Awesome update!
cool. plenty of add ons for games i have and Prince of Persia will be a must have.
great update.
Aww why didn’t NA get the SVR09 demo?
Oh well, good update anyway.
wow! it was updated TODAY! MIRACULOUS!
Nothing for the PSP? Or are we going to be seeing separate updates now that it gets it’s own store?
$4.99 for Yoda? Seems steep. Awesome update overall, though.
Aaaaawww. Nothing for the PSP this week huh?
I demand a LBP demo for the week and a half delay…
BAH! Europe gets the WWE demo! if we North American’s want it we have to put down a deposit at Gamestop! BAH HUMBUG!
Lame!!!
Good update
i dont c anythin new in the store
@Eric or any other firmware developers
Don’t fear redesigning the in-game xmb to reduce the amount of memory it uses in order to allow for in-game access to music, cross game invites, and persistent voice chat for all ps3 games.
I have 3 suggestions.
1. Remove the video and playstation strore categories. The 360 does not allow its users to play videos or visit the xbox live marketplace while playing a game, so you have no threat from the competition there. Remove items that you can’t and will never be able to access while playing a game. This action would result in the following categories being left in the in-game xmb: Users, Settings, Photo, Music, Game, Network, & Friends.
In the Settings section, only Network Settings and Accessory Settings would be available.
In the Photo section, only the photo thumbnails would be available.
In the Music section, only the stored playlists and non-playlist music tracks would be available.
In the Game section, everything would be left as it is.
In the Network section, only Remote Play and download management would be available.
The Friends section would be left as it is.
Hopefully this will reduce the amount of memory that the in-game xmb uses so that in-game access to music can be a system wide feature.
2. The other suggestion would be to change how the in-game xmb behaves. Make it where only the horizontal categories are displayed with none of the vertical categories displayed. To access the vertical categories you must use the x button to access it. Once accessed the horizontal categories would go away.
3. A final suggestion would be to combine the 1st 2 suggestions.
Remember, only do this if and only if it will enable in-game access to music, cross game invites, and persistent voice chat for all ps3 games, especially in-game access to music for all ps3 games.
I thought we would have a RESISTANCE 2 PUBLIC DEMO on the playstation store today…like no more beta, but a demo available to everyone just like any other demo
Good Update. Was expecting some more….
Any LBP Videos?
thanks for the update. I’ll be picking the Penny Arcade tingo ’cause it looks fun. What about Prince of Persia, is it worth the money ? and when is the Rock Band’s tsunami of song going to end lool ????
i have to say i’m a bit saddened and surprise about the price for Yoda in SC4…5 bucks for such a tiny person is a bit overpriced i think… anyway, thanks for the support Sony
WE NEED MULTIPLE DATA ALBUM EDIT!!!
WE NEED IN-GAME ACCESS TO MUSIC FOR ALL PS3 GAMES!!!
WE NEED MULTIPLE DATA ALBUM EDIT!!!
WE NEED IN-GAME ACCESS TO MUSIC FOR ALL PS3 GAMES!!!
Looking forward to playing the Valkyria Chronicles demo!
Nice update but when are we going to see the PS1 classic Rainbow Six on the US PSN?
Prince of persia and Penny arcade look interesting but i dont know if i will like them, i would have loved a demo to try them out, usually im buying them without trying but now that MANY full games are coming out like 3 only next tuesday, it makes me hesitate
Btw i dont know what they are thinking loll 4.99$ for yoda lolll, i dont think Soul calibour owners will buy it lol
Not a bad update, but nothing i want either.
oh well, only 7 days til next week :p
YAY!! Found my passwords again!
What? No Smackdown vs RAW 2009 demo? How come NA didn’t get it?
Also, I agree that we should get a LittleBigPlanet demo since it got pushed back.
I can’t say I’m really excited about anything in this update. I’ll just wait for next week when LBP comes out and the PJ Monsters Patch is available (hopefully).
I love this update :D I’m gonna get POP Classic ;) I’ve been waiting so long for this game on ps3. I’m just sad that it does not support trophies :(
Not bad.
I am gonna get the POP
My store hasn’t updated yet. Whats goin ON?!
Ummm… where is it? I’m looking right at the store right now, and I’m not seeing those Nirvana Rock Band tracks.
Are you people incompetent? When you say you’re going to do something, try actually doing it.
I will never ever buy an extra character for 5$…what are you thinking sony????
But good update i guess…
C:\> cd prince
C:\prince> prince megahit
@Lowe0
Takes a second to show up. Don’t be a jackass.
NICE UPDATE!!!
POP CLASSIC ON USA STORE
WWE DEMO ON EU STORE!!
Nice!!
By the way.. contact EIDOS to exclusives leves and else to Tomb Raider.. They answer SONY don’t contact they department and Microsoft did it…
:>
What time does this normally update? Im looking at a screen with old stuff.
Not a bad update kkthxbi LOL!
@30
No Sony. What are you thinking Namco?
$5 pesos for something that should have being in the game in the first place? talk about highway robbery.
wow lowe0 welcome to the ps blog where the post is always BEFORE the actual update.
Way to be an idiot…
No PSP love? what gives?!?
So, the elusive Soldner-X still evades me.
Hey Sony, Qore annual subscriber here…where the heck is my R2 Beta code that was…PROMISED DAY OF THE BETA…thanks
Oh the signs of pitiful helpless giant.
Yeah, the yoda’s price is just sick.
thats all 4 the UK store
Why is there no updates for the psp store? You are going to make a lot of people angry. Like me. >:(
Oh to the firmware developers, ignore all the suggestions made in #13, please. In-game music is not an important feature. Especially not important enough to gimp all the other categories to support it. Losing the video section? How ridiculous. Thanks.
If I do have a suggestion, would it be possible to just make a separate PSP section of the store, the way video is done? As someone who doesn’t own a PSP, I often find myself skipping through a lot of entries to get to what I am looking for. PSP connectivity is a great feature, but when it comes to the Playstation Store, I’d like to only see games for the system I own on it. Just simply putting PSP games behind a separate tab would make everyone happy.
Please make trophies and custom soundtracks mandertroy to ps3 games starting 2009 and the able to sign in 2 psn ids one the sametime and add mortal kombat trilogy and tekken 3 on psn tekken dr and mortal kombat 2 sold well on psn
Nice update.
any chances for a prince of persia classic demo?
No capcom! I refuse to be nickel-and-dimed for your cr@p. MM9 was a pretty good retro game, but come on. Charging for pidly little stuff that could have just as easily been included in the full game? And no trophies? And then further insulting us with premium themes?!!
I’ll say it again, game related themes should stay free!
In other news, where’s the psp love? Prince of persia looks pretty cool. Someone buy it and tell me if it’s any good.
does prince have trophies?
