  • Would’ve been better it had Home beta on it, though. Everything else is still pretty good, though. Snakeball might be nifty for a bit. Hope to try out those Eye games sometime.

  • @tearsofash- pretty good? this prolly the biggest and best update ever…you should be more appreciative that you are not having to pay monthly to get this content..

  • i support this update! cant wait for some money to dl the warhawk stuff and might pick up the poker game now too

  • OOh man, this is the best update you’ve ever done! This is really great content wise, and Im digging the new style, too.

  • Lol, lots of stuff today. The PS Store update should tide me over until January.

  • Amazing update. Thank you for the free holiday goodies too.

    Have a happy holiday Grace.

  • i actually like this update, although there are still 6 Guitar Hero 3 songs to be released alongside We Three Kings…wtf is with that?

  • I was wondering when the original warhawk game would be released. I think I’ll go try that out.

  • Wow HUGE UPDATE.

  • This is an absolutely fabulous update. It’s going to take me forever to download everything that I want!

  • This is a really good update! How could anyone complain. Warhawk Theme!? PAIN Themes! Warhawk the PSOne Title, Warhawk Omega Pack! WARHAWK!!!!!!!!1

    This is a really great update, a perfect Christmas Gift!

  • @tearofash (1): You gotta be kidding.

    Great update, no wonder it came so late, but wow. Cant wait for Snakeball (been waiting), cant wait to “admire” Area 51…and all the videos are gonna fill my HDD, themes should be awesome too.

    Anyways, this is one of the best updates ever.

  • I wish every update was like this. This one is the best one yet!

  • Another good update!

  • i got Omega Dawn yesterday. that damn dropship requires some heavy teamwork! go buy it if you haven’t. Blacksite demo looks ok. vids look good as well. and WARHAWK PSone! too busy with the PS3 version lol.

    very nice!

    and out of random curiosity, can you PLEASE make more games remote play compatable? like downloaded games wise.

  • Oh hello there Draicus! Nice PlayStation Store redesign btw, looks great, hope you keep working on mock ups like that, your really good at them, love the new store design. And of you get serious there is a chance I could send them in to a friend who could have some others take a look at it. It might not become the next PS Store update, but they would see it, and you never know, it could happen.

  • Thats one hell of an update, it makes up for next week. Great work guys, keep it up.

  • oh, no wonder it’s such a big update, NO UPDATE NEXT WEEK. good thing i read that.

  • @ #2

    Yeah. It’s a pretty “good” update. Most of the stuff updated this time around is stuff I don’t particularly care about. So …for “me” it’s a “good” update. While for others who own the games they released addons for, it might be a “great” update. Just because there’s a lot of stuff, doesn’t make it a great update. It’s very well-rounded for an update, but there’s only 1 or two things in my download queue instead of the usual seven or eight.

  • The new deseign works well, makes it easier to find new stuff, already got warhawk booster yesturday, will buy original warhawk to see how its changed :D and thanks for the tv spots, we all really wanted those :D We’ll miss you next week, but its a Sony christmas at my house this year(getting daxter pack psp FFT and a ton of ps3 games)

  • FINALLY!!

    Some ps eye games, you guys need to make more, and people will buy the ps eye and the content.

  • Thanks for the DMC4 trailer… any word on the demo date yet other than 2008?

  • Sony.. thanks for the PS eye games… u need more games and better for 2008… one thing.. make the aquatica and mesmerize games a screensaver… when the ps3 is idle pop the game… something like F@H

    The poker add ons thanks.. and free…

    And finally you are learning to make demos from the arcades games uh? finally… that makes more content in the store and better for us and for you.. is a chain

  • man this was the best update ever no matter what anybody says and the next update we get will be in jan. so it will prob. will be home so thanks sony!!!!

  • Any chance of getting any new avatars for our online names ;)
    BTW thanks for the update and all of Sony for working hard.

  • Happy Holidays Sony Team!

  • @cmargary (24): Ummm, no, they aren’t “learning”, because that is not Sony’s job. It is up to the PSN titles developers to make a demo or not. Sometimes the team is just too small and no time to do that. Learn the facts behind what you base your opinions on, too much [DELETED] going around these days dont you think?

  • Looks a lot when there’s description placed after each update. LOL

    Anyways. Stellar update. so the full game of Snakeball is up?

    I haven’t had the change to check.

  • @cmargary (24): Ummm, no, they aren’t “learning”, because that is not Sony’s job. It is up to the PSN titles developers to make a demo or not. Sometimes the team is just too small and no time to do that… Just dont be so sure about what your opinions are when you dont even know some of the facts behind it…

  • This is an amazing update.

  • @1

    What were the usual seven or eight for you for last week?

  • HECK YEAH SONY! HAPPY FREAKIN HOLIDAYS!

    This next year is gonna rock!

  • Happy holidays SCEA! Thanks for the updates. I’ll be enjoying those Folklore costumes. Nice to to see new themes and lots of content to keep everyone happy.

    Just one thing remains for this year, but that’s not to do with SCEA, that’s over the other side of the world and our eyes turn to SCEJ and GT5 Prologue online, Xmas Day! Great way to end a fantastic year.

  • @Sheen (7)

    I’m wondering where those 6 songs are also… I wasn’t going to buy them anyway, but they should be there if I ever consider it.

    But hey, thats activision for you! Always favoring the RROD. If I thought they did a crap job with guitar hero then I would sell my bundle back.

    On another note look at the RB content we were promised…its there! That’s harmonix for you.

    Harmonix : people
    activision : money

  • Huh, a shame EU got Populous for their PS1 on PSN game, but I’m glad we got something! Is there anyway whoever is in charge of the PS1 on PSN releases to post a blog entry, letting us know what SCEA’s plans are? Maybe take some suggestions for 3rd parties (FFVII) or let us vote on releases from Sony’s own catalog (Intelligent Qube)?

    As for the rest of the update, I wish I had Folklore, but I got too much to play that I was postponing a lot of games until next year when I get a chance. I hope the holiday update remains available (and free!) for when I get Folklore.

  • All I have to say is I’m glad we got some kind of a Christmas theme thing with the santa/cookie themes but there should be a way to turn off theme sounds to revert to the original ones because I like the noises…but not the ones those themes came with…just saying…there should be an option just like how we don’t have to view the bgs the themes come with

  • Very nice update. I especially like the High Stakes Poker free content. Keep the Rock Band music coming, I’d like to see some more Metallica tracks for download.

  • Wow really great update!!

  • I appreciate the freebies, and thanks for the updtate.

  • @ S3NTRY

    ok… I touch a nerve somewhere…

    I know and almost everybody knows that… but they can said the developers to do that like in xbox live… isn’t the microsoft job, but they say to the developers is a must in their service… so stop to be so biatch… if you think the PSN network is perfect thats your opinion, after all it’s free, but it can be better and everybody (well almost) wants his favorite network service to be better

  • this is one of the best update so far

  • Nice update. I’m really diggin the new DMC4 Trailer and Blacksite: Area 51 is pretty nice.

  • Now that’s what I call an update! Demos, PS1 game, add ons (most free I might add), themes, and good vids. Thank you, now if only more were like this.

    Although I can’t buy anything yet, I’ve got my money ready for the PSN cards. Hopefully when you say early 08, you mean jan 08.

    Happy Holidays everyone at sony

  • SONY where’s the Killzone 2 Theme that they got in Europe 2 weeks ago?

  • @ cmardray (40): Wait wait wait. First of all, learn to type, I can barely understand what your saying. Second, Where did I say the PSN is perfect, its no where near perfect, nothing is. All I am saying is that when you say “Sony is finally learning to put demos for PSN game”, you obviously dont know anything behind that. The fact that these are very small companies making these creative original games. And they just dont have the time or man power (quote), to make demos all the time. So to say that SONY is learning is ridiculous, because it has the least to do with Sony. And keep in mind that this is free, with no ads, so they dont make money from ads or from users. So its harder to go around and create boundries of what all these small companies should do, and what they cant. I just dont think you get it quite clearly.

    Also, what dose “so stop to be so biatch” mean? I dont get it.. are you drunk?

    Anyways, I just dont think you get what I am saying, or the concept in general of what I meant. But thats really no surprise after looking at the way you type.. no offense.

  • Very nice update this week, guys. Good stuff!

  • Very nice update, off to enjoy the new goodies.

  • YES SONY YES!!!!! TRIALS OF TOPOQ!!!!!! YES!!!!!! YOUVE DONE IT, YES!!!!!!!!!!! THE PS3 IS TRULY THE FUTURE OF GAMING, I WILL BUY EVERYTHING YOU PUT OUT AS LONG AS YOU CONTINUE TO GIVE US WHAT WE ASK FOR……..THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!!!!

  • Happy Holidays SCEA and thank you very much for this massive update. A great Christmas present indeed.

    I’ve had a wonderful year with my PS3 and I’m looking forward to more awesome content in the future.

    Btw, I hope you bring Dark Mist stateside soon.
