  • Could have sworn there was going to be some kind of discount for NFS Hot Pursuit, but I don’t remember where did I get such thought.

    Well, doesn’t seem to be anything interesting for me this week. Not a bad thing, since I have a monstruous backlog pending.

  • So the Holiday Collection tab is not a sale in anyway, huh?

    Sad panda.

  • I just bought Saints Row 2 and Midnight Club complete from Best Buy for 7 bucks a piece Sony sells them for twenty a piece I’ll never have a reason to have this huge HD if it doesn’t make sense to buy digital downloads.

  • And now I am just timing out from the server…just me or PSN problems?

  • Just as a quick note, the Ellie avatar picture doesn’t match the actual avatar…

    Also, The Last of Us dynamic theme isn’t actually up.

  • How come the store is down? O_o

  • Wheres the Red Dead Redemption Bundle @30% off for PS+? i was hoping to buy it tonight….Post in the PS+ section clearly states it would be available today (12/13)

  • Disreguard, and THANKS FOR ANSWERING ! -@21

  • @56 That’s next week, part of the second wave of Holday sales.

    Has anybody noticed that they took the “The Last Of Us Dynamic Theme” from the details list? Could’ve been a typo or they might not do it anymore, or just having problems with it. Look back and you’ll notice it.

    P.S. Nice sales! :D

  • Please remove the sidebar pop-ins, Sony.

  • Wait where’s The Last of Us Dynamic theme?

    Hmph, picking up Nightwing DLC sometime soon and then Tales of Monkey Island next week (for $5!) Just in time for Christmas. I already own Beat Hazard on the PC. And it was….. ok… I guess. Would Definitely influence me to get more music on my PS3 if I bought it. B

  • @60 – I can not find the Last of Us Dynamic Theme.

    Morgan Haro – what happened bro? :-)

  • i dont see assassins creed 2 on sale for pus members in the store. anybody?

  • Does the digital version of Alice:madness returns contain the original Alice game like the retail version? Or would we have to purchase it through the store?

  • Memory for the cloud should be more than 150mb.
    Those without PS+ should at least get 150mb while PS Plus gets more. Auto Syc and Save can be for ps plus still, but everyone should have the option to back up saves online. System update should also be available to everyone else.

    Basic PS User get
    Cloud
    Auto system update.

    PS Plus users get
    Cloud
    Auto Trophy Sync
    Auto Save upload + more storage
    System Update
    and all that other stuff, nothing wrong with that.

  • Sonic CD next week ftw! …I’ll save my money til then, though.

  • That awesome blog header of the PS3 playing penguins would make a great dynamic theme (hint hint)

  • I have few cool questions: 1.When will Sonic CD be releasing 2. Are we getting the Price is Right decades soon? ;) and finally 3.Any more PS2 classics coming and maybe Gex: enter the gecko PSone classic? Happy Holidays everyone!!!! ^_^

  • why is Alice:madness returns a $40.00 download on PSN, when its cheaper on Steam, and on EA’s on site. do you guys really care for your customers? if this is going to continue in this manner then you can count me in out, especially when the next gen consoles come out.

  • @67 it was announced by SEGA earlier today that Sonic CD comes out next week.

  • seriously this is unacceptable psn. its been 2 months since magic dotp 2012 has released dlc on xbox and steam, and not only have you failed to add that on the psn store this whole time, you also haven’t added the dlc that is supposed to come out this week. AND to top that all off, every single person that has posted on here for the past 2 months asking why has been ignored by all mods. unacceptable.

  • I got so excited when I saw the still preview for the video of the PSN Holiday Collection thinking all those 15 games would be on sale. I was a little disappointed when I realised they weren’t (but man that would be awesome if they were!). I will be picking up that dynamic theme of The Last of Us, that game looks gorgeous, and the demo for King of Fighters XIII (I’m really glad you put that up).

  • only joel avatar? :( what about ellie?

  • Awesome!! Gonna get PS+ either Saturday or sometime next week I cant wait to enjoy the life of PS+ again.

  • I agree with # 9 in needing more storage space. Skyrim ate up a major chunk of it * especially with autosaves *. I believe Live is getting a hefty 500 mb area of cloud storage. This would be beyond arguable and very reasonable. Any news on Journey or a The Last Of Us dynamic theme. I seriously think the plants swaying at the beginning of the trailer would make an amazing dynamic theme.

  • Disappointed that the PSN games and PS1 games were not discounted, only grouped together so the feedback loop (where what’s already popular gets even more popular) can continue. Especially since they’re mentioned in the same paragraph as the PS3 full game discounts — which, if you’re going to discount a digital game, you might want to make sure it’s at least as cheap as its retail counterparts.
    I know Sony has to be disappointed at the trend that consumers only buy when items are on sale, but I’m in no hurry to get the PS1 games so long as they are at $10. Discount it 50% (or maybe even 30%) and you’d get my money. As it stands, you won’t.
    Why not have one of the PS1 games go on sale once a week?

  • Guys the I Am Alive dynamic theme is there and it has been for a couple of days. The only thing dynamic about it is the trash can on fire in the back. :P

  • Nevermind you guys are talking about the last of us my bad.

  • Oh, tell the webdesigners that that side pop up is insanely annoying… and way to big.

  • YAY SCEA! Who gives a poop about Sonic CD. We got FAMILY FEUD DECADES. YEAH BABY.

    Money goes elsewhere this week, I hear Europe is nice this time of year.

    Completely worthless update.

  • I bought the Split Second game last time around when it was 9.99. I read here there’s supposed to be bundle for it, like there is for the others listed. For me, it’s not showing up in the PS store. I know that’s probably due to me already having purchased it. So the bundle just won’t list to prevent me from double buying, I think. But at the same time, I’d have liked the option to see what it contains. Also would have been nice to be able to buy the DLC included in the bundle at a discounted price, since I’d already just purchased this game for 9.99; alas that’s just not the way the world works lol Oh well. I’ll wait out for the add-ons for Split Second.

    Can someone please list all the DLC that is included in the Split Second Bundle? I want to figure out if I “delete” my 9.99 purchase off my system, if I’d be able to buy the Bundle. Because as it stands, if I total up those add-ons available to buy seperately, ity comes to just over $32. I’d be somewhat cheapter to just re-buy this bundle of theirs. Kinda feels like I got punished for buying the 9.99 game they had for sale 2 weeks in a row prior to this bundle. Unless there are plans to come out with a bundle for the addons only? But I don’t see that happening.

  • OMG!
    That SKYRIM Dynamic Theme better be available on the EU Store Update!
    Or an Elf is gunna get their head cut off.
    hehehe :)

    ps. Tell Bethesda to FIX their game yeah.
    *sigh…….

  • No more ps2 games

  • ADD TOMB RAIDER CHRONICLES, IT WAS A GREAT GAME!`!! but other than that, this was a great update, keep it up

  • Hello Morgan I am a bit unclear of the discounts. I went to the holiday section to check out some PSN and PS3 games, didn’t see any discount but the regular price.

    • The Holiday Collection is about the PS3 Full Game Bundle Discounts, while looking back on the highest selling titles of 2011 in the other sections. Not all sections have discounts.

  • Pretty sparse week, but because it’s December I have no problem with that. Thanks for the great year PS Store team!

  • Also, when I went to go check out the avatars for The Last of Us the only one that was there was Joel, no other avatars for the game showed up. I’m using the Canadian Store by the way.

  • so when are we getting the tester season 3 it seems like it should of been airing weeks ago

  • Only one The Last Of Us Avatar is in the Store

  • hey morgan i only see joel avatar and no ellie

  • Hey, I got a message with a theme a few days ago saying that the Renegade Ops vehicle pack would hit today, but I don’t see it.

  • The ssfiv arcade edition dlc is on the store at full price still. I will definitely pick it up if it goes on sale as stated.

  • Just FYI a few people messaged me saying the Ellie avatar doesn’t show up for them.Obviously I got it :) but I don’t see it anymore either (but I do so other previous avatar purchases).

  • It would ne nice if there was a 3rd Avatar that says “THE LAST OF US”

  • The Ellie Avatar is missing! There’s only Joel.

  • Ive been waiting 6 years for one game crash bash and thats crash bash can u guys please help me out its been 6 years it cant take that long for you guys to get the rights and if its ablut converting the game just take my ps1 cd its like brand new i wanna b able to play that game any where i dont wanna mod and i dont want to pirate anything! Help a loyal sony fan out?!

  • Ellie Avatar?!?!

  • @talha007 crash bash is on the psn network in japan if you can figure out how the purchase it that is…

  • In the Canadian PS Store, Only Joel Avatar for The Last of Us game is available. Doing a search, for “ellie” brings up the trailer for the game. Doing a search for “Last of Us” brings up Joel avatar and the trailer. So Ellie avatar is not coming up.

    Can someone please msg me with the listing of the “Split Second Bundle”.
