Bringing a new style of multiplayer mayhem with a tongue-in-cheek Gotham City style, you’ll want to see what the players in the Beta have been raving about. In addition, side-scrolling action comes in two flavors this week. For brutal combat action, you’ll want to check out Shank 2. For classic four-player co-op beat em ‘ups, download The Simpsons Arcade Game.
It’s also a big week for PlayStation legends Jak and Daxter. Not one, not two, but three of their original adventures are hitting the PlayStation Store today! And the best part?

This DLC will mark the first time in the series you’ll be able to play co-op as the UNCHARTED villains with Zoran Lazarević, Eddy Raja, Harry Flynn joining forces in a tale that further explores the mystery behind the Janus head statue from the on-disc co-op adventure. It, as well as additional DLC, arrives today and is available individually, or as part of Fortune Hunters’ Club.
New PS3 Full Games arriving today include the twisted puzzle tale Catherine, as well as the fun for all ages Top Spin 4 and Lego Pirates Of The Caribbean.

The Tester Season 3 Episode 1
Final Fantasy XIII-2 DLC here i come!
SIMPSONS!
Should move the store update to the top and replace the Tester 3 story.
People have been waiting long enough for it – put it somewhere they’ll see it…
Soo, one week from launch. Any official PSVita Downloadable title details. Also, what an awesome update! I’m still pushing for more PS+ cloud space… especially if I’ll be uploading my Vita files too.
finallly !!!! somebody fell asleep before posting the update. Its a good thing your paychecks are never deposited late like this, right ? you know who I am looking at
Well it’s about time! Great update though.
Fantastic update! I HAD to resubscribe to plus this week. it was just sooo effing amazing, keep up with the great updates!
Jak & Daxter Collection for me thank you. Nice Update
Nice, it’s up. There’s so much that I want.
Yippee ki yay
Is it up? I literally just checked like 5 mins ago…the turned Kingdoms of Amalur back on!!!! Game is soooo tits!
NIce FF V
BTW: on the European psn blog they announce that tomorrow will be Malicious on psn for Europe I wonder wen this game is coming to America ?
Dear PlayStation:
Why can’t you make store updates at a regular schedule during the day? is it too much to ask?
Nice freebies, but lite otherwise. Would like some more PSOne Classics, more PSP Legacies, and a few random sales. Aslo, MediaGo lists Legends of Heroes as a Special Offer. Is it on sale, marked down, or…?
About time… geeze!!! So what’s up with the new firmware coming out? Any cool features?
Spongebob? Really?
Will there be a way to turn off auto-reload in House of the Dead 3?
I thought that the GTA4 bundle was coming out today? is that later this month?
Finally. I’ve been waiting all day for the update.
Stop using “classics” for the PS2 games you’re putting up now. How about renaming them “PS2 games no one cared that are cheap to license”
I’m sure this update will make a lot of people happy, including myself. I wasn’t even expecting the Uncharted 3 DLC. It’s very nice to see Gotham City Imposters hit the store, and I’ll pick up Shank 2 when it goes on sale. I’m also very excited to see Playstation Plus get an exclusive early shot at House of the Dead III, I hope you will continue this trend with other offers as the year goes on. I cant wait to try out Final Fantasy and the Simpsons, right after I finish Assassin’s Creed Rev though. I don’t know what could topple February’s offerings this year, and we’re only into the First week!
Please Have a set time to release these store updates, it’s getting extremely annoying having to wait this long.
ooooh yea, simpsons ftw. eat my shorts
NIce well get da Jak collection but for da ps2 classics Sponqebob really ? yall should give more ps2 classics & good ones dat everyone is probaly waiting for .
Liking the new “New Releases” layout. Now the latest game releases can be kept front and center for a longer period of time now that demos/videos/etc have their own little catergories.
“Updates
