Thanks for the early update!!
TENKAICHI TAG TEAM PSN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for another week of great updates :)
Wow, haven’t seen an update this early in awhile! Thanks :)
Wow, an update on time!!!
I really want Dead Nation, but I think I’ll wait for an inevitable sale. Super Stardust is still one of the best PSN games.
Nice early update. Hope that Lara Croft DLC has trophies. Grace, when can we expect the Burn Zombie Burn item for PS Home from the 10/6 blog?
nice to see it early
This is one of the worst plus update months ever, no DLC, no Avatars and no Qore.
Awesome! PLEASE KEEP THAT UP! Regardless if you have tons of contents in your hands every Tuesdays – JUST PLEASE DO EARLY STORE UPDATES LIKE YOU DID TODAY!
No Dead Nation DEMO, No Purchase!!
Early Updates for the win! Keep them coming!

3 strikes and you’re out? Not any longer. I’m upping the ante seeing as how some Neo Geo games have actually been ESRB rated. And yet they linger unreleased~
Now of course this week could never live up to the previous one so I won’t hold that against this update. However, day of all days I actually get a PSP Go and what do I find? No new PSP games added? Not even a Minis? No PS1 to be found either. Sad, so sad. Now I know how many here have felt for ages! :p
The sales/pricedrops aren’t especially great aside from Uno for a dollar? Wow. If it weren’t made by gameloft I’d have considered getting it! There’s the usual DLC and surprisingly hardly any game videos. Well, can’t win ’em all. It was nice to have the store updated so early!
1 out of 5 stars for this week after purse emptying weeks update.
1 mini for plus subscribers? Really? GTFO, who do i talk to about a refund?
wow cant go wrong with UNO! thats like $6 savings!
9# Dead nation does not need a demo just look at reviews it gets 10/10!!!!!
I’ve been waiting for Dead Nation for a long time, so glad to see it released finally!
Time to play dead nation for a couple hours. I wish I could play more but I got a 4-page paper on tax cuts that needs to be done by tomorrow night :(
very nice, nice to have the update early.
thanx grace!
What a sad update for Plus subscribers. A mini, a dynamic PS ad, and a theme I could just as easily make on my own.
Really Sony, would it kill you to give us a free map pack for Killzone 2 or something? Europe got $50 worth of Fallout 3 DLC free. We get squat.
best early update EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Downloading Dead Nation RIGHT NOW!!!!!
SWEET. Gonna be droppin at least $20 this week.
RIVAL SCHOOLS avatars? Does that mean the game is coming soon too.
*PROUD PS+ MEMBER*
GT5 RULES!!!!!
Dead nation for me. Finally.
Sweet. Getting a discount on Dead Nation…thanks again ps plus. I’m loven you.
And no avatars or game trials. Nice!
Nice early update thxs
Probably pick up Dead Nation here as well. :)
I don’t know where to post this but can someone explain why suddenly I am getting charged tax on my purchases?
It only started a little over a month ago. I still live in the same state I always have.
Thanks!
@milo- You want a discount on a 50 cent avatar? lmao!
Please give us Breath of Fire 3 as a downloadable PSOne Classic here in the States.
Great to see the early store update, but no psp legacy titles or ps1 (region 1) classics (there are only like 1,000 titles to pick from).
$0.99 for Uno? If that’s not a tipo, I know what I’m buying…
Where are the Black Ops Zombie Maps?
FawkePhenix if you are here i need to ask you something…
Whoops, I spelled ‘typo’ wrong…
Wow, I don’t think I can pass up UNO for $.99. I will also be getting Twisted Metal 2 for half off. How long will the Dead Nation discount be available?
Good update and on a very neat Time. :)
Now we just need more Avatars, especially God of War Avatars. Thank you PlayStation Store team.
Early update, but low on quantity and quality. Least we know what sony does on late nights :)
getting twisted metal 2, are you going to be offering the rest of the twisted metal games in future plus updates?
Great Update! I’m excited for Dead Nation, that was an instant buy for me and I’m giving funky lab rat a try with the demo and I’ve been enjoying the Tester
Great work!
Much appreciated the early update. Keep it going. Also thanks for tha PS Rewards program, I love the new avatars!
Would have loved a Dead Nation demo. But I may go with the gut and get it.
It’s great to get this so early. Can’t wait to play Dead Nation.
Wooooo! Dead Nation.
And I applaud the update time, nice work guys. If Sony could manage to update around this time every week, we’d have a lot more satisfied customers :)
Fullmetal Alchemist Dynamic Theme? I <3 Sony :D
What happened to BOOM BLOCKS?? It was supposed to come out in NA last week. It’s out in EU.
*PROUD PS+ MEMBER*
Need to add old PSP games.
An early update, sweet…
Peace,
VG
Lara Croft’s 2nd DLC maps were free. So why charge for the 1st DLC maps? I need a logical explanation.
Kingdom Hearts avatars kthxbye
Ok, I just noticed something THAT RUINED THIS UPDATE. When did you start charging tax in Alabama? You should have made us aware of that. Now, I’m not buying Dead Nation. Screw you!
Hey Megamixer:
You are the most negative person I have ever seen on this blog.
What games do you actually LIKE?
Do you expect everything for free or something?
