oh yea sony if PS4 is not going to have 2 gigs Graphics RAM “and” 4+ gigs system RAM then i will not be getting it.
The only Lumines discount i see is for Supernova at $9.99. I don’t even see the supposed discounted Vita game at all in the weekly deals section. God this new store layout sucks.
another update post where they post their info and leave. No one answering questions again this week. I know it is new years eve but it’s not like it is xmas eve.
One. It isn’t allowing me to add funds so I can purchase Assassin Creed 2 Deluxe Edition
Two, Why is that the case, and how long will this sale go on.. Please Reply as soon as possible
happy new year. psn staff..
I’m confussed… Is touch my katamari $12.25 or $8.57??? This listing lists Katamari for PS+ as $12.25 but holiday essentials as $8.57.
@drGiggless
you’re right, everyone knows PrimeroInsecurity is a troll, and a lame one at that. Just ignore him, he is not worth any of your time
and when I go to my holiday essentials section on my PS Vita (US store) Touch My Katamari isn’t listed. It does show Rayman origins for $29.99, Escape Plan for $14.99 and Little Big Planet for $35.99. Aren’t those the regular prices for those games? Why are they listed on sale?
Oh, hey, look…..you knew it was coming!!!
Making this a weekly mandatory copy/paste!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D
Listen I am going to speak for all of us “complainers”.
All we want is everything for Plus that Europe and Japan has.
Also we want every game ever released on PSN ever.
Also make every game that was released on disc put on PSN and then given to Plus members.
We also need the following PS1 games available and given to Plus members:
ALL OF THEM
We also need the following PS2 games available for PSN members:
ALL OF THEM
Also why can’t we play Nintendo and Microsoft games on our PS3? We want the following games for PS3:
ALL OF THEM
Also we want the following PS3 games on Vita:
ALL OF THEM
Why is Plus $50 a year? Seems like you would sell a lot of more PS3 if you gave away Plus.
Also why is the PS3 still $300? You would sell a lot more if it was $3. You would make it up in volume sales!! Also you would sell a lot of Playstation T-shirts and we would go to Playstation concerts if you just gave away the games.
If you don’t do all of these things I am buying a 360 and Sony will crumble as a result. HEED MY WORDS!!!
Wow! What a letdown! I’ve been waiting on getting the Borderlands 2 season pass since PC and Xbox users got a discount on it, I assumed PS3 would be up next for the discount. Silly me, thinking PS would follow suit. I was also waiting for some awesome deals like EU got. Really makes me wonder if I should renew my psplus when it runs out. For the past few months there really hasn’t been anything to convince me to keep it. Oh well, at least the people in EU got some good deals! yay for them!!
What is the actual sale price of Skull Girls and Katamari?
hi I was going thorw the comments on here guys please read the rules before posting yout comments right under comments it says open to everyone but don’t be a jerk the rules says no swearing, —>fighting,or —>using the comments section of this blog the sony staff are really busy I know this because my friend is a mod for ps home plus I volteer for lockerwood helping promote them my friend is trying to getting me into working for sony but its hard since I live in canada
dose psn store update on mon now I tought its tues
@107 trolling the comment section with a copy and pasted sarcastic post that was dumb to begin with, will really stop all the complaining here. You’re really smart. :/
@107 Snopes says that’s a scam since it won’t work. But they did say it’ll get you banned if its continued to be posted.
@111 Usually Tues, but only for this and last week its updated on Mon.
@110 I’ve been mod for a few things and its not fun.
Jetpack Joyride currently at $3.99 its free or not?
i just wanna say thank you sony for convincing me never to buy a ps plus subscription ever. horrible free games, sales on games that either i’ve never even heard of or already have, poor service all around. seriously eur ps plus sounds like a better deal than us ps plus, even if it costs more.
So no sell on borderlands 2 season pass?…..both pc players thru steam and xbox has had it on sell last week for 10 bucks……so only you guys are refusing to have the sell.
@116 Sony isn’t interested in competing with Steam sales, unfortunately.
Jetpack Joyride isn’t showing up as free on my PS Store. Is that a Europe exclusive?
@113 What’s a scam exactly and who or what the heck is Snopes?? A Peanuts character right? That is an ingenious post from a user a few weeks ago that exemplifies how delusional and how unreasonable peoples expectations for the PS+ service is. It’s great value for your money. The posts made on this blog are probably 1/1000 of the actual subscribers. That is a number I pulled out of a hat. It’s probably way less. :D
@119 Snopes is a site that researches fact and fiction. Snopes.com As for that post, its impossible to get everything due to licensing and stuff.
@118 I can get free here in US.
@ Linklex7
Look under the PSN games section. You’re probably seeing the mini version(which should also be free imo).
@Dukenator
Yes…..the post is clearly a grand exaggeration of peoples absurd over reactions to being letdown by the ps+ service. I know what Snopes is, I was being facetious.
You know, month after month I find myself being extremely envious of the European playstation plus folks. I think I need to re-evaluate the value in this service.
INFO FOR PEOPLE WHO BOUGHT MOTORSTORM RC COMPLETE AND HAVING PROBLEMS INSTALLING. GO TO THE VITA STORE, AND DO A SEARCH FOR MOTORSTORM RC. DOWNLOAD THE DEMO NOT THE PURCHASED VERSION AND THEN DOWNLOAD EVERYTHING ELSE BESIDES THE GAME IT SELF FROM THE DOWNLOAD HISTORY. WORKED FOR ME.
@122 We had people threaten to leave Microsoft and get a PS3. I still laugh at that.
Nice update. NBA Jam for me, thanks. For a service that costs $4.17 a month, PS+ is great value.
Still no Battle Royale Avatars?!!
@126 Did you get NFL Blitz when it was available as a plus offer back in Oct?
didnt unlock like it said it did
just to let you know I did not copy and paste this is a blog to ask questions and seek answers its not a game chat in a war game this is to help everyone and make sony better
anyone know if Dishonored in the holiday gift guide section getting a price drop??

Hey guys, quick question.
Sega as well as joystiq, says the Mega Drive/Genesis Collection for PSP is supposed to be on sale for $5, and $3.50 for PS+ users. Thing is that it’s still 9.99 on the PSN store.
I posted on the Sega blog but no response (guessing everyones gone for the holidays). Is this something we ask PS Blog about?
c4-3575-0 please fix this error.
so sad. :-(
man EU is getting the great deals I feel screwed
I would like to see more free PS3 games rather then Vita.
Please release HULU PLUS for Psvita.
thanks for the Chronovolt although I was expecting a bit more.. something like Mortal Kombat for Vita :D it was under Instant Game Collection in the Vita store last update >_<
shame!!
Yeah…… this is kinda lame.
Well just incase someone at Sony is reading this… I care about getting only one add-on for the Pinball Arcade the TWILIGHT ZONE table. When, where is it, and why does it take so long to get approval???
Just wanted to say, I love the blog, it’s a goto page everyday of mine, and love the updates you all provide.
Unfortunately ever since the new PSN store revamp, the PS BLOG is now my only real way on knowing what’s new now, because the new store design gives me a headache to navigate. It was so much easier to just click What’s New on the classic store design. I really miss that.
I hope you guys consider having it an option to switch between classic store and the new design someday.
Thanks for the update and happy new year for all the PlayStation Community! :D
PS: When will be fixed the problem with the dlcs of MotorStorm RC Complete Edition? Thanks Again
Not to pile on here, but it’s pretty easy to look up what the EU folks are getting. We’re clearly not getting the same love here in the US. I’ve played through my instant game collection. Not really seeing why I need to update my plus membership when we get junk like NBA Jam etc. while they’re getting Arkham City. They always seem to get the better games. Not sure why. I know this sounds childish, but it is what it is. This is the first time I’ve posted in this forum, but I just felt compelled to say something. I’ve changed my renews to every 3 months, instead of annually, with the hope that you’d get back on the ball with giving Plus members good games for their instant game collection. Letting it run out in January, however. On top of the terrible showing this holiday season, what used to be the best platform is now falling second to my other console in my living room. The only reason I have to power up the PS3 these days is to watch a blu-ray. Sure wish Sony could get me inspired again about my console.
For December I received thanks to Plus::
Bioshock 2
Super Street Fighter II Arcade Edition
Rochard
Anomaly Warzone Earth
Retro City Rampage
Chronovolt
NBA Jam: On Fire Edition
For $4.17 not including other features such as cloud saves and discounts, I’d say that was a steal.
Wow…There is a lot of disappointment from a lot if users here. Sony does what they can, not every update has to be packed to the brim. What really gets me also is those who are obsessed with graphics. What ever happened to fun? Games are for fun more so than eye candy. A lot of you want more and more and more and more…Isn’t what they’re giving to you enough yet? For example, if you’re paying for PlayStation Plus (or a parent/legal guardian) you’re already able to download full games free of charge. Somehow, this isn’t enough for you. As well, comments like “If ‘X’ doesn’t happen, I’ll buy an xbox!” are awful too. [Continued]
[Part 2] You should know there are some restrictions to things Sony can and can’t do. Good example is releasing some games you’d want that weren’t available in this (or another) region, or differences that have developed between the developers and Sony. You should really try to find enjoyment in games you have now and services you’re paying for instead of having a tantrum over not getting a ton of more content. I may be missing a lot here, but so far these are some of the re-occurring topics on the blog. Makes new friends on PSN or outside, and have fun in games you all may share. Enjoyment, over graphics and waiting for new content you’d get bored of in about five minutes.
