  • Cannot access to Warriors Orochi 3 DLCs and Atelier Meruru DLC doesn’t show up.

  • Any idea when Hakuoki will work on the vita? It was released the same time as the vita, but still doesn’t work. :(

  • Morgan, Unchained Blades ReXXX launches next week on PSP and I’m willing to bet that it won’t be compatible with the Vita at all. Could you start nagging them now, please?

    Quite annoying that all PSP games on the PSN were originally touted to work on the Vita, and it was later amended to “some”. New games, in particular, should be preapproved before they are launched. Its not as if the PSP engineers are bogged down with some overwhelming flood of US PSP releases (like 6 this calendar year), so get on it.

    Still waiting for Gungir to work on my Vita too.

  • Gonna pick up Lego Batman 2 with my brother! Gonna be sick playing as all the Justice League + more heroes!

    *Just beat Metal Gear 1 (MSX) in the HD Collection. I hope by the time I beat Metal Gear 2 (MSX) that the PS One emulator will be ready for the Vita so I can go straight into Metal Gear Solid and continue the saga! Can’t wait. Please release Vita update soon!!!!

  • Still no PS Vita compatibility for Gungnir?

    C’mon Sony this should be at least somewhat of a priority since the Vita is the successor to the PSP. With PSP releases dwindling you guys should have all future PSP titles Vita compatible right from the starting gate.

  • Any chance of a PS Vita demo for Lego Batman 2?

  • My dad has PS+ and wants to check out the Two Worlds II trial, but it’s not there. & If he clicks TW2 from an ad for it it tells him the content isn’t available on his acc. Not sure what’s up with that :s

  • Still no Marvel Zen Pinball addon yet like to buy it :). No store updated just ads at 3:50pm

  • @55
    Well, considering how the PSP is still doing about 10x better than the PS Vita, I highly doubt the developers still making games for PSP are worried what the Vita population want. In any case, we can all expect for get full PSP game support for Vita in the near future.

  • sucks, i alredy own the 3 psn plus discounted games :(

  • I envy our european colleagues for the PS Vita sale that they’re having this week… Hope we get a similar one real soon. Some of the launch line-up games do sound a bit too pricey nowadays!

    I wish PS Store had more of a global management, because y’know… Some of us keep track of what’s happening on other regions, and can’t help but feel a bit disappointed when something like this happens (does not, in that case). On the other, hand I know it’s all part of a business strategy related to the different regions, which would (could) be difficult to replicate. But I wish something could be figured out on that front.

  • What happened to the PS Vita/PS3 cross-compatibility for Marvel Pinball: Avengers Chronicles? I just purchased the game on the PS3 with the intention of also getting it on my Vita. Is this something that is coming at a later date, or am I wrong in believing that this was advertised as a “Buy on one get on another”?

  • Is last week’s Gungnir from Atlus going to be Vita-compatible?

  • @Jude_Government, that’ll come with the Zen Pinball 2 FREE update. No date yet that I’ve seen other than sometime in the next few weeks. You’ll be able to download any tables you’ve purchased to your Vita then.

  • when will we get Metal Gear Solid HD Collection on the PSN Store?

    other regions got them long time ago.

  • eh nothing really jaw dropping .. hopefully ffxiv’s 1.22c update tomorrow has something new to dig into

  • @walkingthedead17 I should have done a bit more research. I bought the damn addon thinking that I could actually play it without any of the other tables based on previous advertisements. Oh well. Thanks for the help.

  • two worlds 2 with DLC 25??? Maybe one day I have previously played it(day one) it is OK but had some major problems that I won’t mention due to spoilers. But the dlc was pretty expensive when it launched so for that price it is worth it. I’ll probably rebuy it as it WAS a good game. just had to throw that here

  • wish the walking dead ep 2 was here. those sale prices on them psn games dont look that good. il check out some reviews.

  • will we be able to pre purchase and download full ps3 games digitally like they can in Europe psn?

  • I have been waiting soooooo many months for Alien Breed Trilogy to hit PSN as it was promised and it’s finally here!! Thank you so much !!!

  • Shouldn’t the Vita download version of Lego Batman 2 be cheaper than the physical retail version?

  • Sweet! A new Magic the Gathering game!
    Hopefully this version has some gold trophies and a platinum – people that spend tons of hours on these games should be rewarded just like people that spend tons of hours on other games.
    Also would be nice to have a records page, where you can see how many games you’ve played with each deck, and how many wins and losses you have with each deck. Should also show your record vs other players and your record vs the AI.
    These were the main things missing in the first two games – hopefully they are in the 2013 version!

  • @72

    Yeah, what’s up with that?? Didn’t they announce that all digital download versions will be about 10% cheaper than the physical version? Anyway, Lego Batman 2 is still a buy for me, gonna play the crap out of it with my bro lol

  • Might just be me, but I’m starting to miss the old PSN+. This “instant game collection” nonsense isn’t nearly as fun as the grabbag of free goodies from before.

    Resounding “meh” update, nice to see Koei get off their butts and add more Warriors Orochi 3 DLC though.

  • looks like il get Bionic Commando Rearmed, got good reviews. half price sales are my fav part of the store updates.

  • I hoping for more classic arcade titles on psn sometime soon like Pop N Pop, Sunset Riders, Alien vs Predator, Battletoads, or Ninja Baseball Bat Man. Yeah I’m an old school fan, lol.

  • i am very upset that the max payne dlc did not come out.they have a big event going on this weekend.that would have been the best time.says june.should have said end of june. walking dead said 1 ep a month.well 2 months later still no new walking dead.thanks alot.

  • I’m very disapointed to see Tomba is $10.

    It was going to be an instant buy from me if it was $6, but now I’ll probably wait.

  • where is the stuff at

  • @ Jude_Government

    They were originally going to release Zen 2 free along with the Avengers DLC but there was a delay in Zen 2. Well, a delay on both but Avengers came first. They’re saying mid to late July on Zen 2 and then you should be able to play your tables on PS3 and Vita.

    If you want to play them right now, you can on PS3 by purchasing Marvel Pinball and get four other tables in the process (Spider-Man, Iron Man, Wolverine, and Blade), and you’ll have those for Vita when Zen 2 comes out, as well.

    Also when Zen 2 releases, you’ll be able to play demos of all existing tables. As someone who owns all of their tables on Zen and Marvel, I believe they’re all worth it and can’t wait for the update!

  • Socom Fireteam Bravo 3 is just NOW $29.99? Have you guys at Sony lost it? I bought the game on UMD Brand New for $5.99 at Target LAST YEAR. This game is $19.99 or less at most retailers. Digital copies are absolutely worthless, so you’d better start charging less money for your games IMMEDIATELY if you want o see any money heading your way.

  • What’s up with the store? When I click on Tomba to try to buy it says “I don’t have access to this content”

  • Could we get some PS Vita games discounts like EU store does?

  • Is the price for the Ultimate DLC Bundle of Warhammer correct?? $29.99???

  • Thank you Morgan, thank you Store Ops team for the quick update!

  • What platform should I get lego batman from? PS3 or Vita?

  • @ Taylor

    Good luck getting the game on retail.

    Hint: it won’t go below $55

  • Good to see some new prices, maybe i’ll get some of these games.

    And guys, just logged here to say that I’m loving the free-games given to PS Plus users. I think it’s preety fair to stay a month or so without updating the free games list for the Plus subscribers, there’s a lot of things to download and enjoy, I haven’t even downloaded all the free games I want, so it’s fair to wait some weeks before updating the free games content.

    As a recent Plus subscriber, I have a doubt: I have only the three month subscription, if I buy the 1 year subscription, the remaining time of my three month subscription will be considered, right? Or I need to wait the three-month subscription before buying the yearly one?

    Thanks in advance!

  • PuppetShoJustice

    So, Morgan, tell us again about all that hard work the Store Ops team does. The store isn’t even up anymore. Not the smoothest store update ever, I have to say.

  • Went to download Magic 2013… and I am also getting this “content cannot be accessed on your account” error. Been looking forward to this release… and I hope this problem gets cleared up soon.

  • It’s been an hour and none of the new stuff is showing up in the store on my account through the PS3. They’re available through search, but clicking on them gets the error message that my account can’t access them.

    What’s odd is that the new stuff is visible when I browse the store through a guest account on the same PS3.

    If it matters, I’m getting error 80023102.

  • Morgan your a class act; thanks for communicating directly with us and answering our questions. It’s really appreciated.

  • Morgan: You seem like an affable guy who loves his job. But in the future please make sure that the content that you post is available for download in the store. This would be akin to me telling my dog “do you want to go for a walk?” And then putting him in the closet for a couple hours.

  • Hope their will be Playstation Plus content next week.

  • Y’know this is getting really old fast. I’ve been trying to bring the problem I’ve had with the PSN store to the attention of someone, anyone responsible for fixing it. Yes its Infinite Stratos in the video side of the store again. It’s missing videos right in the very middle of the series. I’d pay for them without complaint if they were all there to buy. It’s not like its a rush job either its taken weeks and weeks to get all 12 episodes up and its still isn’t right. Whats the deal here? Does nobody working on the store care about losing sales? Plenty of other TV shows and movies have been published properly surely it can’t be that hard to fix this one instance.

  • The wipeout dlc for 2048 is turning into a fiasco, confusing, you don’t even know what you’re supposed to download, the store itself is borked, timing out, error messages, yeah, great job, store ops team. Completely screwed up on both the ps3 and psvita sides. You guys suck something fierce.

    • Here’s the response from the Store Ops teams on this:

      If they own one (but not both) of the PS3 components of this bundle they can download the individual PS Vita components of this bundle for FREE. The bundle will not appear in the storefront in this scenario.  

      If they own both PS3 components of the bundle, the bundle will show up as free. If they do not own both PS3 components of the bundle, this bundle will show up as paid.

  • i would love to get Worms 2 Armageddon, but does people still use the multiplayer?

  • I’m with #14. I know this is not something Sony has control over, but maybe someone from Sony can use a bit of their “sway” and get in touch with the right person from Square to see if they can release Final Fantasy 1 & 2 20th anniversary editions on PSN in America. I’ve sent them a couple e-mails, but that’s all I can do. I even have FF Origins, so I’ll be able to play that on my Vita (when I get one soon hopefully) but I’d rather have the PSP versions which are the best.

    And @ anyone asking about The Walking Dead Episode 2. I believe TTG just publicly announced they’ve finally finished it, and they’re hoping/expecting to have it released on the 26th. So cross your fingers. Personally I’m not worried because I’m not buying the bundle until they’re all released.

  • Off of twitter.

    If you are having trouble downloading the WipEout DLC, the team @PlayStation knows and are looking into it

    Figures. Europe gets full vita game discounts and we get the same old story each week.
