Downloading my BF3 bets now! Yay, can’t wait!
Splinter Cell collection?! Hello?
Ahh.. At last, the Store Update. Thanks Sony!
Eh, PS Store hasnt updated for me yet
@ 51 its there look at the Special Offers area
Wow, I’m so excited…. now only if you could give us the BF3 beta early access we were promised.
The Tiger Woods 12 price is hillarious at 60 dollars as it retails at stores for 39.99 / 49.99 (depending on your area) new right now.
WHERE IS MY BATTLEFIELD BETAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And P.S. The BF3 EARLY Beta is for people who pre-ordered MOH, & everyone else who did not, the BF3 OPEN Beta will be on THURSDAY the 29th!
Battlefield 3 beta?? Anyone??
The open Battlefield 3 beta starts on the 29th. if you have redeemed a Medal of Honor: Limited Edition or Tier 1 Edition Online Pass, you will receive early access via a personal email invitation from DICE that includes 48-hour early access, which will allow you to start playing on September 27th.
The PS Store is taking longer to update than usual. I’m counting on the MK9 1.05 patch today =/
That Rochard demo looks like it’s worth a try!
Definitely give Rochard a shot, I was pleasantly surprised =)
Nevermind, I see it now! Hurray!
@57,
Unless you have Medal of Honor LE/Tier 1, you are gonna have to wait til the 29th.
@Playstation,
Amazing update. Simply amazing. September has been an extremely good month.
Any word on when we’ll get the remaining Dissidia Duodecim DLC? The U.S. still didn’t get a chance to download the Squal or Gilgamesh costumes yet.
Sorry, no info on DLC for Duodecim
Thanks for the Uncharted 2 hook up. Unexpected surprise.
“STILL NO “WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE” VID-GAME YET.
Ok I have Medal of Honor LE yet I can’t get the Beta it says my account can’t access the beta for download… So I have a huge list of Battlefield 3 Beta codes revealed during the gamescom show and now I get an error code while redeeming them and they haven’t been used because you get a different message when the code has been used…
splinter cell is in the store just checked. so happy right that its DL’n
YES!!! FREE stuff for uncharted 2 !!!!!! too bad my plus is gone in a few weeks lol
free uncharted stuff pays for it…again lol
….when did it become acceptable to take the background music out of a game and sell it separately? (I’m referring to Atelier Totori)
Battlefield Beta and Splinter cell HD collection are both there. you have to SEARCH for them. FYI the front page has not been updated, just the content!!
The ton of Uncharted avatars are nice. The U2 add-ons are kinda too late to be that appealing but it’s better than not having them.
Castlevania HOD with all the DLC combined you pay for the game around, what, 50 bucks? srsly, konami??
Thank you for all the U2 content!!
Glad you dig it! Great way to prepare for UC3 in Novemeber =)
Castlevania: Harmony Of Despair $15 +Add-ons?! =0 kinda expensive, but I need it
my bf3 code from gamespot doesn’t work. Does anyone know when we can use? Thought it would be now
I definitely want Castlevania, but not for $15, not to mention the price of the add-ons. I’ll wait for it to go on sale, thank you very much. Everything goes on sale eventually.
eh, nothing good. I bought Colossus/Ico today though as well as the Uncharted premium AMC pass.
@75 You need to go to the Battlefield website and enter that code. Then you will get another code.
yeea i got my email from EA saying im invited to the battlefield 3 beta since i played medal of honor a long time ago sweeeeet!!!
Wow you plus members get a dynamic COW theme . . . .
jelly? XD
Took you long enough! The UK people already had the BF3 beta since morning! -_- Why this late for us?!! Thanks for stealing us precious hours of the beta…
im guessing your not gonna have ico and shadow of the colossus hd for download on the psn
Great Update with all that Uncharted 2 content, very awesome!
But on the NEW Video Unlmited Preview, us PS Plus members are gettiing, what are we getting during this special 2 week head start on everyone else???
Will we be able to watch anything we want, FOR FREE, during this “Preview”?
Thank you and I, we all look forward to your reply.
Downloading BF3 beta. Can’t wait. :)
Early access to BF3 beta here I come! can’t wait to play it!
Downloading the Battlefield 3 beta!!! hope it works, i also bought the fallout new vegas content gun runners arsenal with the last 5 bucks in the account. Last week i bought lonesome road.
really looking forward to resident evil code veronica x played it on the dreamcast was a great game then im sure its better now in HD with trophies. Love the psn plus
Bought time sony!!! BF3 beta was suposed to be up a long time ago! some much for our 48 hours.
but glad its here cant wait to play!!!!!!!!!!
more and more reason’s why PS PLUS needs to go bye bye!
Nuff Said!
Why isn’t the splinter cell HD trilogy not split into each individual game as well as the full pack? I don’t want the whole pack I only want Chaos Theory…
Any word on FF6?
when i try to download the bf3 beta i get an error saying “this content cannot be accessed on your account”. whats the deal?
Damn. No discount for Castlevania and still none for Burnout Crash to give to + members. I won’t be renewing.
Not all games can get the discount, but this week has a 50% RE CV discount and 20% Rochard discount. With future Day 1 discounts planned, you never know what you might miss
@78
that doesn’t sound right. The code I got from gamespot is exactly the same as what you would put in a regular psn code. xbox didn’t have to do that. theres no place on bf site to put in ps3 codes. what is up with this?
When will warhawk be on sale? please reply i really liked the trail and i want to play it and finish it before starhawk ;-)
Thanks for the Rochard discount. Unexpected savings is always good.
@89
yeah this is stupid. Its supposed to be 48 hour access, and we get way less time to play compared to xbox and pc.
This is a nice rounded update.
Really anxious to know the state of Crono trigger & Final Fantasy though.
