I believe you print out the original size.

I ordered this from Amazon today, it shipped today should be here Thursday in time to eat up my weekend.

Finally got around to playing the demo, not sure I'm going to like a full game of QTE but it hasn't been too bad so far, reminds me of Shenmue a bit. That said, does this game remind anyone else of eXistenZ? The acting, the mannerisms, even the music. It makes me laugh a bit.

The EU box art sucks. I'd rather have pictures of the people in the game. At least they look better than the ridiculous Mass Effect 2 standard cover.

I prefer the EU coverart myself, the US one just looks goofy.

I saved it, then did a Right-Click print, full page photo print - and its way small.

I tried cropping it with the gimp, scaling it up to the sizes on the sheet....way too small.

I think I'd only prefer it if it was a steel case.

This game is doing a better job at pulling me in with the story than any other game in a long time, if not ever.

I am 4 chapters in, and I already love this game. Which is crazy, considering I really haven't done much at all in the big scheme of things...I can't wait to see what happens when the story kicks into full gear.

I thought you were serious until I started my install. I was pressing buttons and thinking "how the hell do I do this?"

Re: Heavy Rain -The Official Thread (Launches 2/23/10)

I played the first three levels. The first level is the introduction level, and the next two are the ones from the demo.

I got to the end of the third level, and was about to get into my car when the screen goes black, and I hear a loud staticy buzzing noise. Scared the hell out of me. At first I thought it was part of the game, maybe some kind of rain flashback or something.

Nope. It was a glitch. Now I have to start over.

Maybe it's just because I have played the demo before and was used to it, but so far the game isn't impressing me at all. I hope it gets better because I loved the demo.

If you're only three chapters in you haven't seen anything yet. Just keep playing, it doesn't really kick in for an hour and a half or two hours.

I've been reading that quite a few people are getting glitches and having the game crash on them. I haven't had anything like that happen to me so far though.

Yeah, I heard it was kind of slow at the start. I read about the glitches just now, too, and some people are having them at the same spot as me.

What the heck was that 220+ meg patch they released if there are still freezing issues?

My game froze at the climactic spot in the mall. Sucked but the save spot was pretty much where I was at. Played through first 5 levels. Loving it so far. Everything about it is intense.

I like the US cover better than the EU cover, but the cover for the instruction booklet is better than either of them.

No glitches here yet. I can't wait until the story really kicks into gear. So far, Shelby is my fav character.

Wow, it seems like poor ol' Ethan Mars
Spoiler:
can't catch a break. I wouldn't hire this guy to be a babysitter


Oh and regarding the level in the
Spoiler:
convenience store, I decided to not put my hands up like the robber asked, and got shot, but lived I thought Scott Shelby was a goner. The same thing when I got stabbed as Madison, I thought she was history


Oh, how long before we can stop posting spoiler tags? I feel like I wasted a minute of my precious time by using them.

Trophy guide

http://playstationlifestyle.net/2010...-trophy-guide/

Heavy spoilers. I would finish it first and then look at it to replay to get them as each trophy deals with a part of the story

To be clear this link just goes to page 1 of it with this very warning. It does NOT have any spoilers on it, not until you hit next page

I'm assuming it was the DLC, then you unlock it with a key if you buy it. My friend is gonna find out tomorrow at work for me.

I thought it might be that. It was pushed back to March 4th, wasn't it?
