  • You sure took your time with BlazBlue, didn’t you?

    Now, for Metal Slug XX… right?

  • [DELETED] update I was hoping for a demo or something, but this is the worst update I’ve seen so far! And the firmware update 3.21 REMOVED features. SONY, are you working hard, or hardly working?

  • thanks for the quicker update this week, i like

  • Any store update with Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce Quests are good in my book…

    Thanks! SONY ROCKS!

  • i wana know if mushroom wars is good cuzz im planning to get it and how come the new update keep freezing mai ps3 i have to reboot my router and ps3 to get it to work and can you get me the info on FF9 cuz i thought it was comeing this week as said from se its confirm for release on psn beside can you give me a price on mw2 map pack but looking 4ward to mushroom wars and please can we get a retailed version of records like the xbox thats comeing out and a price cut on unlimited code thx again and F GEOHOT FOR THIS DUMB PS3 UPDATE

  • dang. you people who complain about stupid crap like the other os being taken away, your stupid. i bet non of you used the other os feature. ive had my ps3 for 2 years and i never touched it. dang stop complaining. sony probably works harder than you think and a lot of you are stubborn spoiled babies. dang. this is a good update and sony hasn’t stole anything from any of you. now imma download some stuff from this very good update and you just relax.

  • weak update Sony…

    you got some amazing games in PSP back catalog, is it so hard to make some legal digital version of your games?

    Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception?
    Final Fantasy 7 : Crisis Core?
    Final Fantasy : War of the Lions?
    Star Ocean games?

    c’mon already…..

  • So we never got a real response from Sony regarding if the leap year bug that killed our older PS3s for a day is going to happen again or not. Is this going to happen again in another few years? No firmware update addressing this was released.

    Between the leap year bug and the removal of the Other OS install, I’m pretty unhappy right now.

  • Grace and Create Studios,

    Thanks so much for the sales! I’m picking up a couple of games today. Good stuff! Good job with Eye of Indra bundle too!

    I’d love to see a demo for Magic Orbz, Hamsterball, and PixelJunk Shooter, and FF XIII.

    I’m quite happy with todays update!

    Thanks for the great sales! Have a great weekend!

  • Is the theme for 3D Dot Game Heroes animated or regular?

  • Lame Updates After Another & Another.. Ill Just Get Back To Mw2 Then. And That 3.21 Update, is a FAIL!

  • when do the people that already purchased the eye of hydra stuff for uncharted 2 get there voucher in there email cuz im waiting for that

  • Please give us Playstation 1 games that we actually want.

    Like:

    Team Buddies
    Crash Team Racing
    Mortal Kombat Trilogy
    Marvel vs Capcom
    Street Fighter Alpha 3

  • Good week on the Spring Fever deals, since both Echochrome and Echoshift seem to be good puzzle games.:) I probably end up getting Echoshift.

  • The first poster had a question I would like answered as well. Is the US getting the same PSP sale as EU? I might actually get some games and you know… give you money if you offered such a great sale as theirs. To anybody curious as to what I’m talking about, just refer to the EU blog and check out their PSP Favourites sale. It seriously is killer.

  • The new Qore episode is not on the Canadian PSN Store :(

  • Wow! Best sale yet… I see echoshift, Digger HD, Mushroom Wars & Smash Cars as games I have to purchase now. I already own Cuboid & Magic Orbz.., excellent games! Guess my regular $20 PSN card each payday won’t quite cover it this time. :)

  • I can’t find anything of interest in this update, therefore this update is terrible.

    *insert some complaint about how much Sony sucks here*

  • The sales are a good deal. Keep it up.

  • megaman 8 would be nice as a ps1 classic.

  • kchuk how about you think about others too. Think about the security risk of having hacked ps3’s running on the psn when the ps3 contains personal information like credit card numbers of its users. I am glad they went this route to protect the many rather than please the few.

  • If you want PS1 and PSP games from third parties on PSN, go write the third parties in question. Sony doesn’t decided whether or not to put them on PSN, the third parties do.

  • epiphaniesarefun

    :( where is mimana iyar chronicle? you have failed me aksys games…

  • Wheres Lost And Damned?! (GTAIV DLC that we were promised from Rockstar Games)

  • Good update Sony, i like it, thanks

  • @82

    Of that one percent, how many people actually care enough about the Other OS enought that they refuse to do business with Sony? I’m pretty sure most of those people bought the system for, you know, the games, the quality hardware, and the free online play, not some secondary feature that works better on the PC they undoubtedly own.

  • @ 73

    Yes it is

  • @84

    Delayed two weeks, sadly. Can’t wait to get my hands on those episodes.

  • The problem is the vulernability isn’t in the ps3s that people hack themselves it is in the otherOS ps3s that people were using with no ill intentions. Those ps3s can be taken advantage of and those machines still carry the users personal info regardless of the intentions of the user.

  • Why the hell are the new Dragon Age items free in Europe, but 3 dollars here?

  • As a PSPgo owner, the lack of support from you guys is really disheartening. WHERE THE HELL IS CRISIS CORE?!?!?!

  • Saw the FREE Dragon Age DLC on the EU store and planned on downloading it when US store got it, saw it wasn’t free for us so I guess I won’t be. Thanks EA!

  • Wanted to buy digger HD, but then again it won’t let me unless I agree to send my Ubuntu install with Ext4 to oblivion… Oh well, guess I saved five bucks :-p maybe first of a big, long string of savings, who knows. Happy with what you’ve accomplished, Sony?

  • Nice update. I know many PS3 fans that have waited for the Dragon Age DLC, and more PSP game DLC. So this is great. Also the PSone Classic is a nice bonus!

  • The PSOne classic is an April Fool’s joke, right? I thought a classic in the entertainment world meant an older piece that was loved by many. I doubt some crappy 4×4 game is going to sell as well as Final Fantasy 9, Chrono Cross, Xenogears, or some of the other actual blockbusters on the PSOne.

    We want good PSOne games.

  • So what do i do about my qore subscription since i cant download the newest episode as i am ILLEGALLY being blocked from accessing the psn due to my unwillingness to update my firmware? can i get a refund?

  • I thought the Eye of Indra complete pack was free for those who purchased them all separately?

    Doesn’t appear to be the case, unless vouchers are to be mailed out?

  • The Euro store had a much better day. Free DLC for Dragon Age and a half price sale for some PSP games.

  • Why do we keep getting crap old PlayStation 1 games? About the only thing worth buying in the store is the Final Fantasies. =(

    Why isn’t the Dragon Age stuff free? The UK got it for free.

    I’m also still annoyed that I have to wait an extra week to get the Uncharted skins. Its an insult to those of us that are diehard Uncharted fans who bought the Eye of Indra comics several months ago. -_-

  • Why doesn’t America get the LBP PSP special (all the PSP specials, for that matter)? I’m not paying $40 when the other countries are only paying half of that.

  • Oh well, what do you expect, April is going to be a dry month for games — so no demos. I did, however, pick up fallout 3 online at Walmart for $16.50 new so that will keep me busy for a while:)

    I just have to finish GOW3 first…

  • Yes!!!!! now u r starting 2 make me happy sony. keyword is starting…. Thanks grace! i really wanted blazblue foor my pspgo. i’ve waited and waited… so i will b gettin that and the eye of judgement pack and the little big planet dlc for psp. This is what the consumers want. so please continue 2 give us what we want… Put up crisis core for a start.. don’t u guys want our money???? Oh and marvel vs. capcom bloody roar 2 and mortal kombat trilogy!!

  • @kchuk ? Wha??? I am pissed, I have not updated, I DO USE THE FEATURE, I have been ranting for days. I’m a little unsure as to how you are confused about that.

  • FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    BLAZBLUE HAS COME TO P-S-N!!!!!!

    And for a lower price than the stores.

    Thanks guys for acting on our request.

    PSPGo, AWAYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • How do you report offensive posts to the blog. I’d like to see somebody kicked/banned or their comments for very racial behavior.

  • Maybe I misunderstood something, but didn’t you say that eyeryone who already bought all the Eye of Indra Episodes will also get the two character skins?

    Oh, and thanks for the Resistance 3 Beta invitation. It’s also cool to talk with some friends that are playing KZ3 or the GTA IV Add-Ons or the new MW2 Maps; XGameChat rocks!! The PS+ subscription was worth every cent of the 55$ a year.
    But sometimes my system crashes when im using Linux, can you help me with that? Perhaps you’ll find a solution that excludes me from the whole PSN if I wanna keep on using Linux, sounds AMAZING, uh. Any chance to get an update for that?

    ————————————–

    I hate April 1st…

    Seriously, can you help me with the U2 thing??

  • bad update as usual. No more other os as well. Way to go gentleman.
    I won’t update. There are enough ways of using PSN via proxies or Packet injection.
    Sony has lost another fan.

  • Thank you for releasing one of the first game i bought when i got my PlayStation..TNN Motorsports Hardcore 4×4 is AWESOME

  • Another thing I have to add:

    I totally love PlayStation’s first and second party developers. Too bad they are bound to Sony’s terrible decisions about securing hardware devices.

  • @KingSilas

    If you got the Eye of Indra Episodes, you’re supposed to be getting a code in the email for the skins. This is supposed to happen soon. In a previous blog they said it would be a week from today.

    But yeah..I’m like you. Waiting to see if I actually get them. I hope Sony actually delivers this time. Otherwise I dont know where we’ll go for help. They dont read this blog and dealign with their support is a nightmare. =(
