  • When is Sprint Cars: World of Outlaws coming to the PS Store?

  • When is shadow of Destiny (psp) coming to the store.
    Also gives us some pics or video of the ps1 games if you are going release games that most of never even herd of

  • Hmm, I bought Qore episode 21, but I don’t see an option to the download the Eye of Judgement PSP demo. Anyone else have this issue?

  • Any chance were going to see the MLB 2010 demo before March 2nd?

  • You know, the Eu PSN guys actually talk to commenters and answer questions. There’s not a single comment on this update by someone from Sony. I’m starting to doubt whether or not anyone even reads these comments, It’s like they don’t even care what we have to say.

    Just in case, I guess:

    PLEASE SUPPORT YOUR FREAKIN HANDHELD SONY!!!

  • pure suck

  • It’s always great to see sales on the PS store. Hopefully titles like Savage Moon, Flower and other non-capcom titles will get price cuts again sooner than later.

    It would be nice to at least know if the lack of premium avatars and dynamic themes are due to the fact that they are going to become a part of the premium online service or some other reason. Years of waiting for new avatars and I can only pick between LittleBig Planet and MAG?!

  • @132

    bioware has really dropped the ball on the RtO DLC for PS3. they’re, of course, blaming sony’s certification process (which is complete BS since it’s pretty much the same amount of time for each console). with less than a month now until awakening, it’s pretty clear they bioware is plain old incompetent.

  • So when are we getting the Flower soundtrack? I’m saving my funds for that piece of amazement.

  • bah nothing good for PSPgo again i bought it a few months ago and its still in his box didnt see the need to use it yet really fustrating to spend 200bucks for a useless system.

  • Great update! Just the RE5 DLC for me this week, and maybe Prince of Persia Revelations.
    Keep the awesome sales coming!

  • Why is the pricing between the 360 version and PS3 version different? 560 microsoft points = $7. Quite a difference between that and $9.99.

  • I’ve been waiting for them to put on the old games I used to play as a kid. Specifically Legend of Dragoon and Megaman Legends for the PSN.

  • Yakuza demo, nice. Thank you Sega.

    And holy **** MAG avatars. I will get all three, for now 49 cents on the S.V.E.R. one. Only 24 more levels to go then I’m running the war with Valor.

  • So apparently the show doesnt want to give us a demo more the 4 days before the game comes out so dont waste your time and money making one….. whats the point of having one for 4 days anyway…also where the sounds of the show blog at…. i really hope that all these disappointments dont reflect in the game and that you are all spending your time making the real game better

  • where are the psp games huh??…what a weak update for psp!

  • Grace, again, while we appreciate the effort to get PSone games up at all…. you guys have once again uploaded three TERRIBLE games. These games were awful, if not borderline unplayable, in their PRIME. Please, stop doing this. Look at the top 10 downloads. FF8 and FF7. Get more games like THAT. Ok? Use metacritic if you have to, but please, do not keep uploading digital abortions while trying to pass them off as long lost “classics”. We know they are terrible, you know they are terrible, and you know we will not buy any of them. So what’s the point of spamming the store with them?

  • i heard that metal slug xx is gonna be on umd only is that true? and put more psp games damn it!

  • @114

    “Nice update of PSOne games, some interesting obscure games are a welcome change.”

    Is that supposed to be a joke? Obscure? Yeah, and for good reason, they were garbage games no one bought. That’s not a “good” update by any measurement.

  • With a late demo release of MLB 10 The Show, I hope it’s not an indication that San Diego Studios bit off more than they could chew this year. I’ll wait and see what early buyers say about it after its initial release before I buy it.

  • Sony your my boy don’t get me wrong, but you gotta release that mlb the show 10 demo. As a side note id like to thank the brohas makin that game because it rocks so hard every year.

  • Thank you for the additional content for AC2. I can”t wait to check it out.

  • I purchased Feb’s Qore just for the Eye of Judgment Legends demo you said was currently available for download. It is not available for download. Can you fix this? Feel like I wasted my $2.99.

  • Nice to see some new avatars. Please keep them coming.

    Any chance of seeing some team-specific MLB 10 The Show avatars? I’ve heard rumors of Home content, but I wouldn’t hesitate to drop a few bucks to make a Dodgers cap or jersey my avatar.

    I’m sure I wouldn’t be alone (maybe on the Dodgers though… haha).

  • if i beg hard enough will next weeks update have some final fantasy?

  • R.E. 5 and A.C. DLC is good (for me anyway). Some new PSP stuff would be nice, along with actual PSOne “classics”. I have a hard time NOT buying something when the new updates comeout for PS3 and PSP though.

  • It’s interesting how TMNT is on sale for 9.99 down from 19.99, when just back on the Jan. 7 store update it was on sale for 4.99 down from 9.99. I smell something foul.

  • really wish sony would atleast support the psp!

    And Socom 3 shouldnt count since it was on the store since tuesday not on thursday!

  • just want to know when more final fantasy comes out like the psp classic crisis core or even better the final fantasy games that only seem to come out for nintendo even though final fantasy is now a third party company. (or part of if your really picky.)aka ff 3,4,5,and 6.

  • Watched the first episode of the tester and found it very demonic. Not something that was advertised. You gave the contestants so little information that left them ill informed of what was going to be expected. Poor guy @ the end. Idiot or not, know one deserves this kind of saddle bagging. I’m all for a good roast, but what this episode did was just spit in face of the weak. Everyone involved in this is truly disgusting imo.

  • Lost in Nightmares is finally here! Yakuza 3 demo, and add in the sonic demo to make that much better..Btw, the tester is actually quite enjoyable not as bad as I thought it would be. Best update of 2010!

  • Assassin’s Creed 2 DLC more expensive on PSN than 360 is not cool. I bought it before I knew we were getting ripped off.

  • Um..just a humble little request. For next week, do you think I could possibly get some PS3 games for my PS3?

    If there really is “nothing” then find some indie developers and give them a chance…sell it for cheap. At least you’d be putting something out there. And who knows, you might find some real gems this way.

  • Will be fun to see the tester!

  • I think this is the best update in a while, but I think it’s consistent with Sony’s policy.

    1. Assume the die hard fan base (Which I’m no longer a part of as of the last few months) will buy whichever slop you put in front of them.

    2. Pretend that people who don’t follow lock-step just don’t “get it” and continue to ignore their dissatisfaction.

    3. If you can get around to it, alienate a rabid fan base with poor support and a thumbed nose towards consumers via high priced under supported technology. Make sure that even the people who don’t pick it up can see how little respect you have for those who did.

    The cool part of this is that Sony knows how much I’ve supported them. A quick look at the huge money I dropped on the PSN network over the first couple of years has gone to nearly zero over the last six months.

    Putting my money where my mouth is and only buying content that meets my exacting demands–seems to be the only safe way to make a point as a consumer.

    We’ve got no leverage, they know it, so enjoy your copies of Magic Carpet.

  • Please, more playstation classics that we actually LIKE, no more championship bass or any of this other tripe. Final Fantasy IX plz, and if possible Tomba?

  • tester is better then i thought itd be. the prize isnt all that great but it might be pretty good. ill check out next episode probably.

  • Any chance of getting a price drop on the Prince of Persia Epilogue? Been waiting for quite a while for a price drop. Thanks in advance for checking.

  • you know one good thing about them releasing those garbage psone “classics”. they will eventually run out of those garbage games and then wont have any excuse but to release actual classics. seriously sony should all pspgo owners just trade them in and get a ds or something. and why are downloads still the same price as retail release and they release days or weeks or months later. seriously havent u guys learned that price and time are the two of the most important factors in this industry yet. why do u think the ps3 is sooo popular all of a sudden. i’ll give u a clue price drop, price drop, price drop.

  • Does anybody else notice the complete lack of comments on this post. i mean seriously sony could at least grow some balls and just look we got nothing else yet. were working on the stuff u want but its just not ready. so what if its available on the jpn store and uk store. the american dollar is weak now so screw the us. go where the money is. so sad to see sony become the new microsoft. my loyalty and faith are almost completely gone.

    I can’t help but notice this is three dollars cheaper on the 360 – any info on price adjustment, or reasons for the discrepancy?

  • Checked again this morning and the eye of judgment legends demo is still not up. I paid for content that you should is available and it’s not; can you please address this?!

  • Swtfu hoth… Finally! Thanx a lot!!!!

  • @ Enigma777

    “The PS3-to-PS3 transfer can carry over all content, including locked saves. Yet the Backup Utility can’t!!!

    I really want to upgrade my hard drive.”

    That is exactly what the backup utility is for backing up and restore to the same PS3. It will copy the DRM saves but it will only restore them to the same PS3.

    You have nothing to lose in trying and everything to gain.

    1) Backup current drive.
    2) install new drive and format
    3) Restore backup to system

    If the backup/restore didn’t work, you can shutdown and put the original drive in and everything is back to the way it was before the upgrade.

  • Please cancel the Tester before another episode leaks out onto the internet.

    It’s embarrassing to the PlayStation community.

    It’s poorly produced. Juvenile. And just a sad reminder that Sony is always arriving late to the party.

  • wtf n0 gow3 trailer ive been waiting all week

  • I’m regretting my PSP Go, you know?

    Where are the Bleach games? where are the MegaMan games? where are the Final Fantasy games?

    You could have lots of money from me if the PSP store had a few good games…

  • very good update. i’m ready to start watching The Tester.

  • Magic Carpet – thanks! Now let’s see some more EA classics – Fade to Black is only available in EU, and Syndicate Wars isn’t available anywhere yet.

  • Oh, and Wing Commander III as well. Almost forgot.

    In fact, how about a PS Classics page where we can vote on our favorites so you can assess demand?
