  • Thursday is like my favorite day of the week now! :P

  • FINALLY! BURNOUT TROPHIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • ==OFF-TOPIC==
    Please help me anyone, I’ve had the 80010514 error today and since then I haven’t been able to run any BD game, should I replace the diode?

  • Just an FYI to other Canadians.

    I just called Best Buy and they have Buzz.

    My local BestBuy only has 11 copies, so I’m going to pick mine up now, before they’re all gone.

  • I really appreciate this update, but my wallet is mad as hell :)

  • Anybody having problems with Wipeout..It keep crashing on me..

  • Definitely the best PlayStation Store update by FAR!

  • Now that is what I call an update! Wow I am blown away with the shear amount of content lately on the PSN. Keep up the great work guys! I am going broke for sure!

  • What an awesome update.
    Tell namco to make some more content packs!!

  • please add more movie trailers!!!!! every movie that is releasing should be available on the psn store to watch. like yahoo movies! or, alternatively, you could update the flash player and let us watch movie trailers on yahoo.com. or you could add quicktime support and let us watch them from apple’s website. the choice is yours!!!!/legends of the hidden temple

  • Just the best Thurday since Mars 2007 for Europe.

    Keep it real every Week Sony, you need it, so we.

  • Why isn’t Puzzle Quest coming out for the PS3?

  • i hope we will be able to download god of war 3 demo in a few months

  • Good update but unfortunately these updates only come every once in a long while. If the PSN could get real downloadable titles on a weekly basis then it’d be a start.

  • Seriously guys, megaton of an update. Thank you!

  • EPIC WIN EPIC WIN EPIC WIN EPIC WIN EPIC WIN EPIC WIN EPIC WIN EPIC WIN EPIC WIN EPIC WIN EPIC WIN EPIC WIN EPIC WIN EPIC WIN EPIC WIN EPIC WIN EPIC WIN EPIC WIN EPIC WIN EPIC WIN EPIC WIN EPIC WIN EPIC WIN EPIC WIN EPIC WIN EPIC WIN EPIC WIN EPIC WIN EPIC WIN EPIC WIN

  • This is indeed great, just wish it had said how big each game is in the store!
    Also, you need to fix music and in-store-xmb to playstation store!

  • Best store update ever!

  • Best update ever :)

    WipOut and trophies own!

  • @51PyroJack
    Actually, that add-on was released long time ago (ok no so long time ago, but you get the idea) in the europe store because this game was released first in europe and later here in the US. But it’s better to have add-on contents to not have nothing new because they don’t have more money to spent and never released, for me it better them to charge for something to not have nothing at all. Big games can make it for free but not this one, it’s a cool casual game but it will not sell millions so quickly.

    On topic really, really, really one of the best updates. For now I only bought wipeout… maybe later I will see the other because burnout I already have it.

  • Wipeout HD is locking up on the main menu for me. Tried 3 times, locked hard all 3 times. Sometimes just sitting there on the menu screen. Original 60 gig model with a 320 gig HD in it. Fix please?

  • WipEout HD keeps freezing!! The only way I can play it is to sign out of PSN!! It needs to be fixed!!!!

  • Any way you could update us on where the trophies patch is for Burnout Paradise? Criterion announced on their website and in the in-game news that trophies were available this morning, yet the patch isn’t offered to US PSN customers yet.

  • EvoAnubis, do you have over 50 friends on your list by chance? I have the same issue and way over 50 friends but I don’t want to delete any just to test this fix. Some have said it’s related to the +50 friends.. Either way, where is QA when you need them?

  • Yes, Criterions website has said the Burnout trophy patch has been Live since the wee hours of the morning. Why are we still waiting for it?

  • dark mist or GTFO

  • Where’s the Burnout Paradise patch?

  • “Patches” are available when a game starts up and detects an update, assuming you are online. These are free.

    “Add-ons” aka DLC, are available from the PSN Store and sometimes within the game, which eventually leads to the PSN store anyways. These, for the most part, require $$.

    Sometimes, downloading an add-on results in the game requiring an update or patch, hence the confusion.

    As for trophies, no purchase was ever necessary (99% sure, I don’t own every game that has trophy support) for a game to be “patched” to support trophies.

  • I picked up MM9, Rock Band (non-Rush), and SCIV stuff today. On top of being invited to the LBP beta, today is a great day!

  • @124: WAY over 50. If that is truly the issue, that is &%$^#$@ stupid!!

  • im impressed by sony with giving this great update, but im a little disappointed by the second SC4 equipment pack…..from what i could see it only gave me about 2 new items!!! 2 little items are not worth 1.99…..next time would you please list what peices and how many peices of eqiupment come in the expansion set? thx Sony

  • Need faster download speeds CHOP CHOP!

  • This is an amazing update for the PSN. So crazy that we’re gonna be talking about it in our podcast this weekend. I just hope Sony builds in support for podcasts in their PlayStation Store :D

  • @122: Works fine on my end. Sounds like a personal problem. ;)

  • for others who are looking to buy the SC4 equipment set 2 let me warn you- the pack only comes with 2 new items for male character creation which are:
    – A cool jack-o-lantern helmet that is really just a pumpkin over your head ( its pretty cool)
    – A cape that looks pretty much the same as the other capes ( boring!)

    as far as i could see i couldn’t find any new equipment for female character creation

    -in my mind this is not worth $1.99…but if you think the pumpkin head gear is cool then go ahead and buy it

  • Razorbak86, I take it you don’t have over 50 friends. That’s your personal problem. Many people are having issues, people that have more than 50 friends.

  • BURNOUT PARADISE UPDATE IT’S UP AND READY TO GO!!!!

  • Definitely buying Megaman9!

  • Nice store update. Just purchase Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords for my PSP :)

  • awwww, wipeout HD is freezing up?

    that sucks!

    I hope someone form Sony is reading this!

  • Best update ever, this time I’m turning on my PS3 to buy something from the store for sure, only is to decide between B.O.P or Wipeout HD…

    BTW, where are da PS1 classic RPGs?? (Yeah, I’ll never stop asking for them :P)

    oh, on a side note, bring back backwards compatibility (PS2) to PS3

  • Here’s a question, for the Buzz! videogame questions are they only Sony-related or for everything?

  • @136: No, no. EvoAnubis done edumacated me about “personal” problems last week. See @252 on the following thread…

    https://blog.playstation.com/2008/09/17/start-your-%E2%80%9Clife-with-playstation%E2%80%9D/comment-page-6/#comments

    WipEout HD, baby! Playback is a beach! :D

  • SagiMewtwo, they cover everything but there are a few fanmade Sony related quizzes. I made one for PS3 factoids, PS2 Trivia, Twisted Metal trivia, and LBP Trivia. :D

    Buzz is GREAT stuff. You can create your own questions online and then others can play them in game. So cool.

    Here’s my LBP quiz:

  • how about some more ps1 classics like duke nukem landofthe babes

  • Great update! Downloading right now!!!

  • @ EvoAnubis

    I’m having the same problem bud….got lots of friends, can’t play at all cause every 4 panes and it freezes.

    I read that if you play offline for now it will work (so we’ll just have to do that until a fix is here, but at least it will be playable that way).

    I just bought Buzz and am downloading the latest patch for it, so for now I’m a happy camper.

    I can wait a bit for the Wipeout fix.

    At least they found it now it’s the friends list instead of later down the road.

    Still loving you Sony and I love my PS3.

  • If you play wipeout add me
    PSNID is Ramage

  • As for the freezing issue:

    I started an offline game and it worked like normal. I also then quit the game, deleted enough friends to have right at 50 and now it works online. Not sure what fixed it, I would lean more towards thinking once I played an offline game, that straightened whatever the issue is out.

  • @NipGrip…one problem….I like these friends I have and don’t want to lose them.

    So…..for now I play offline until a fix is found.

    I’ve got lots of other games other than Wipeout and I’m ok with a bit of a wait.

    Played Burnout with a friend online last night for the first time and I had a really good time.

    Now the trophies for Burnout are out, so lots to do still.
