  • where’s Puzzle Agent 2??

  • EDF DLC 4ME!!!! Besides EDF and the Driver demo, this week is goobers.

  • I’m glad they released something related to Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. If they release avatars, I will be very happy. I would really like an Alucard avatar.

  • Sorry Mr. Boon, but Freddie Kuger in MK is just plain lame.

  • Dear Sony, can the next free theme be the Dynamic vampire one? Or can you make it a sale and make it 90 cents, instead of $2.99:D

  • Wish I could get in on the MM9 & 10 game discounts. Amazon-PSN only has the DLC bundles, not the games themselves. If only Sony had a web store that covered the PS3 side of things instead of just the PSP. Not that it matters since my PS3 is still as dead as PSP content updates in north america. Guess I’ll fire up DQIX in my new 3DS and get in some birthday grindan instead of p-shootering. :(

  • Hello again Gamers.
    I’m beaming with joy, with the STREET FIGHTER III online edition, there are some serious SF III players out there.
    I really want to play Bloodrayne, nice and the BACONING will most likely get sliced up.( get it, sliced up ) ? whatever.
    Freedy is a really cool idea for a DLC caracter, but at $5 ? I dont know man.
    I mean, were paying $59.99 for a full Blu-Ray disk of content, why are we being charged that much for a single caracter ? I dont agree with the pricing at all.
    The GTA price drops are the best this week, with LATD coming at $4.99, thats just sweet.
    Worms DLC seems like a good deal, but what is up with all the RDR DLC ? really, rockstar, REALLY ??
    My pspGo, is not a happy camper this week. I was looking forward to at leaste seeing a psOne classic or 2 this week, but again, nothing. Kaz, I think we need to talk.
    I love the DRIVER series, the 1st was a classic to me, so im amped to take this demo for a spin tonight.Keeping my fingers crossed.
    Im liking the downloadable games this week, but way too much overpriced DLC, puts a damper on this weeks update. Plus a lack of refreshing psp titles and psOne classics and this update slips to a , 2.5/5…As always gamers, Keep On Gamin.

  • Happy to be playing Comix Zone soon :)

  • Just bought Freddy Krueger but it pisses me off that PSN JUST NOW gets the 4 DLC for the price of 3. I bought all 4 already and this deal early on could have kept an extra 5 bucks in my pocket man. I don’t mean to sound cheap but it annoys me.

  • Mmm, Comix Zone is super fun! I really am enjoying it. Challenging and engrossing.

  • More avatars

  • Far Cry 2 is $15.48 brand spankin’ new at Amazon.

    …What a turd at $30.

    Will the REAL Freddy Krueger please stand up and slice that poser down.

  • Ok, Sony got me. Pre-ordered the 4 games for Payday: The Heist and got some free themes. Not a bad deal at all! Thanks Sony! Though this update is quite weak for me. Cheers!

  • With Sony cutting prices on all this dlc, this begs the question…..WHY are Killzone 2’s dlc maps still horrifically overpriced? $5.99 a map pack, $11.99 for the bundle (and that was AFTER a price cut), and this month a total of 4 people in the entire world were playing them.

    Even Killzone 3’s dlc map packs and bundles are cheaper!

    What gives Sony?

    You made Resistance 1’s dlc maps totally free after Resistance 2 was released, why not do the same with Killzone 2’s maps? Especially given the fact no one is buying the maps anyway.

  • DEF LEPPARD the best band in the world on Rock Band 3 ahhhhhhhh :)

  • I must be to blame for the pathetic updates. As soon as I got PS+ the updates got terrible.

  • LMAO wish that MK bundle was offered at the start. I would have bought that instead of buying seperatly. Thanks again SCEA for screwing over your customers!!!!!!

  • I agree that 30 dollars is too much for Far Cry 2 you can get it cheaper but, I am not gonna whine and cry about the price they aren’t forcing me or any other ps3 gamer too buy the game if you don’t wanna buy then don’t it’s a waste of time too complain about it.

  • PlayStation must hate money…. WHERE IS MY HOMESTAR RUNNER COOL GAMES FOR ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE GONNA BE ON SALE!!?!?!?? The Peans had it! Also the PLAY Games Suck!

  • it’s high time to release more oldschool GOOD stuff for the PS1. the last good release was PE2, but before that it was pretty weak. You should release more PS1 stuff. If you have a good relation to capcom, why not release the complete Mega Man X series. Or why not go big with Silent Hill 1? there’s tons of good games, but you choose the most obscure and halfassed games to probably ever see the light of day to release. Give me an hour and I can give a list of games you could be releasing one game a week for probably a year with little to no negativity from other gamers

  • I know this doesn’t have anything to do with this article, but I’d like a System update which allows us to keep listening to music, while we navigate on the PS Store.

  • PS+ is continues to be a waste of my money.

    The lack of new games for download is also disapointing.

  • $30 for Far Cry 2 lol. Seriously that should be no more then $20.
    Anyway will download the DLC for Crash Commando. Nice Megaman sales but I want to see Legends.:(

  • Dear Grace, where can i get a background of the Playstation Network PLAY background? i would love to have this on my ps3, also in the Videos store, the Adult Swim background. i would blast this pictures on my PS3 permanently. thanks in advance!

  • So, what’s the content of the MegaMan 9 and 10 Mega DLC Bundles? It seems interesting, but I can’t really check it out until I’m home…

    Besides that, I’ll just pickup the free Little Big Planet 2 add-on for the time being…

    By the way, I’m still waiting for some Dissidia Duodecim DLC that has not been released yet…

  • PS + has saved me a lot of money since I got it last year I am happy too be a subscriber

  • Where are the rest of the Dissidia avatars (Cloud, Sephiroth, Kefka, etc)?

  • 30$ for a digital copy of a nearly 4 years old game where theres probably no one left playing it online? Reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally? Sony? More like 19,99 if you ask me…… I won’t get fool’d this time! >:(

  • @127 no one is forcing you too buy far cry 2

  • LOL@Fary Cry 2 pricing.

    I’ll be blunt, these last few weeks have been down right pathetic.. Thank god for Steam and indie games.

    PS: PSP owners do exist, how about acknowledging us once in a while….

  • thank you so much for the GTA IV DLC sale, i was ganna buy it last week, but it look like the wait was worth it!!!

  • Driver & Driver 2 on the PS store pl0x and resident evil survivor! ………Pretty please?

  • @128……and thats why im not buying it too.

  • Don’t get me wrong here, FarCry 2 is still a cool FPS/sandbox game, can’t wait to get more news of the upcoming FarCry 3! :)

  • @132 good neither am I not interested in far cry 2 anyway

  • @133 I wanna get Far Cry 3 as well its looking good so far in the gameplay videos I have seen

  • Far Cry 2 was $5 a few weeks ago on Steam… $30 is a joke, I think it should’ve been no more than $14.99, and that’s even pushing it.

  • Holy crap Fantasy_43 You complain alot!

  • When are we getting splinter cell collection on PSN? Europe is getting it tomorrow no fair.

  • To the guys whining about FF 5 and 6, those games have been remade so many times that if you haven’t had a chance to play it, there’s something wrong with you. I mean, if you haven’t played them yet, you prolly weren’t meant to.

  • @138 yeah it sucks hopefully us psn will get it next week

  • Comix Zone is worth it, as is a free LBP2 costume, and I’ll look into the ModNation pack later. Besides that, this update’s kinda weak. I’m still hoping for more free Plus stuff, like full PSN games. If Beyond Good & Evil or Clash of Heroes goes free on Plus, I’m sold. I’ve got two kids and a tight budget. I can’t get the better stuff right now. >.<

  • Cant wait for Street Fighter 3rd Strike Online!!

  • where does beta remain then the R3? Should she not come out today for the plus members. Thank you in prerau.

  • @142 R3 beta isn’t available for PS+ members till 8/23

  • So much potential lost with that $30 price tag on Far Cry 2. Seriously Sony? Who looks at that and says its acceptable? Find that person and fire them.

  • @144 no one is forcing you or anyone else too buy far cry 2

  • “Mortal Kombat – DLC Warrior Bundle ($14.99)”

    …If I was one of those fools that paid $5 per DLC character I would be pretty mad at Ed Boon right now.

  • @ Ro

    Hey I’ve loved all the recent discounts I got from PS+ and ones that have been offered to regular members. It’s been a discount bonanza ;-). Anyways though I was hoping we would be able to see some discounts on Add-ons such as those for Folklore and LittleBigPlanet 1. I would really enjoy seeing that :-) .

    Finally Ro could you do me a favor and request that the Original Twisted Metal on the PS1 be released on the PS Store, or at least find out why is hasn’t been so far? I really miss that game and hope it isn’t lost forever because of some stupid licensing issues.

    Hopefully you will be able to reply.

    Thanks in Advance
    Wolf26pack

  • Awesome sale on Undead Nightmare just got been waiting for no reason and this got me to buy it…..and madden 12 demo I was pretty impressed and as everyone else is saying 30$ for farcry 2 that’s ridiculous!
