  • Now that Madden is out, and you have this NFL Sunday Ticket thing going, maybe you could release say 24 of the 32 NFL team avatars and see if you can screw with NFL fans like you’ve done MLB fans this season.

  • kotaku.com says the RDR myths & mavericks add-on is on the store…..is it??

  • Guess we need to face the fact that Sony just don’t give a **** that we want PSone classics. Begging them to bring PSone games we want is futile. I give up and head back to my Xbox 360. Take care Sony.

  • Any news about Castlevania Harmony of Despair?

  • @ Sony and Insomniac

    Thanks for considering those of us with kids who play games. If my son now wants to play online its gonna cost me extra money for him to go into his room in our house and enjoi the game.

    Are you willing to take the steps EA has taken and assure people like me with families who game that we will only need to pay the $60 for the game once and then we can all play the game with all of its features ?

    Didnt think so….

    Thanks again from
    A Middle Income Father your trying to rape

  • online pass whiners are the new cross game chat babies

  • @TriangleOffense,

    You only need 1 code per PS3 for Resistence 3. Way to overreact when you don’t know what you are talking about.

  • @104 If your son has an account on the main PS3 and the PS3 in his room, I am pretty sure he can activate the online pass for Resistance on both PS3s (up to 5, just like when you download a game). No need to pay two times.

  • *Resistance 3

  • Another dumb update, getting tired of Playstation Network, Switching to PC. Far better graphics and better online game play. battlefield 3 on PC is going to murder PS3 in graphics and number of players in game. If any ones want a beta key for battlefield 3 when its available I will give them mine.

  • could we have all the ps2 ratchet and clanks remade on a blu-ray disk with full trophy support,full move support, and be playable in full 3D.

  • could we get a section on ps store that allows us to download all free items available to plus members, and could the system do this during automatic upload.

  • Bottom of the 9th, SONY down by 1 run, PSN up to bat, Weekly update on 1st base. PSN points to the stands….CRACK !!!!!! HOME RUN, HOME RUN !!!! PSN saves the day.
    C’MON people, there is so much to be excited about this week.
    Bloodrayne: Betrayal is getting great reviews across all channels, also we see plenty of PSP love with , MEGA MAN 4 import, Blazblue: Calamity Trigger & Guilty Gear XX all on sale. PSP owners should be at peace this week.
    Vanguard II is also one of my favorite old school arcade games, pick it up.
    For all the non buyers, there is also a healthy number of demos, GOW:ORIGINS stands out for me the most. I need to see if I should get this on PS3 or get the psp versions.
    For the 3rd week in a row, the winners are PS+ members. Altered beast/ Jet Moto/Plants vs Zombies & Astro Tripper all free, plus all those 20%-40% sales on select games. This is such a good week for you members. Suck it all up.
    There are much more stuff on this update that needs mentioning, and it seems that sony is listining to our complaints, so im going to give this week’s PSN update a review score of 4.5/5. This is well desirved.
    As always gamers, Keep On Gamin.

  • Very much looking forward to all of Septembers updates. Can’t wait for the Resident Evil stuff, especially the HD remakes !

  • @ 21 jeffsmitter
    i want R & C remakes and a dual pack for PS3 versions as well.
    also Jak and Daxter remake.

  • Why was the Call Of Duty Sale taken down? I bought a PSN card just for the MW2 map packs. Never mind then…

  • With Dino Crisis being on sale last week, I was hoping Dino Crisis 2 would be on sale this week. Ah, well.

  • Another week with nothing new on the psp… granted these sale are nice for people who may not own the game (i own most of the games listed in the sale) again its a shame to see such little support for a wonderful system. its makes me doubtful if you guys will actually take the Vita seriously, or just treat it like the psp.

    Aside from that PS+ seems nice. was really wanting to play Plants vs Zombies, and now i get it for free, hopefully more games like this come out for PS+. i can finally say for once being a part of PS+ im glad i finally got something i wanted. Lets just hope this isnt some one off deal, and more updates to come will be this good.

  • This is what makes me proud to be a PS+ Member!

    I’m really looking forward to download the Plants vs. Zombies game, and also the AC: Revelations beta.

    Shame that I haven’t gotten the time to download that. :(

  • Legend. Of. Dragoon.

    God dang it, Sony. GIVE US IT you jerks.

  • very nice update!

  • Plants vs Zombies!!!

  • @116, Dino Crisis 2 is only $5.99 ! C’MON, if thats not good enough, then what is ? smh

  • That was a pretty sweet update from where I’m standing!

  • Bloodrayne is tits, buy it.

  • when will Castlevania Harmony of Despair be available?

  • It has been said that Castlevania Harmony of Despair will come out at the end of the summer in September so….. who knows probably the last Tuesday or w/e else day they update …. :|….. I don’t blame Sony, I blame Konami and their horrible inability to give actual release dates.

  • Great Update !!!

  • Ok I’m sick of all the crappy Megaman games and I HATE the fact that 9 and 10 were done in the “retro” 8 bit style. I’m a long time fan of megaman series as well. When the hell are you going to put the GOOD Megaman games on the store? I’m talking:

    Megaman 7+8
    Megaman X series
    Megaman Zero series.

    Sick of the 8 bit crap.

  • Crash bash as a ps1 classic PLEASE

  • oh yeah! here’s a good month to be a plus subscriber! first, the discounted bloodrayne and plants vs zombies. next up: the resident evil collection! awesome!

  • GGXXAC+L is tempting…

  • EU got Dead Space 2 long ago, When are we getting it..?

  • Btw Great Update ! ;)

  • Carysoko

  • I think that the video quality of episode 40 of Qore was very poor, compared to former episodes.

  • Really? I personally very much enjoyed learning about Amy Hennig’s process.

  • Will there be NFL Team Avatar’s coming soon? …such as my MLB Yankees avy…

  • You guys need to make Adam Jensen Avatars !!! =D

  • Another “Online Pass”

    screw this. I WILL NEVER BUY THIS, NOR YOUR GAME BECAUSE OF THIS.

    oh well.

  • Pretty good listing this time but they really need to step it up with those PSOne Classics im mean there used to be at leased four every week and the were always great but now we’re lucky to get even one and its not always good. Wheres the Crash Bash and Frogger i used to spend hours on end playing

  • Nice to see another PS1 import.

  • Sweet update this week, grabbed all the freebies. Not too thrilled with Altered Beast, guess nostalgia would have to be a factor. However, I loved PvZ on PC, and on XBLA, and now I’ll play it again on PSN!

    Looking forward to trying Jet Moto as well – never played it, and been hesitating on purchasing it for months now.

  • I am a huge crash bandicoot fan, but I have never gotten into Crash Bash. Something about he game, it just did nothing for me. I will give it a try again if it is released on psn.
    For the person asking for all the mega man titles. I guess you missed the sale on MM:MAVERICK HUNTER X, I think it was discounted to $5.99. Check psn, it may still be there.
    And with the online pass thing. you do know that If you purchase the game new ” YOU DO NOT NEED TO PURCHASE THE ONLINE PASS “. The online pass is only for someone that buys the game second hand ie-Gamestop. Hope you understand the concept of online pass….Keep On Gamin.

  • when did resistance retatbution for the psp get dropped in price and how long will that be someone plz asnwer

  • I’d ratchet have the Ratchet & Clank All 4 One beta than the Assassin’s Creed beta, to be honest. :|

    Any chance/date for a US beta? Europe got lucky this time. :(

  • @145 your best bet is to get it the week you see it on sale. Most times the sale only last for 1 week.
    Plus, the game is awesome.

  • iight thanks onslaughtree i will wait till thurs as i may be gettin a new psn card im debatin on that or bloodrayne sadly cant get both with 1 psn card i already have on my account

  • aww no Deus Ex: Human Revolution avatar? :(
    btw Cladun this is an rpg should get a discount, it is just weird seeing both games at the same price O.o still nice update!

  • If you get Resistance 3 new you dont need an online pass right
