    Glad to see the PS3 beta of DCUO, I’ve been in the PC beta for the past few months and it’s amazing. REally looking forward to see how it looks on the PS3.

    Free DLC for games would be nice… how about these? RE5 DLC, Assassin’s Creed II DLC or the Borderlands DLC?

    As soon as you realize that Sony’s world doesn’t revolve around you, everything will become clearer. No sarcasm intended.

    Wait, what happened to Prototype coming to the PlayStation Store?

    The DC Universe beta and content sounds good, but…

    Will there be a fix made to the Hustle Kings avatars not being free? According to your 12/1 post the bundle that is in the store for $1.25 was supposed to be free this week for Plus members. Yet after checking they aren’t… I know they’re just avatars and the five avatars for $1.25 is a good deal compared to the $.49 cents each avatars cost, but if you’re telling Plus members what to expect when it should be delivered.

    Also, are there any plans to bring a PS+ Space to Playstation Home or more Plus content for Plus members? EU has been getting Plus content and perks within Home from the start, yet we’re still waiting to even receive our first Plus Home item. NA Home deserves as much love as EU Home gets. PLEASE GET THE BALL ROLLING ON NA HOME PLUS CONTENT!!!

    While graphics have obviously improved, developers have completely missed the market when it comes to animation and integrating game-play with scenic backgrounds. Still no mistake about PS3 owns the market. The approach to actions and camera angles has become very blocky and often is reoccurring animations from the same starting positions of a basic move. A simple fix. I hope bill gates ins’t up to any strange schemes. Make no mistake Sony is a World Corporation that America is a large part of. I suggest, again, to move towards the development of actual life like skeletal systems and muscles simulators. It really makes us wonder how much money if any goes into these projects. One combines effort could easily replicate this. Instead millions are spent on external resources to convey human behavior through athletes and actors. While aren’t data sources using simple coding. Oracle software could code this raw data of how much efforts is placed into doing things(lbs per square inch and friction). (continued)

    I suppose we’ll all live in Babylon / Macedonia for the next 5,000 years while everyone pertains like their scared terminator will come out of this. Your simple wasting money at this point from an American Infrastructure standpoint on many “life-like” games. On the other hand the development I speak of will likely flow further than just the gaming industry. Who know maybe some large corporation has this in their pockets and has been getting off on how private it is. Well the Reich of America is on your asses.

    Would love to get a NeoGeo release of Blazing Star on the PSN. The other NG games, not so much.

    Another Plus blog with tons of comments and 0 staff replies :D

    Will the Borderlands trial be for GOTY edition or regular. I think I know the answer but it doesn’t hurt to ask.

    Pumped for DCUO beta since their preorder system is very screwed up. It feels like a bit of justice after being shut out of LBP2 beta. Which I think is absolute bunk. The sooner the better on Beta entry please, Grace.

    am i the only one that can’t connect to psn store via media go right now? I get an immediate error saying the connection to server timed out. I have no firewall, i can access everything else on the internet. What gives? I’m trying to download some games.

    @ SpyDuseFX

    That’s because they care. And…

    @ Blog

    It’s CHRISTMAS not “holiday” or “holidays” stop being PC punks. And if the atheists don’t like it they can go pound sand.

    For some reason I dont see the Sam and Max in the store … free for plus members

    cool news about DCU, been quite interested in the game

  • Kirkpad
    December 8, 2010 at 6:23 pm PST

    Wow! There’s stuff here for people who already owned Sam & Max! I was expecting a rather dull month for PS+, other than CTR and Sackboy’s P.M. DCUO is what really sets this month apart, other than the Dead Nation discount. Man, are you really going to try and get me into an MMO Sony? How dare you tempt me!

    Really happy to see the NEOGEO games are coming. Even better that I’ll get a little discount. The only problem is, now Aunt Pearl won’t be getting a Christmas gift. I’ll have to re-allocate her present money for my own selfish spending.

  • ModernYorkster
    December 8, 2010 at 6:28 pm PST

    Will the NeoGeo Games feature Trophies? and if not can you explain the reasoning why?

  • BigBangBear
    December 8, 2010 at 6:28 pm PST

    Nice additions. Might be getting BFBC2:Gold edition for Christmas with the 1943 already added in, but still like the addition. Also, had pre-ordered DCUO, but info has been sparse on their site so I like this guarantee of getting in the beta.

  • John_Oval

    OMG. Thats awesome! Thank you Sony Team! Im really excited about the DC Universe Online Beta, thats awesome!!!!!!

  • Zinacef
    December 8, 2010 at 6:30 pm PST

    I can’t believe the entire game ‘Borderlands’ is absolutely free!

  • BigBangBear
    December 8, 2010 at 6:34 pm PST

    @84 – it is only a trial.

  • FawkAndSuck

    How much will Borderlands cost?

  • KazeEternal

    Is Borderlands GOTY or regular?

  • crazysky108
    December 8, 2010 at 6:42 pm PST

    I love the new update and that we’re getting another beta soon, but I would really like it if we could get a cool Christmas theme too! I’m still using the Halloween theme, which I love to death

  • DonCalzone21
    December 8, 2010 at 6:43 pm PST

    Borderlands will most likely be the Regular version.

  • DeadlyFalconX

    there was alot of people hating on psn plus now look.

  • Enkei-Xpress
    December 8, 2010 at 6:55 pm PST

    … Borderlands for free?? Lol no, PS+ members will most certainly get content.. But not that sort of luxurious stuff

  • John-Shooter
    December 8, 2010 at 7:03 pm PST

    why does it seem like you guys are pickin every title i already own on disc? Borderlands, GoW 1 and 2, Tomb Raider.. its like you kno..

    I was thinkin of pickin up either prototype or red faction but i only got to play red factions game trial for like 5 mins cuz i played it just to see what it was like before i went to bed when it came out and the time kept goin even though i wasnt using it

    it would be nice if the time stopped when i closed out of a game trial so i could actually get my money’s worth and not regret sittin through a 6-8 gb download

    not very bandwidth friendly either might I add

    any chances of game trials for new releases here or there?

    I’ll gladly pick up games if the trial thing works out but till then i’ll save the bandwidth.. just not worth the hassle

  • Shinra_Soilder
    December 8, 2010 at 7:05 pm PST

    This update is looking great. I can’t wait to get my hands on some of the NEOGEO games at a discounted price.

  • Cyb3rfr34k-iso
    December 8, 2010 at 7:06 pm PST

    borderland game of the year edition?

  • FawkAndSuck
    December 8, 2010 at 7:06 pm PST

    You guys should really tell us what the price of the full game releases. I have $10 in my wallet right now and I don’t know if I should buy a $10 or $20 psn card for Borderlands.

  • John-Shooter
    December 8, 2010 at 7:07 pm PST

    the full game of borderlands isnt free its prob gonna be like $29.99 .. the game trial is free to users

  • John-Shooter
    December 8, 2010 at 7:09 pm PST

    @FawkAndSuck

    get 1 of each cuz i think its like 30 bucks retail now cuz of the goty edition being out

  • J-tight

  • FawkAndSuck
