User Info: WilliamRLBaker WilliamRLBaker 10 years ago #1 Just wanted to get the word out, if you have the free version from the 13th it will not work with it, if you delete it you can't redownload it.



I got the free download on the 13th then purchased the expansion the 14th having updated my free version when i downloaded the expansion it said no need to update this title when i tried to install it, so i deleted it thinking maybe its the update well it no longer appears in the download list so you can't redownload it. People on the official playstation forums have had the same problems, others have been able to get it to install, others have confirmed this as well but that the expanded content does not appear.

So wanting to get some straight answers I posted on the forums over there and just found that others had the same problems as me, and then I emailed support and have not gotten a reply so I called tech support.



Tech support Lupe:The free version of flOw was meant as a demo it was designed not to be redownloadable and desinged not to work with the expansion.



So there ya guys go. *wasted 2.99*

I'd probably buy the game and the expansion if it came down to it, but to alter a file in a manner that hasn't been seen before without telling us, and practically fooling people isn't very good business practice. What's considered great graphics today might be considered trash to the next generation of gamer. Learn to appreciate what's come before your generation. If it was meant to be a demo, then maybe they should of specified that in the description of the download instead of making people think that they were getting the exact same file that was there on the 12th and then came back on the 14th.I'd probably buy the game and the expansion if it came down to it, but to alter a file in a manner that hasn't been seen before without telling us, and practically fooling people isn't very good business practice.

User Info: CDuG CDuG 10 years ago #5 That sucks because I grabbed the expansion too. Well I'm not going to redownload it. It's fun but it's not worth downloading twice. I'll write my $3 off to stupidity, rather than throw another $8 at it.

You don't announce one of your games as being free, and then alter the data to force people into buying the game if they want the expansion. What was promoted and what we got isn't the real version of the game, and I'd almost say that falls under some sort of "bait and switch".

Stephenie Meyer --> Eerie hymen pest Not only that, but force them to buy the game again if they want all the trophies. It's bad enough when one requires you to have four controllers or buy an expansion, but when you have to pay another $8 to be able to access the DLC that gives you the trophy...what a screwup.

www.rpgdl.com - I sure know how to whore a link. Just ask Zelda! Kinda odd. I thought the entire point of the free download was to get people to buy the expansion.

User Info: Velo214 Velo214 10 years ago #9 What are you people talking about? I downloaded Flow for free and then bought the expansion for $3 and it works great. You just need to make sure you install the main game first then install the expansion and then you run the game and it will patch trophies into the whole thing. If you didn't do this on the free day then yeah, you are out of luck.
