  • can someone tell me why Sony doesn’t post their weekly information to the store until late on Thursdays? I think Microsoft posts their updates at 12am pacific Wednesday morning. Why can’t Sony do the same on Thursdays? Just something I’ve been wondering for awhile now…

  • Wow!! this is an AMAZING update! i think it cant be better, demos, games, ps1 classic,themes, a lot of videos.. Good Job!!

  • WOW, Nice PSN Update…
    Anything new on HOME BETA or LPB???

  • Great update!

  • Why is Bionic Commando STILL not up on the Australian PSN? I’m this close to buying it on the “other console”. Press the damn upload button!!

  • wow this is a huge update, thanks. Now if only I could get my hands on a PSN card…

  • @101

    Because when sony started to post the PS Store updates before the update goes live in the past the people was angry with it of why they post it before…. in my opinion I want the information before anything goes life… looks what is happening with Life with Playstation!!!… they tell us in the last moment that the update is delayed and now the unique information we have is will come in august.

  • Great update this week!

  • thatsmartguywiththefro

    Definitely a model update! A PSN game, PSOne Classic, plenty of demos, and loads of trailers, and some good themes and wallpapers! There have been some great updates recently in every area except the Classics. (Also be nice to get some more games for the PS Eye)

  • Anymore information on LIFE WITH PLAYSTATION? big update thanks alot.

  • Awesome updates.

  • awesome…

  • JUST BRING ANYTHING YOU CAN FROM THE JAPAN STORE, SCEA have been idiots this gen. and with psp also.

    get me xenogears at least please!

  • we need New Dashboard for playstation 3

    we need New Dashboard for playstation 3

    we need New Dashboard for playstation 3

    we need New Dashboard for playstation 3

    if you agree with me copy and past
    —————————————-
    —————————————-

    • Three questions for you:
      1. What is a \”Dashboard for PS3\”?
      2. What is \”past\” ing?
      3. Have you met Jeff and his \”ban-sword\”?

  • I just downloaded Street Fighter Alpha, and I wanted to know why there is no music in the intro or select screen, only music in the actual fights

  • Great update. TW09 looks good. I may still wait a year before I buy another. TW07 was such a major dissapointment.

    Grace, what’s the word on HVB? What an awesome game, just to leave in the basement and let die! Online mode would be super awesome for such a great use of the SIXAXIS controller. If HVB had online it’d be another strong selling point for the PS3 & SIXAXIS combined.

  • Make me feel like i have a playstation again. at least with PSN.

    pack it in with Japanese stuff and JRPG’s.

    SCEA+PS3 feels like an xbox.

  • Completely AWESOME update!!! A million times better than last week.

    Thanks!!!!!

  • When are the PSN cards coming out to Canada?

  • One of the best updates yet!! My download queue is going to be loooooooong.

    Keep the PSOne classics a coming.

  • thanks for the answer Noel.

    btw Im waiting for your more advance Theme making guide!

  • Nice update

  • Hopefully, the next update will include a patch for enabling rumble in Soul Calibur 4. This doesn’t seem to hard, seeing as many games released before it have rumble enabled. Good update this time though.

  • Quite surprised at the lack of a mention of “The Matrix Revolutions” hd rental release on the video store.

  • from now on i am going to keep asking for more payment option on the PSN like Click&Buy/PayPal and iDeal(online payment system in the netherlands).

    credit card payments within the EU aren’t as common as they are in the US, it’s the least favourite payment option within the whole of the EU so it’s time to support more options!!!

  • XMB is perfect leave as is just add features to it. Ignore that “DASHBOARD” change request. Whatever that is.

  • Superb update, think im getting both BCR and 1942. Curious about TW 2009, not getting my hopes up because most likely the analog swing will be as sensitive as it was last year, which i didnt really like.

    Next week should be good too because Quest for Booty is out, right? and with a little luck.. Life with Playstation.. that’d be another great update, here’s hoping!

  • Possible typos/mistakes in the Video Store:
    Criss Angel Mindfreak – Season 3
    – Episode 0 should be Episode 1? Also, the icon says “Luxor Light” instead of the episode number like the rest.
    – The numbering may be off because Episode 8 is missing (unless this episode is just not available).

    Question: Is it normal for some TV seasons to be missing episodes?

  • download bc and street fighter alpha… gotta keep training… you know what would be cool.. since the ps3 tells us when someone is online and offline could they program it to alert us when new downloads are available from the store… just a thought… going to play bc now.

  • wow what more can be said with this update? the only problem is that with awesome updates like these is that people expect mega bombs like these every week. i for one love BC:R and can;t wait to see what else the future brings to the PSN!! long live the ps3!

  • We spend more,but enjoy less

  • LOL @ Heikal1990.. chill out kid…
    Nice update.. Just bought SF for kicks. I’m considering BCR. Played the demo it was ok. If my memory serves me correctly the first stage looks exactly like the original nes version. QUESTION:

  • whoops.. Is BCR a complete remake of the original?

  • 1 more thing.. Why is the demo file size the same as the full game?

  • Cant wait should be awesome!!!

  • Xmas has certainly come early!!! look at all that content and this post still can’t make a perfect ‘5’ rating. Unbelievable, I guess its never true that there is always something for everyone. Oh well :(. theres more than enough there for me to be downloading through the night and into tomorrow.

    cheers,
    Lh

  • We want WORMS hurry up and add it to the store under ps1 classics please. come on people every1 shout it out loud WE WANT WORMS WE WANT WORMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This was a terrible PS store update.

  • @djsic

    hmmm… Actually, compared the updates we got last year, this isn’t that bad.

    Wait.

    You weren’t here last year for the epic “two game videos” updates were you? Keep your [DELETED] mouth shut unless you know what the [DELETED] you’re talking about…

  • * “Constant Motion” – Dream Theater ($0.99)
    * “Aesthetics of Hate” – Machine Head ($0.99)
    * “My Curse” – Killswitch Engage ($0.99)
    * “Clouds Over California” – DevilDriver ($0.99)
    * “Runnin’ Wild” – Airbourne ($0.99)
    * “Sleepwalker” – Megadeth ($0.99)
    * Roadrunner Records Pack 1 ($5.99) – includes “Runnin’ Wild” – Airbourne, “Clouds Over California” – DevilDriver, “Constant Motion” – Dream Theater, “My Curse” -Killswitch Engage, “Aesthetics of Hate” – Machine Head , and “Sleepwalker” – Megadeth.

    6 x 99 cents = $5.94
    Roadrunner Records Pack 1 = $5.99

    Buy ’em in a pack pay 5 cents more. what a deal.

  • Please put this out in Europe as well, i promise i will buy it again!

  • woops wrong comment thread, that waas for burnout

  • Great update for the US store but once again EU gets crumbs. It’s just lost sales (e.g. I’m buying Bionic Commando: Rearmed off XBL because it’s available in EU even though I’d much rather support PSN and play my PS3).

    It’s also a shame that till date we still have no update on getting an official EU blog – or at least EU specific news on the US blog. I though that was being worked on?

  • Are we going to get Crash Team Racing (CTR) for the PS1 classics

  • Ah finally have the chance to check out 1942 and BCR before I decide to purchase them. Better stuff than the EU store… as usual.

  • loverboyjzd@yahoo.com

    cant wait to play my curse on rockband.

  • @ 114 heikal1990

    Funniest thing I read all night

    XD

  • Sony Europe letting us down once again. We don’t even have a release date for BCR.

    Don’t know why we can’t have worldwide releases for downloadable games. Not nice hearing all my mates playing it on 360 already.

  • Great update! Joint Strike is really fun ^^
