  • Thanks for another week of great content!!

  • No video content?

  • Nice, early update. I’ll enjoy the free plus stuff. Any word on a release date for Fear Effect as a PS1 classic? It was rated by the ESRB awhile ago and released in the EU PS Store last month. As you can tell, I’ve been waiting to play it again with great anticipation.

  • Crap. Oh well.

  • Whoomp there it is!

  • Thanks and Happy New Year to the PS Blog team

  • Darksiders = massively under-rated game. God of War meets Zelda… it even has a portal gun!

  • Nice update this week! Might pick up NFL Blitz and try the TNT Racers. Also thinking about joining Play Station Plus.

  • Great update, gonna pick up the Resistance stuff. The air fuel grenade should help during Superhuman mode =)

    I loved the demo for Swords and Soldiers, can’t wait to play it =) Can’t wait for the Crysis deal too!

    Good way to start off the new year, lots of stuff to look forward to this month as well. This is also kind of an early update. So kudos!

  • Any word on the remaining Duodecim DLC? It’s almost been a full year since the release date.

  • Early update, but I can’t access the content. It sucks my PS3 is being repaired and I don’t know when will I get it back :(

    Hope I can get the plus stuff, if it isn’t timed, then there’s no problem.

    • The free content this month should be available through the month of January. Many discounts however, tend to change weekly to keep things fresh.

  • Looks like a solid list of content. Interested to see what the verdict on NFL Blitz is.

  • I cannot bring myself to support Sony while they maintain their stance on SOPA

  • if only all psn updates were up this early xD

  • @DMcgee627

    SCE is against SOPA. It’s only Sony Music that support it which is a separate entity.

  • Would it be possible to get any sort of update on when we can expect the great PS3 Full Games that European customers have been enjoying for some time now? Dead Island, Deus Ex, Rayman: Origins, etc.

    I understand that these things vary by country, but can we at least reasonably expect these at some point?

  • But the ESA is for SOPA, and SCE, Microsoft, Nintendo, and EA happen to be members

  • Amazing PS Plus content this week, but no discounts for the plebeians again? Come on, guys! Don’t leave me hanging.

    • The upcoming 12 for ’12 sale on 1/17 will have some amazing first time sales for some great PSN content you may have missed. That will be PSN wide. But of course, Plus subscribers will get an extra discount on these sales; as well as year-round discounts ; )

  • Whatever happened to Rock of Ages?

  • Great Update!!! Plz more PS2 games!!!

  • Awesome, Back to the Future free ps plus, and NFL Blitz. This year is already starting to be great.

  • Finally Some ps1 classics worth playing ! Thanks for bringing back Gabe Logan !

  • Main page says “New on PSN: Trine 2, Apples to Apples, Sonic CD, L.A. Noire full game, Just Cause 2 full game and more”. That’s a little dated. ;)

  • TNT Racers… So we’re starting the year off with a PSP hand-me-down? I believe this will be indicative of where many Vita games will end up before long. Speak of PSP it gets nothing again? I’d guess they are saving up a whole bunch whole bunch of classic releases for the PSV launch… but that would get me laughed out of the blog.

    Darksiders is a decent game. $20 seems a little high given its age and steep discounts other retailers have had for it dating as far back as 2010. NFL Blitz with no demo? Nice try but I’m sure one will pop up within the next week or two. Not much else to look at this week making for a bland start to the year.

    I’d say this one warrants a 1 out of 5 star rating. Slim pickings.

  • Love it! But I really hope next week has some PS2 Classics RPGs.

  • Still waiting on the Atlanta Braves MLB avatar.

  • Damn! I was just talking with my friends these days about how awesome the Syphon Filter series was and how i wished i could play it again!! Thanks guys for this great content!!!
    Oh and Back To The Future is pretty fun too i almost bought it a few days ago, glad i choose Red Faction Armageddon instead

  • I hope these early in the day store updates continue for all of 2012!!! Keep it up, I know you can do it!

  • @vitrium

    Too late.

  • when does the the Legend Pack for WWE 12 come out?

  • No PS2 Classics again? Looks like it will take over 100 years :D to get every PS2 Classics on PSN :( Just bring back PS2 playback to a PS3 PLEASE SONY :P

  • i’d like to see fallout new vegas dlc get a plus discount or free treatment. also, NFL or NCAA avatars would be awesome. you could probably even charge us a dollar for those. something your should get your licensing guys on, please. or get EA to do it.

  • Sadly this is not the R3 co-op DLC -.-

    And… When Worms Ultimate Mayhem will be release!@!@!@! Every site say that the game will pop up later in 2011! We are in 2012!!!!

  • So where’s JOURNEY and SKULLGIRLS sony?!

  • @DMcgee

    Have you seen the ESA list? I guess A LOT of companies are going to lose your business then. Fight the power my brother.

  • 34, if you want PS2 games so bad, BUY A PS2! they’re so cheap now that there’s no reason not to own a PS2 if you can afford a PS3 (plus they don’t get YLOD, they’re immortal). I still have my PS2 but all the games I want to play get HD/3D conversions, so I play those instead. PoP trilogy was awesome in 3D.

  • not a bad time for an update, thanks on that end, but where are the psone games that so many of us still yearn to get every week?

  • If more people voted with their wallet, then companies might start to notice

  • @QUINTINSON

    Skullgirls is early 2012. Probably February. Hopefully Valentines Day’s heh heh.

    Journey is probably Springtime by the sounds of it.

  • More avatars.

  • Awesome update but 3 questions.
    1st.) When is the Crysis discount going live?
    2nd.) Do you guys plan on upping the Cloud space for Plus people?
    3rd.) When will we get the download prices for Vita games?

  • Weren’t there supposed to be 2 new PSP dual packs this week? Patapon/ Locoroco and hotshots golf/hotshots tennis? Where are they?

  • nice store update, although ive been a plus member since day 1 and believe that content should be targeted towards us rather than new plus members (for instance i got syphon filter 1 and 3 already through plus).

    • That’s why we mix in both new and old; while not relying exclusively on the old. We can’t ignore the new users, but for the vets, new content includes the entire BTTF series, Sword and Soldiers, and Syphon Filter 2. Not to mention first time sales on some upcoming content we think you’ll dig.

  • Is the air fuel grenade for R3 singleplayer or multiplayer?

  • Will there be any promotions for renewing PS Plus memberships? And is there a MGS: Peace Walker theme coming soon? Otherwise, a great update to start the new year!

  • Where’s the Sonic Generations Casino Night Add-On?

    It is on other PSN stores but not on this one…

    Thanks…

  • Where the heck is Legend of Dragoon?

    It’s been out in Japan since December 2010. It’s a game published and made BY YOU. And people want it. DO you just hate money? Is that what this is?

    Unless it’s that reason, you have no excuse. At least tell us why it hasn’t been released and give us an estimate date!

  • Hey Morgan, while you’re answering questions, maybe you can answer this one……

    Do you know anything, ANYTHING, about “Absolute Supercars” being released in the US in the next few weeks??? I’m only asking B/C it’s a day one buy for me when it comes out, and I am wondering if it’s EVER going to come out in the US. PLEASE answer me. I’ve been wondering about this since the day it was announced.

    Thanks!
