**Due to a technical issue, the Patapon 2 PSP trailer has been removed from this week’s Store Update. We apologize for any inconvenience.
braindead13 for ps1 pls…
Go Reds.
good update this week sony
I should have added this was a good week content wise. Something for just about everybody.
PS. Jeff can/will you start banning the “firsts”?
…………… Little Big Planet costumes???
seriously… it’s been soo long
Comeon MM before launch you promised costumes every week.
Where is the Leprechaun costume?
WOW!! 4 Demos – EPIC!!!
D: No InFAMOUS demo!
Oh well PS Store gets better n’ better if we had PS1 games Playstation 3 would be EPIC!!
WHERE IS MY KILLZONE SACKBOY??????????
Nice update sony. I will also like to see some ps1 classics released more often though, it would ease my pain of waiting for RESISTANCE:R. thanks for the nice update, see you next week.
this sucks, no mcla dlc…. of course i should expect it, that game came out 9 months after they said it would
What about that Final Fantasy Tower game I heard it was going to drop today :( And bomberman would be cool too
Booo, I wanted that new inFamous trailer. Can you tell I’m obsessed yet?
Great update though!
Why don’t you guys just face it. Sony just don’t give a rat’s *** about what the customers want. They only care about the $$$
Arghhh cant bother with demos right now.
Gotta keep killing ISA scum in Killzone!!
Where is the Phillies World Championship theme?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Great update, Buzz will be good for the family, and really enjoy the Pulse episodes. Too bad PS3 didn’t get Peggle the same time as 360. Never heard about it before, but tried the Demo last night and found it really fun.
Nothing too interesting for me but cool nonetheless.
Does the High Velocity Bowling game come with the single episode ($2.99) purchase or only for annual subscribers?
Is Astro Tripper playable on an arcade stick? (digital)
You know what the PSN really needs? A version of the store that’s identical to the PS3 store that we can access through a web browser. Then we could purchase items from a computer and then add those items to a download queue so that they will automatically start downloading as soon as we turn on our PS3s. Make it happen sony!!
Also, great update. It’s good to see more than just Rockband songs each Thursday.
@43 its out in the jp store and the demo is in english and japanese depending on the system language settings. hpe square-enix release the psn version soon if the full japanese version doese the same thing then no translation need because it has already been done.
i really enjoy watching pulse for obvious reasons of course lol( all the info and the lady) have you guys thought about adding more content to pulse???? it is very informative
Darn, I was really hoping for Zen Pinball and new songs for Karaoke Revolution Presents American Idol Encore 2… :(
Where is the LittleBigPlanet St Patrick’s Day Leprechaun costume that was promised today?
http://www.littlebigplanetoid.com/
@63…um…out of the 3 console choices out there I’d say SONY is better than the other 2 but that is just my opinion.
@70 … yep…don’t have wifi at work so the PSP is a no go for that…I’ve heard they will be spreading some functionality to cell phones for this so I assume it would be accesible by PC to order up some content too..
Odds we get the first PS1 game in the first half of the year?
epic update indeed
Patapon video does not work on my PSP.
I have the latest firmware and it says Unsupported Data when I go to the video tab on my PSP.
I have an original “fat” PSP but this should not make a difference.
Another solid update, thanks dudes.
Need to put aside some more dough for PSN.
What happened to the St Patrick’s Day costume officially announced by Media Molecule to be released today????
http://forums.littlebigworkshop.com/lbp/board/message?board.id=pod&thread.id=43552
No Crystal Defenders?
Another pretty great update with one exception. NO PS1 GAMES!!!
I’ve been waiting for a looooooooong time to spend my $$$ on Resident Evil 1-3 but I got sick of waiting & just picked up a used GameCube for $20 along with RE0, REmake, 2, & 3 for it.
Sorry Sony, you would have had my $$$ but you’re too late.
Where’s FAT PRINCESS?
Bad Update
Great update!
Great update!
Still waiting for the Valkyria Chronicle DLC.
how bout an Oregon State Beavers theme? I’d pay 1.99 for that.
Yes, Resistance: Retribution demo is finally available. Is there an ADVERTISEMENT for this game?
Bah! still no wheel of fortune or Bomberman.
2 Vin Diesel demos in a week. -_- I wish I had better bandwidth. Athena is looking awesome, and I wanna try Wheelman.
University of Kentucky theme rocks! Great update guys! But where is all the LBP love?
yay for PSP support
Finally a decent update! Every week, I see the RB2 and GH:WT songs and I’m disappointed. This week (FINALLY!) both have released pretty good songs that I will definately buy.
Decents demos… Red Baron and Astro Tripper too. Very nice.
I’m not entirely up-to-date on PS3 news though… Can someone tell me why no more LBP content? Is it just a lull or permanent?
Electronic Arts is totally out of control with DLC pricing. I am far from a frugal person. I’m really not apt to complain about pricing. But $5 for a single car unlock is nothing short of highway robbery.
If Gran Turismo charged you that much per car, GT5 would cost around $5000. Think about that.
Electronic Arts is clearly exploring just how much they can gouge customers by withholding content that previously would have been on the original $60 game disc itself and then selling it for several times as much money as DLC.
I really don’t mind being nickel and dimed a little this way. I like the LBP stuff, for instance. But Electronic Arts is taking this price gouging much too far to the point where I feel like they are insulting us all by assuming we are suckers.
That they continue to do it implies that a lot of gamers must be, because someone’s buying them.
Of all the school themes you added this time, I was expecting Penn State. Weak Sony, really weak. But hey, the rest of the update is good…
Hi Sony. Great job on MLB 09 The Show.
Just wondering when the Toronto Blue jays Theme be available? Which Thursday?
Frekaing amazing update! Thanks guys. People are complaining about stupid things.
Fat Princess will come out when its done; The only reason you want PSX games is because the 360 has X-Box games. I bought 5 games that i remember being amazing back in the day. They aren’t anymore. End of story.; Just ignore people that say “First”. They are retarded… Retarded people exist… ; Bomberman Ultra will ALSO come out when it’s done. ; Rock Band/Guitar Hero songs have nothing to do with Sony. >.> Damn complainers.
Anyway, time to completely kill everything i just said by complaining!
– I want the InFamous trailer. :( lol. Pleeeeease? Next week? Pretty please? D:
…Pretty please with a cherry on top? o.o
Hey, good update but where the F are the PS1 games and more importantly, why the hell aren’t there any PS2 games available for download? I understand you guys want people to buy the retail copies but you could be giving us some older titles for like $14.99 or something. You’re missing out on a gold mine, I’m telling you…
While we get the Red Baron, Xbox Live is getting Virtual On Oratorio Tangram. What a difference in priorities.
i just wish Sony gets White Knight Chronicle & Yakuza 3 in US or EU…
