  • I need Vagrant Story!!

  • DUUUUUUUUUUDE

    Yakuza 3. So psyched.

    Also, The Tester is retarded but will gladly watch it. I enjoy watching trainwrecks as they are happening.

  • I really appreciate the sales and price drops, thanks.

  • Never heard of those ps1 games

  • Nice job on the avatars, but was looking forward to more, might check out The Tester.

  • So, when does Mlb 10 the show demo come out?

  • When the heck are we going to get the RtO add-on for Dragon age? Come on it no that difficult.

  • where is Rocket Racing?

  • Where’s Vagrant Story? By the way we should have free dynamic themes on the PS NA store because the EU PS store has two free dynamic themes, one of motorstorm and one of wipeout. Why not some free games too.

  • Nice update.

    Will we be seeing any White Knight Chronicles premium avatars on the PlayStation Store soon?

    I’d like to buy ones that feature Dragon Knight

  • can someone with the ACII collectors edition comment on whether they feel the three templar locations are worth an extra $5? i want to play the 13th sequence, just wondering if i should get everything or just the sequence.

  • So the Premium Avatars are just “Avatars” now?

    Let me guess, we will never be getting any more avatars for free and every single 60×60 png file will now be $.50

    I am so glad update 3.0 added the ability for Sony to charge us for Avatars. I also like how you rename them “Premium” when there is NOTHING premium about them but the price. It just seems a bit silly that we are paying to advertise your products and characters.

    To all the tool bags; yes, I can afford $.50. That is NOT the issue. Also don’t tell me that designers have to get paid for their work because these images can be pumped out by any internet monkey.

  • I NEED SUIKODEN 2!!!!

  • Reading through these comments every week and seeing 75% of them being complaints about more avatars, themes, videos, and playing dress-up with Sackboys instead of about actual games sort of explains why UMD Legacy and PSOne (actual) Classics have taken a backseat recently.

    It is a sad time to be a gamer =(

  • Hey solid update from what I see here. The premier of “The Tester” looks good. Pulse is great too, love Christina. I see alot of gamers on this board asking about MLB 10 The Show. I’ve had PS3 for over 3 years now and I’ve seen demos for each verison of the game. Hopefully whenever it comes out for Demo soon. I look forward to playing it. The tralier I saw last week got me hooked too. Well that’s all for now.

    Thanks,
    Train

  • Awesome update, but a i have a question, will blaz blue portable be available for download when it comes out.(im considering buying a psp go and this will it either get me to buy it or not.)

  • Nothing for me in this update.
    Ummm….THOSE are considered (psone) classics???? I would hate to see the ones you guys consider ‘Failures’ or ‘Bad’ games

  • No MLB 2010 yet = A BIG FAT FAIL!!!!!!!!!

  • February updates have been very good 8)

  • Hi Grace,

    Thanks for the EchoShift demo last week,it’s great!

    Were you able to look into the Gravity Crash wallpapers problem? I keep trying to download the “sun” wallpaper and keep getting the “space” wallpaper.

    Also could we get the PixelJunk Shooter demo that other regions got recently? I’d really like to try before I buy.Pretty please? : )

    Speaking of buying, any word on funding our PSN wallets with PayPal/PayPal with credit card yet? It would be really helpful.

    Another thing about PSN, is it possible to have the trailers , wallpapers and themes we download to get a check mark by them. I have a hard time remembering what I’ve already downloaded. Demos and games get a red symbol once we’ve downloaded them.

    Well, thanks again, and as always have a great weekend!

  • I gotta say that I’m disappointed that SCEA is being so standoffish about MLB 10 the Show Demo. They haven’t answered any questions and have ignored the overwhelming demands.

    I’m about to cancel my reservation for the Show out of fear that SCEA may be way over their heads with all the new features they have added and the Show won’t deliver as promised.

  • Uncharted 2 avatars plzkthnx

  • It’s starting to feel like the videos on youtube of the show may be doctored….if the game is done….where is the demo????? I knew those graphics were too good to be true!!!!

  • The way the PSN store is run is just sad to say the least. Seriously Sony who is in charge of these updates and deciding what us consumers want every week?

    Sony makes a great gaming system but doesnt know how to support it properly with content that the public wants. It’s like you have a 50 year old person in charge of what today’s consumers want to buy.

    I probably could do more a few months with this PSN store than what has been being produced for all this time.

  • @33 Im sorry dude your are not gonna make me believe we should be getting charged for avatars. Thats just silly.

  • WHY THE EFF ISN’T THE NEW GOD OF WAR 3 TRAILER UP FOR DOWNLOAD???

  • sooooooo disappointed.
    i really thought MLB 10 the Show would come out in this update.
    wtf man

  • Cool update I wont play the Yakuza 3 demo, but I will play the Sonic All stars raceing demo for sure.

    Also major creds to the PSN team for getting some new Avatars up there for us to buy, the more we have the better we can make our selfs stand out in this sea of gamers that is now 20 million strong on PSN!

  • i was thinking buying minis game like tetris could i play it on my ps3?

  • rate one star if you waited for MLB 10 the show to come out today!

  • No Return to Ostagar :(

  • Downloaded RE5 Addon content and totally ready to play!
    Gonna take me back to the old RE days haha, so excited (just updating to 2.00 atm).

    Gonna get the Yakuza demo after and also can’t wait for that announcement from Capcom in April. :D (hoping for MH PS3, just as much as exclusive character in Lost Planet 2 or Dead Rising 2 content, all very possible).

  • Yes, very disappointing to see MLB 10 The Show demo not available yet. Last two years’ MLB demo were out by now… Hope this year’s enhancements are worth the wait…

  • Is that 93 PS1 games on the US PSN Store now ? Slowly getting there ;D

  • Two things:

    1. Yey Yakuza 3!

    2. “Hemorrhage PSP Theme”. What the…

  • I know this isn’t the place to post it, but I need people to hear this request.

    The PS3-to-PS3 transfer can carry over all content, including locked saves. Yet the Backup Utility can’t!!!

    What’s wrong with that picture?!

    Sony, for the love of god, please fix that. I really want to upgrade my hard drive, but if that means that I lose all the hours I put into Demon’s Souls and KZ2, then I cannot do it! Please! I’m between a rock and a hard place!

  • Where are the Kevin Butler commercials?

  • WHAT THE CRAP

    NO MLB 10 THE SHOW!!!!

  • Sweet update. Hopefully I can get my hand on the new RE5 DLC

  • if you look at the mlb 10 wikipedia page it mentions the demo.

  • all done :(

  • Oops. thought this was for the capcom vs marvel thing. Ha /fail

  • *** suggestion ***
    Sony made it mandatory to have developers include trophies in all games as of 2009…

    How about making another step forward and get the developers to include a Dynamic Theme or two with the game.

    Asking the company to spend 20-30 mins making a couple nice ones to include with a games purchase (which would also be a incentive to purchase instead of rent) is a no-brainer in my books.

  • @Grace,Chris,and Jeff
    i just beat white knight chronicles not too long ago and as i watch the credits roll.ever since i have been playing rpgs i always wait til the end,never know what you may miss.as i looked up and read the names.i was like is that who i think that was.it felt good seeing your names on the screen.because of you all responding to all our questions,concerns,and comments.i was like i know that person.it makes you feel as if the game got tailored for you by way of friends.
    this may be off subject a bit,i just want to say thanks for what you guys do.i know its not easy dealing with us and you guys do a fine job.

  • when are you guys going to release Dino Crisis 2 for ps classic? Nice update by the way.

  • Jesus, any chance we could just seperate out the posts from the whining, over-entitled illiterates who only seem to come here to complain about such idiotic things it hurts to read?

    A good start would be to seperate the PSP updates away from the PS3 ones. PS3 updates have been awesome lately, but the PSP ones have not, and I for one am tired of crying “PSP owners” decrying every update as “crap” because it isn’t wall to wall PS1 Jap RPG borefests every week to the exclusion of all else. Newsflash folks, if you actually bought a PSPGo, then you are getting exactly what you deserve with rubbish updates in my book.

    Keep those excellent PS3 updates coming. I for one have been far more pleased with the quality of what there’s been to download there this year than any other console. My 360 seems to do little but gather dust these days, as it seems to be nothing but shovelware XBLA games in every update.

  • Nice! Yakuza 3 is almost here. Can’t wait!

  • @hiro-zero. I don’t see why gamers wanting to show their support for current games via themes/avatars/videos is a problem. Sure, I would like to get some ps1 classics or maybe even Alex Kidd in miracle world remastered with trophies (I love that game!!!), but wanting to show your support of a game with a cool dynamic theme doesn’t make someone less of a gamer. I mean, come on!

  • *yawn* still waiting for a good update this calendar year. Are we getting any word on Castle Crashers and Dead Nation anytime soon? Where are all the dynamic themes and premium avatars?

  • Why haven’t I heard of these PSOne titles? How are these classics? PSOne has certainly better titles than this which will make it more worth while.
