  • will ps2 games ever get on the store. because i really want to play Jak 1-3 and i have a slim.

  • Quick question…my Streets Of Rage 2 is gone…and I’ve been a PS Subscriber since the free month.

    • Your content should still be there if your subscription has not lapsed. If you’re still a Plus subscriber, and you can’t get to your content, you may want to reach out to Customer Service so they can help you out

  • Still no Galaga Legion DX?

  • XCOM UFO Defense as a PS1 classic please.

  • im_a_pterodactyl

    Limbo?! Nice! When? Thanks!

  • will ps2 games ever get on the store? because i really want to play Jak 1-3 and i have a slim.

  • Thank you for responding to me Morgan Haro. If there is no information at this time, that’s all I wanted to hear. I appreciate your response.

    • Certainly. Also, make sure Square Enix hears your voice for PE2 content as well. Since the original PS1 game was published by Square EA, which then folded back into the Square Enix we know today; it can’t hurt to ensure SE knows your interest in this title.

  • I see a lot of people complaining about the updates every week. I agree some weeks are weaker than others but for the most part I have to say I am really impressed. I am a father of 3 and can not usually afford for the most part the full price of some psn games. But thankfully I am a ps + member and getting 50% off on the summer sales allows me to pick up stuff that I wanted to play but really could not budget to get. So thanks Sony from me and my kids who will enjoy these summer sales together, going to be downloading a lot this week :)

  • AWESOME update. Can’t wait to get home and start downloading some new games. :D

  • Where’s the last batch of MLB Avatars? I’ve been waiting 3 weeks now for my Reds avatar!

  • i want need for speed most wanted sale! but ill take a look at the dynamic zombie theme

  • @68: couldn’t agree more or put it in better words. I don’t know why Sony hasn’t released PE II here, it has been out on the EU store since the week after the PS store came back. seriously, this is a quick profit right here Sony, you’re looking foolish right now…

  • Wow, I feel spoiled with my computer. Anything less than 50% off on digital distribution just doesn’t seem like a real sale :(

    Also, when is DOOM coming to the PS3?

  • Hey guys, what happened to Angry Birds (mini) on the PSP/PS3 store?? I wanted to buy it but I can’t find it anymore!!

  • Another Week and nothing for the psp. i have said this time and time again. how are we suppose to know youll support the Vita if you guys arent even going to support the psp? this is how many week of nothing for the psp? And no i dont count mini, or sales as new content. although i will say that the megaman and Monster Hunter is nice to see. too bad i already have them.

    I too wonder why i even bother. i bought a launch psp 1k and that ended up breaking. i would have thought when i bought a Go Sony would take it seriously. But seeing these updates it seems like they dont even have a clue they have a psp in the first place. i wouldnt be surprise if you treat the Vita like this, or even worse.

    Aside from that the only good thing in this update is probably the Cathrine demo which i need to see for myself since all my friends rave about it, its getting quite annoying. Now i can finally see what the hype is all about. hopefully its not one of those Japan games that makes it to the states and brings nothing original, but from the way my friends are bring it up it seems to be like that.

    • We’ve got a big initiative right now with the Dual Packs. If you haven’t gotten a chance to play any of those top tier PSP titles that are now bundled together, it’s a great time to get to them. They’re $15 each with 3 packs at stores and on the PS Store for download.

      Also, I know minis aren’t top level with many, but if you haven’t checked them out, you owe yourself to give them a shot. Especially Alien Zombie Death, Babel, and many others.

      Personally, I’m looking forward to Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 2 when it hits, but that’s in Sept, so hopefully you’ll see a spot in there to fill the PSP craving, good sir.

      Hope you get a kick out of Catherine btw, I’m checking it out tonight.

  • Thank you goldenmegazx, it’s reassuring to see someone else waiting for Parasite Eve II too. I’ve been posting here at every update and will continue to until it is released. Since they have already said it’s coming out, if the fans show they want it hopefully they’ll hurry up and keep their word. For anyone who wants to see the press release, it’s here: http://release.square-enix.com/na/2011/03/15_02.html

  • Please add some new dual packs! Also need new information about ps vita really soon… Anyway good job on update made a lot of people happy except me cause I’m not into those games except mod nation racers :-)

  • I REALLY wish you guys would add more storage to the cloud saving. I would be willing to PAY for it. I am a HUGE fan of the WWE games and unfortunately they lock the saves now. Trouble is the saves are HUGE. For WWE 2011 it’s 66 MB for the created wrestlers and 14 MB for the unlocks/options file. Then I have 2010 also which is another 66 + 14 which is already OVER the 150 limit. 500 MB would be plenty or even 1 GB. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!

  • Hope I’m wrong, but pretty sure you have the Swarm price listed incorrectly (again)

  • Wow, Morgan Haro I am very proud of you! There have been so many negatives today but I’ve just read all your comments and you’re really turning negatives into a positive! Keep up the good work n00bie!

  • Finally, new lbp2 dlc. been waiting my glass off.

  • How long do these deals last? Just this week, right?

  • I’ve had my PS3 for about 6 months and was very busy with the great exclusives backlog for the system.

    This sale comes just when I was starting to turn my eyes towards some good PSN games, especially after getting a couple of awesome games for free (Wipeout & Stardust HD) for that Welcome Back thing.

    I’ll be getting 7 of the PS3 games. 50% off is just fantastic. Seriously considering to stay as a PS+ member. Might regret it later but, meh… it’s the same with almost every purchase one makes these days.

    • Glad to have you in the PS3 family! Tons to look forward to, hope you can manage that backlog accordingly =)

  • @itofuman:

    I fully agree with you on all points. Especially concerning Sony’s recent dissatachment with it’s hand held branch (The Playstation Portable & Go.) It just doesn’t make me feel like committing to another Sony hand held system. Especially since I thought (and still believe) the PlayStation Portable Go was an amazing system and included a built in storage of sixten gigabytes. Which is and was amazing considering no other hand held platform had conceived to do, this before (not even Nintendo.) I still have my PSP:2000 (Vader Edition in white) and I don’t have my PSP:1000, and sadly I never did get the oppurtunity to purchase into the PSP:Go, but given the facts I suppose I am glad I could not afford the luxuries. Thank you, bills? (lol)

  • When is the Rockstar Discount coming

  • @TheJak21:

    He is not really “turning” anything into a positive, but much more seems to be brushing off the negativity completly either through ignorance or maybe because, Sony like any other company “ignores” and implies that everything is fine and dandy so, long as there is a sucker to profit from.

    Prime example of the week would be the pricing of Assassins Creed: Brotherhood at forty USD ($39.99) and yet I can go, out and purchase a new “physical” copy for half of that and at a used price for even a bit less no doubt. Yet even given the complaints they kept it at that given price, and people without hesitation “bought” it up without concern. So, to Sony, this is like saying – “why change it?” – and sadly they are correct. Why change it indeed if you know a sucker every minute somewhere will buy it nonetheless?

    The best weapon a consumer has is their “wallet”.

  • ImmortalTechnic_

    All star game today would have been a good time for the rest of the mlb avatars. WHAT THE HELL MAN

  • W-8oRd3rPaTr0l-J

    The only question I’ve wanted answered for the past couple of months is where is Crash Commando. How hard is it to answer the question. I don’t even care if we were lied to. If plus members aren’t getting it anymore, why can’t there just be a post saying, sorry plus users, we won’t be giving you crash commando like originally stated. So many people ask this question and it gets ignored every time. Here join our plus service, but if we promise you something and don’t give it to you, you won’t ever hear anything about it again, that makes sense.

    That is why companies lose so many customers these days, they don’t communicate with them. With all the technology out there, there is no reason for that. It doesn’t make any sense. I don’t care if I’m getting or not getting something, I would just like to know which one it is.

    • While I don’t have any information on this one, rest assured, your comments are heard; but again, the team at large doesn’t have any news to report on this topic. Wish I could be more help!

  • Ready for that Catherine demo. And as a side note, a lot of people’s avatars (myself included) aren’t showing up on the blog. My avatar is the Dissidia Vaan avatar, but it’s blank on here.

  • I want a Harry potter dynamic theme since the last movie to the series is this week :-D

  • I am so happy that the DLC characters for Hard Corps: Uprising are also on discount. I have been waiting for a long time to get Sayuri. =D

  • Dungeons & Dragons Daggerdale

    What’s up with it?

  • Is there any truth to the rumor I’ve read about a PlayStation Store upgrade?

  • Plus discounts should be 66% and the regular discounts should be 50% like they were before plus. Plus is supposed to be a value added service, not taking things that used to be free and putting them behind a pay wall.

  • I’m referring to the Summer Sale. Or at the very least give them seperate sales. Taking the 50% off Summer sales we used to get for free away is a mistake regardless.

  • For anyone consdering Back to the Future, I *HIGHLY* recommend it. The story becomes really hot stuff, and super interesting in the third and fourth episodes. The first episode is lacking in the visual quality, but by episode 3, it’s looking and sounding pretty great.

    I was waiting for PixelJunk Shooter 2 to go on sale, as I found the first one very fun but too short. I’m also going to jump on Chime Super Deluxe and Risk: Factions.

    I really wish Golden Axe was the arcade version, rather than the inferior Genesis version. I know that Backbone has the capability to emulate that hardware (and their other releases, like Gauntlet and Mortal Kombat *are* the original arcade versions), so it’s really disappointing. Thankfully they’re free for Plus, as I wouldn’t pay for something inferior to what I have played for literally over a decade in MAME. Sorry, but trophies online multiplayer are not enough value-add in and of themselves.

  • Well said Rorek. I for one will not spend $40 on a digital game that is much much cheaper to buy physically. Some of you consumers need to get a brain… and Sony, you should be ashamed of yourselves.

  • great update i really want to see more game trials all mine are gone

  • Morgan Haro, eh? Are you sure that’s not a typo, cuz with the amount of comment responses you have posted, I’m surprised your real last name isn’t “Hero.”

    Thank you for responding to so many.

    I’m sure it is appreciated by others as well.

  • For anyone complaining about $40 for AC:B, just buy it in the store if it is a better deal. If it is worth it to someone to have it installed on the their HD or if they don’t want to head out to the store, let them pay the $40. I never understand the “Why so expensive, it is cheaper in the store” argument. If you found it in the store for cheaper, great, go buy it. No one is losing in this scenario.

  • Mega Man Maverick Hunter X for 5 bucks? Might just check it out.

  • i would like to see Megaman Legends in the ps store soon

  • @134 I’m also appreciating Morgan’s responses.

    ++ to what you said

  • please add full games bad company 1 and 2 to the store

  • Capcom dominates this week for me. Mega Man Maverick Hunter X for $4.99 and the Dino Crisis avatar bundle.

  • This is a great update!!

  • *sigh* no updates for me this week, when will you guys bring in more PSone classics? (Hope Gex2:enter the gecko comes out)

  • hey i just wanna know when are we going to have the new maps called annihilation for call of duty black ops on ps3. please let me know thanks

  • Aside from the demo for Catherine, pretty lame yet again. Does Sony really not want me to use this $20 card or what?

    • If nothing moves you this week, check out Limbo next week, as well as the Borderlands Full Bundle that’s hitting the store next week.

  • Just wanna say: Dat math is wonky. Still picked up the Knives Chau DLC for $1.04, but isn’t 50% off $1.99 about four or five cents different (not to mention that $1.99 x 0.70 = ~$1.39).
