On the PS3, I get error 8002A1A3 whenever I try to view the online rankings. I’m signed in to PSN, and other games work fine online. I even tried another account with no Braid save data on it, but it got the same error. This happened once before, but the problem eventually resolved itself after a few days. Is the online ranking server down, or is this peculiar to me?

Cool. It’s weird that you had to re-download it, but I am glad things worked out.

Okay, I did re-download it. I didn’t delete the original install beforehand, because I wasn’t sure if that would erase my progress. Downloading again did fix the problem, and it did not appear that I was being charged again. That is, there wasn’t the usual confirmation prompt that I get when making a new purchase.
Thanks!

I have never heard of this problem.

Have you tried just deleting the game and re-downloading it?

Oh, wait — does PSN make you pay for the game again under those conditions?

For what it’s worth, I just patched Braid from 1.00 to 1.01 on my own PS3, and it worked…

(Is it possible you are short on disk space?)

Has anyone playing this on PS3 been able to play, since the 1.01 patch became available? I haven’t.

I bought Braid a few months ago via PSN. Seemed like a great game, but I didn’t have time to get into it much.

Months later, I tried to play it again. It told me there was a patch available. It tried to update the patch, and…. that rebooted my PS3.

So I’m stuck. Unable to play Braid because it dies during the patch.

Any advice?

Was the speed run bug for PS3 ever fixed? I just downloaded the game off PSN.

Jonathan,

I just wanted to point you to an article I wrote about my experience playing Braid. I’d also like to thank you for creating such an excellent title. I look forward to your future projects.

Love the video walkthroughs, very entertaining and informative! This game is really something special; I haven’t seen such a mature story in gaming since Half-Life and Shadow of The Colossus. Well done on creating a mind-bending puzzler, Mr. Blow.
