PSN Thursday: Zen and the art of cheating at Poker

Pretty decent update this week. Not only is Bionic Commando Rearmed half price, but Rag Doll Kung Fu is now completely free. There are also some new games in the form of Texas Cheat Em, Zen Pinball and two PS1 titles. Of course, there's also a bunch of DLC and a smattering of trailers and themes. PSP fans can grab the excellent Pursuit Force: Extreme Justice for a slightly inflated price of $23. But at least it's digital.

its not free for me... still says 9.99.

u need to make a US account to get it, Canada is out the loop (still pretty much the same thing, i make a US account just for it =D)

greaaaat. That will bring me up to 6 PSN accounts now haha.

Yeah, I just made my third one so I could download that. xD

freeeeeeeeeeee im downloading now =]

I just bought Rag Doll Kung-Fu like, two weeks ago.

So angry.

not sure yet but the game does not have online

YEah, I was thinking about that when I read the PlayStation Blog. Sucks for early adopters. It's not like the drop in price for Bionic Commando, which has been out for like six months. Rag Doll Kung Fu isn't very old.

damn thats stupid I brought it the day it came out played it for 30mins with a bunch of ppl and then we switched to SFIV followed by some Tatsunoko vs. Capcom... I ain't touched it since >_>

First and im gonna go download Rag Doll Kung Fu right now tog et more trophies woot!

wow, how can u not see those people in front of u ??

xD You fail at life.

Cause douche-bags who cry out "first" heads are stucked up their own asses.....

you failed by a total of 3 people.If is any consolation you still would have failed even if you were first.

Psshh...I already bought ragdoll Kung fu. So I supported sony by buying stuff off the psn store, and I get nothing but the people that didn't gets a free game.

Anyways, I'm glad they aren't slowing down on the ps1 classics.

Oh, and the pinball game was a pleasant suprise, felt really authentic.

You got a game when it came out while Sprint gets to advertise whatever they're doing now on PSN to let everyone else have it for nothing.

You got to play the game before many other people did.It's like you buying a PS3 game when it comes out even thought it will become a greatest hits eventually.

:/. Hmm...I guess you have a point

"You got to play the game before many other people did.It's like you buying a PS3 game when it comes out even thought it will become a greatest hits eventually."

That usually takes more than a month to happen, though.

Glad I didn't spend $10 on Ragdoll Kung-Fu! I'd be pissed right now...

Awesome- a gorgeous, free apartment and a great, free game!

Picked up KOF'99, too. My first downloaded PSOne title of many, once the Capcom games start rolling out... :D

The game is free not because of Sony but because of Sprint.

Free game? Yes please!

Awesome update!

glad i put off buying rag doll, i almost got a couple weeks ago.

Spyro3 and KOF will be first as well as Rag Doll which I almost bought two days a go but forgot to.Hopefully there will be PS1 titles every week.

Wasn't planning on ever getting ragdoll kung fu, but since its going for the whoppin price of FREE.99!!....I think I might just take a look at it, and it has trophies? (wow...its not even my birthday). Not sure about goin back to KOF99, I've got it for my PSX, PC, DC and PS2....but keep the good PS1 games coming.

"FREE.99!!"

You FAILED at math and english I'm guessing?

No....you "FAIL" at slight humour and common sense. There is no such thing as $free.99 as an amount you can pay or count. The item is just free. The rest was for shits n' giggles.....loosen up miss.

WTF I PAID FOR IT

goddammit i want my money back.

or flower

How do you create a US account for us poor Canadians? We like free games too...

Just make a new PS3 profile and make a new PSN account for it. You can choose the US as your country. In fact, I think it's the default. :P

Thank you sprint for the free game. I will be considering all your products. I hope other companies follow your approach towards potential customers.

Thank god I didn't buy Bionic Commando last night. I was thinking about it, but ended up buying Noby Noby Boy instead cause it was $5 (and after playing it, I kinda want my money back). Hopefully during E3 and after there's lots of PSN games and PS1 games, because I took the wii money and put it on there so I got like $180 to spend :P

ahh, so no wii? so what's happening to the wii games you already bought? re-gifting perhaps? lol

Nope I traded those in and got Little Big Planet and Crackdown (to prepare for Infamous I guess)

lbp is a good choice. and i didn't even know crackdown was out right now haha.

great update on all fronts. good job sony. good job.

Haven't turned on my PS3 in a couple of months. It's definitely getting fired up today!

PS3? Don't you mean brain?

Seriously. WTF? I guess I'm voted down (and stupid of course) for not using my PS3 since I beat Killzone 2?

Sorry I don't use my PS3 as much as rabid fanboys do.

Sorry for not being smart enough to spend my life devoted to one machine.

We cool now?

I've been putting off getting bionic commando rearmed and rag doll kung fu (I was close to getting both of them not too long ago)

I guess procrastination is beneficial :)

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. I almost bought them both a few weeks ago but I didn't. Sony has convinced me that it's a good idea to never buy a PSN game again. 8)

I can't tell you how many times this gen I've gotten burned b/c I couldn't wait. -_- lol

Bought Bionic Commando last night, damn you Capcom!

why's ragdoll being offered for free? and is that offer only temporary?

Probably because it did not sell well? Maybe positive word of mouth will push its sales when it's not free anymore. I'm getting it!

It's a promotion. It's being sponsored by Sprint. They're not throwing the game to the wolves. :P

king of fighters (99) YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYYAA

that being said i like '98 better, but beggers can't be choosers
