What happened to Jet Moto 3 that was released on February 21, 2008?
See what I did there with the First?
Great update! i downloaded the theme right away :P
Great update since we get the home theme.
Question: Will the beta be locked to one user and does it matter when you download it?
when is Playstation Home coming out?
nice update though
Excellent update! Sony has really been coming through these last few weeks!
No playable Demo or PSN game?
:(
I’m goin bonkers for home, will download qore and gh3 tracks as well, woooooh!!!
Why do I keep getting a message that says I am posting messages too quickly? Is this board broken?
Really Nice Update. Already getting Qore. keep it up Sony. Home Beta Opportunity as well is awesome.
Nice big update guys already D/led my theme. Great work. Question tho. if we are picked for the beta will we be contacted thru our email?
:( will it ruin our chances to get into the beta if we aren’t one of the first people?
I’ve got to work, but I will gladly fake sick if its an issue.
@11 no that happened to me as well it hink we were all hitting submit at the same time lol. GREAT JOB EVERYONE LOL.
well, too bad about no new demos, but i know i’m gonna be DLing that theme!
Home beta here i come!
too bad about baiting people to buy Qore with the R2 beta..that’s some sheisty marketing work there..
anyway,
thanks for the update!
@11
Same here
is there something wrong with the blog?
Good update, with Eden and the new trophies for Uncharted, I’m more than busy with gaming goodness right now. Glad to have the Home theme and the opportunity to get into the beta this week!
Thanks Sony PS3 Team!
Qore plus Home theme=good update! :)
I’m soooo happy System Of A Down got on here before Rock Band 2!
And this was a pretty good store update!
Yay, another Qore!
:)
I find it odd that Snakeball is being considered new and the add on is being considered new as well. It’s been on the store since before the end of 07. The add-on content was there for awhile too.
Is it because people were unable to figure out that you can purchase the game within the demo and the add-on within a game menu?
The full Game and the Add-On Expansion are in the \”New\” section as they are both technically new to the Store, having both previously only been available through the In-Game Store.
Hope this clears up any confusion people may have had.
