  • HOLY CRAP! Vandal Hearts: Flames of Judgment~!!! Now add the PSOne Classics, Vandal Hearts I and II~!!!

  • No wonder 360 fanboys get to brag about higher sales. All these people here would prefer not supporting PS3, but instead buy and spend their time playing out-dated and over-priced 10-15 year old PS1 games.

    If I were Sony I wouldn’t sell ANY good PS1 RPGs on the Store or any PS1 games period. Maybe people would actually spend money on PS3 games. PS3 has PS1 backwards compatability, that’s good enough for people living in the past. I would ONLY make downloadable PS1 games availible from the PSP store directly like the comics. Because people with PS3 should be supporting PS3 games. Period.

    For shame on you self proclaimed RPG fans not buying Demon’s Souls. And don’t pretend like you all did, because I know from the sale, you didn’t. And I hope all you people crying for PS1 JRPGs are buying White Knight. If not, you’re hypocrites and tools and the reason Sony is still in 3rd.

  • @148. Me buying things on the psn has no affect on me buying ps3 games. so your comments are probably wasted on the majority of us. I like to get the most out of the system. that includes all aspects of the system, movies, downloadable games, and disc based games. We are here to discuss downloadble content. Stop making assuptions about other people’s spending habits.

  • the one game I would love to make its way to the playstation store is Suikoden 2, cause you already have Suikoden 1 available to it

  • Much better.

  • i dont know why lots of ppl constantly hate updates that don’t have anything major in them. it kinda pisses me off because people that come out with all this stuff put a lot of effort to make just ONE piece of DLC. i mean yea they make these things because we demand it, but don’t hate on the lesser updates, at least its SOMETHING ya kno? better than nothing. besides, the bigger updates give us something to look forward to. keep the updates comin ppl. :]

  • BASS FISHING…??? ARE YOU SERIOUS?!

  • Grace, when can expect one of the best selling and best psp games ever made? FF Crisis Core, Getting a Go was a mistake

  • Hey Grace how are you, i was hoping to know whether or not you guys can ask Namco Bandai to publish Digimon Worlds 1-3 onto the Playstation Store thanks!

  • @148
    If PS1 classics are causing poor sales for ps3 titles, shouldn’t xbox360 and wii games sell poorly as well due to XBLA and Wii’s Virtual Console?
    I doubt any ps3 owners would ignore ps3 games and only buy ps1 games. That would be just ridiculous.
    PS3 definitely need a good library of new and old games if they are going to compete against XBLA and Virtual Console. Some people want to revisit older games on ps1 and that could be one of their reasons for buying ps3 instead of xbox360.
    Demon’s Souls’ poor sales probably don’t have anything to do with people buying ps1 classics. White Knight Chronicles is a mmo styled rpg and Demons’ Souls is a tough game that can be stress inducing. They are not the same as PS1 rpgs. It’s a matter of personal tastes. Demon’s Souls or WKC might not appeal to all rpg gamers. So let’s stop playing blame game.

  • Quote: If I were Sony I wouldn’t sell ANY good PS1 RPGs on the Store or any PS1 games period. Maybe people would actually spend money on PS3 games.

    Wow, nice generalization there pal.
    Not everyone who asks for PSOne classics boycotts buying PS3 games too. And for your information, even though PS1 discs are abundant on sites like Ebay, games like Suikoden II DESERVE to be put up on the PSN for the sole reason that it costs upwards of $100 to get a copy anywhere you look online. Not everyone has craploads of money to spend.

  • The SingStar Viewer is crackin’ me up!

    Even if you don’t have SingStar, download the viewer. Some of the videos are pretty funny. Very cool, thanks!

  • Really? A corny fishing game? Where are the PSOne classics that a lot of people actually want? Final Fantasy IX, Chrono Cross, Vagrant Story, maybe Gran Turismo 1 and 2, Xenogears … the list goes on.

    No one wants Bass fishing.

    Pretty fail update as far as I am concerned.

  • Sigh…its getting harder and harder to stomach these lackluster updates…I keep expecting a nice surprise each week…still nothing

  • I am SO getting Braid as soon as I can transfer to my account.

  • Great update on the 10 for 10 Game Sale! I bought Braid since its $7 and although I would of bought it for $14, i was waiting for a price drop. Great way to start off the new year with a game sale!

  • i hate to say it weak update. sale is good but no demos. hopefully next week looks better.

  • still have high hopes for some of the good PS1 classics :( brave fencer musashi, megaman legends, chrono chross, legend of dragoon. just some ideas :)

  • Grace,

    When can we except price drops on bigger PSP games Like Assassin’s Creed Bloodlines, or FIFA 10? We PSPGo owners have no opportunity to buy them used and we also dont get any of the packaging so 40 bucks seems a little to steep.

  • That is a bargain for Braid, picking that up tomorrow.

  • Any word on when Catan is supposed to be released in the US yet?

  • Is there any news on when we’ll be getting the Demon’s Souls Dynamic theme? I think a lot of people would like to buy it.

  • but.. thats.. more than 10 games..

  • Sweet deals on the Playstation store sale this week, but I’m still need to see more PS One classics soon. I like to get Gex 2: enter the gecko(my favorite game)and the Ridge Racer series to add my PS one classics collection.

  • Grace chen why cant talk with your users like EU blog does every store update

    look how many times thier store update manager replied

    https://blog.eu.playstation.com/2010/01/21/%E2%80%98heads-up%E2%80%99-playstation-store-update-21st-january-2010/#comments

  • @ 145 OMG Yeah i would buy those PMC logos in a second but sony missed that opprtunity this week.

  • Argh, I saw Crystal Defenders and jumped on my PS3 (figuratively speaking) but it was for the PS3. Maybe next time…

  • @170
    If you really wanted Gex 2, why don’t you go buy it since it’s already on the store and has been for a few months. Gex and Gex 2 came out the same day.

  • Is there any way to know if we are ever going to get Chrono Cross for the PSP?

  • I am really glad I waited to download some minis on my psp. Half priced games, sweet.

    Now is this a good sign, Sony throwing us a bone. Or a bad one, that minis aren’t selling that well?

  • This update wasn’t worth my time or money. I’m not getting anything this week. Better luck next week. please put up more PS1 Classics that don’t suck. Also stick more old PSP games on there.

  • will the assassins creed 2 dlc come out soon?

  • Where’s all the Square Enix love for my PSPgo? Why the hell did I even buy one if it’s supported this s***ly!

    Don’t drop the ball, Sony! You can still turn this around!

  • Yeah, I didn’t comment last week even though I wanted to, but there have now been 2 weeks of lame updates. I don’t expect *new* content every week, but I REFUSE to believe that it is this hard to spit out some new avatars or give us some decent PS1 games. Bass fishing??? Seriously, guys. Come on. Does anyone work at Sony anymore? Because I’m just about willing to volunteer at this point. Furthermore, the only worthwhile points in the post this week are the price drops on Critter Crunch and Zen Pinball. That is ALL you have given us. TWO WEEKS! Get it together, Sony. We WANT to give you our money, but we want some REAL content in return. Thanks for hearing our voice (sincerely).

  • By the way: @darthkrayt (or whatever your dumba$$ ID is) You are an idiot. Go away.

  • DJ Max FTW!! 5/5

  • new Pulse! this thursday?

  • in for critter crunch, gravity, and zen pinball!!

  • damn, i just bough zen pinball a week ago

  • Honest question, is there any reason why we get so gipped on PS1 releases and PSP games yet Japan releases things constantly? I mean, there’s no reason why we shouldn’t have all the PS1 Classics Japan has.

  • woot!! Game Sales are always GOOD!! Do more sales like this and you will get more of my money and im sure a lot more of other peoples money.

    Sony you must remember most people are still in very bad economic shape and are broke.

    I just now bought for PS3:

    UNO $3.99
    Critter Crunch $3.50
    Burn Zombie Burn $4.99
    Zen Pinball $4.99

    Prices like those for games i can’t pass up.

    Might buy later for PSP (just dont got any more room on my storage card):

    Crystal Defenders
    Savage Moon: The Hera Campaign

  • I’m just glad that sony knows we are in a bad economy and so by putting this sloppy content helps NOT spend money.

    No,seriously sony, the point is to make profit, so if you put content that people want, the people will buy. Supply and demand, again, supply and demand; its basic economy.

  • Any chance of having a sale on some of the older trophy games like Blast Factor? I could use a good twin-stick shooter :-)

  • Grace,

    Any word on whether updates to premium & dynamic themes are in the works?

    With the frequent firmware updates, new icons get added. This can frequently make a visual mess of the xmb, as they do not match up with the custom icons.

    Thanks

  • Awesome update.

    I bought Vandal Hearts right away and I hope it sells well so that more RPGs are released over PSN.

    Also, half off Braid was an excellent deal. I was waiting for this before buying it.

    Looks like I have something to hold me over until WKC is released, so I’m happy.

  • I’m a sucker for these PSN sales. Please keep them coming!!

  • Bought Vandal Hearts and it has very addictive gameplay. Hope that the first two get a PSN re-master.

    @Grace Chen

    One problem though, I get an error trying to sync the trophies to the server. Looks like a patch will be needed.

  • 1st, why do so many people say “we” when most of the time, I know what they’re saying certainly doesn’t apply to me, and may possibly only apply to themselves? It’s cute.

    2nd, Why is the inconsistency of an update such an issue? I mean, I’m as excited as the next guy to see what’s new, but really? There nothing else you’re doing but waiting in front of the PSG angrily awaiting the update so that you can be the first person to watch a video? I’m not trying to be cruel, I really would like someone to clarify. I’m sincerely curious, since I’m just satisfied to get the update whenever it comes…

  • Oops. I obviosly meant PS3. typed too fast there. And the post was regarding the inconsistent times of the update if that wasn’t clear.
