PS+ is the new Qore.
psp = dead
All PSN+ content I don’t have, so im happy with it, SHANK and PRESS YOUR LUCK? Good update in my opinion.
To all the PSN+ complainers: They only need to give an average of $4-5 dollars of content to get your moneys worth. Your expectations are to high. It’s only the what, 3rd month? Chill out people.
*Pround PSN+ Member*
Far too many games to be a good update.
I don’t understand why there can’t be a good and constant selection of avatars from successful and favorite PS3 and PSN games available?! Likewise for Dynamic themes, Fat Princess dynamic theme?
I don’t understand why Sony tries so hard to get players to spend money on things they don’t want or ask for and not willing getting money from players on things they want and ask for?!
Anyways, I’m debating on getting Shank. I was originally just going to buy it day one but with Castle Crashers on it the way next week, I might wait on this. I guess I’ll play the demo and see what happens.
I’ll see you for sure in a week for Castle Crashers! We demand a good and funny Castle Crashers dynamic theme and MANY Castle Crashers avatars! Sooner than later!!!
I’m not paying $15 for Shank.
I’ll wait until it goes on sale next year if I like the demo. Just like I did for Fat Princess.
@all whiners
dewdz mushroom wars has trophies! get on it!
Yet another week that lacks PSP content….and I said that last week…and the week before That…and the week before ThaT…
I just noticed we didn’t get the demo for Alien Breed: Impact like it was promised in “The Drop”.
https://blog.playstation.com/2010/08/22/the-drop-week-of-august-23-2010-new-releases/
Clearly says right under demos that it’s coming this week. Rey even confirms it in the comments section. Sooo…what happened?
as usual all content uploaded to the server a day ago but not released until the day its supposed to come out is almost over for us on the east coast.
and to the guy who said castle crashers was $10 when it came out you have bumped your head. it was on sale once for that price but both times i purchased it the price was 14.99 on amazon when they still sold xbl games.
you ps+ people are stupid for getting a service that you pay to get free stuff and discounts that youre paying for. its not free when you pay for something to get it. spend that money on games you actually want.
i want God of War : Ghost of Sparta demo , Motorstorm Arctic Edge DLC and Theme , Socom Fireteam Bravo 3 DLC and Theme , Little Big Planet PSP Themes and more PSP games on PSN , thank you
guess i should find a tutorial on getting CFW
awesome! i wanted to sure about shank before i bought it.
Sony relly thinks we PS+ owners are stupid by featuring TerRover in Qore and now again.
This sucks, they have been featuring strategy and racing games for the + every single time ,incredible.
Great update guys, thank you!!! 8)
Naruto! Thank you!
Where lbp1 full game like eu i want lbp1 29.99 full game on canada psn.
here i come MAG beta. I have been waiting 1 long week for this. great update guys. i will be playing MAG all night YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just bought MotorStorm 3D!
can’t wait before trying…
only need to put my kids to bed first. LOL
@105
It’s only the third month? You mean it’s okay for Sony to offer a half-baked subscription service, cut the amount of content in half for the second month, not offer add-ons, themes, or avatars as promised, and dish out trash like 2xtreme just because the service is new?
If it is too hard for Sony to figure out that giving people what they were promised is the best way to go about handling PS Plus, then the service shouldn’t even exist. I’m not paying to be a guinea pig.
ARE THEY FIXING THE PROBLEM WITH THE PSN CARDS NOT WORKING AND ADDING THE FUNDS???? ANYONE???HELLO???
hey fodawim ur totally right. i truly dont get it! i was so pumped for ps +. and so far its been total garbage. were is all the things that we were promised and why is there a game trial for games that are so old. if we havent tried the game by now we dont want to. i am sorry to say ps + has been major dissapointment. i am a loyal playstation person and i thought this was gonna give me somthing to brag about to my friends and so far its been straight crap.
im a plus subscriber and i have no complaints. I already gots my money worth and everything else is extra. so if you have plus and you are not satisfied, keep your crying to yourself. i for one don’t wanna hear it.
Dear Sony,
i wanna buy and play Shank but im gettin a ERROR:80023102 and wont allow me to add funds to my “WALLET” and it seems its not only me,on PS Forums,u can see lots of thread about it.
any update on this problem is much appreciated.
GOOD UPDATE..if it wouldve had ROCKET KNIGHT on the UPDATE list..it wouldve bin a GREAT UPDATE :p cummon PSN ..please add it on asap..i would really like to own that game..but the price tag is alil too much for a game that has NO ONLINE! $1o buks is a PERFECT price tag ;p
I loathe you Grace Chen
Just in case you’re saying that in your head to translate it doesn’t say rove or love. it’s LOATHE.
So many damn whiny brats… YOU SHOULD BUY PLUS it has gave more then live has to it’s paying members. This update was of good size and had something for everyone.
You whiny kids amaze me every update… WAAHHHH WAHHHHHH.
An OK update. I like having a demo for Shank and I am looking forward to trying out the changes to MAG. On the downside, I probably won’t buy Shank; $15 for a DL game makes me wait for a sale. Would have bought Shank and Joe Danger day 1 for $10, but at $15 I don’t mind waiting awhile. Will wait on Castle Crashers for a sale, too.
Sony is saving me money by releasing nothing week after week for my pspgo.
2 GBs SHANK?!, wow, it seems to be more than meets the eye
@PROPH3CY, check the expiration date on the CC you have saved to your account. It likely just needs to be updated.
to all annual Plus members who will not want your PlayStation Plus account to automatically renew itself, Sony has that setting turn on by default, you may want to go to your >> PlayStation Network icon >> Account Management >> Transaction Management >> Services List, and look for PlayStation@Plus and click on it, disable it.
glad i checked, i’d be stuck with another year of garbage
bunch of hypocrites
WHAT IS GOING ON???
Its now the 3rd month of Plus but no avatars or DLC or dynamic theme for 2nd month?? This is a problem and we need this fixed asap. Why is Europe and Japan giving the right extras every month on time but in USA it is so much hassle??
How can I REFUND plus??
Sony you’re mean, I want to buy PS+, but I also have to get a bunch of games this year, some of which are from YOUR first party studios! Why do you have to give me so much content?!?!
Please note that was not an actual complaint, keep the great content coming!
“It has gave more then…”. Whatever dude. Also Live has a demo for almost every game, more avatar pics and themes and a great interface. I love my ps3 (lvl 16 with 30 plats) but plus is a bust. Wipeout and Critter Crunch I already had and the demos are for old games. If that satisfies you then you are either new to the system or are not a prolific purchaser of games. I don’t want $50 worth of stuff now, but $3 worth in 3 months is wack.

For the first time good update !!
I like everything in PSN+
I can’t add funds to my wallet using a playstation network card T.T(error code 80023102) I even updated my billing information so that is not the problem…Is it because of the update?please help….
Everyone trying to add funds is having this problem. I’m really starting to get tired of PS3. If it wasn’t for the SHOW I would have already been gone!
HEEEEYY !!!!! Where is Alien Breed Impact demo ?????!!!
I’m not dreaming, you said Alien Breed Impact demo will be release this week : https://blog.playstation.com/2010/08/22/the-drop-week-of-august-23-2010-new-releases/
Damn…..
HEEEEYY !!!!! Where is Alien Breed Impact demo ?????!!!
I’m not dreaming, you said Alien Breed Impact demo will be release this week
Boo no new avatars.
hey in my pspgo i cant see the videos section on the psn whats up? also WHAT? people cant add funds? imma chech it out myself ha
Every two weeks, Grace Chen takes a dump on my chest.
Fact.
Great update! More free classics from PSN+, and some great new games… excellent!
C’mon everyone, settle down!
Can’t we just accept that Sony’s just like a cheap whore you pick up on the streets? Loves to take your money, and gives little in return.
On second thought, money spent on a prostitute might be a better investment…
@141
I re-checked the Drop for the week, which as far as the PSN can be misleading. It seems they add and subtract to it AFTER it is posted to reflect changes that they can’t always stick with. For this week’s post, it did say we would get an Alien Breed Demo. Whatever the reason, it is still listed on the Drop. Hmm…
@145:
I agree. Except Sony loves to take your money, and gives you crabs, herpes, and the clap in exchange.
Crabs = 2Xtreme
Herpes = Mushroom Wars
Clap = Protection Plan
@146:
Ever wonder why they call it “the Drop?”
I’ve come to two possible explanations…
1) They “drop” items from their list frequently
2) See post #144
On a side note, I’m noticing that I reply to more users on this blog than the representatives from Sony.
Perhaps I should be the new voice of the PS Store weekly update.
