Thanks for the update. MLB looks good, and some Thin Lizzy to play on the weekend
Nice update.. bollocks that I’m at work..
Nice update
my first entry, i love ps blog but could not sign in on ps3. any ways my p3 died while playing RE5 demo coop online. is this just mine or anybody else have this problem????
Man, what a beauty is Killzone 2, the gameplay just sucks you into the game, at first its a bit difficult to get used to the controls and not miss all the stuff that’s happening around yoi, but in my the second play through the demo, I was completely at home.
Killzone was good.
Killzone Liberation(PSP) was the best multiplayer experience on a handheld(infrastructure).
Killzone 2, well…I haven’t had this much fun with a FPS since Quake 3 Arena (core gameplay).
Sorry Master Chief, the King has arrived…Long Live KZ2.
Just tried the NHL Arcade demo. It froze at startup. Reset my PS3. The game started then froze in the middle of game. I think I’ll hold onto my 10 bones, thank you very much.
Great update. Keep up the good work sony.
check this out guys, Ready At Dawn (God Of War: Chain Of Olympus) may consider for Xbox 360 too…..
http://www.gamedaily.com/articles/news/report-ready-at-dawn-preparing-new-ip-for-ps3-360/?biz=1
I thought KillZone 2 demo was coming out
sucky update
gotta download the show demo.
also can you guys please make a LocoRoco 2 demo for the psp store?
WHERES RAG DOLL KUNG FU!?!
I downloaded
– Killzone 2 Demo
– NHL 3-on-3 Arcade (FULL VERSION)
– Phantasy Star Portable Demo
Older Update:
– Yakuza 3 video (JP store)
“What happened to the Killzone 2 demo?! >:(”
You missed it Mike. It was only available to the PSN users with cool names.
You failed.
I played it and it was awesome.
A better name next time Mike……a better name.
ha ha the EU gets the killzone 2 demo and the EU gets the game befor the US and the UK ) : and when has the UK never been apart of the EU?
haha, we have The Killzone 2 Demo in Europe
Can you use bluetooths with 3 on 3 nhl arcade……….oh yeah it should be mandatory every game in 09 has in game custom soundtrack.
P.S. I also played Killzone 2 and all I have to say is R.I.P. xbox 360……….
Isn’t it time for the next episode of Qore? When will that be hitting the store? As a subscriber, I would like some info on that.
Just an average update, I’m going to wait a few weeks to see if I get back into HSG before I buy the new course. Phantasy Star Portable demo was kind of cool but I already quit playing PSU so I’m not sure I’ll play the full game.
Please make the update earlier, like it used to be. The next time the update hits 8PM EST I’ll refuse to buy anything that gets released that week. I don’t really mind 7PM so I can get new stuff after dinner, but you guys are letting the time slip by and next thing I know it will be midnight before I get my content… which means FRIDAY!
PS: I did decide against my better judgement to get Bejeweled 2. Something to play between sessions of Super Stardust HD, Super Stardust Portable, or DJMax.
Can someone explain how $29.99 = €34,99 ???
First the $10 discount on the US store alone, and now this?
Note: I did purchase BP:UE, so it’s not that I think it’s too much, but I was fine with the near 1:1 dollar/euro conversion.. and now we get this? What’s up with the PSN pricing lately?
Might as well add: the Blu-ray version is €29 at a local retail store.
I really love PSN games, tbh, I download more PSN games than I buy Blu Ray games, because PSN offers me games that I find very interesting. I’ve already downloaded over 30 games. I bought Cuboid and Lumines at the same time from the EU store, next week Flower, soon Flock, Noby Noby Boy. So far I have no PS3 Blu Ray release in the upcoming months of which I want to buy. Perhaps the Asian version of Demon’s Souls but that’s almost it. PSN is a lifesaver now, so Sony and devs who read this, keep them coming :)
@Gibb, better save your Blu Ray lens and buy the download is my advice. Online distribution is more than welcome to me now, ever since my PS3 its blu ray drive got busted within 8 months of usage :-( Only download should be a lot cheaper guys! Loco Roco 2 for instance in the EU store, 30 Euro! That’s like 35USD! Ridiculous.
the NHL game is so fun. I had so fun with my roomate. SOme lag in online mode, but it’s ok. Thanks EA for this kind of game…
For Killzone2, I have to replay, I was frustrated by the gameplay…
Hello, Im from Brazil and I would like to inquire you about PS Network for Latin America, When will it be available?
Nowadays we are forced to sign the PSN from Portugal (similar languages), and make a pre-paid card (wich charges U$ 0,99, every U$ 20,00 we transfer to PSN account) in order to purchuase new releases frm PS Store. Sony underestimated the latin american market, due to a sales research for PS2 wich indicated people buy PS2 but not original games. Now on PS3 era, there still people byuing games and acessories for PS3 (in great quantity) but still we dont have our have our place on PSN, or either unite all continents, wich in my opinion is better (but Ill leave this to Sony´s judgement).
I sincerely wish Thanks to everyone who had the patience to get this far on my “letter”, and just to make it clear, I am not complaining, I love everything related to Sony. Thanks again, and congratulations for this Fantastic Blog, I read it everyday as a main source for all PS information.
Best Regards.

NHL 09 is good enough for MY hockey fix. But a Hot Shots course with dinosaurs is enough to brighten MY day. Hopefully they’ll patch trophies in at some point too.
Bought NHL 3 on 3, wish it had turbo like NHL Hitz, but still played it a few hours.
woooow i love the nhl arcade game, its great especially for only 9$, good job ea, now give us a soccer and an american football arcade!!
I got more than enough space to download the mlb: the show 09 demo, but it keep saying I don’t have enough space to download it.
The Loco Roco 2 theme is funny, especially the sounds :-D
Phantasy Star Portable demo looks pretty great :-)
I purchased mgs4 level kit for lbp and can’t find it anywhere in the game. Where is it?
Vary fun PSP demo though I hope the colors are better on the full game though it may just have been the lighting in that one level.
I liked it but the action was was a bit underwhelming. As well as the sound other then the music was witch was great.
I still look forward to the game on release day. Please more PSP store love! A demo of Resistance: Retribution, and some of the other games coming to the PSP would be great!

On the main planet, scroll down to the fourth choice “LBP Store”. There is a selection to the right that says “my content”. It bring you to another planet. On that planet is the items from the store. scroll around and find the MGS levels. Hit “X”, then you should see the 5 levels.
BTW. Incredible DLC for LBP. Comes with Specific trophies and stickers.
Thanks for the update. Can you make sure the the store monkey isn’t sleeping when he should be updating the store.
so-so, update. I loved the 3×3 nhl demo, Phantasy Star is all full of goodness. BTW can you tell Sega that they need to release a full version, non-online, of Phantasy Star. I’ve been buying the “Sega Collections” To play 1-4, need my fix with a 5, thank you.
Can you also tell GameStop to stop putting money in your pocket with the moronic pre-order demos. I never pre-order, I know the bonus and other things are good for others who like it. And it also allows you to judge the copies you need to manufacture. But Demos should be for everybody. Look at the threads, the EU are angry that the US is “stealing their interwebz”.
I am the biggest playstation supporter around ride or die but they gotta get it together with the online games. Turtles in Time, X-men Arcade, The Simpsons Arcade games are just a few ideas. The public has spoken countless times about these games but still no action at all. It’s all about the classics Street Fighter HD was a great start now lets keep improving
When is Konami going to be added to the publishers page? I’d love to play the contra games
im happy that they finally released the lock on KZ2 demo after school im on it bruh lol
RE5 looks crazy!! and the multiplayer was a great addition to what appears to be a game of the year candidate. I just hope it isn’t as short as heavenly sword.
Sony’s gotta step up their “game” when it comes to the PSP… Can’t exactly turn your image around if you don’t actually do anything to change your image.
does anybody know where i can download the Phantasy Star Portable game, im trying to download it using a PC but cant find the link or download button
anything Sackboy and I’m happy as a clam. Anywho I’m still working on the RE5 Demo from the early release. I mean I beat it but I’m still enjoying going through and looking at stuff. That FEAR2 video was kind of funny too. Can’t wait. Still looking forward to KZ2 demo or not.
Can we get a demo for StreetFighterIV and Prototype in the future? I know it depends on the developers but just wondering.
Yes! The Phantasy Star Portable demo finally arrived! Loved the japanese demo, but hated the annoying japanese voice acting. Thankfully, this shouldn’t have that problem.
And yes, a Street Fighter IV demo would be lovely!
When is there is gonna be killzone 2 demo in Canada ?
What? No KZ2 in this update…UK has it as a free demo…Why not USA?
What a waist of an update. I love my PS3.
Phantasy Star Portable = Awesome. That’s a game I never wouldve bought without the demo. Now I will.
@Re-max, simple, because Gamespot is giving the demo away when you pre order the game. That explains everything, doesn’t it?
I’m proud that Killzone 2 is being created in my country, the Netherlands, although I won’t play the game. I’m no FPS fan.
Oops Gamestop… not spot… always mix up those two.
add some PS1 games PLEASE!!!!!!! Crash Team Racing, Crash Bash, Spyro 2, Spyro 3, Gran turismo. @ 42 he is very right Japan and Europe have had CTR for a while plus tons more games. If not try to get some of the other games i have listed. And sorry about the last comment i was a little angry and I do appreciate the demos and add ons you put in. And sorry about the language.
@ 99 brently4
For one instance genius game stores do not sell regular ps1 games anymore not around me they dont. Ebay is the only place u can get them and im not paying 200 bucks for suikoden 2 and final fantasy 7. And if u would read what i said im asking sony to make the classics for the ps3 likke suikoden 6 or parasite eve 3 you cant buy these games at a store genius they havent even been made or thought of for all we know yet. And good job on calling people lazy u stayed in all night playing 3 on 3 nhl ur life must be exciting.
