first
:D Yay.
@Knivez0r: congrats?
Finally… Going to DL some stuff now :)
not a bad update. wheelman and riddick should be good. i guess i’ll give Red Baron a throw as well.
Three demos = EPIC!
Sweet, new Burnout cars :D gonna buy those. any word on the Final Fantasy VII LBP content? I’m looking forward to that ALOT!
Great Update!
sigh…….
guess the MCLA DLC was delayed till next week. *cries* :(
cool! More UMD legacy games are nice, but please put more PSone games too!
4 Demos?
Vin Diesel in 2 of them?
Whaaa?
I Guess it’ll work until next week though, Wheelman seems pretty cool.
Finally, Legends of WrestleMania.
Definitely gonna try out Riddick!
Spring Fever: “Celebrating Exceptional Games”
LMAO! The last 3 weeks have been horrible! No Gravity is a TERRIBLE PSP game, Watchmen is an overpriced, lacluster game that can be finished in under 90 minutes, and Red Baron arcade has NO trophies and NO voice chat.
WOW! Thanks for these “exceptional games”.
Wow huge update.
Any word on Peggle, Wheel of Fortune?
Downloading the Wheelman demo now. It has Vin Diesel so you know it’s good.
best update so far this year, by FAR! burnout cars a expensive but whatever, IT’S BURNOUT!
OMG, there’s actually five demos!
is it just me or are these Qore episodes getting shorter?
Nice update!
Everyone! Biohazard 5! Tonight! Midnight launch here in Bakersfield California!
That’s quite an update! Nice!
Nice will def give the demos a try.
No PS1 games… Why am I not surprised? >_>
WHERE THE EFF IS BOMBERMAN ULTRA!!!!!!!
It was suposed to be out months ago!
I like to see some of those Where’s Waldo types of games on the PSN. Story, timer, list of items to find.
no LBP DLC AGAIN! you can’t be serious :/
Good stuff on the store. Keep it up Sony!
Now I don’t have enough time to play all the games I want to.
may have to get one of those Burnout boost cars…
Bah, other then REM, this weeks Rock Band and Guitar Hero update.
I DEMAND RADIOHEAD FOR ROCK BAND OR GUITAR HERO!
:(
Still a good line-up though.
Nice update…thanx!
*Bah, other then REM, this weeks Rock Band and Guitar Hero update is crap.
Wohho! A Reds theme! We’ll win the series this year! (Probably not… but I can dream!)
As always, love the support Criterion has done with Burnout and I will continue to support them.
Lots of playable content this week… I’m SO looking forward to picking up R:R next week!
Any words on PS One Classics ? I wonder if the fact that new PS3 models arent retrocompatible has slowed sony to bring more PS One classics to the store . True or false ???????????
wow, STILL no PSOne Classics
you guys are really letting us down with that
32nd!!!
Yeah, Whatsup with those PS1 classics?
Lets have more.

OH COME ON! WHERE IS BOMBERMAN ULTRA?
It was supposed to be out by the end of February, and here it is nearing the end of March with no release in sight! What’s going on???
Week 11, still not so much as a single PSOne game posted this year. Great work. If you guys knew the easiest way to not make money, this is it… Yet another great Store update!
What happened to the St Patrick’s Day dlc for Little Big Planet thats is supose to release today?
Europe and Japan have it
Yes, can’t wait to get home and try out The Chronicles of Riddick Demo. Thanks
You offer a BYU theme before a UNLV theme? BOOOOO!!!
Since you like putting TV and Movie trailers in the GAME Store, why don’t you put the Game trailers in the VIDEO Store?
So if I’m in the Video store thinking about renting Australia, but want to watch a trailer first, I should look for it in the Game store, right… yeah, that makes sense!
@ Angdogg
you forgot like every Final Fantasy game, spyro games, and metal gear
Ummm….where in the world is Crystal Defenders? It’s on XBLA already, or is it not being released on PSN?
Bleh, where’s our increased PS1 selection? You guys are failing hard by not adding any.
So much for LBP this week…
Where’s the LBP Killzone 2 stuff? :(
@31 Debille…
All PS3 models can play PS1 games.
Okay, forget about Crystal Defenders, still, my comment about the PSone games still stands. As of now you guys are at Epic Fail status for the lack of increased titles.
Hope you guys rectify the situation, and quickly.
@40…it is available in ‘other’ PSN stores so I’m sure it won’t be long…
LBP. No ST Paddies day sackboy?
Demos, thank you.
Did the PS1 die already?
Agreed… where is Bomberman Ultra? It was supposed to release in 2008 and then I recently heard early March… its absence is very disappointing.
That being said, I’ll be hitting the links with Sackboy this week. Thanks again, Chris, wherever you are! I’m also hoping to try out that Legends of Wrestling game… not to show my white-trashness or anything.
