All ready downloaded flock demo and the LBP content.
Hopefully I get my PS3 back tomorrow Sony or I am going to be pissed. I was suppose to get it back today, but I don’t know what happen. It been rescheduled to tomorrow.
Its an alright week today. I wish we’d get more avatars though!!!!!!!!
Good update
I just don’t see how Flock is worth 15 dollars. I know I won’t be getting that. I’m still on the fence about Rag Doll Kung Fu.
Hmm… Okay update
No Ps1 games though, but that’s to he expected from SCEA.
Nice! Can’t wait to get home and get Pulse and the flock demo. Oh and theres a demo for Sonic’s ultimate…I’ve been wanting this game but waiting for a sale.
kind of annoying how games are starting to go up to 14.99 these days..
Not that excited except for the free Phillies them! That I will take. Actually, besides a few other game videos and Pulse, there isn’t anything that peaks interest! Damn you PSN!
Not have a PSN Store Aniversary promotions???
Been playing Rag doll Kung Fu since the EU PS Store update released earlier today.
It’s really great.
Flower, Rag doll Kung Fu and CometCrash are the three best PSN releases so far this year.
And Canada still dosne’t have Video store or PlayStation Network cards
Nice update
Thanks Grace! Have a great weekend!
@8
I agree. I will buy 2 games for $9.99 at the same time before buying something for $15.99.
Actually, I think Wipeout was the only thing I’ve ever bought for 15.99 and I am happy with my choice!
once again, sony fails to bring PS1 titles to the PS Store…is it that hard to release at LEAST one PS1 title a week?!
PSN games started at 2.99
Then 5.99
Then 7.99
Then 9.99
Now 14.99
What the hell? I am afraid that in 6 months each game will be sold at 29.99..anyway fact it that I won’t be ever purchasing a PSN game above 5.99, that is a fact!
[This post ONLY refers to this week’s PS Store for PSP Update.]
Aside from that Patapon 2 Theme, none of this week’s PSP update interests me at all. Ah well, thanks for the update nonetheless. On a more positive note, it’s great seeing the PS Store updates ready so early in the day for the past few Thursdays.
What the Flock!?
Nothing good for the psp, as usual.
Flock!
Nice update, and early too, just the way I like it!!!!
Fun Times! More PSone games plz.
im getting ragdoll karate as soon as its available
im definitely gettin the flock demo cuz idk if i want that game or not so i gotta see if its any good….did anyone get the game?
Not a MAJOR update. I got the Flock demo 2 months ago, it’s ok, but NOT worth 14.99. Hell, Wheel of Fortune was a ripoff for 14.99..And I’m SOOO glad those questions I asked the Sony guy on the phone were answered truthfully.. couhing ..YEAH RIGHT LOL..
Sonic Ultimate demo.. it has potential, until we see the actual games we get in it.
A very BLAH week.
And SOOOOOOOOO disappointed at the Godfather 2 space… Dark,, and yeah you can play cards, but yuo can’t text messages while you play?
WEAK
Yeah, that $15 price tag was an eye-opener for me too. The difference between $10 and $15 may seem minor, but for that amount I could get two or three games off of PSN. At that point I’d need more than what could be classified as a mini-game within a full retail game.
As usual, a great PS3 update and shovelware PSP update.
Grace…any chance SCEA can see fit to add videos to all the games on the PSN so that I can get a ‘look’ at the game before buying it…seems the functionality is there but not being used much.
I know it is available ‘on the net’ but PSN purchases are impulse purchases and if I don’t see the info right there I’m more likely to just ‘move on’.
………………………………….
Any word on new release games from SONY’s 1st parties all being available on PSN from launch like in Japan?
Nice early update I’m likin it.
The PSP titles coming out are horrible. Puzzle games… WHY? Where’s all the greatest hits? We want quality titles like Daxter, Ratchet & Clank or even recent games like Resistance!
@Haskell420 (23)
That’s fine and all, but you didn’t pay a dime for that space so bashing it is pretty arrogant and ungrateful. Let’s not bite the hand that feeds us free of charge, eh?
Ima buy Flock and Ragdoll.
Ok….
Im trying to download Alpha Protocol Gameplay trailer but it says “Theres no item for you to download.”
Is anyone else having this problem?
PS Ive tried 7 times already
This is actually a fantastic update. 2 store games, a bunch of add-on content, themes, and videos, 2 demos and even a psp game to boot…
That said I find it really interesting how Nintendo has somehow taken better to releasing games from their old systems than Sony.
I mean, it’s not often Nintendo is ahead of Sony when it comes to online content…
@25.Wow, nice comment!! Ya, whats up with these Popcap rip offs?
…PSN PSP games are also very expensive. Take Parappa The Rapper. The game is 23$ CA. You can get it in stores for 10$…
@16
You should make exceptions on that price for WipEout and Burnout…but I get you gist…
For smaller games I’ve paid up to $10 and been happy with most purchases.
Most disappointing was Noby Noby.
Most surprising was AstroTripper.
I will be getting Rag doll but I hate that it does not have online it’s on the psn why not have online play
@Grace Chen (or one of the blog staff)
I’d like to put in a request for a Cross Edge theme. I’m really pumped and have it pre-ordered. Do you think you could pass that along for me?
@ 35
I frankly would have paid 69 bucks for Wipeout HD if i had to. it is worth that price tag. Other PSN titles should be sold at 5.99 , and all DLC at 2.99.
Color me underwhelmed.
Yet another week without psx games…
What the hell? I’m 100% certain I read Rag Doll Kung Fu fists of plastic had online play so I bought it today and its doesn’t:/
I wouldn’t have bought it if I had known cos theres no way its worth £8 without it.
Please tell me its being added in an update or something!
Rag Doll Kung Fu: Fists of Plastic full game $10.Rag Doll Kung Fu: Fists of Plastic LBP costumes $6.Something has to give.
Where are the PS1 games? And more recent and bigger PSP games?
Another week that could have been good for the PSP, and was brought down by expensive themes. Here’s hoping next week isn’t such a let down.
Thanks for the update, I’m glad we’ve been getting games consistently every week for the past 5(?) months? I remember when you’d be lucky to get a demo every other week, much less a game. Now, where’s Ad Hoc Party?
Yay demos after 2 weeks of drought we see rain. No but seriously, I WILL NOT BUY FAT PRINCESS FOR $14.99. I’m sure a lot of others will agree with me on this. Keep it at 9.99 and you have my money.
So XboxLive Gets FLOCK! first, and when we still have to pay $15 for it? Phhhh.
If FLOCK! Had Platinum Trophy like Burnout ($19.99) than i would waste $15 for a game like flock. Now Flock isn’t a waste but for $15 it is.
Burn Zombie Burn = $9.99
Super StarDust HD = $7.99
==================
FLOCK! = $14.99
==================
Burnout Paradise = $19.99
which three is the logical choice?
nice to see demos but wheres the infamous demo thats supposed to be coming
Any info on FreeRealms Beta, The Agency beta or the Tomb Raider: Underworld tropheies?
and is it true that jap users are gettin the final fantasy 13 demo next week? that would be sweet
i’ll check the demos out and some of the vids nice work guys
get those ps1 classic rolling and let US catch up to EU and JP on the library please!!
Nice nice. I am stoked for Rag Doll!
Another meh update. At least there is a new demo. I really hope things pick up for next week. These updates are becoming quite slack…..
