  • Excelent!!!!

  • COME ON!! I already bought Back to the Future! I think that if PS+ users have already bought a game that’s now free for them, they should get a credit in their wallet. Help make life fair Sony! lol

  • -_- no saints row the third dlc :(

  • Wait, wait. How many *more* Syphon Philters are we talking about?

  • Any chance we will get a bundle offer/deal for Pixel Junk Monster/Encore??

  • ??? Huh, any chances??

  • Will Chrono Cross ever make it to the Australian PSN? It was announced some time ago and iv been impatiently waiting ever since.

  • No reply love from Morgan, unfortunate.

  • Great! I’ll get BTTF immediately!

  • Great update too bad that I got those two games free from Steam last week..

  • Syphon filter games, wow such great memories. Thanks Sony, it will be nice to replay these classics ;) oh and happy new year to all ;)

  • As much as i would luv to play legend of dragoon I would really luv to see “TOMBA” n “TOMBA 2” get a ps one classic release xD

  • Another week of recycled garbage. PSN updates are starting to resemble the Wii store, which makes me a sad panda.

  • wow thanks so much i was playing back to the future again!..Know i have them all for free!! Awsome..great time for a update lol

  • I have Guitar Hero and been playing it but, I have seen the Rock Band still being listed with new DLC. I can’t believe that this game is still bring out new stuff. sheesh.

  • Come on…Under Siege update and DLC!

  • Gotta Get Back In Time !!!

  • Please please please Sony, release Tiny Tank on the PSN!!!!!! :)

  • omg thank you thank you, i was thinking in buying syphon filter and look what new year brought me, plus back to the future woot this is xmas all over in january for me heh

  • I think the ps3 full games are great Im glad you guys are doing more of these now I love buying games digitally I mean itd be great to see some more PS2 classics but the PS3 full games are great too you guys have a loyal customer in me for a loooong time In fact right now the only thing 360 has better than yo is its massive digital library

  • how about bringing Heavenly Sword and Folklore to psn with trophies and ps move support ?

  • Sonic 4 Episode II? About time…

  • heck you guys could add move support and trophies to Lair too

  • Awesome stuff, because of the slow updates this Jan, it is a good time to stock up those full retail games on the PSN.

  • SONY! HEAR THIS! This is a thing way different from this post but i need to get ur attention…

    http://vita.ign.com/articles/121/1215654p2.html

    This is very important… I want the vita to succeed but u need to do something u know… in this article, Colin give a few hints that will help u live up the vita! but sony needs to do it! Want a hint from my part…

    >>>Monster Hunter 4! EXCLUSIVELY FOR THE VITA! <<<<

    Make that happen, Give 4gb memory sticks in each vita, and little deviants (a game that use all functionality of the vita) AND LOW THE PRICES OF UR GAMES!!!!! the prices should be from $15 to $40 at max!… not 50!!!

    Make this happen and Vita will live and Surpass the 3DS! if not im afraid the vita has no future in a crowed market such at this….

    I have my Vita reserved… with a 16 gb memory card and Uncharted… but now that i find out that U:GA its at 50$ im not buying it… sorry… its too expensive.

  • Pretty good update this week. Couple of free Resistance 3 dlc, couple good discounts, free Syphon Filter trilogy, and the full Back To The Future game for free! Been hoping for that one since they gave PS+ people the first episode. Haven’t had the money to get it, but now I get it free. Yay!

    Also, gotta agree about wanting Legend of Dragoon. That was one of my favorite PSOne games and I would love to see it on PSN. Those lucky Japanese gamers have it already. What’s taking so long for us American gamers?

  • Also, there seems to be a glitch of some kind with Syphon Filter 1. I downloaded it and installed it, but the install bubble was still there. The game was ready and playable, but the install bubble wouldn’t go away. Had to delete the install bubble, but the game still works fine. Just a little bump in the road.

  • Great content!

  • Please hear the words of fans without them there is no PlayStation .PlayStation We need a FFVII Remake on The Vita To Succeed PS Vita Sales And Monster Hunter Vita .Elder Scrolls.Dark Souls.Battlefield 3.GTA .Dissidia.Xenogears Remake

    OR YOU LOSE

  • Happy New Year, all. I noticed that the ratio of Plus peeps seems to be going up, so that’s good for the PSN’s viability. Even many of the complainers are Plus’ers so It would seem your personal cost/benefit calculations tipped toward subscribing anyway.

    Thanks for the generous offers for this month, Grace & Morgan. Alas, I do not need them as I am STILL living another life in Skyrim, near-continuously since 11/11/11, and on only one original character. About 300 hours in, yet less than halfway completed as of tonight.

    I do love the growing selection of dynamic themes on the store. I buy a new one almost every week.

  • why is my comment awaiting moderation? :( i didnt say anything bad

  • oh my god i have just finished Folklore , oh my god i didnt know what i was missing out , man this game is easily in my top 3 ps3 games of all time !!! , put it on psn with trophy and ps move support sony !!!! im about to play other people dungeons and then im gonna create mines , man this is a truly underrated gem , trophies and move support !!!!!!!!!!!

  • DOWNLOADING!!!
    PLEASE MW3, BATTLEFIELD 3 AND SKYRIM AVATARS!!!!

  • dont know why i am posting as they come up on th eblog three days later but the one ps2 classic that abut 90% of your customers want on psn in 720p is Socom Combined Assault. It was the best Socom ever, rivals the two for the ps3 in gameplay, teamwork and FUN! You should seriously consider it, just DONT MESS WITH THE GAMEPLAY. Please if you only do one thing for me this year that would be it, remember i helped you to track the psn attackers back in april so maybe you should help me get my classic socom on. also, since we are on the topic of ps2, you should make all ps2 disc playable on the ps3. you are already doing it through emulation with teh emotion engine so why noot let us, the customers, play our previously bought and loved games on OUR systems. Just a thought.

    I do think i deserve a free vita tho…….

  • so Morgan did you replace Grace chen? did she get sick of the negative comments on here and quit or something? decent update.

  • Early update? This is definitely two days later than when I usually see it! Reading through all the comments, I saw at least THREE requesting Legend of Dragoon. I have been waiting for this game since I bought my PSP. Why is it not out yet???? Sony! I demand you tell us what is going on with this classic!

  • I urge everyone. BUY DARKSIDERS. That game is a classic. Great level design, awesome boss battles, spot on controls and solid story. This game does take things from other games, but it does it just right. Sleeper hit for real.

  • Where is the new episode of Qore?

  • This was a GREAT update! But you know what would be REALLY awesome? Castle Crashers for free! Or even better, From Dust!

  • I like everything on here in this update, but i would love to see some more Twisted Metal or Ratchet and Clank games in the Play Station 2 Classics. Those are the real classics that i miss playing as a kid, i would definetly buy them if they were available.

  • Any chance Resident Evil 4 will get another discount any time soon? I missed my opportunity before. :(

  • thanks again SONY!

  • *sighs* Still no classic PS2 Dragon Ball Z titles? SMFH

  • European Store got KOF XIIi addons this Week… for when on US Store?

  • when are they gonna make an update thatll let me listen to music when im killin guys on cod? ((:

  • hello guys

    i’m from Brazil and here the Store is too expensive and we have weak content yet.

    But i’m here because i want one thing

    Choose 1 of three games you may offer when you update the Store with a free games for Plus subscribers

    in the last month i don’t have the Tomb Raider Underworld because i finish this game and the Platinum too

    You can offer a 3 games

    i’m choose one and others can disappear

    this method was the same the Program Welcome Back……….

    and all people makes happy!!

    sorry for my poor English!!

  • For Playstation 2 classics why not bring Kingdom Hearts 1 & 2 to the Ps Store. As for avatars how Sonic the Hedgehog, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom, and Anime.

  • LMAO @ Sony! I demand you tell us what is going on with this classic!

    Some people have big b*lls LOL

    I always LOL @ ‘demands’

    Good update…I’ll be grabbing some content after I finish my coffee.

  • The repeat offerings on PS1 classics is pretty disappointing as someone who’s been a PS+ member since day one. I hope this isn’t something we’ll see very often. It would be better to just offer long-running discounts on titles that have already come and gone.

    The BTTF games were fantastic, I ended up purchasing them during a sale last year, so that’s a great offering for anybody that doesn’t have it yet.
