Hi Everyone –
PS Store

Spring Fever takes a surprise victory lap with the addition of Wheels of Destruction to the roster. This fast paced dose of manic car mayhem puts you in the driver’s seat as you take down your enemies using a slew of different weapons vehicles. Choose from multiple car classes like Assassin, Heavy, and Scout, and then put the pedal to the metal to try and be the last road warrior standing. PlayStation Plus subscribers can hop into this new release for 20% off on the day it debuts on PSN.

As if Wheels of Destruction wasn’t enough of an adrenaline rush, Spring Fever is keeping the meter in the red (blood red that is) with this week’s franchise sale of Mortal Kombat games and add-ons. The awesome Mortal Kombat DLC and classic MKs you know and love will be set on fire, covered in acid, and finally put on sale for 30% off.PlayStation Plus subscribers score a flawless victory with an over the top 50% discount.

More games dropping this week on the PlayStation Store include the moody survival adventure I Am Alive. In this post-apocalyptic tale, there are no supernatural threats, just an everyman who faces a decaying and hazardous world and humanity’s darkest inclinations.

  • It’s disappointing that I can’t get your highly advertised credit card all because I don’t have any credit.. seriously.

  • 2 weeks with nothing for me really. Back to Tactics Ogre.

  • “You’ll also find sweet Escape Plan and Devil May Cry PSN Avatars available to download at no cost.”

    I’d love free DMC avatars.. but I’m pretty sure this is a mistake lol. Great update btw, now we just need more Vita content/apps.

  • Actually, Wheels of Destruction wasn’t enough of an adrenaline rush.

    Also, could you give me the exact RGB settings to ensure that blood red is displayed properly on my screen?

    – Vince

  • Da!! bought shank 2 already.

  • Great update this week. Thank you.

  • any word on when we gonna see games like final fantasy type-0 in US?

  • Amazon app makes this update awesome! :)

  • @Morgan. So what happened to the game “Storm”, on the PSN? I saw it advertised, thought I would like it, so I went to the store to bought a psn card, came back to purchase it, and it was removed.

  • Shank 2 was on XBLIVE first, but something told me not to buy it b/c it might be free for PS Plus subcribers, glad I waited! I either already had, or I was not interested in most of the free games offered lately, and I was starting to rethink my Plus membership but just when I think I’m out you pull me back in ahaha!

  • SFxTK DLC = ULC(UnLockable Content)

    Warning – The Alt Outfits & the future 12 “DLC” fighters(Blanka, Sakura, Dudley, Cody, Guy, Elena, Lars, Alisa, Lei, Bryan, Jack-X, Christie) are on the disc.

    You are paying to UNLOCK the content, NOT download.

    Download > Unlock

  • @T-Cal

    Capcom already discussed why they do that and it actually made sense.

  • @32, because someone is forcing you to buy them? really?

    btw, i thought Canabalt(Minis) would be playable on PsVita…

  • So, Skullgirls is next week right? That’s what I’ve heard, but I don’t think it has been officially confirmed by Sony. I look forward to buying Skullgirls and the PSN avatars!

  • Got Shift 2 and Shank 2 from PS Plus. Might take advantage of the discount and get Wheels of Destruction. I Am Alive looks good but gotta play that demo first. Already got the Mortal Kombat characters awhile back. Hope Warp is as good as my friend said it is.

  • Crazy big update… and early. I iz happy :)

    QUESTION: Where is everyone getting the Journey avatar from??? I bought the game day one with PS+ and got no avatar… :( I want one too… that avatar is badass.

  • figures the one time I dont check before 6 because of the huge size of it at the beginning of the month its already up keep up the early updates Morgan thnx

  • @ guitarded77
    All you have to do is go on facebook go to journey and like it. Then you will get a code that you can put in the playstation store and you will be able to download the journey avatar for free

  • @ ZERO_169 – Thank’s for the heads up.

  • Decent update for once. Lots of good stuff for use PS+ers and some cool titles launching as well. Will try the “I am Alive” demo before a $15 purchase, however. Too bad WoD doesn’t have a demo, that too looks like it needs one before I commit money to it.

  • thanx ….good to be a plus member

  • Awesome update. Shift 2? Really? That’s great. Just one thing — there was a blog post yesterday saying that the Motorstorm RC: Carnival update would be out today. Has it been postponed?

  • nice update Shank 2 and Shift 2 for free and I got Price is Right Decades, I Am Alive demo to try out and the Devil May Cry avatar sets

  • Thanks for the free stuuf for the ps plus subscribers

  • Does Skullgirls come out next week?

  • When will gta sa come out as a ps2 classic. and will there be a sale for red dead redemption dlc at all?

  • @75, my guess is this year’s E3 which should have a GTA 5 demo. One if not all will be on PSN becuase of the hype regarding GTA 5.

  • Dear Playstion, put up Bushido Blade for a ps1 classic you are losing out money with disappointing updates.

    Sincerely,
    Kifcatcher.

  • Another update with nothing that interests me. Sony must not like taking my money lol!

    That’s okay, I have an alternate account based in Japan and I’m buying the 4th DLC Volume for the PSP game pop’n music portable 2 for 700 Yen.

  • Finally, I’ve been waiting on I Am Alive.

  • @74 I have read that the Developer Reverge Labs didn’t say it would be out April 10 but, they did say very probably and it will be 14.99

  • Good update.

    I already have Shank 2 (bought 2 months ago or so).
    I wont be getting Shift 2 cause its not part of my favoritw gameing style.
    And US$ 15 for I am Alive? This game does not even has greta scores out there and its sold for the same price of the masterpiece Journey? Just wondering…

    I will wait for the next updates :D

  • Great post from #81 *__*

  • I AM ALIVE Demo keeps freezing before the intro movie even starts and its been three times that I have had to restart my PS3 and go through the file checking…. Just deleted it before it caused any issues, guess I won’t be buying that game.

  • Great update. Thanks for releasing the updates earlier.

  • So we’re a few days away now from Jeff Rubenstein’s saying in bold in the “How to download PSP games to PS Vita” entry that “more PSP titles will be made available for PS Vita play in the coming weeks” turning into MONTHS, where is the update for PSP games for the Vita? We know a bunch work but either require being transferred via PS3 or are blocked by Sony’s wonderful DRM scheme that is Content Manager.

  • I guess the HMS Vitanic is dead in the water.
    “The hole in the bow of the ship will be patched in the coming weeks.”

  • So blatantly disregarding the mess up on Bioshock 2 price. Do… Do you guys and gals bother to do ANY research on prices out there, Prototype is new for like 10 bucks and 7 bucks used for a PHYSICAL COPY WITH RESALE VALUE!…

    Seriously it’s like dealing with characters from family guy…

  • How about some PS+ love for Vita owners? It’s called PS+, not PS3+, and Vita is part of PlayStation, right?

  • Has anyone been able to play the I Am Alive demo? I have to restart my system everytime after the start screen???

  • I am curious to know, will the GRFS beta as planned go live next week? Other than that, sweet to see Shift 2 Unleashed as a freebie. Would be exciting to see a Tom Clancy game, like SCC as a PS+ exclusive or a good first/third person shooter as an exclusive. :D

  • Glad to see Shank 2 is free (been meaning to get that, but things keep coming up).

    One question, though (which will probably go unanswered):
    Why no PS+ discount for I Am Alive? When I heard of the release date and all, it was said there would be a discount for Plus members, but there is nothing. Was this info wrong, was it changed for some reason, or is it still upcoming?

  • As much as I would love to join the ‘lets bash the vita content’ discussion. I really can’t, I am loving it. Just downloaded new DLC for Gravity Daze. Playing a Golf/Pinball hybrid game called @field that is addicting, and I just started Zero Escape. Its a multi-lingual world after all.

  • @91 there is a 20% discount for EU PS plus members on I Am Alive so maybe it will come to us store next week

  • @gearhead32
    Thanks. I was hoping for an “official” answer, but I never get those on here, but at least I know my information was at least partially right. I hope the discount does come to US store next week.

  • @94 welcome glad to help out I hope it comes to the US store as well

  • I’m still waiting on the fix to let users play their free PSPlus minis on the PSVita. I have minis that are on the compatible list, but I got them as free PSPlus downloads and they aren’t even showing up when I look at the store on the vita. I would rather have that than the skype app or even the youtube app. Of course those would come from two separate places (store and system update), but still.

  • Why should they fix the minis and PSone games, when they can get more money by making you pay for ” the license to use them”

  • Love the free games and avatars (need more free avatars). The original Silent Hill being free is a real treat. As far as post apocalypse goes though….Fallout 3 is still king.
