  • YOU SOB’S A SOLO PACK FOR STARDUST ADD-ON AFTER WE JUST PAID 10 DOLLARS!!! THAT IS BS! I love stardust HD and I purchased Stardust for PSP. But to turn around and tack on an expansion like this 2 weeks later….. It’s like you guys were waiting to charge us more.

  • Can we expect the MGS LBP DLC this Christmass?

  • Whoa! This has to be one of the biggest PS Store updates for the PSP section I’ve seen in a while. As if that wasn’t enough, there’s even two more PS one games available for download as well. Thanks for the update.

  • were is HOME update nice store update thanks

  • Thanks for the Update :D

  • Finally PSP is getting some love,Good job sony, Thanks for all the games and demos for ps3 too!!!!GOOD JOB SONY!!!!!!

  • Thanks Sony for Castlevania. I’m looking forward to it. Keep them coming!

  • Great update Sony! I am glad to see not only one but two PS1 games for download! Awesome just keep this up mainly getting more than one PS1 game for download to expand the PS1 Classics section. Maybe add some more PS1 games on the esrb website that have been there for months like Legacy of Kain, Street Fighter Alpha 2, Street Fighter Alpha 3. Can’t wait to download the Sonic Unleashed demo.

  • Thanks for the info Grace. Any clue where the Singstar update is?

  • AWESOME update! :)

  • PSOne Games??? NO WAY! Really, keep em coming!

  • Can anyone give me a mini-review of Crash Commando? It looks like fun, but without a demo, I’m not buying till I hear some feedback from you guys.

  • Noel, have you watched Pulse? There’s a really good reason why we all thought Lumines would drop today; we saw it on a Sony-produced show streamed inside of Home.

    • I missed it.
      Did they give a specific date in the show or did they say \”Coming Soon\”?
      Please let me know.
      Again, sorry to everyone who has been expecting it on a particular previous date.
      Either way, I\’ll make sure to let them know so that there won\’t be any confusion next time.

  • Talk about a massive update. Cool!

  • @ 31

    LOL! That is so true. You’d think MGS4 would’ve been one of the first titles to have Trophy support. It’s one of the most important PS3 title at the moment. I’ve sent countless amounts of emails to Konami about this too.

  • Dear Noel Silvia:

    Respect for your avatar. Now please bring Okami on the Playstation Store. That would make many many happy, me first because Okami is my favorite game of all time.

  • i have a question:
    is sony working getting more anime titles? i figured since they are a japanese company there would be a lot more than what is there already. we are missing some classic animes and series

  • whens the MGS add-on for LBP coming out?

  • @ Noel: Sorry for the late reply.

    At first, she says coming soon, and it says the same thing on the screen. However, as she’s closing out the segment, she specifically says it’ll be available “next week.” Keeping in mind that Pulse started streaming into Home last week, it made sense to deduce that it’d be available this Thursday.

    • Thanks, Anubis. I appreciate your effort to hunt this down.
      I\’ll be sure to pass this information along.
      Again, I apologize, on behalf of the team, to everyone here for the confusion that this has caused.

  • never mind found a comment with the ansewer!!!

    THANX

  • What about the classic Rainbow Six game that is currently available everywhere else but where the game began?

  • @Noel replying to post 45 saying:

    “WildArms 1 is currently available from the Store, and who knows – maybe it’ll get some company soon…”

    Keeping 3rd party games away because Sony has limited to no control over them, give us at least Wild Arms 2 and Legend of Dragoon.

  • So the rumors were wrong :( Rayman 2 is’nt a PS2 game. PS3 is my first playstation console so I missed out on a lot of great PS2 games that are now getting sequels on PS3. I’d love to play all those prequels and hopefully you guys will surprise us with a PS2 section to the store at a later date…..crosses fingers

    I appreciate all your hard work :)

    • Rayman 2 was actually available on multiple consoles under different subtitles. The PS2 version was called Rayman 2: Revolutions. The one that is now up on the Store is the PSone Classic, and this version is playable on both your PS3 and PSP.
      Little funfact, but – the Dreamcast *heart* version was also subtitled \”The Great Escape\”.

  • Ok thats a great update and all but… how about Final Fantasy, I would love to replay those classics agian VII – IX, I know I would get it, maybe you guys can look into that there are tons of FF fans out there.

  • Lumines Supernova IS up in Japan/Hong Kong along with a free holiday theme pack. They also got a putt-putt version of Hot Shots featuring Toro the Sony Cat (bring it out here too! Can replace Toro with sackboy if need be),the original DOA for PS1 and some funny looking hampster game for PSP.

    Last weeks GHWT song I wanted and this weeks only added up to $4 and next weeks stuff is free so I bought Castlevania too.

  • Glad to see PS1 games on the store! Feel free to add Mega Man Legends, Umjammer Lammy, Toomba, etc. ;)

  • Crash Commando kicks ass.

    Gameplay is tight and balanced for the various weapons. The trophies are good with no stupid ones that require certain hardware or multiple people or controllers. The online is intense and exhausting because it is so fast paced.

    Absolutely perfect for 10 bucks.

  • What a sexy update! Crash Commando!!

  • Could you guys please update the store earlier in the day? I’m always waiting until like 6 pm for you guys to update the store. Thanks.

    • Sometimes, with a lot of content like today, updates can take a while. If you want to look at it a different way, just think of them as Friday morning updates that are updated early! ;-)

  • Sah-weet! I played the demo for the SuperSonic cars thing (love the over-the-topness of the name by the way), but I was kind of hoping they’d come out with in-game music first, but a price drop works just as well! I’m sold! :D

    And I don’t know about anyone else, and I don’t know if I was supposed to, but I found the Uncharted 2 trailer really funny.

  • great update , thanks guys , btw crash commando is excellent, im really surprise how fun this game is , for some reason reminds me of warhawk lol , i think warhawk fans will like this game lol

  • I would like it if the LBP Santa costume could be kept until the 12 because I don’t have access to my PS3 until then

  • It was somewhat harder to find than I was expecting, due to DevinatArt’s worst search engine on the face of the planet, but there you have it..

  • Anytime, man, and no worries about the confusion. I’m having a blast with Crash Commando in the meantime.

  • Santa Beard and hat for me! Glad you guys changed the ‘levels pack’ to festive pack

  • Man i want Savage Moon so much…

    YOu guys need more demos for PSN games, i dont like blind buying :( You also dont use that preview feature as much as you should, its handy to watch the videos before.

    Also, still no Blast Factor trophy patch here in the UK. :(

  • I take it back, Castlevania Chronicles is not the best thing that was released this week. Please avoid this title. I’d buy Crash Commando, but of course I’m not going to blindly waste $9.99 because people say it’s good.

  • Hey since everyone is asking for PS1 games I figure I might as well throw my 2 cents in I hope that you guys could bring the Original Twisted Metal out so that I could play it on my PSP & PS3 and while your at maybe some of the PS1 Tomb Raiders.

    Keep Up the Good Work

  • Noel Silvia seeing as your being generious to answere afew questions, I have one for you. Currently as it stands the PlayStation Network is lacking in the Avatar section. Will we be seeing an increase in Avatars we can choose from, aswell as premium Avatars we can buy from the PlayStation Store?

    If there is currently no plan for this at the time, is there anyway you can pass the word on too SCEA? Becouse this is one of the major advancments many PlayStation 3, and PSP users would like too see.

    Thanks
    SpookyJuice

    • This is currently a section that you will be seeing changes to and updates for in the new year.
      Can\’t talk specifics, but it is something that we are working on.
      Thanks for the input!

  • Ahhhhhh. Nice update, I’m still waiting for all the Squeenix PS1 titles to start showing up, no rush though, I’m still re-earning my 103% completion on Crash Bandicoot :D

  • ARGH! Totally forgot: please give us PuzzleQuest for the PSP on PSN :D

  • That’s already available though.

  • Wow, this is a huge update,lot of stuff here…
    Nice work guys and gals at SCEA :)

  • @91: Like (92) said, that’s already there. Has been for weeks, actually.

  • Yeah, get that festive pack so you can have a Christmas-themed level even though Christmas is going to be forgotten in about 6 days, lol. I’ll hold out for the MGS pack, thanks.

    And why don’t these developers release demos for their games like they do on XBL? You think I’m parting with $10-$15 based on the dev’s description of what the game is!? This is a new age in gaming… no show, no dough, folks.

    And while I normally stifle my criticism of Rock Band, I would think that a bunch of music-lovers like Harmonix could think up a better country pack than this… no Johnny Cash, no Merle Haggard, none of the “Hanks” (Williams Sr / Jr / III)… heck, even some Steve Earle woulda been nice.

    And, yeah, #1 — where IS Lumines Supernova?

    Alright done complaining.

  • Great, finally some new PS1 games. But where’s the PS2 Backwards Compatibility?? you need to do something quickly, I know many people not buying the PS3 because of this and you’re loosing a lot of market in japan :S

  • Disregard my earlier comments.

  • Am I seeing this right? Ohio State theme? So there is a theme for Michigan, Wisconsin, and Ohio State, but no theme for the champs of the Big Ten, Penn State? I want to have a serious discussion with whoever makes your themes! Lol good update though.

  • Thanks for Castlevania and support of the psp.

  • what? no love again? where’s my USC theme? lol.

    excellent update. games galore for both the PS3 and the PSP and demos and videos and the LBP DLC is much appreciated. i have a week to finish my holiday level so i can get on the MGS level packs next week!

    happy holidays and keep up the excellent work.
