will we be seeing more ps2 classics soon and if so by any chance is any of the kingdom hearts games among them?
@Morgan Haro yea i guess so, and the promised content is being met and then the released can kinda be seen as bonus. idk anyways just hoping to see the continuation of great new content in the future
Another lame update. Not a single thing on there that I care about…. minus possibly Darksiders. Even then, why spend $20 & all of a week downloading it when I can just hop in the car & go to Gamestop to pick it up for the same price while being able to share the game with other people in my household? Makes no sense.
Any word on when the Final Fantasy X HD version is coming???
can u please for the ps2 classics add yhe getaway and the getaway 2 i loved those games and wish i could play them now also star wars battle front 2 would be amazing pleeeeease psn pretty pleeeease!!!!
Any chance of Legend of Dragoon, Brave Fencer Musashi, and most importantly, Suikoden II releases as PSOne Classics?????
wow tons of good stuff here !! do you have any knowledge of if magic the gathering 2012 will go on sale or if psn will ever get the yugioh 5-d’s card game for psn thanks.
Hey is there any news on if and when sonic generations is coming on playstation store? also will the ps1 version of the armored core series? I know the asian store has all 3 games since 2009, I have been waiting to see it put up on our store as well. thank you for the games though!
oh yeah!! will plant’s vs zombies be going on sale anytime soon.
Ok… can I ask for a new rule? If your game is launching on PSN and XBLA, and you have to include a demo with the XBLA version because of the nature of that service, you have to do it for PSN. I’m sick of publishers skimping on demos because of what I can only assume is laziness. I like to try my digital games before I buy them, and NFL Blitz is no exception… Pretty please :)
I likey, likey!
Yes ps2 classics should be a priority, like Final Fantasy 12. Even though im waiting forwardto the remake or sequel I would scream if it was on the Playstation store cmon guys!
any chance of getting the motorstorm arctic edge rally car add-on like the UK PSN store?
I was kinda hoping for uncharted 1 and batman arkham asylum to be released as full downloadable games. *sigh* I guess not. *heads to gamestop* Yeah for Metal Gear Solid theme. Now if only you guys could convince kojima to release dynamic themes and MGS4 avis.
<- See Iceman? He's saying "Where is Legend of Dragoon!"
Still unsure why I’m paying for the Plus when most of it is unwanted, pointless, downloads nobody will buy…
33 all ready out wwe12 legend pack
@ 66 how about you shut your cry up deal with it
* sigh *, no info on Vita game digital prices…
No Plus Discount on Blitz?! :sadface:
Probably wait for the inevitable sale, or free Plus copy . . .
Hey Morgan, what resolutions do the PS2 classics play at?
they can scale up to 720
