@ 79 Populous: The Beginning they give it very good rating if you search for from the PC side lol. I’d might pick up :)
very very lame update this week..:/..i was hoping for some new psn games..or better price drops on good games. oh well theres always next week..hopefully psn makes it worth the wait
Hey Sony.
please bring the Ace Combat games to the PSN.
Grace:
Mind giving us an update on what is going on with dragon age return to ostagar? I picked up the ps3 version of the game.. as it is my primary console… and i always try to get games on the ps3 first, if i have a choice… now, i am regretting it… if i got it on xbox or pc.. i would have played and finished it already.
the rep from bioware said that the ps3 dlc was submitted the same day the xbox version was submitted.. and they got it like more than 2 weeks ago!
please hurry! thanks~
by the way, other than that.. nice update this week! :)
Grace, I normally dont get on here much mainly because the complaints outweigh the good work that you and your crew have been accomplishing for quite some time. All I want to know is why is the PS3, the fans, and yourself getting the cold shoulder when it comes to getting content that almost everyone would enjoy? Why hasnt Sony released The Who DLC from the superbowl? The other systems got the content after the game was over. Also I want to make it clear i dont want the other systems because they are not the powerhouse that playstation is. You do a great job Grace you really do. I just dont understand. Sony owns the other competition hands down and yet it wont stand by the pspGo when it comes to content the majority wants. I dont own a psp Go but if I did, i would keep it in the box until something good showed up in the store. Last of all, I want to know what games you would want to see in the store. Anything would be better than a large case of the nothing. You may not own sony, but you do have a voice. Please let all of us know whats going on as far sony goes. Thank You.
LOVE the Flower theme, It’s elegant and beautiful, we need more themes like this. Honestly you guys keep coming out with Dynamic themes I will buy theme lol. I’m going to resist the urge to play the Heavy Rain demo… I think lol, I already have the game and want it to be a complete surprise.
Yeah Megadeth!
Favorite 80’s thrash band!
I meant I already PREORDERED the game hahaha I WISH I had it already X]
Playstation, you need to release Final Fantasy IX for download. Please?
Flower Dynamic Theme! Alright! I’m all over that. I like the Heavy Rain demo and all, but that just made my night. Please put out the soundtrack out as soon as possible please. I would eat that up in a heartbeat. I’m a little disappointed about no S-Mashup by The Who for RB, but that’s ok. This makes up for it.
Bought the Flower theme right away. Flower is one of the best DLC on the PSN, and they certainly earned my $3 “tip”, if you will.
And what’s up with the $3 Wipeout Theme that I got ages ago for free on the Euro Store?
now if only EA/bioware will get off their behinds and put out the dragon age RtO DLC, i’ll be happy. they can’t really hide behind their excuse for the delay anymore…
PSP Go=No Crisis Core
Where’s the PSP content? We’re still missing a large portion of top UMD titles. Can we get some information on future plans please?
What the heck is up with that dantes inferno dlc!? are they seriously trying to charge us for souls to upgrade? WOW now thats a new low i must say, whats next, we gotta pay for health orbs too?
pleaseeeeeeeeeee….. make the psp games cheaper on the playstation store than retail stores…… i bought a psp go on launch day and i only picked it up about 8 times… imagine that— 8 times!! its because i have no reason to play if i cant buy games that are more affordable…. .. oh.. and i dont want to be rude or anything.but tell the firmware guys to get off their lazy asses and make the psp more fun … try adding a friends list like the ps3 … u guys ever thought of thAT!!… anyway great update
@115 no if u want to earn it you can, if u want to not earn it u can buy it, simple..
78@ somethimes when u dl a game it takes longer because your playing, it wont stream as fast, so it might 4 hrs to dl it..
mcbuttz78
good update except the wipeout dynamic theme is free in the uk store why does the us charge for everything
Will the new God of War 3 trailer be on the PS Store after the GAmetrailers premiere tonight ? I dont have cable tv, just internet :)
Very disappointed with the recent lack of PSP games, while the ps3 content is great, why not show some love for the PSP folks to? Giving us 1 very mediocre mini game, Spaceball: Revolution is not what I call support. However still loving my PSP, highly recommend the new Silent Hill shattered memories, great game!
liked the heavy rain demo im definitely gonna buy it…good update btw…keep it up :)
thanks for the heavy rain demo fight scene was epic!
Wow nice see titles on sale each week and to finally have a few more dynamic themes to choose from. If only we had more avatars or are they just going to be held off for the premium online service?
I really don’t understand Sony’s intentions for the PSPgo. My seven year old was able to understand my example so I’ll use the same.
The PSPgo costs more then other PSP systems but does less. For example there is no UMD drive.
Instead you can download a very limited selection of PSP games from the Playstation Network at a higher cost then retail.
This must have been the conceptual model used in making this decision:
PSP System —higher-cost–> PSPgo System
PSP Game —higher-cost–> PSPgo Game
Now that I’ve drawn it out everything makes sense; this is genius.
Most people are too dumb to see this insanity! (let alone know what a conceptual model is…)
Expose everyone to an insane product development life cycle, those intelligent enough to see the flaws may not contribute, but they are the minority of the population.
I guess the Japanese are really smart.
oh wow. i love the Flower theme. soooo serene. im recommending this to everyone.
Grace,pls Vagrant Story in next update!Uk already got it,so how hard can it be
Trine down to $10? Yes please. Glad I held off on it, now I can go get a $20 PSN card and buy Hustle Kings and Trine with the same card. Done deal. Decent releases this week, good price drops and a Heavy Rain demo. I have it a 5 square.
@116
You are right though , all my psp is good for is music for my car and mlb the show 09. Other than that it seems like there’s no life in the psp . why can’t we stay connected , have a friends list , the same xmb like the ps3 . I mean the psp was the one who style the xmb first .. I mean almost every freakin house is wireless now . THERE ARE OVER 55 MILLION PSP SOLD AND I ALWAYS FEEL LIKE I’M THE ONLY ONE WHO OWNS ONE.
It’s good to see more PSone games being added, but I think I speak on behalf of many gamers who have interest in the classics when I say that it would be better if you guys could get actual PSone CLASSICS. As opposed to just “games that happen to have been on PSone at some point”. You should begin by focusing your efforts on getting Vagrant Story over here, it’s available in the EU store, and is VERY highly sought after.
Thanks.
wow if i’d honestly had some sort of way of seeing the future i would have waited to buy burnout
thanks for bringing the complete edition option out right after i bought the ultimate box
i cant see how developers market dlc .. the buyer is better off waiting a few years for a game of the year/complete bundle instead of gettin raped for stuff like a $10 dollar game mode for burnout or 5 bucks for a car
im still disgusted with SE stripping FF13 too but o well whats done is done back to some white knight chronicles
keep up the work guys
@124
dude the go destroys the other models tech wise aside from no physical media
16gb internal storage vs what 8-16gb card usage which you have to buy seperate
option of up to 16 gb microSD car to double storage
bluetooth 2.0 capable headset vs contemporary wired psp headset
its an optional update but i stuck w/ my god of war psp which serves its purpose as a external storage device atleast till i get my crisis core back
The Heavy Rain demo sold me on the game thanks!
The Fabolous Grace Chen,
My question is simple. When it comes to PSone games, are the ones that were published by Sony the only games being distributed on the psn store. when can we see such games as Legend of Dragoon and Chrono Trigger (i know chrono trigger wasnt published by sony but i think dragoon was). and if its just sony games when can we see other publishers. thank you
When are we going to get the newest dlc for dragon age? I mean realy return to osterguard has been out for 2 weeks now, why not on ps3?
Flower Dynamic Theme feels sweet… sigh.. beautiful….. RECOMMEND THIS FLOWER DYNAMIC THEME!!
Are we ever going to get VAGRANT STORY in the US?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Heavy Rain demo,great.Sorry none of those PS1 games are”classic”.If you want the PSP GO to fail you guys are doing great so far.Why do your stores not have the same things at the same time for the same price?How hard is this to do?I know keeping Home updated because it’s free is important because you sell things on it but how about less virtual clothes for virtual people and more actual games for us to buy?
How many times do I have to come here and complain before you start actively supporting this PSP Go I feel I completely wasted money on? Is it safe for me to assume that at this point, the PSP games that are currently on the PSN are it? Are you done digitizing the vast catalog of available UMD PSP games still not available for us PSP Go owners? Freaking ridiculous.
Well since the EU PSN has Flower for like $5 I’m gonna wait and see if we get a discount soon. In the meantime I bought Trine, so thanks for the discount (even tho it’s not advertised) :P
look I’m sorry but these pay for dynamic themes are BS and I for one am never going to buy one. I know you think micro-transactions are the future and all but coupled with the rising price of games I just can’t do it. It’s a shame cause I would love to have an open market like there are for the regular themes, and I would LOVE the flower theme considering I already bought the game. You guys gotta start bundling that stuff or something cause I just can’t imagine buying it!
HELLZ, YEAH!!! Finally a decent update! Been waiting all day to get off of work and start downloading stuff! Just picked up the Flower dynamic theme and I LOVE it! Before this I would ONLY ever use the LittleBigPlanet dynamic theme on my XMB, but I can definitely tell that this one will be staying in place for a LONG while! Also downloading the Heavy Rain demo right now! I CAN’T WAIT TO PLAY IT!!!! This week is a total WIN, Sony! Keep it up with the demos, WORTHWHILE dynamic themes, free stuff and price drops! =D
Oh, and to all you haters like the guy commenting above me about how he “can’t imagine buying it” (in reference to the Flower theme) STFU!!! How do you expect developers and artists to get paid?!?!? You all act so high and mighty sitting on your couches doing nothing but consuming and bitching, but you’re probably really just high! Get a life and spend $3, you losers! Jeez!

will this bundle be there next week
I’m going to have to echo what some others have already said. I’m tired of being told by third party developers week after week that they submitted the DLC to you and yet you hold it for an extra week. Where is The Who Superbowl Smash-Up DLC for Rockband 2? Where is Return to Ostragar for Dragon Age Origins? Please don’t allow the competition to have an edge on you in any area. We deserve DLC the same week the competitor gets
it, we already have to wait 2 extra days we shouldn’t have to wait extra weeks.
I somehow doubt that is two full chapters from Heavy Rain, since it takes about 10 minutes to beat and they said the full game is 12 chapters. Enjoyed it regardless, thanks.
Why US Heavy rain demo is just 1384 MB?
In EU Store it’s 1754 MB…
There’s a difference of 370 MB?
What’s the actual difference?
@146 Probably language tracks.
@146 yeah it’s extra language options.
Please get Amazon.com’s PSN store to update the sale prices!
wow! populous the beginning. I’m looking for this for ages! download!
