Lumines should be $10.
Awesome Update! Thank You Sony! And Thank You for adding more PS1 games.
looking good
woot most anticipated update ever
I have mentioned Suikoden so many times in this blog… and it arrives finally! Thank you :). Sadly, I already have the game… but I will be supporting the cause of PSone Classics because… you guys really need to release more!
nice update for the holidays
eh, $14.99 is better than $59.99
DLC for LBP made my Christmas :D I love MGS! Thank you MM, Sony and Konami! Merry Christmas everyone :) I’ll be getting Lumines too!
GREAT update!!! Suikoden – Now this is what I’m talking about! More PlayStation classics like this PLEASE! Thanks for finally putting up a good classic, great start! Please continue to do so into 2009! :D
so.. are we allowed to use the kit to make METAL GEAR BASED LEVELS or will they be banned?
wow this is a sucky xmas update.
I wonder why people give this update less than 5, This is a huge update and lots of great stuff. eh, I guess you can not please everybody. Thank You Sony!
Nice update, but where’s the free LBP costume for this week?
Good to see Pulse on the Store.
I’m gonna start all my downloads right now.
SNAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Neat!
Can’t wait until my new HDTV arrives tomorrow to hook up my PlayStation 3 and download the LittleBigPlanet stuff!
LittleBigPlanet DLC !
Already download both LBP DLC :)
@11 Chulo Boy,
How can you say this update sucks?
If you look back in the past when we only got 3 or 4 items, you complained about lack of content.
Now Sony gives out a lot of content and you still complain. Nothing is pleasing for you, eh? There are a lot of rocks outside to play with instead. Thank You.
12 -> i was wondering the same ;) it’s 5/5 update!
… and what does the euro ps store get? …nothing at all !
cool stuff but its Tuesday? whats going on? oh well is that y i can’t login?
<.< Now give us Suikoden 2!
HVB! Nice update overall! :)
Are my eyes deceiving me? We finally have Disgaea DLC? Thank GOD! I’ve been waiting forever for those to come stateside. Now heres hoping the Valkyria Chronicles’ DLC comes over soon.
Also, definite LBP purchases as well as Lumines.
I love that all the LBP items have a note that says you have to own the game to use the goodies. Were they really getting that many complaints from people who were buying $2 DLC thinking it was the whole game? Lolzorz!
Just bought almost everything new. Great update. Glad to see Lumines wasn’t delayed too much. MGS >!<
Suikoden is awesome! If you have that great cooperation – Konami and Sony – PLEASE (!!!) bring MGS1 on PS Store so I could play it on PSP!!! I’m begging you :P
This is YES. Very very very YES.
@18
I dont play LBP so all that stuff means nothing to me. Don’t play all those song games so all that stuff does nothing for me.
Looking thru all the stuff on this list there is nothing here that has my interest except for Suikoden, but doubt i would even download that. Maybe get it for psp.
As far as im concerned there is really nothing in this update that makes it say wow. 1 demo…1?
If you all think this update rocks then wow…. what are you all going to think when they actually put a great update on here. lol
And the last update in ’08 does it in style! Happy Holidays, all!
Thank goodness finally Suikoden!
I have been waiting for good rpg releases for the PS1 classics, it would be nice if we actually get all the classics the japanese PSN has I guess this is a start……. I can’t wait for all the squaresoft, snk, and capcom classics that the japanese psn has, come on be kind sony…. I am glad you don’t have region coding for all the japanese ps1 classics but games like metal gear solid just don’t feel right without david hayter
SWEEEEEET UPDATE!!! :D
@ 20 – UK Store will be updated tomorrow. Hold tight
@ 21 – Lol it’s Xmas Day on Thursday. What did you expect?!
Great stuff. Just picked up MGS and LBP Packs and LUMINES.
I’ll be getting Suikoden as soon as I get the PSN card that I know is sitting in my stocking…
Finally some reggae for one of these games.
I’ll buy Suikoden eventually (as long as it works on the PS3 as well)
I already have an awesome TDK theme I got for free
I was going to buy lumines and the buzz update but, 14.99 & 7.99 is …. eh. Good update though! Lbp & mgs for me!
@21 Thursday is Christmas Day. I do not think Sony is working on that day.
does the disgaea 3 add on characters work with your saved game your already playing? or do i need to start a new game?
sweet update but ya Lumines should been 10 bucks
Nice – loads of goodies before Christmas! Thanks Sony!
i thought savage moon was supposed to be released today?
LBP level pack is mine. Still have some items to purchase off the store but haven’t due to my gaming back log and psn card giveaways.
Happy holidays everyone!
Great update but i thought Savage moon was suppose to be release today, i must be wrong
I thought the LBP costume and level pack was all for $5.99 :(
Suikoden…hell yeah! 3 PSOne classics in 2 weeks (2 BOUGHT), awesome. But that also means we won’t get PSOne games for another year now :/
Yes!! LBP DLC and Lumines for me please!! No Savage Moon though?? I thought it was coming out today or at least the demo was…am I wrong? Anyway…great update to end the year with!
Absolute liers, they stated that the lbp content would be available on 23rd for europe aswell, not happy, been waiting! :(
is this update just for USA or Canada too?
PSP needs more content, unique PSN games for the PSP not ports. Enough with the ports please.
wow the pricing on this stuff is really ridiculous. $2 for themes, $12 if you want both the entire set of LBP DLC. you guys are seriously scum. you are taking advantage of little kids that can’t say no and have no will power. they will buy this stuff and play with it for 5 minutes and realize it wasn’t worth the money. they could have been saving up for a new game.
