I guess that classic PS1 game that we have been waiting for is nothing but a lie? Answer me PlayStation Blog, don’t be a jerk and tell me what happened.
CRASH BANDICOOT AND SPYRO FOR PS VITA!
I think I might have been dreaming but If I wasent is need for speed most wanted or any need for speed coming for free. Does any one know?
For the love of god, please just add Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops to the Vita store.
Is the TMNT game ever gonna come out?, or are they just gonna keep releasing videos until it gets canceled?
Don’t know, but you could try asking the developer/publisher on Twitter. They might not answer, but it’s worth a shot!
Konamiiiiii!!! You Son of Enders, Zoe of Enders 1 is $9.99 While the second and best game of the series is a whole $19.99….Damn you
Can someone please tell me why we (PS+ members) no longer receive free themes and avatars?
PS3 themes won’t sell unless there are previews. Just saying.
Tom Clancy? Nice! oh, wait. I already got a couple of those games this morning for my 360. The importance of posts about sales days before they are on and the early update of your online store.
Where is the Injustice DLC? It shows on the store, but says unavailable for download.
Crap, crap and more crap. Nothing good on Playstation Plus since Battlefield 3. I’m up to renew in September. If this keeps up I won’t.
@juju2662 ,
You read that on the EU blog, that title is coming to Europe and in August to boot.
Has ‘Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational’ got Trophies? (for the PS3 version)? ;)
Grace or Kristine, I noticed in May 7th blog the release of Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly was a ps2 classic put in the store. It looks like it is not in the Store was it pulled or an issue with the product?? Woul dlove input asap. Thanks and also nice update team
Yes, this game was pulled from the Store due to bugs. However, a fix is incoming and we hope to have it back up in the store soon.
I’m always bummed when the free game for psplus is not for the ps3. I know psplus has offered so many great games, it’s just I get excited to see the new game each week and am disappointed when it’s one I have no use for. I always download them in case I ever do invest in a vita though. One question I have is Why do I have to purchase the new episode of The Walking Dead when I purchased the season pass. It’s still considered season one, I feel it should be included under the season one pass. Thanks for listening! Hope to have a better Plus game for next week!
When we say we want avatars that EU has, I mean we want what they got. They have memes, such as a troll face, Nyan Cat, etc. They also have avatars that aren’t even based off of games, but just created for the gamers themselves. Like the “Noobs raise my K/D” avatar. We don’t get special avatars created by someone for us like that, it’s always us just waiting for the games to give us avatars. I mean, come on, EU has a Parry The Platapus avatar! I seriously want to see some changes in avatar quality for US.
So is the Hot Shots Golf game not cross-buy but the DLC is? Just to be sure because I already own the vita version and am considering getting the ps3 one.
#1 EU don’t have HDN or HDN MK-2 avatars or Disgaea 4
Please add a (add to cart) option for demos and videos because the PS Store lags when downloading things in the background.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Leona character add-on for Metal Slug XX will not download onto the vita from the download list. It says “cannot download using a PS Vita system”.
Can we please have that fixed to be able to play as Leona from KOF :D
Thank you :3
@ 68
Yes, I know, but they have a lot more that top us. Like Record Of Avagrest War (I know I spelt that wrong, sorry.)
You know what would be really cool…
FINISH ADDING THE REMAINING PSP AND PSOne GAMES FOR VITA!
Awwh, no Time and Eternity avatars (even though that’s up to NISA and not Sony)? Toki really wanted to be my Avatar, but oh well….I love Noire anyways.
But hey, at least we get DLC! The Peppers are especially useful, so I won’t have to waste time levelling up just to see one of the girls’ Memory sites, or a cutscene from one of their point of views.
@70 There’s DLC?
Anyway, I haven’t tested it yet, but it should be just like Gods Eater Burst’s DLC – you have to download it via PS3 and (hopefully) transfer it that way.
Why can’t I get my Injustice Star Lab Missions? It says unavailable because I already have the Season Pass.
Might get Persona 4 Golden again so I can have it digital. And I’ll check out the new dynamic themes.
Yes, we’re in the slow season again but that’s good for people who have huge backlogs on both PS3 and Vita.
So let’s get this straight; the “new” PlayStation Plus update consists of:
A PSP game that happens to work on the PS Vita.
A $0.75 discount on the DLC for an indie game. Not to mention, you’re listing each platform as a separate cost.
Aaaand discounts on games that were already discounted last week..
Badly played PSN
Kristine thanks, Now what about the game for people who already own it? I was going to buy my niece a digital copy of the game and can’t. So how soon of a fix will be out for the ones that currently own a copy of Fatal Frame 2:Crimson Butterfly ? Will we get email notifications for the ones that paid for it?
Is Hot Shots cross-save with the Vita version? Please say yes!
Hi I’d like to know when we will be getting the ‘cash back’ from the PLAY offer? I’ve bought the games offered last week.
Still no username change feature….
i’m gonna wait till theres some Dynasty warriors 8 DLC….i also want a Sima Zhao avater
lastly when do you plan on putting Steambot chronicles on ps2 classics?
Can you all look into having WWF Smackdown!, Smackdown! 2, Smackdown! Just Bring It, Smackdown! Shut Your Mouth, and Smackdown! Here Comes The Pain added to the store? The first two are PSOne games and the last three are PS2 games. They were all exclusive to Playstation but aren’t available on the store.
I own the PSOne games on disc but have two slim PS3s, thus can’t play physical PS2 games. Would LOVE to play some Here Comes The Pain again.
Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops please.
Also Metal Gear AC!D 1 and 2 for the psp section.
I’ll buy it a third time, so pretty please?
we must be in the game drought of 2013.. rehashes galore
Kristine do u know if they will ever bring avatars to the ps vita psn store I only have a vita right now
Even though my backlog is jam packed with games across various SONY consoles….yes all of them….
It truly is difficult to ignore the sales on the Persona games…P4G especially. I have been contemplating
a purchase of it for quite some time now. I bought Persona 3 FES last time it went on sale and it is really
Good…yeah, it’s my first of then all. I am no where near finished with it though. I could totally get into the entire series….on my White Vita…similar to how I repurchased a majority off the Final Fantasy series (the only ones I don’t have are Origins & III because I have the other handheld’s versions) to enjoy on my Shiny White Vita…Yeah it is such a nice system. I hope that it has a ton of support as a stand alone console over the next few years.
I’m going to add my voice to the requests of purchasing themes & avatars on Vita.
Is this something getting added or the compatibility getting worked on?
Also, what determines how long PS1 classics take to be added to Vita store?
Are the developers required to do a 100% completion run before the green light goes to add?
Thanks,
Philly
Nothing for me this week. Looking forward to next week!
@ 36 and Kristine Steimer
The Injustice Star Labs DLC is not available to the Season Pass Customers…
Its a error from the store… it is only available for non Season Pass Customers… you need to fix that ASAP…
Would actually love to see some of the JP avatars. They get the best ones
I’ve said this every week, and I shall say it once again. Persona 4 should be released at least as a PS2 Classic for PS3 owners.
Still enjoying last week’s free PS+ game: Jet Set Radio. I was hoping to see Dokuro this week, but Metal Gear Slug will tide me over until then. ^_^
Any chance of seeing the Jak and Daxter collection for PS3 go on sale? Thanks!
Anybody else have trouble downloading from the store on the Vita? I make my purchase, it says it’s getting ready to download, but it just freezes. I click cancel, and it freezes again when it goes back to the store. I have to shut it off.
This is literally any time I purchase something through the Vita.
Can we please!! get some ps themes and avatars of GOOD games!
Your offering every week is down right disappointing and terrible!
hey grace i bought HSG:WI for vita and now the ps3 and i’m just wondering if i bought the DLC on the vita if it will cross over to the PS3 like Kat and the Northern Fox Course it still shows the money price but i all ready bought them on vita. will try to get the kat costume thorough.
Is there something wrong with Chaos Rings on PsVita? there is an ad/banner on the PSVita PSN store that says its available for purchase but when i click on it so i can buy it the store says its not available for sale so whats going on?
Release the PS2 Wild ARMs games as PS2 Classics please!!!
I want them! :) thank you
Kristine, the EU avatars i’m referring to are all those ones that have gaming phrases like Gamer for life and such.
Any news on Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory or any ot the others becomming a digital download? (want to buy them for my ps3/ps4)
some naruto avatars would be good …. dragon ball z one piece bleach all that good anime ….
