  • WTF perfect weapon was 1 of the worse ps game i have played back then would need to pay me to get that game

  • Will you guys have Assassins Creed: Lineage video on the PSN?
    I really like but it just sucks having to watch it in youtube and wait for it to load and all. Is there way you guys can have on PSN so I can just download it and watch for my leisure anytime?

  • Where the heck is Blazblue Portable and Metal Slug XX? I been waiting for those games…. It might’ve been a bad idea to get the PSP go sense we have to wait longer for games….

  • Great update.
    Try get some God of War III avatars up on the store.

  • For the love of pete. Please don’t listen to these nay-sayers regarding when the update goes live. Delivering Weekly Updates of quality content is enough of a success in my opinion. I don’t care if it doesn’t come out by the minute every week.

    You guys are great, keep up the good work.

  • I don’t care for demos. They have never sold me a game. It’s should be mandatory to have a video clip under the buy now. I was not able to buy Grooving Blocks until the post here. I am unwilling to keep coming here to find out what’s going on because the customer service @ the PlayStation group is terrible. Having us do the leg work to find out what the games we purchase are is unacceptable. Great update for the games that I’ve seen, but only made possible by a very lackluster year start.

  • hay check this out ! after i got done downloading mag,secter8,and bluetoad, i checked my email and i got a weekly nintendo news thing so i pop it open and i cant believe my eyes . and you know what i saw ? FINAL FANTASY 1 NES version and FINAL FANTASY 4 also known as FINAL FANTASY 2 SNES version for the u.s… so i plug my Wii in and i got only 100 Wii point MAN if only thay release it on the psn then ill guess ill be a happy camper…. but anything goes i already download it on my japanese psn account ….. NOTE: DID YOU KNOW THAT THE JAPANESE PSN VERSION HAS 4 DISC WHILE THE US PSNVERSION HAS ONLY 3 DISC , WOW. U KNOW HOW I KNOW CUZ I DL BOTH VERSION .

  • I MEAN VERSIONS OF FFVII . MY BAD .

  • Man there are some ungrateful, spoiled, childish people here. Thanks for the great update, I know you guys are working hard. Looking forward to Hamsterball, and maybe WakeboardingHD, we shall see.

  • Blue Toad 1-3 bought. Now just waiting for Wakeboarding and some others to price drop.

  • Alien Zombie Death is not a bad mini, though the only good minis I’ve bought involve zombies.

  • I’m tired of all these crappy PSP updates! There’s such a giant backlog of older PSP games that’s missing from the PSN! Where the hell is Crisis Core? Where’s Final Fantasy Tactics?! Or SE games in general?!? What about Lumines?!

    YOU ARE THE REASON WHY THE PGPgo IS A FAILURE! You and your [DELETED] support!

  • Awful, awful update.

    It’s getting to the point where I forget it’s even worth looking.

    When is my damn “Best of PSN” Blu-Ray coming Sony? >:(

  • Please answer this I know it’s late but I just got work, Anyways Why aren’t the MAG Add-ons downloading are they not supposed to or something, Am I missing something here. The store will let me add them but it never downloads. It’s not even on my view download list! PLEASE HELP!

  • Still waiting patiently for Legend of Legaia and Gauntlet Legends to hit the PSOne classics.

  • SONY!

    yea i hate to admit it too but im regretting getting the psp go even since from day 1!! first the not getting the free game like the LBP or Assassin Creed….no metal slug XX or blazblue on psn store and the weak lame updates for awhile now for the psp go!!!! seriously what the hell is up with that huh Sony????????

  • great update…as you guys have heard it would be nice to get more psp games like blazblue…that is all…thank you

  • Are we possibly going to see any good PSOne RPGs get released soon on the psn, like Xenogears for example…which has been on the Japanese psn for quite awhile now or Vagrant Story which has been out on the European psn for a couple months..? Grandia was a great addition, but I wouldn’t mind seeing some more classic RPGs get released.

  • Great update guys, thanks!!! 8)

  • are you actually gonna charge me for 2×2 pics?? (avatars) that is just ridiculous..

    free ones from acc management.?? theres supose to be a whole batch of em every time a mayor release comes out! cmon!

  • Is it me or is the price of Section 8 a bit off? Gamestop.com has it new for pc/360 19 bucks .. walmart.com has it for pc/360 for 49.99 and 59.99

  • Who else thinks Hamsterball is gonna be a hit?

  • A price drop would be wise but idk what the heck is goin on w/ the price .. 1 place has it 19 bucks brand new ..another has it for 49-59 bucks brand new

  • Hamsterball is my new favorite PSN game. Wakeborading is solid too. Going to DL Blue Toad tomorrow if my wife still wants to play it. Fell asleep waiting for the store to update.

  • I’ve been waiting for Metal Slug for one month and Blazblue for three weeks and I’m still waiting…
    Japanese psn has them since their release… What are you doing, here at us psn?
    You really are a bunch of morons!

  • Hey how come that Batman Arkum Asylum digital comic doesn’t use the digital comics reader?

  • @162 no need to fear your daddy is here lol … check the service list or something you should have it and it runs at only 100kb so thats less then a sec and all you have to do is pop in mag and it should do a 1 or 2 sec update and waalaa your ready to go thx u very much and have a nice day ….

  • I wish Sony would start banning the accounts that complain so disrespectfully. Not the ones that complain like normal, but the ones that are saying “**** Grace Chen,” etc. All because you didn’t get a game that you wanted uploaded? It’s completely uncalled for.

  • I would definitely like to see more Kevin Butler commercials on the PSN. And I also agree with gettinmoney662. Kids crying in a toy store because they couldn’t get what they want.

  • I guess the PSN has to crash again in order for us to get a descent update.

  • Wow Rockband DLC is really lame lately. Some great new games this month though!

  • Damn, nothing worth having for the PSP this week, again. At least Europe got some nice spring sales, like Sonic Rivals for under $10.

    Not a great advertisement for the PSP Go is it? You guys are really letting the side down. I’ve pretty much binned it and gone back to my 2000 so Ic an play the latest games. I’ll be very wary of PSP2 if the Go is any indication of product support.

  • I have a follow up question to the Comment on Avatars-

    Will there be any new Avatars released for free, or will all future Avatar releases be at a cost?

  • I think everyone who is whining about the 8pm update needs to rethink their priorities. With a target audience of 18-35 it is reasonable to assume that the majority of the PS3 install base is working during the day, and likely do not get home until 6. So you have to wait 2 hours, big deal. Go spend some time with your spouse, or your kids, or if you are single and childless just do something else for 2 hours. If it bothers you that much just get in the habit of checking for updates every Friday instead of Thursday. If you get into that habit you would still be on a 7 day cycle.

  • im surprised there are no demos, especially given how many new games appeared… would like a demo of the Anarchy game.. sounds interesting…

    and Blue Toad game, is there any replayability? or is the puzzle the same each time…? they dont randomize it like the board game Clue, do they..? where it could be a different victim, crime, etc…?? just curious… wasnt really something ive read about anywhere…

  • I don’t care when the store updates. Usually have other things to do any way(playing GOW3 this week). useually wait untill I get free time on weekends. I guess some people have a life and some don’t. =)

  • Ok i’m sorry but this is getting ridiculous. i live on the east coast. How is it that i cant get an update prior to 8pm on thursday when then the ps store in europe just announced they will begin updating the store on thursday?!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how is it the us store which has been around longer and produces the updates in only one language is constantly getting later and later while the eu store which produces their updates in like 9 languages manages to shave and entire day off their update time???? seriously i’ve started waiting til friday to even check for an update. scea it really is time to tighten up ur game cuz little brother across the pond just made u look real bad.

  • also quick note everyone should definitely pass on bluetoad murder files. i mean they release all 3 episodes at once. just wait 3 or 4 weeks and they’ll bundle them all together for like 10 dollars less like they always do.

  • @169
    The Section 8 that we received includes the DLC that the 360 and pc had to buy. They also updated the matchmaking and the textures for the ps3 version.

    info from:
    http://www.cinemablend.com/games/PS3-Gamers-Rejoice-Section-8-Arrives-With-Better-Graphics-And-Gameplay-23613.html

    Anyway, I didn’t buy it due to other releases. Rush Hour, Blue Toad, Hamsterball for the nephew to play (I’m also a closet casual gamer) and MAG dlc.

    By the way, for those wondering
    Anarchy: Rush Hour is 3D and has very good gameplay for $8. I took a chance on it and don’t regret it.

    ~ N_8_

  • I beg you all to stay far far away from Rengoku: Tower Of Purgatory . It’s the worst game I’ve played on PSP. It sounds like a neat game on paper, but it’s execution is terrible.

  • You’ll “work harder to get the updates out sooner”?

    Again, the store has been in existance for three and a half years and you still can’t update it consistantly.

    Quit making excuses and promises and do it already.

    I seriously don’t get it. You knew every day PSN cards wern’t out cost you sales and you let them take 2 years plus to come out. You know updating the store late costs you sales yet you continue to update the store erratically.

    Quit making dumb decisions already.

  • BTW for those wondering Section 8 on the PS3 boasts enhanced graphics, frame rates, gameplay, and sound, as well as all the DLC from the other platforms on the disc/download.

    Sounds like a major improvement to me.

  • @24- Dude, whats your problem? its not a big deal. Better late then never. Stop being Pessimistic and appreciate the update. At least the update came. Be Patient in the future, and if you cant, just keep it to yourself. No one needs your negativity.

  • @154

    We are not better in other regions. I’m still waiting for the UMD version of BlazBlue; I can’t find a single freaking copy anywhere! Some moron seller insisted (two days ago) the thing hadn’t come out yet (…) So, I thought I could at least “get” it from the PSN as a download. Guess what.

  • >> Note: These costumes will work with Super Street Fighter IV

    SOLD! :)
    Glad to see Everyday Shooter getting a sale, since it never had a demo. And another ZEN table is appreciated.

  • Where are the GOD OF WAR III Avatars, Wallpapers, Themes etc…??????

    p.s – Canadian PSN video store some time this century?

  • As a first time PSP owner I went with the PSP Go, strangely because I assumed Sony would support it. I’m a die hard Final Fantasy fan, and I was looking forward to playing FF I & II 20th anniversary edition on my PSP Go, but it’s not up, still after all this time. Even the iphone has FF I&II, but not the PSP Go? I put my PSP away and pulled out the old Game Boy Advance, and am playing through the old FF I&II remakes from 6 years ago. My old GBA is better than the PSP Go!

  • Ooo, SF4 costume pack for half price. Very tempted.

    Also, to those who are whining about late updates on the PSN… Seriously? You’re upset about a release online that got delayed a bit? I fear for our future…
