Hi Everyone –
PS Store

Spring Fever takes a surprise victory lap with the addition of Wheels of Destruction to the roster. This fast paced dose of manic car mayhem puts you in the driver’s seat as you take down your enemies using a slew of different weapons vehicles. Choose from multiple car classes like Assassin, Heavy, and Scout, and then put the pedal to the metal to try and be the last road warrior standing. PlayStation Plus subscribers can hop into this new release for 20% off on the day it debuts on PSN.

As if Wheels of Destruction wasn’t enough of an adrenaline rush, Spring Fever is keeping the meter in the red (blood red that is) with this week’s franchise sale of Mortal Kombat games and add-ons. The awesome Mortal Kombat DLC and classic MKs you know and love will be set on fire, covered in acid, and finally put on sale for 30% off.PlayStation Plus subscribers score a flawless victory with an over the top 50% discount.

  • awsome plus freebies x) and i’m loving the DMC3 avatars

  • @86, lame joke. Did you just create an account to try your hand at comedy? You don’t have a single trophy; say it ain’t so.

  • Why doesnt PS+ sale prices appear on my Vita.
    I overpaid for something that was cheaper on my PS3 with PS+ discount.
    Doesn’t make sense.

  • Any news of YouTube coming to PS Vita yet?

  • Loving the early updates. Thanks guys.

  • Thank you :) Are the Free minis available for vita as well?

  • awesome update but sony if you could this is my wishlist for games in the playstation network in the future

    mortal kombat trilogy ps1
    metal gear solid vr missions ps1
    dragon ball z budokai tenkaichi 3 ps2
    yugioh forbidden memories ps1

    “Can anyone comment on why PSP games are being REMOVED instead of added to the store?”

    perhaps some people were able to exploit something in the system using those games? don’t know… it’d be the only reason i can think of, and it’s happened before.

  • “Why doesnt PS+ sale prices appear on my Vita.
    I overpaid for something that was cheaper on my PS3 with PS+ discount.
    Doesn’t make sense.”

    so then buy those items from your PS3 with the PS+ discount and then just transfer it over.

    ° Cross chat platform between ps vita an ps3 users

    —-

    *sigh* for the last time: cross chat will *never* be possible for the PS3. it’s on the vita, be happy you have it at all.

  • The demo for I Am Alive isn’t working for me either. Is this a problem to those that actually bought the game? I’m weary of purchasing a game that doesn’t work.

  • Is PSN making Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City avatars?

  • @ + ziggurcat

    I had already shopped on my Vita because that’s my cool new system.
    Doesn’t make sense that prices are different on the same PSN store that share the same account/wallet.

    Especially for PS+ members who don’t own a PS3.

  • @ HMS_Vitanic. If your going to be an @$$hole at least get better material. HMS Vitanic? I am guessing you didn’t put much thought in that joke did you? Don’t quit your day job.

  • The Spring sales so far has been an utter shame :-(

  • I haven’t been all that satisfied with my Plus sub, but this is a pretty good update. Shank 2 is something I’ve been wanting to play. Sly Cooper was a GREAT free game, but I already owned it. If you put Jak 2 for free on Plus then I’d be very pleased!!

  • Spring fever sales is worse than regular sale…

  • One thing Sony could do to help support Twisted Metal would be to create then offer TM avatars for free. Nearly 2 months out and the multiplayer still doesn’t run smoothly…

  • When are we getting the Skype app?

  • @109

    I bought I Am Alive, the full version, and I was playing it fine last night.

  • Anyone else having a problem with NFS Shift 2? It says free game I downloaded it but it’s treating it like a game trial.Meaning I only get 60min of play time.A little help Sony?

  • @118 thanks. I might risk it because I’ve been kinda looking forward to this….seems like a decent game for the price just worried it won’t work. I would love it if they fixed the demo though as I’m not the first to notice it.

  • You guys are doing a great job! Congrats! But I want to know about the games with the simulview technology, if you are developing any game to the psn with simulview, because there are only 6 games with this technology! So about this any development?

  • islankleinknecht

    Why the heck isn’t Canabalt playable on the Vita?!

  • Any chance we will see Hot Shots Golf 2 on sale ?

  • It would be so good if all the pages had questions answered! Details are also well-accpedted about future updates and releases. Plase, guys :D

  • Do you guys know if the Devil May Cry games, 1,2 and 3 from the DMC HD
    collection will be uploaded to the PS Store in the near future? If so, will they
    still be playable on an SD TV?

    Thanks!

  • Xenosaga 1-3
    ps1 games
    ps2 games
    ps1 to vita
    ps2 to vita
    more psp to vita games

    honestly im still waiting to be impressed by all of the listed… the xenosaga’s i was told BY Sony that they would be up on the psn this year… where are they?

  • Shank 2 is really fun. I didn’t know the game was like this i really enjoy it. I hope we keep getting games like this that are fun to play. For anyone else that picked up shift 2 unleashed if you played it on the Blu ray disc does that game save work with this digital version?

  • Oh yeah and the stripe shift dynamic theme is not on the store by the way.

  • @129 (saab01) Any digital games data is the same as it’s blu-ray counterpart. Also when you play an hour long demo of a downloaded game then buy it on disc. It will carry over everything. Cool right?

  • I’m fairly upset after buying Mortal Kombat brand new within the first few months that the new characters cost me money. Things are all backwards.

  • WOW…I Am Alive!! I can download it…wow had no idea it was on the store!! Going to be buy this for sure!!

    Playstation for life

  • but still need to beat silent hill 2 and 3 then beat I Am Alive!

  • man WHAT IS UP WITH THE VITA already… we get an update then a re-update and its not even worthwhile i mean really? thers like 2-3 little behind the scenes fixes.. im loving the vita but jeez uncharted has no multiplayer the game lineup is not really all that great although thers many games… come on sony give us what we were promised not this *soon* garbage
    at the very least let us play ps1 classics on the vita already… and update the friggin store thers NOTHING on the vita store just lame games and demos… and bearly any worthwhile psp games… what a ripoff im over hear defending the vita to people saying its worthless because i know its potential and everything but we still dont have anything we were promised… from a full psn store update (psp games minis etc) to ps1 games remote play ps3 games or how about ps2 games? come on sony push that vita

    VIVA LA VITA!!!

  • Ok sony. We have all been asking for more PSOne and PS2 classics. Where are they?
    We want GOOD top of the line classics. Dont add nuggets to the collection like that tak 2 game added to PS2 classics… we want GOOD games.

  • Btw to people wondering, I am alive only froze my system for me when i went into the XMB menu in game. Perhaps since it was in development since 2008, they might of not fully of interigated support for the XMB after the 2008 XMB update came out for in game XMB. Who knows. Just dont go into the XMB and skip the intro.

  • great update; love the plus games for this week; can’t wait to renew my year subscription

  • So ummmm i don<t want to annoy anyone but, why do i still get 80023102 errors? Can Someone be kind enough to reply please?

  • Still no Armored Core 5? I’ve got friends waiting on that :<

  • I’m with #135 !!

    What’s happening with your “beloved” PSVita ?? You wanted to sell it, telling us a lot of “promises”, and once we bought them, you are simply “passing” !!!
    What the F*** is this ??

    I’m totally disapointed with the updates and with the treatment you’re giving to Psvita’s owners.
    Of course, for ps3 owners is perfect… (I have 2 ;D), but try to give Psvita’s owners something !!

    I’ll hope that in the next updates you think in us ^_^U.

    Cheers

  • I love having PS+! I used to have NFS Shift 2 but sold it, I’ve been missing it ever since! And now that its free for PS+ members, that’s great for me! I would love to see NFS Hot Pursuit for free up there soon! That was a great game! For the people that missed out on it could have a chance to jump in and play the awesomeness that’s inside that game!

  • I am alive demo causing ps3 freezing/crashing Is there going to be an update for this demo or should I give up hope to playing I am alive. Cause right now I am alive is really dead.

  • Is MK Vs. DCU worth getting for $10? I love MK9 and missed getting MKDCU when it was new. would it be hard to go back?

  • I bought a PS Vita the first day it was available and to my disappointment there is no ps one classics to play nor can i download any psp games i had purchased from my old system. There are not many games for it as well. When are we going to be able to if ever download are already purchased ps one and psp games for the vita?

  • When will GTA: Liberty/Vice City Stories be available in the PS Vita US Store?, I heard they are available in de UK Store since a long time. Why aren’t they available in the US Store yet?

  • i live in EU i dont get all that stuff i really want that devil may cry Avatars
