Glad to see Lunar out for Go users, though I’ll be getting the UMD special edition as it’s a lot more value for a little extra cash.
I’d like to echo the thoughts of other Go users – we paid a premium for the hardware so that you could lock us into one distribution channel devoid of piracy, why are we now being punished with inexplicable and inexscusable high pricing? Are we just being forced to cover the cost of entry for pirates now?
It’s bad enough bailing out the banks, we can’t afford to cover Sony’s mistakes as well – I’m afraid Sony isn’t “too big to fail”. Sort it out please, or we’ll all vote with our wallets and go elsewhere.
@250
totally agreed..
I’m back to my PSP 1000. with a lot of free games.
wow thats awesome news…great !!

Lunar definitely a surprise decent job.
For those that still do not have VS or the various old squaresoft titles. Love that i can just slide in the disc whether chrono cross/xenogears/FF/VS/PE. Wouldn’t mind seeing an upgraded version of einhander for online multiplay and ehrgeiz. Two rather fun games just need a hint of an upgrade.
Give us some upgrades to some games that were great but not rpgs (got the entire collection of rpgs lol). Those that do not have the original of the rpgs clearly did not appreciate it. I’d take a jet moto upgrade and maybe a rerelease of battle arena toshiden (spelled wrong i know lol)
Am I missing something with this update?
Did Metal Slug XX get released on the Network? I couldn’t find it. Am I blind?
I know it’s out on UMD, but I have a Go….and I totally want this game.
More avatars please! I need a GOW3 or a Critter Crunch or a Batman avatar! Please sell me some avatars!
Test… why am I Sumoomoo? Let’s see, they’re level 12, 889 trophies.. not bad, Sumoomoo! Sorry I’m logged in as you!
Square-Enix A Just cause demo and no FFXIII Demo WTF. Updates wasn’t that bad could have been better. Why can’t we use trophys as Avatars? =)
The “dynamic” swuimsuit theme is not dynamic at all, I want my money back, just some backgrounds that change every minute or so, don’t buy it guys, it’s a rip off.
Gameplay for thoses Minis game made by Sony?
Ps one classic?
Hey Grace,
Would you mind answering some legitimate questions for once? I mean you hardly ever post replies. Why isn’t my Dante’s Inferno redeem code working? I notice you guys weere quick to fix the Heavy Rain issue but yet you ignore Dante’s Inferno. When can I expect a fix for this?
Thanks
Hi Grace. I tried downloading PULSE 7/16 Edition (HD 1080) but instead of the episode, a ModNation Racers trailer is being downloaded. Please have it corrected. Thanks!
Hello Grace,
First, I would like to say that the updates have been pretty good for the last few weeks. Certainly there are titles that I would like to see added, but I think the existing content is good enough for now.
The problem is that there are a whole bunch of games that I would like to buy, but I can’t. I can’t buy them because I refuse to pay more for a digital download, then a PSP3000 owner pays for a UMD. Want some examples: Dissidia, Persona 3, Resistance: Retribution, Class of Heroes, Hot Shots Golf 2. All of these titles are $10 or $20 more expensive than their UMD counterparts. Is this how Sony rewards consumers who took a risk on the PSPGo? Really? It is no surprise that the best selling games are PSOne Final Fantasy titles while the titles above never rank in the top 10.
continued…
My family’s first color TV was a Sony and in the 1980’s you had to have a Sony Walkman. For a generation, Sony has been synonymous with high quality. So, what’s happened? Why is Sony making obvious mistakes with the PSN?
I expected quality when I purchased the Go, and I admit that the system is very high quality. What is not high quality is the lack of support. I know most PSP3000 owners will say “you should have researched the PSPGo”. I did. And nowhere did anyone state that Sony would support the Go in a half-baked way. I assumed (because Sony has always been high quality) that new releases would be on the Go. Now there are rumors that Kingdom Hearts will not be on the Go. Not having the most anticipated game available on the Go should have been reason enough for Sony to not release the system. The amount of bad will Go owners will have will do more damage than good to your business model. It’s very sad because the Sony name used to mean so much more.
And for the love of God, please fix the Grand Theft Auto games. What kind of company keeps selling a product that they know is defective. They are consistently in your top 10 and they don’t work.
And would it kill Sony to have someone answer the blog. That is what a blog is for.
I’ve seen a lot of once great companies crumble and it looks a lot like what is going on here. It just seems like Sony has given up.
I really would not be surprised to hear that Sony is going to dump their systems and just produce games for the Wii or the XBOX.
I will tell you all why sony devs dont reply to alot , i wouldnt reply to alot either, i cant believe how many people whine complain moan yell threaten sony every week, they are probably as tired of reading the bs as i am, way to many impatient people out there, sony does a great job and has since i owned my ps3. grow up people and be happy with what ya get. they cant please everyone 100% of the time. and do thier best.
do u think psn will ever have skip bo om the store
More Avatars would be nice…Batman, Kratos, MLB Teams, Bloody Origami!!
It’s a shame PSP games don’t come down in price on the PSN like they do in retail, you’d kind of think with the lower overhead and expenses, they would, but I get you have to support your retail partners. Oh well. MLB The Show, LBP, and Dante’s Inferno will have to wait until you guys decide to do a pricedrop, or I elect to buy the UMD.
still having problems on hr dlc
Where the heck is Qore?
can some be my friend plz…..
Just Cause 2 demo is acting weird–have to push circle and square together to select options that would normally require only circle (I have a Japanese PS3). Will redownloading fix the problem?
Tester ep 3 was actually pretty funny. and Patchwork heroes is fun
circle and X I mean, not square.
Good update
what no PSOne Classics this week? we need some more good ones such as: Final Fantasy IX, Final Fantasy Anthology, Final Fantasy Chronicles, Final Fantasy Origins, Legend of Dragoon, Xenogears, Driver, Driver 2, Parasite Eve, Parasite Eve 2, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2, Gran Turismo, Gran Turismo 2, Policenauts, Crash Team Racing, Soul Blade, Digimon World, Mega Man Legends, Mega Man Legends 2, The Misadventures of Tron Bonne, Tekken 3, Bushido Blade, Bushido Blade 2, Chrono Cross, Ehrgeiz, Legend of Legaia, Street Sk8er, Street Sk8er 2, Felony 11-79. most of these games you can only find used or off of ebay. if you put these on the store you would put more money in your pocket.
i dont have ps3 i wish i had 1
Will the day come when we can see the PSOne Classic Vandal Hearts in the PSN store????
it would be good if u could add friends even if you didnt have a ps3 and if you could play online for free on psn on psp and if you could download ad hoc party without ps3
playstation.com rock
this is kinda kool
thanks for the info
okay, maybe i’m really blind, but i cannot seem to be able to find this supposed penny arcade bundle in the store. possibly because i have the first one already and maybe it’s not letting me see it? i’ve searched everywhere i can think of – bundles, new releases, special offers…. it’s nowhere.
you need to start bringing all the old games from the arcade ( like mortal kombat 3 & tekken 3 ) plus cheaper mini games.a gameshark type program for the ps1 games. A way to find old game saves for the ps1 games. & what is truly sad, america is the biggest game market on earth but we have the least amount of games in psn store!!! I can’t speak for everyone but I’m tired of the small selection games!!! a trade in system would be great because a game with no trade value is worthless after it’s beat!!! here is a great idea, a ps3 program that allows you to make your own mini games & share them, that would be worth a monthly fee!!! I wll leave this comment by naming a few more games that would be great to have again, CONTRA, NINJA GAIDEN ORIGINAL TRIOGY, mike tyson’s punch, mortal kombat, sonic the hedgehog triogy, rad racer, killer instinct, silent scope, streets of rage triogy, castlevania triogy, silent hill 2, resident evil-code veronica, final fantasy 1-8, THE LEGEND OF DRAGOON!!! your store needs more games, I hope you listen to me because they don’t need to old playstation games for us to buy them!!!
wheres todays update….
I download the PS3 addons for MLB 2010 the Show, (funds and training points. I used it once then decide to create a new RTTS character I haven’t checked if the 20 million is with my franchise team yet. However, when I go to redownload those two addons for MLB 2010 the Show they are not listed in download history also there is a little blue bag next to the icon in the playstaion store?? I have tried 8 times to get these files each time they charge me anothe $0.99 and I have yet to see the addons althoygh they keep charging me? Anyone have an idea whats going on here?
