- Late April: PixelJunk Monsters Encore (expansion pack)
- Early May: Echochrome
- May: Elefunk
- Late May / early June: WipEout HD
Spring PSN lineup dated
46
Sony recently showed off near-final builds of its next wave of original PSN games, and even committed to release time frames, according to MTV Multiplayer. Though weekly releases on the PS Store are largely kept behind the big, black curtain until showtime, it appears that Sony is trying to steal some attention away from the recent bevy of WiiWare boloney "buildup" and the well-oiled Xbox Live Arcade machine by generating previews of its own. So how 'bout those dates:

WipEout HD FTW. I can't wait for that game, what with me rocking a PS3 now (finally). Echochrome also looks pretty good.
Oh, and, erm, one piece of shovelware does not a 'boloney' service make. I'm planning on enjoying Dr. Mario & Virus Buster and StarSoldierR, among others, just as much as I plan on enjoying WipEout HD.

Are they gonna release Wipeout HD on blu-ray? As I do not have a credit card right now. Don't really want one.
Or is there a release date on PSN cards?

Supposedly, (according to Dylan Jobe), the PSN cards are coming very soon.
He even went so far as to say he's "seen" them already.

I remember PS3 Fanboy had pictures of the cards... I'm sure we'll here something about them at E3.

Do what I do, just use one of those "credit card" like gift cards from MasterCard or Visa, and pack your wallet with the amount on the card in the PS store.

blah blah blah blah blah blah MS's lame DRM blah blah.
Is it gonna be the same thing every time ya post dude? No offense, of course, but it's a bit unsettling to see that this is basically copypasta from the last article you posted in, and I'm not calling you a troll but we already have way too many of 'em lurking around here.

Well since the Wipeout HD rumor came true I guess this means we could see Killzone 2 in Sept.

actually, EON made a comment after Downie on the PS Forums, stating that they don't confirm nor deny that release date...so yah, there still hope for it.

Seriously. Same unfunny, repetitive, angry 12-year-old comments in every PS3 thread. You would think a PS3 fell of a table and crushed his Snoopy Sno Cone machine, and this is his meager revenge...

I feel bad for trolls honestly. They pick one system and miss out on all the games on the other consoles.

Echnochrome looks amazing as is Pixel junk Monsters (albeit hard as hell)... I can't decide to get Echnochrome on PSP or PSN... Probably go for PSN b/c it will probably be cheaper...

Agreed on PSN comparison to XBLA, but it is too early to compare it to WiiWare. We still have to wait what Nintendo has in their sleeves. I don't see anything special in their virtual console all of old games can be found in roms sites and more (Chrono Trigger).
All Sony have to do to enhance their online infrastructure a little bit more and soon it is going to pwn XboxLive

BLA may be the best online service, but PSN has the best IPs.
