  • october 12 btw

  • 46th president not 56th

  • text message, hershey bar, and jamestown

  • @southwood

    obama is the 44th president and this was the 56th Presidential Inauguration

  • Concerning the Buzz, i bought it for Christmas to play it with the family and friends on my ps3, but i found out that it is not in french, only in english , i’m living in quebec Canada and not everyone speaks english so i could not play with them, on the box nothing says that it is in english only and theres even instructions in french… whats up with that? I cant get it back to the store i bought it, its too late, it looks to be a very nice game tho
    thanks

  • @004eyes

    lol im an idiot, im just not into it today… i really didnt want obama in office.

  • I’ve never played buzz before, but i have been looking for a good family game I might have to check this out.

  • @SouthwoodS

    haha, it’s ok, i voted for mccain and that hottie palin.

  • I love buzz! I only need to play about 10,000 more games for the platinum!

  • Pretty cool. Is it safe to say that this will be $5.99 and not $7.99 like those National Geographic quizzes?

    I’ll probably buy it. I have money in my wallet from the PSN giftcards.

    Keep it coming with the DLC =)

    • We\’ll keep bringin\’ the quiz packs and announcing them here. The American Culture Quiz Pack will be $5.99. Enjoy!

  • Awesome, make it free ;)

  • Great addition (and timely)!

    But what this game desperately needs is a few more question styles (via DLC?)

    I’d love to see:

    1. Pictures or montages that slowly reveal themselves, and you have to guess the person, movie, etc. Hints would also display.

    2. Clips from movies and television shows and you have to guess the show.

    The DVD Series “Shout About Movies” does these styles of question really, really well.

    It would add a more dynamic feel to the gameplay, and move it away from being a straight trivial pursuit type game.

  • Cool! I just picked up Buzz! Quiz TV last night and I’m looking forward to trying it out.

    This add on looks like it could be a lot of fun.

  • PSN ID Sign In FTW!!

  • How much will it cost?

  • barack hussein obama ftw!

    @9
    yeah, she is a hottie

  • I would guess this will cost the same as the rest, fun party game. Is there going to be (or is there already) bundles of the DLC for this game?

  • I think it’s time to start exercising the Banhammer, Jeff. Those “First!” trolls are starting to make their way back in…

    I’m actually warming to the idea of a quiz-show style game… I’m going to try the demo when I’ve got a free moment.

  • The demo for buzz was pretty cool played it with my little brother.

    This game looks fun just as much.

  • It was really cool to be able to download and play the Buzz demo on PSP, but is the full game also coming to PSN?

  • @ SouthwoodS & 004eyes

    Wow, you guys are proud of voting for an old senile shell of what used to be a respectable conservative (McCain) and his incompetent joke of a running mate (Palin), who btw, didn’t even know the actual duties of the V.P. and thought that Africa was a country, not a continent. Don’t believe me? Hear it str8 from that horse’s mouth if you just search the web.
    Obama graduated from Harvard University at the top of his class, whereas McCain graduated from military school at the VERY BOTTOM of his class!
    I find it laughable that you think it’s okay to vote a 72-year-old man with melanoma into office with his incompetent running mate, who literally, is NOT smarter than a 5th grader, only a heartbeat away from the most powerful and prestigious position in the world — and just because you think she’s “hot”!
    I mean for the love of God, read a book or at least pick up a newspaper once in a while. To think, your ignorance almost allowed that hawk & his bimbo to drive this country into the ground!

  • LouVelvet:

    Not exactly the right forum for your political rants.

    Let’s discuss Buzz!

  • I would rather keep politics away from my gaming life as much as possible. The only thing that will come from this is fighting. It’s sad when I can’t even come to a gaming site without hearing about this horrible day in America’s history.

  • I really wana pick up a copy of buzz for my PS3 ever since I played the PSP demo. I love gameshow types of games.

  • Leave the politic talk for another place guys.
    I plan on getting Buzz real soon.
    My wife and son love the playstation. I can’t get them to stop playing Warhawk.
    Socom rules too.
    “Warhawk + Socom= MAG! FTW”
    @jenny, Any news on a Buzz home space?

  • LOL the quiz game got the number of the president wrong…its 46 not 56

  • @26
    Horrible day huh?
    get real.
    Find me in Socom and we can discuss this more. Over a bullet sandwich. My treat.
    Or if you like Warhawk kid.
    tekken, Mk2, whatever u like.
    ur a lame cause I said so’

  • Obama is not are 56th president or our 46th like SouthwoodS said you guys are all wrong even you sony shame on you he’s our 44th president.

  • LOL people don’t know the difference between the number of inaugurations (56) and the number of presidents (44), or even the actual number of presidents.

    I love Buzz! and have really enjoyed some of these add-on packs. Even my dad will play this.

    But, no third-party love? I may have to make a Bob Barr/Ron Paul/Libertarian quiz.
    Which reminds me: Don’t blame me, I voted for Barr.

  • Buzz!!! Yeah.

  • keep it coming with more DLC for buzz

  • How come it says hi joel, not hi jipmg?

  • nice. I love buzz.

  • @LouVelvet

    Man, liberals are such elitists.

    First while intelligence and leadership are not mutually exclusive, they are certainly not the same thing.

    Second, Obama’s law degree does not equal intellegnece. If we wanted a person running the country with a high IQ we would pick physicists or engineers not layers.

    Third, for you to attack Mccain the way you do shows you have no respect for the military or anyone that has bleed for this country. Very sad, concedering the very right to complain that you cherish so much obviously is support by those like Mccain.

    Forth, just because Palin is a self made middle class over-achiever you feel the need to put her down. Was she put in there to quickly. Probably. But regardless, she is the American dream where anyone can become part of the political process. You want to put her down for that, more power to you I guess.

    You represent so other kind of dream. One where the elite tell the plebes how to run their lives and class movement is impossible through hard work. Maybe you just need to accept that intelligent and honest people can disagree instead of vilifying the other side.

    Good you voted for Obama. He won. Leave it at that.

  • I’m Canadian and interested in this quiz pack.
    Will it be up on the North American store for Canadians as well.
    (you don’t want Americans living North of the border to miss out dso you? :P)

  • Also, this is a gaming site and I will never make a political post again. I appologize, just needed to respond to this angry person.

  • Glad to see some Buzz! Jr. games coming to PSN. Will they have trophies?

    I am happy to see this Quiz Pack, since I always enjoy playing Buzz!

  • “you will be able to download a pack of five of the best BUZZ! Jr.: Jungle Party mini-games via the PlayStation Network”

    Is this the first downloadable PS2 content on PS3?

  • now this looks amazing

  • i don’t like Obama but ill give him a chance. but Hillary should have beaten him. i didnt like McCain but i would rather have him in office because im part irish and so is he.

    we need an Italian president though. just not Giuliani or however he spells his name

  • What does politics have to this with Buzz. It’s a Official Gaming Site, lets leave it at that.

  • I will be sure to let my wife know about this when we get home tonight. She loves some BUZZ.

  • You guys need to include co-op play in the online portion, I can’t believe that’s not included.

    Also “Create” a character would be nice…in fact, why can’t we choose the same character if there’s 4 colors available?

    And lastly, I might consider buying add-ons, but only if I can play them with friends who have the same add-on packs over sofa vs. sofa. Is that possible?

  • This would have been good last week so people can play it today lol. I like Buzz but want to see bundles of several packs for one low price and also more regional content from other places. I saw in the UK store they have Packs based on British, European and Australian history. That would be good here too, anyone know if packs are region locked?

  • 247

    They might be more than likely I guess. Are most games region locked.

  • Woops sorry I mean @47.

    Hey Jenny do you guys know when they’ll release more add-ons for other psp games and if so which.

  • Another suggestion. It gets a little routine playing the same formulaic game over and over again ‘”Point builder, fastest finger, pass the bomb, pie fight, buzz, wager”. Next time make the multiplayer matches shorter, with different sections each time.
