  • Megadrixfire_24

    Great Update, Thanks!

  • Time for some Burning Skies!

  • Brace yourselves.

    The posts complaining about the Rayman Origins price change are coming.

  • Why is APE ESCAPE not on PSone classics yet? It was a first party title and was one of the most popular PS1 games. COME ON!

  • Pure Chess! Finally. Great update!

  • Sweet, but I have 26 cents less than I need to buy LA Noire Complete Bundle (whats currently in my wallet)…depressing. Oh well, I might get Just Cause 2, or just keep the money in my wallet until the Close Quarters expansion for BF3 comes out.

  • Thanks for the early updates Grace; appreciated !

  • Great Vita update! Already picked up Resistance from retail and can’t wait to get Gravity Rush Demo, Niconico and pure chess.

    Can’t wait to see what’s in store for the Vita @ e3!

  • Can we get the JUNE PS+ Preview please?

  • Still no ghost recon future soldier???

    It hit the euro store last Thursday.

  • If we Buy Pure Chess for PS3 or Vita, do we get the other version for the same price, or do we have to buy it twice?

    • I didn’t see any mention of a 2 version deal on this one in the Pure Chess blog post that went up earlier, so I don’t believe this is in effect.

  • PS3 Add-ons

    thank you very much :)

  • Could we get a list of the DLC with the Ultimate editions? Also, great update. I do hope you guys plan on the promised mid night releases for Vita games though…. I don’t like the recent trend.

  • and why the price for rayman origins is not 15$ ????

    • We’ll work on getting the Plus outlooks tighter. I know the original Plus Post stated $15, and as mentioned in those posts, the content and pricing is subject to change; but this was one of those pieces that did see some change. Apologies on this one.

  • Sugestions for PS2 Classicas: Fahrenheit and Just Cause

  • I have noticed that a few more PSP Legacy games now seem to work on the Vita (though only by downloading them to a PS3 and copying from there). These games include titles like Sega Genesis Classics, NCAA Football 2010, and Myst. However, some games like Midway Arcade Treasures and Hakuoki are not transferrable. Is there a full list of compatible games, so that I can purchase titles with the knowlege that it will work on my system?

    Also, when will PSOne Classics be enabled on the Vita? I am quite looking forward to playing the Crash games and Legend of Dragoon on my Vita, and would like to know if plans are still in effect for this feature to show up.

    Thanks for your time, and looking forward to the new Vita demos posted today.

  • I’m with JoeTheBeast16, do we get both for that price?

  • Thx for the update! Can’t wait to play more Arkham and the GRR demo. btw what DLC does the inFAMOUS 2 Complete edition contain? Nice to hear that GR is only 40 but is there going to be a discount on the store for it?

    Also, I’m very disappointing in the PSN marketing team.
    We continuously begged for a Resistance Burning Skies Digital Preorder. Some of us bought a 32 GB card for a reason. Hopefully u learn a lesson and do it w/ gravity rush

  • How to make PSN a better option than retail:
    1)Midnight releases for AAA games
    2)Preorder Bonus: All retailers get different bonuses, PSN should get them all + an extra if u want
    3)DLC: First DLC should be FREE only on PSN. Day 1 DLC is free only with the PSN version (haha Capcom)
    4)Cross Play Games: While $80 bundles are understandable for retail (do to boxes and ability to sell back games),
    PS3/Vita content on PSN should be bundled for $60. thats a $20 dollar discount and consumers can’t sell it back. theres no game cases or anything or no codes to sell, why can’t this be done?
    5)Maybe integrate SOME of the above with PS Plus.
    6)Market ur games well(not even hopeful on this one)
    7)Get game trailers up faster….

    Well thats all I can think about now but please relay the ideas. Thanks and have a good day!

  • I NEED ANSWERS NOW!!!

    1. What happened to my 1 month FREE Plus with my purchase of Starhawk at GameStop?

    2. Are PS Vita users going to get a YouTube app? Yes or No (Very simple to answer stop giving us the runaround)

    3. I thought Rayman Origins for Plus Members was going to be $15.00 for Plus members?

    Sony STOP doing a BAIT AND SWITCH!!! Please reply to my comments

    • 1) Have you contacted the GameStop that you purchased it at? I believe there was an error on Gamestop’s side but if you contact them, they should have this for you. Please PM me in the forums if you’re not able to secure this (PSN ID: mochuuu)

      2) I have no news on youtube for PS Vita

  • And why is it that via the PS3 Store, A Space Shooter for 2 Bucks is listed as Vita compatible, yet it will not transfer to my Vita?

  • AC Revelations is $60 ? Naw, come on..

    Thankfully I picked it up new (with AC1 included) for $19.99 last month.

  • x8xSiegfriedx8x

    Excellent update! but… the frees stuff for plus members? its been a while since the last time i saw a classic for free, like 3 weeks, and its a lot if we considered that was something of almost every week.

  • With the exception of the online pass, it looks like a nice update. Someday you should give the Vita some PlayStationn Plus love. I know the pass only exists to punish the used game buyer, not the original game purchaser.

  • why is resistance burning skies full price on psn?

  • Resistance Multiplayer keep logging me out saying connection to room timed out :S

  • Was gonna buy Rayman Origins for $15. I’ll just wait for it to be super cheap on Amazon

  • Oh come on guys last months Rayman Origins was shown off at $15, for the past three weeks I’ve been saving the $16 I had left in my wallet for Rayman and now I don’t have bloody enough?

    Thanks for ruining not only my experience but my entire day…

  • Chess looks good probably get that.

    Where on earth is Machinarium for PS3 though?

  • June PS+ preview PLEASE!!

  • Resistance Burning Skies: Store says 3.1GB required, post says 2.84GB required….which one is it?

  • Luckily i bought rayman origins for 15 bucks at fred meyer 3 months ago!

  • sadly nothing for me this week but before the sale ends i am going to have to get InFAMOUS 2 Ultimate Edition, and ether mafia 2 or just cause 2

  • Nothing special… the “Ultimate Deals” thing is pretty neat though. Early’ish updates are always a plus too.

    Next week is apparently going to be huge.

  • 3GB demo for Resistance? Awesome for 4GB memory card Vita owners.
    Glad to see its full retail price too, none of that 10% mess other Sony digital titles received.

  • Really Sony? Still no DLC tables for The Pinball Arcade? I hate to sound entitled or whatever but that’s unacceptable. Farsight has said the DLC is finished and it’s in your hands so what’s the hold-up? I imagine it can’t take this long to authorize and publish to the store.

    You guys sure don’t take this long to authorize weekly Rockband tracks or CoD maps do you? But when it comes to an indy game you take your time? :/ Sup with that?

    I hate to sound rude and that’s really not my intention but I just would like to know. Thanks.

  • So the Rayman Origins plus price isn’t $15 after all. Too bad. Guess I’ll wait for a better offer. I can wait.

    Well, only Just Cause 2 for me this week, then (great deal, by the way).

  • Where is The Walking dead at

  • would someone please explain to me why games on PSN store for Vita cost the same as the retail version? i thought they were supposed to be 10% less on PSN than retail.. i mean they indeed were at launch but why not now?

  • Winscar_Shinobi

    60$ for assassins creed revelations?

    What a joke. Hasn’t been 60$ in retail stores for months.

    Should be 40$ at most…..

  • Cant even remember the last time the store had something i actually wanted to buy from it lol

    Also PSN will never get the masses of its consumers to buy Digital when you charge outrageous prices that are way higher that what is being sold in retail stores at much lower price.

  • Yeah, I was thinking about grabbing Rayman at $15, and I know it’s only $8 more, but, now I’ll hold off.

    Curious as to what happened there.

  • As others have asked: Why is Resistance, a FIRST PARTY game, full price on the PSN? We were told there would be a discount day and date for all first party titles if purchased on the network.

    Come on guys.

  • To contribute, though, I will ask a gripe-type question. Is there a reason some PS3/Vita games are available on both systems, as a buy one, get two feature, while others aren’t? Pure Chess looks great, and I plan on getting at least the Vita version. At $7.99, it’s a great deal, and gamers have been fortunate enough to get two versions of an identical/similar game so I can’t complain. So this is merely a question about why some offer this while others don’t. It would be nice to buy the DLC just once, for example.

    Also, I like these Ultimate Editions. They shouldn’t be a promotional feature, and should expand to every game with DLC that has been out for some time. This would push a lot more content, as I recall taking advantage of a Borderlands bundle a while back.

  • For those wondering about Pure Chess:
    – It is NOT “buy one, get both”. You have to pay for each version.
    That being said, why is the add-on more expensive for the vita version?
    – Rayman Origins was supposed to be $15. What happened?

  • Still no ” Walking Dead Episode 2″ PSN game update? Now this is starting to get annoying.. does anyone know when the next episode of the Walking Dead comes out?

  • when does jet set radio come out?

  • Hi Sony ^_^ thank you for putting up the gravity rush demo and for releasing resistance (purchased) onto the psn today and especially for allowing more psp games to be playable on the psvita ^_^… You should announce that you made more psp games available today ^_^ thank you again…

    I’m finally proud to be a psvita owner ^_^… Keep up the good work

  • I just literally put a $20 card in my wallet… I don’t think it’s going to be enough… Haha.. keep the updates coming….

  • Dammit Sony! $23.99 for the Rayman Origins? You are doing it wrong!
