Sideways got a damn good review on IGN for anyone who is having second thoughts.
was just about to make some purchases on the PSN store earlier, (Festival of Blood being one of them) and my PS3 got the YLOD T_T -while i was browsing the store
Sweet update! I tried out the SideWay: New York demo, loved it! I instantly bought it right away, it also got some good reviews so I recommend it. I aslo pre-ordered InFAMOUS: Festival of Blood to get that out of the way and got a pretty sweet theme, which I can’t wait to play.
@81
Basically you buy the game in advance, get some kind of reward (wether is a theme, DLC to the game, etc.). On the day of release you just go to the PSN store and press download since you already paid for it. It’s like pre-ordering a game at Gamestop almost.
More PS2 games to come soon, right…?
inFAMOUS Festival Of Blood sure buy for me.
It amazes me how I can come here day after day and always end up with a smile on my face. Long Live Play!
I’ll pre-order FOB for the free theme. I was going to buy it at launch anyway so if I can get a free theme along with it, I think it worths pre-ordering. I have a question though: is the free theme a static or a dynamic theme?
I was wondering. Is there going to be Season Passes for shows at anytime? It would be really convenient if so. Just wondering.
GT5 DLC??
Two Worlds 2 expasion when Will it be on psn its already on Xbox live?
when is PayDay: The Heist going to release?
I’d still like to know if the PS2 Classics will run on the PS Vita? Mr. Haro, if you can look into this and maybe get a full blog post together talking about the PS2 Classics line, that would be swell. Cause if so, I’ll probably purchase at least two of them. That’ll help towards hitting that $60 threshold for the month, as you guys are giving me discounts on things I was already going to buy, and dropping the prices on them as well (I thought FOB was going to be $15? But hey, I’m not gonna complain with a + discount price of $8 :D)
Very nice update this week. o.ob
Just pre-order FOB since I’ll be buying it anyway when it comes out.please tell me you will have a Cole avatar that matches the one as the theme
@157 it’s dynamic and pretty sweet if I may say
WOooooohoo more games to play!
Is Guardian Heroes ever coming to the PSN?
A few topics to adress.
1: Do not worry about festival of blood. But get it. I have owned and beaten both InFamous titles. The only thing that looks bad about festival of blood is that it’s short. *Sad Face* I can’t WAIT! :D
2: Any news on Payday: The Heist?
3: Any chance of Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2? I will literally hand you my wallet and give you my money and my gift card to yogurt land for that. I want those on PSN with a passion on like any other! (Mainly because I was such a junkie for them on PS2 Id love to see em on the new console. HD graphics? :D)
I really don’t like this weeks update there wasn’t really much to be excited about (except the Infamous 2 Festival of Blood game and the Video Preview App). But really just nothing interesting and I would really prefer that they release some PS2 classic games that I have heard of and are really known by a lot of people and can we please have come interesting PSOne Classic Please (like Crash Bash and Frogger 1 and 2). And also Sega where is the Sonic Generations Spagonia Demo that has been sweeping the Internet ever since the original demo was hacked!
Yea I would like to know whats going on with the game PAYDAY? I paid for it but i dont have the game.Can someone please give me info on this?
Not so good update…
I’m saving my money for Uncharted 3 and Modern Warfare 3. :)
I was expecting more PS2 Classics too, I would like more RPGs, thank you!
Agree with 171. , I would like more RPGs too this next gen is not so good in rpg…
morgan haro tuesday working scedule; 5:31PM to 5:54PM
HEY SORRY IM IN A MEETING… YEAH RIGHT LIAR!
Grabbed BreakQuest, Sideway (keep reading that as “CD Sideways”), and am glad the RECVX avatars weren’t free after all (somewhat helps validate grabbing the game). May just get that Infamous pre-order.
As for PS2 Classics requests, how ’bout the Xenosaga games? Yeah, Kingdom Hearts would be great, but I’m banking on SQEX HD-porting the FINAL MIXes. The ATV Offroad Fury games would be nice, too, especially the flingtastic freeriding in 2. 3 just faded you back into the field, and 4, Kip it was for my sister and me, did away with freeride. As if we played those games for the racing.
at least will know FOB is 4 pre order and not 2 bad of an ps update
Would they ever release “Black” ps2 game on psn ?
Still waiting on 2 worlds expansion…been waiting all year. Anyone know when it will actually come out?
blah
since theirs PlayStation 2 classics how about adding Rouge galaxy, Dark Cloud 1 and 2 to it?
sideways looks awesome
Wait, PS2 classics are only going to be up for a month after they’re placed in the Store? That’s pretty lame….
Looks like a 100% pass on the update this week… maybe next week will have something I’d like. Then again, maybe not.
Please add more >>> AVATARS <<<< Next update.
Please add Bully to PS2 Classics!
Blood Festival ..!! Please one!
hello,
I’m a normal psn user,if I buy( psn+ and some games) $60,whether i can get $10 back.
hello,
I’m a normal psn user,if I buy psn+ and some games $60,whether i can get $10 back.
When is the next DLC for the downloadable title Test Yourself? I waited all September and one never went up? what happened to adding one every month.
Turn-Based RPGs please. Classics if you must, but you really should get some new games up.
So how can you release Festival of Blood for pre-order when there isn’t even a ESRB rating? I mean, I’d like to know what’s in it before I get it. (But since the world isn’t perfect I pre-ordered anyway,couldn’t resist :-] )
When is FRINGE Season 4 going to be on PS3 Network???????Already 3 episodes and nothing yet?
Please I’d like to know something about the $60 promo. It says you need to spend $60, but most prices aren’t rounded up, for example, if I have $60 in my wallet I use $49.99 to become a PSPlus member and then $9.99 to download Chrono Trigger. That leaves me with 2 cents. Am I stil able to get the $10 bonus in november?
PLEASE Help me with this question.
Dang I wanted my Halloween avatars! I wish you could of gave us a Halloween Dynamic theme… but oh well. Thanks for the freebies! Keep it up!
Do you have to pay the regular price when infamous fob comes out, after u pre-order it.
Any news on the Two Worlds 2: Pirates of the Flying Fortress Expansion?
BRING BACK HALLOWEEN COSTUME QUEST I MISSED THE DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ROARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
