thanks for another week of great updates!
An early but ultimately useless update.
Elemental Monsters for only $xxx? That’s a steal!
holy crap it’s early!! thanks!
is there any word on the HD ICO/SOTC release date?
also I thought there was gonna be a Test Yourself: Psychology add on.
I remember one reply saying an add-on would be “soon”?
Early update is early.
Nice update, now if the UPS man/woman would arrive with my copy of Portal 2, everything would be right in the world
Aww, is that it for the Dissidia 012 updates?? Seriously? …I guess I can wait for the rest…
Battlefield 3 Theme! Yay!
Am I reading this right? Is God of War: Ghost of Sparta now available to play on the PS3 in addition to the PSP? Because that would be awesome, and I would totally get it.
And another early update, thanks! Dino Crisis 2 for sure and maybe Fancy Pants Adventures :)
Something isn’t right. It’s not even 4pm here yet.
God of War: Ghost of Sparta – Sale (PS3) (now $29.99, original price $39.99)
God of War: Ghost of Sparta – Sale (PSP) (now $29.99, original price $39.99)
That is obviously a mistake right?
How about making some Kevin Butler Avatars?
Update is kinda ok
What about the free Socom 4 junk mentioned in the previous Socom 4 blog post? Something about free avatars this week; free theme next week.
DEFINITELY needs more Parasite Eve 2 on PSN here…but NOT upset about this early update. Kudos!!!
PS3 Legacy: 0
PSP Legacy: 0
PS1 Legacy: 2
After a few weeks of zero PSOne classics they put out two at once which is pretty nice. The other systems got nothing though. Oh well.
Four PSN, three PSP, two PSOne and three Minis. That’s a pretty packed week. Plenty of variety to go around to, action, puzzle, adventure, rpg, etc. Nice to see a bunch of different things put out there. Lots of videos to check out to which is good because the more information you can get on a game the better to make your buying decision with.
There are some alright deals even if none interest me such as the PoP bundle. I’ll keep waiting for a sale/pricedrop on the individual releases since I’d really only want the first game. The first Blue Toad episode being free is pretty cool. I enjoyed those games and now there’s no excuse to at least not give it a try. Oh, and another game soundtrack for sale! Sweet. Keep ’em coming!
All in all a pretty nice week. I’m thinking maybe four stars?
Mortal Kombat Online Pass ($9.99)??????????????????
Hmmmmmmm!!!
No thanks
any word if there will be more red johnson games?
I love you Grace Chen.
Will be picking up Red Johnson’s and most likely Dino Crisis 2, and Threads of Fate. Would love to buy Fancy Pants and Puzzle Agent but worried about a deal popping up after I do.
Excellent update;)
Wow – early update – can Sony keep that up or is this a one-off? Would love to see them always up by 5pm ET.
Im getting fed up with having to relogin ever five minutes. what the hell is wrong, psn keeps timing out. And no plus stuff, thats TWO WEEKS of NOTHING!!!! Oh and PARITY FOR MY MONEY AS THE CANADIAN DOLLAR IS WORTH $1.04 US. I would like to not be robbed again this week.
You guy’s dissappoint again. Bring me parasite eve 2..Right now i can only afford cheap psn games every now and then, I’ve got more important things to buy then great games for 60 bucks. Damn sony, think of the non rich too will ya!?
Dino Crisis 2….OK….take my money.
QUESTION:
Since we are getting one PC Engine game (Neutopia) would I be correct to assume more PC Engine titles are on the way?
Thanks very much.
Where is the zen pinball new table?????? We got a patch with the new dlc trophies but there is no new table whats up with that ?
Im off to go buy socom 4 now, please ensure the integrity of the servers.
Personally i am only getting FF4. its strange though. i tried to add funds in my wallet through my credit card but it keeps popping up as invalid, but i can use it on say paypal. i guess ill have to wait to get the game.
Anyway. again pretty weak update except for ff4 and i really wouldnt count that since its just a remake, but i never beaten 4 before, so its good for me.
Still it would be nice to get some past psp games. i dont see what the hold up is. i mean square can put out some games, but refuse say Crisis Core? just doesnt add up.
Also what is the point with the BGM for dissidia. do they add anything else to the game, or just simple music? doesnt seem worth it to me since it doesnt add anything to the game.
Fancy Pants Time!
Arcana Heart 3 I hope I can get you.
I want….more PS+ that I don’t have -.-
Nice. an early update. To bad there is no AD ON stuff for mortal kombat. :(
Sweet, Virtua Tennis 4 demo
Aiyah… Threads of Fate, Sonic 2 AND Dissidia Music on a week where I’m helplessly poor. @_@
Not a bad update at all .At a nice time of day too . Thanks and will post later thoughts on what I buy .
Where is LBP2 MINI Tron Pack???
Awesome battlefield 3 theme and faultline trailer, is that the full 12 minute one?
Still no Dynasty Warriors 7 DLC? Bummer.
Dino Crisis 2!
oh btw nice to see the Easter dlc for Modnation racer being free .
Glad to see FF IV is downloadable. For those of us with PSP Go systems, thank you! Now please, put FF I and FF II on the network too!
Where is the Virtua Tennis 4 demo? I don’t see it out at the store.
These updates get old especially when im in the middle of a match online and get kicked. Can’t yall find a way to do these updates with out shutting down the network.
An early update is always good. More content heavy updates usually take longer. Why don’t you guys set up the updates make on Wednesdays and hit the switch at 12am. No more late updates!
Doesn’t any one else get mad when this occurs? I know its nessicary but i wish yall didn’t have to totally shut down the network.
I would like to get Marvel Vs Capcom 2 but I cant use my PS3 to download it could anyone please post the SKUID for it to be able to download it via Media Go
many Thanks
Sorry for being snarky and pointing out the slight mistake. You guys rock. Thanks for the great update.
marvel vs capcom 2 half price at least.
Nice great update. Lots of PSP stuff! Keep this up and you get my money! Simple, right? :)
ATTENTION: GRACE/SONY: I’ve asked a few fellow PSP board individuals on another forum before bringing this to your attention:
Apparently, the What’s New Column on the Store Home page hasn’t updated since Feb 21, for multiple users. Just wondering if you’re aware of it, as it potentially is affecting your exposure of new products coming to the store.
The screenshot http://img813.imageshack.us/img813/9555/psnwhatsnew.png here should illustrate what I’m talking about. This doesn’t negatively impact my PSN experience, but being up to date couldn’t hurt.
Thanks, I’ll forward this to the team.
…and it’s updated. The system works! ^_^
