and they all survived with nothing more that a dint on the casing or in the case of the X6 that skipped down the tarcmac, a slight nick out the glass itself. So on to this morning. After the HUGE fall of 2 foot, clearly something met the very edge of the PLAYs screen and this happened. The hardest thing this could have hit is my pen lid, (which was metal) which ...

QR code scanning with the Galaxy Fold Z4

Image
So, it's been a while I know, sorry... but I found out something I didn't see much about online on help forums for WhatsApp or Signal. TL;DR - Cannot scan QR code with Samsung Fold for WhatsApp or Signal windows app connection? Unfold the phone and scan the code it'll connect up. Scan it when phones closed, it won't. True for both for connecting WhatsApp and Signal Windows 11 applications to Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4.  My Galaxy watch gave up the ghost after coming back from a hot holiday this summer (Cyprus, thanks for asking... was amazing) It was stuck in a never ending boot loop and even on flat battery, when it came back to life, it looped.  When I got home, I sent it off to Samsung for repair and they mailed me back saying; Now, from memory this is pretty close to the cost of the watch so I picked myself up off the floor and politely declined and said send it back, which they did.  When it arrived back, it turned on and worked. RESULT!  But I figured there's a ...
