  • ASTRO TRIPPER; I used to play the original version of this game about 6 years ago. It was called SPACE TRIPPER. I definately reccomend buying it. Haha I used to even play this with a dualshock usb converter.

  • Its amazing how much Sony TOTALLY OUTRIGHT ignores the PSONE games. 28 total in, what 3 years almost? Thats totally unacceptable.

    Also, how do we not have an official LittleBigPlanet theme? Its one of SONY’s prize games, and there is no theme. Goes to show how well marketing is going at SONY.

  • An excellent week for demos for both PS3 & PSP. Thanks for that.

    I am wondering about the abscences of the St. Paddy’s costume for LBP & the new tower defense FF game.

    $5/car for Burnout is a little steep for me. I might pick up the Legendary Cars pack at some point, but will more likely bite on the Island expansion, and perhaps pursuit mode … depending on pricing.

  • The only thing i cared to see was Crystal Defenders, way to ruin Christmas.. I’d blame it on Squeenix but it looks like JPN, HK, and EUR all go it..

  • So until then i guess my PS3 will continue to get dusty, thank God for a PSP.

  • Hey! Where’s my:

    LPB St. Paddy’s Day get up?
    Suikoden 2?
    Valkyria Chronicles DLC?

    And how about Demon’s Souls to the US please? The game is sold out in the asian import stores! Come on!

  • Nice update! Plenty of demos, videos, & DLC!!!!! Keep it comin!

  • where’s the LBP St. Patrick’s Day leprechaun that was due out today that the Euro PSN store got?

  • its an awesome update. but what happened with the south central update from midnight club los angeles???

  • Great update! Thanks SONY!

  • Nice! Was waiting for Wheelman

  • Hey Jeff, you know on PSN it says for episode 10 of qore I get the Bowling game.. It doesnt say I need to be a yearly subscriber. Maybe it should be more clear.

    Also I am wondering about QORE, if I get the annual thing, do I get the next 24 episodes or just the rest of the episodes until the end of the QORE year?

  • No new Playstation games, still no access to videos without either a PC or PS3, lame. Another week down, hopefully another week closer to being able to nab videos from my PSP.

  • Chronicles of Riddick, Wheelman, and Legends of Wrestlemania make up for the decent update. I was expecting St. Patricks Day DLC for LBP but maybe cause next week? Still where are the PS1 games? Would of been nice to see any PS1 game show up on PSN. Also when can we see Killzone DLC for LBP? I hope it comes out next week. Also does Sony have any plans to put more PSP games on PSN? I could see you guys/gals putting God of War Chain of Olympus, even Daxter since they are old games plus third party games like Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles and Mega Man Power Up, Capcom Classic Collection, Mega Man X Maverick, etc. and making alot of money. Keep up the good work.

  • Nice update I loved the Burnout Paradise Boost Specials add-on.
    I am going to get all the demos for this week,and of course QORE ep 10.

    Nice update.

  • Why no love for the Mountaineers?? Gimme a WVU theme and I WILL BUY!

  • awesome! love the demos guys ! … dont forget about them demos!! i’ll try them after i finish kz2 but im gonna hit up the midnight launch for RE5 in about an hr and a half!

    now if i could just convince GG to bring back bots in kz2 and allow the badge system in skirmish for my cousin and my bro that dont have internet access at the moment.. due to bills

  • awesome update, thanx

  • Where is the MagicBall expansion?

  • I purchased $26 worth of content from the Store today. Keep up the great work.

  • Why isn’t Crystal Defenders up? Xbox Live Arcade got it yesterday, as did the Japanese Playstation Store. There’s NO EXCUSE why we don’t have it.

    And it’s been a good two weeks since Sony promised increased PS1 download support, but we still haven’t gotten a single title THIS YEAR? What’s the freaking holdup?

    Like some others have said, we’re just waiting to give you our money, but you just don’t seem to want it! For a company that people say only cares about the $$$, you sure aren’t proving it by selling stuff people actually WANT!

  • Love the update. My ps3 is going to be busy today downloading all the demos.

  • SONY for once, listen to your fans, and give us some damn LBP Kill zone 2 characters, seriously, you don’t understand how t ouse Kill zone 2 as your advantage?!?! you guys are pissing me off, but i was pissed off before this so this just got me angrier, seriously Sony, Kill zone 2 is like Master Chief, use it as your damn advantage for merchandise purposes

  • Great update!

  • No word from Sony!!!

  • I played that Red Baron demo and I KNOW that game is not for me. o.o

    I am going to have to check youtube to see if I might like Astro Tripper. If any gets it please let me know what the game is like.

  • I just played the Red Baron demo and it is pretty good. Definitely worth $10. It has old graphics but the Sixaxis controls work really good. They perfect for flying a plane.

  • can we get a USC theme already? although i wouldn’t be surprised if we were holding that up lol. SC is crazy about their branding.

  • Grace Chen never responds to comments on the PS store releases. Odd.

  • I know nobody cares. But when will the Sonic Unleashed DLC come out?

  • @T3L3PR00F

    Killzone 2 themed LBP DLC is coming out soon.

  • Where’s my Red Sox theme?

  • Is there a reason that the US didn’t get the leprechaun LBP costume?? This saddens me :(

  • US will get the leprechaun costume on the 17th.

  • LAME!!!! No crystal Defenders or Peggle. Guess I’ll go play my xbox more this week.

  • Virginia Tech PS3 theme please!!!

  • guys those ps1 games need to be licensed and upgraded.that that,like ryplies :beliee it or not, takes TIME. yes theyhave the tools to make it but they dont have the microsoft money to pay developers to bring these games back from the dead!..Just njoy all the other great looking games u have for the ps3 or ps2..time will fly and when u least expect it BAM u will have a Ps1 game u can play ..for a day or two and then delete it..cuz u notice that they look horrible..:p

  • We want PS1 Classics!! Like Chrono Cross!!

  • @122..actually MAasterChief is like Solid Snake..a true soldier! or Patriot or OLDassBADass ;)..anywho i understand your anger dude..but relax..they probably making a LEVEL for it too..;) Sony LOVES to surprise US..havent u noticed..just that we gotta be patient if we want it to be PERFECT..unlike SOCOM CONFRONTATION…honestly i didnt mind that they brought it out b4 it was PERFECTED but they can still and WILL make it up to us..if not theres always MAG..:p…SO again BE PATIENT..SONY will make all your LBP dreams come true SOON…LOL

  • (This post ONLY refers to the “PlayStation Store for PSP” update. Since I don’t own a PS3, I won’t comment on that system’s PS Store updates.)

    Though this week’s PS Store for PSP update doesn’t interest me at all, it’s certainly better than NOT getting an update. Thanks nonetheless.

  • WOW.

    Legends of Wrestlemania is embarrassingly bad.

    Someone needs to march over to the THQ headquarters and flip their calendar forward from 1997.

  • Thanks for all the PSP love! I already had the R:R demo but it’s nice to see what others think about it now. On top of that good job for the more free themes, and items, and thanks for the notice on the Patapon video issue!

  • Wow, that’s a lot of demos.

    Anyone else notice that their system clocks, when set to update via Internet, haven’t updated for the time change yet?

  • Nice update. I didn’t get to log onto the store last night because I wasn’t home, haha.

    You guys are killing me though. BYU theme? But no University of Oregon theme? You’re killing me, smalls! Still a great update. I’ll definitely buy the theme for my brother. He’s a Cougars fan. :)

    Gotta love PSN :) Keep up ’em great updates!

    I might have to get Hot Shots Golf now. I mean, Sackboy as a usable character sounds so cool! He’s everywhere now. :) As well he should be.

  • “**Due to a technical issue, the Patapon 2 PSP trailer has been removed from this week’s Store Update. We apologize for any inconvenience.”

    Do you know if those of us that pre-ordered can still use our codes for the demo today?

  • Sony your taken two and 1/2 YEARS to release WipEout Pulse DLC and I’m NOT waiting till the END of this planet just to find out if it will ever be released (if there is an end). Europeans are very lucky to even be able to purchase that exclusive, and we Americans have to sit out on this offer just because of Playstation Store Country restrictions.

  • Buzz Junior Jungle Party is a PS2 game I guess thats proof that the PS3 has a PS2 emulator built in and Sony did lie to us all and all PS3’s can play PS2 games they just disabled the feature.

  • Good update! Might have to pick up a copy of HSG when the price drops… Sackboy looks awesome! Also looking at the “Losing My Religion” song for Rock Band!

    Looking forward to getting the Toronto Blue Jays theme… hopefully it’s coming soon!

  • did nobody notice the retribution demo?!? excellent update

  • By “Retribution demo”, do you mean the Syphon-Filter-with-auto-aim demo?
