  • When are God of war III Chaos Trailer (Release Trailer) and Kevin’s GoW III Adv going to appear on the PSN Store?!

  • plz final fantasy 9 plz plz plz

    there are so many people waiting for this it’s not funny

  • Finally, more Minis are being priced the way we were originally led to believe they would be: at $1.99! I hope there are plans in the works for more of the classic LucasArts adventure games, too. I REALLY want Sam & Max Hit The Road, Full Throttle and Day Of The Tentacle on my PS3!!! I downloaded ScummVM on my PC in order to play Sam & Max, but I can’t get the bastard to work…

  • does monkey island have trophies?

  • Woulda been nice if Monkey Island came out originally on PS3, I already got it and beat it on PC so not getting it again. Classic game though for those who haven’t played it. And it would be nice to have trophies too but oh well.

    Wish we could get a Castle Crashers update. And a firmware update that actually did something.

  • Can you pleas put a sales section on the PSP’s PSN. Also any ideal If Shadow of Destiny is going to be up on PSN?

  • Another bad update for psp(Go) users hopefully someday we can rejoice and play games that we enjoy and want to play on our psp!

    seriously judging from all the bad games(psp wise) you guys have been putting up you would think they would have released them all and start releasing games we (as a customers) want!

    Hopefully next week will be different but i doubt it!

    Been waiting since October of last year to have my favorite be relased on the Psn…

  • Ro Hernandez. YOU are AWESOME! I don’t think I have ever seen this many replies on the store update thread! Way to listen and follow up! Thanks! :)

  • Nothing for me this week… Record of Agarest Wars is scheduled for next week, so I WILL be getting that, provided it doesn’t get delayed.

  • Picked up Monsters (Probably) Stole My Princess and Hysteria Project. I haven’t tried Hysteria Project yet, but Monsters is charming, fun, and just challenging and addicting enough that it kept me up about an hour later than I wanted.

  • i have to agree with socksandshoes on the psone classics. i mean come on what is so classic about these games, and i for one have downloaded some of them for my son because he loves everything racing. but these games were never released in this country. how about trying to actually release games that we the consumers have actually heard of. nintendo releases atleast 1 good classic every month for over 2 years now and have around 300 games on the virtual console from the old games. why on earth do we have to endure the junk all the time. what you guys need to start doing is to actually and honestly start putting out games the way nintendo does, because i am seriously giving credence to to just getting tid of my ps3 and buying a 2nd and 3rd wii just for their classic titles, in which case they again have sony buried with the quality of older titles that are coming out. they just released another ogre battle game last week. hmmm i think i am gonna give you guys just and only a couple more weeks to actually put some real classics on the store, then if you do not keep your promise to consumers that has been made multiple times, i will be through as a sony person forever. i don’t want excuses i eant action for my money

  • during the past month i have read about 2 games that should already be on the classics for sale, they are…
    star wars dark forces
    tactics ogre
    these games have already been rated and permission and all has been given so just put them out already, i am just so tired of the game vids and such you are falling so far behind nintendo when it comes to classics releases!

  • Once again, WTF are they thinking with their choice of PSOne Classics to release?! These XS games are utter CRAP! The last few weeks of Classic releases have been insulting. I say fire the idiot who’s making these inane decisions. The last good game to be released was One and that was a full month ago. Dissapointment is turning into anger >:(

  • The idea of MLB TV is pretty cool. I’d love to hear if there are plans to do the same thing with NFL Gameday.

  • only things that look interesting are the MLB app, and the monsters stole my princess mini

  • Is there going to be a map pack for call of duty modern warfare 2 if so when is it coming out for ps3

  • Another really thin week for PSP owners.

  • Great update today! Bought Monkey Island and I’ll go for Sam & Max next!
    Also the Lost Planet 2 demo was great!

    One thing that still bugs me, when we’re going to have Vagrant Story here? No answer from Sony, no answer from SQUARE-ENIX… I’m losing my hopes.

  • thanks for thoses half price games update
    i brough wipeout hd last week and ratchet this week
    i’m thinking about wounded dragons too cause it look good to play at 2 player mode whit my son’s and daughter + half price make me think twice… lol
    anyway i have ~40$ in my account and over 63 games on disc.
    i wish Socom confrontation half price for next week
    it would be awesome!
    i just pre-ordered today at ebgames, Red Dead Redemption!!

    half price games make me forget what you done 1st april fool,
    cuz i have 2 fat model; 1 x 80gb model and 1 x 160gb model
    i’ve installed on each one linux for my kids computers and myself…i loose an entire week to “backup” everything my kids did… what a waste… u just had to secure the exploit and patch everything needed. but not removing feature i’m using and my entire family using too…

    nyway i’m always supporting you guys since PS1 i loved every console you make my Everyday

  • btw: Final Fantasy 9 and Vagrant Story would be very great
    + everyone ask for it.
    i need All PS1 Final Fantasy games Collection.

    i have a question: why not making an application taking your PS1 games disc i insert in my PS3 and add it into my PS3 HDD automatically the same as my PS1 games in my XMB
    cuz it is like funny
    i have FF7, FF8, FF9 all box set original and i’m paying for something i already have since 10 years ago and collected
    and taking care af every CD’s no why i cant backup thoses games since the PS3 is PS1 emulation and all thoses PS1 games i have were all my christmas and birthday gift…

  • Any chance of having Penny Arcade Episode 2 on sale for the Spring Sale?

  • I can’t wait for those new demos

  • big games

  • Wow nice update! As usual way better than that of ours in Europe, that’s why I always download from the US store ^v^ Sssst… don’t tell SCEE hehe.

  • @Megalo… in Holland we have a saying… Stank voor dank, not really sure what the American expression is for that, but literally it means: stench for thanks… meaning, being ungrateful for things which others do as a great favor. At least the US store has PS classics, we in Europe may be happy with maybe 1 or 2 classics in 3 months.

  • @175 Onna76

    I hope you don’t take this the wrong (personal) way, but your logic is flawed.
    We are not Sony’s best friends, we are paying costumers. They don’t update the store as a favor, they do it in hopes that we buy stuff. But, as costumers (at least the smart ones), for us to buy stuff, stuff has to be worth buying…

    Saying that you are happy that “XS Moto” or whatever was release because in Europe you get 1 or 2 (presumably equally crappy) PSX games every 3 months is like saying you would love to have flaming poo on your doorstep; as long as someone left you something.

  • So it sounds as though there will be an update this Thursday, then another one on Tuesday. Crazy stuff. This will be a weird change, as a lot of of my gaming comes from the PSN.

  • Another worthless update. Stinks of desparation not innovation. These price reductions and lack of new releases is a knee jerk reaction to sonys recent lost of thousands of customers abandongint PS3 because the abysmal firmware updates this month. I like many thousands of others will nto be buying anything more from PSN store because the simple fact that SONY in its inffantile foolishness may now disable & delete it without notice.. NO WAY will I pay for software that even if I get it may dissapear at a moments notice without warning.

  • Can’t wait for xs junior league football to be released, haha. This is getting a little ridiculous with these games, and whatever happened to two psone games a week?

  • One playstation classic you should seriously consider to upload in to the store for download is Legend of Dragoon, me and a lot of other people would buy this game! : D

  • Sold my PSP Go on ebay and picked up a gameboy micro with some games. I’ve been playing classic final fantasies, castlevanias and metroids this past week, and I’m finally enjoying portable gaming again.

  • still waiting for some doom and other old first person shooters to go on psn. besides final fantasy and a few others the rest of the games suck! camon put something on there we actually remember. i just want to play some games that i remember to be popular back in the day. please psn all my friends agree. help us all out here.

  • i’d just like to know when the map pack for mw2 is going to come out and how much it will cost
    also there was a message going around in playstation network that there would be a game mode similar to nazi zombies for mw2 is this true ?

  • please give me a response psn. i just want to know if u know anything i mean anything about doom or any game like it comin to psn? please ive been playin ps since the ps1. u can at least let me know.

  • thanks for the updates by the way

  • i know im a pest. i forgot to add that doom 4 is comin out soon so it would be a good idea to put some classic doom on psn. right? remember wolfinstien 3d? u put it on psn b4 the new 1 came out. still please let me know if u know anything about doom on psn or let me know if u dont either way. thanks. ps im a doom nut. lol

  • I would love it if you guys were to bring the werewolf costume back and make a black takata kimono for irem. Again that’s just me…

    Wolfen Shirt and Pants cost 99 cents each

    (Solid Black Kimono)
    Takata Kimono top & bottom 1.99 together

  • Secret of Monkey Island is unplayable.
    In less than an hour, the game has complete frozen on me 5 times.
