Seriously, can we drop the ban hammer on this guy?
that.guy436 @ Oct 15th 2009 8:22PM
I think I'll be getting the rock band Brutal Legend Pack, and the two Joe Satriani songs.
Matt @ Oct 16th 2009 12:38AM
Now next week they can put Final Fantasy VIII on the US PSN Store so I can find an excuse to spend $10 :D
Dirty @ Oct 15th 2009 8:22PM
That trailer made my dog go nuts. I may just buy it for that reason.
eNrique @ Oct 16th 2009 12:44AM
I just finished downloading it.
It's awesome.
I'ts fun.
And runs at 1080p;
Totally worth the 10 bucks.
And the trophies are a REAL challenge, ala PJ Monsters.
Andrew Yoon @ Oct 15th 2009 8:25PM
Does anyone else get turned on by the giant PS3 and PSP logos we're using for these posts now? Anyone?
rohan @ Oct 15th 2009 8:27PM
I was shocked at first but i think i felt "it" move after that
finalstar @ Oct 15th 2009 8:28PM
Yeah their very cool, i say to keep using them :)
Dr. Bradwart [100% Reagan Conservative!] @ Oct 15th 2009 8:29PM
Well, they ARE rather attractive...
The_Punisher @ Oct 15th 2009 8:39PM
Oh, definitely. Very sexy.
PR0F3TA (PSN - PROPHETA) @ Oct 15th 2009 8:49PM
i do! i was just thinking that too... i bet there were dozen of suits in a meeting trowing logos around to see which font made it look great, they chose a good one
Yingerman @ Oct 15th 2009 8:52PM
i came 4 times!
Markez (attempting to call me less of a man because i knew so much about pans) @ Oct 15th 2009 8:59PM
Yoon, if you're disappointed that anyone isn't, you could hand out some of those prosthetic boners I heard talked about on one of the last podcasts. That way it'd at least SEEM like everyone was.
Just a thought.
sony boy (6 years til sony man child!) @ Oct 15th 2009 9:26PM
yo andrew, why do you keep posting midnight club there???
TreND @ Oct 15th 2009 9:34PM
¡HOT!
killdash9 @ Oct 16th 2009 3:08AM
I might if I did not normally surf with images turned off.
Even so, though, I still don't like the new PS3 logo font. I understand it has a more "family friendly" vibe, with the less threatening curves, but I'd rather it shared the PS2/PSP logo font, for that "family unity" vibe.
Hashbrown Hunter (OneGiantCluster.blogspot.com) @ Oct 16th 2009 5:42AM
I looked at the new signs and I JIZZED IN MY PANTS.
It was rather unfortunate actually.
Autobot @ Oct 16th 2009 7:20AM
They do look awesome but the cases are UGLY.
Josh @ Oct 16th 2009 12:14PM
You guys are weird.
IcelandTerrorist (stormtrooper190) @ Oct 16th 2009 3:14PM
Mmmm.
rohan @ Oct 15th 2009 8:26PM
I was thinking if i should pick up R&C for 14.99, i was about 2 but i got battlefield, fat princess and critter crunch with 22$ still left over and now that it is 9.99 im sold! im downloading it as i type this =D
that.guy436 @ Oct 15th 2009 8:31PM
That's awesome. I downloaded the game a while back when it was $9.99 for a week. And it's a great game.
brettjr @ Oct 15th 2009 8:31PM
I suggest you guys head to the EU store for their update if you like themes. You get two dynamic ones for free: Wipeout (REALLY COOL) and a motor storm artic one.
I got 9.99 Ratchet and Clank from Amazon because I thought I was getting a deal (chuckle) but it's nice to see it drop on the PSN as well. I'm going to go check and see if this hotshot golf dlc is worth it or not.
XLM @ Oct 15th 2009 10:03PM
+1 Thanks for the tip!
CrashSpyro123 @ Oct 15th 2009 10:17PM
Those are old. They appeared on there about two weeks ago at least.
nevin1 @ Oct 15th 2009 8:33PM
i wish there was a PSP demo of NBA 2K10
tmacairjordan87 @ Oct 15th 2009 8:35PM
I guess the Ratchet and Clank ACiT demo's coming next thursday then, as they said it'd be out before the game :\
JeremyR @ Oct 15th 2009 8:43PM
Wow, Sony is really rolling out those minis.
I don't understand, that mahjong one (which I want to buy) has been released in Europe and has already been rated by the ESRB. What's the hold-up?
No Kill Tayler @ Oct 15th 2009 8:47PM
Sony, where's my half-minute hero?
cylet @ Oct 15th 2009 9:02PM
yeahhh where's half minute hero!?
JeremyR @ Oct 15th 2009 9:05PM
Next week (better than never)
Levi @ Oct 16th 2009 1:09AM
It's on UMD this week, which is the way everyone without a Go should buy it, since it'll be the same price. I'm buying it on UMD for my phat.
mahouneko @ Oct 16th 2009 4:45AM
Half-Minute Hero is loads of silly awesome fun. I'm sure that a lot of people who have played Zelda and whatnot will really enjoy it. Especially Hero 30 mode.
Yingerman @ Oct 15th 2009 8:53PM
someone tell me how good mushroom wars is. Is it worth $10? i love tower defense and i think this looks like a pretty good 1.
JohnMazz @ Oct 15th 2009 8:54PM
Why is Mushroom Wars a rip off of the fantastic indie-game, Dyson? http://www.dyson-game.com/
Vidikron @ Oct 15th 2009 9:43PM
That seems like a bit of a stretch.
Levi @ Oct 16th 2009 1:10AM
You could've picked something way closer, say, PixelJunk Monsters, a game that has near identical style graphics and music, as well as similar gameplay...
Lurker28 @ Oct 16th 2009 5:35AM
Similar gameplay....what the balls, did you even fucking play the game. It is not a tower defense game at all.
JohnMazz @ Oct 16th 2009 10:12AM
Well, from the look of that video, it looked very similar... How else would I have come up with that name, they're nothing alike otherwise. Can any of you who will be playing mushroom wars, try dyson and report back.
dlem28 @ Oct 15th 2009 9:02PM
I keep wondering why these PSN updates seem to come later and later each week. It's 9pm on the east coast.
Reuben @ Oct 15th 2009 9:15PM
I feel the same way. I wish we can get a definite time, or a reason for delays, or even a list of what's coming before it gets here
Kinsey @ Oct 16th 2009 12:59AM
I think the idea of the updating on Thursdays is too make sure new content is available for all day Friday and the weekend.
HDpurist @ Oct 15th 2009 9:04PM
Boring updates this week for both systems.
....and the prices on those psp games....what a friggin joke.
Kodros @ Oct 15th 2009 9:19PM
"UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves Behind The Scenes: Technology and Gameplay"
I HATE when put content that you have to unlock in the game up on PSN.
Vidikron @ Oct 15th 2009 9:45PM
Yeah, what's up with that? I just bought some of those with my in-game money.
Jonathan @ Oct 15th 2009 10:43PM
I don't understand why people have problems with these types of DLC. Why do you care? You don't have to buy it if you like the game. However, if you're renting it or just don't want to put the time in, you can pay to have everything unlocked. What's the harm in that?
Vidikron @ Oct 16th 2009 2:15AM
@Jonathan
You seem confused. First off, these are free downloads. There's no cost and they simply aren't unlock keys for content in the game. They're just videos you download. But they're also on the game disc that people paid to own and they're locked until you spend some of your in-game earnings on unlocking them. This sort of makes that completely pointless because they're being given away for free without even owning the game. No, I don't really think it's a big deal, but it does seem odd and a bit annoying. Just because we comment on it doesn't mean we're about to put together a boycott or something else crazy.
Coogan @ Oct 15th 2009 9:51PM
Are they gonna put a demo of Uncharted 2 back in the store? I got the beta demo but it was expired and the website keeps saying get the Uncharted 2 demo.
I didn't play the first game and I want to play the demo of the second game before I throw my cash down to get the whole game.
CaramelZappa @ Oct 16th 2009 1:17AM
Uncharted 2's demo was just multiplayer, didn't relaly give you a feel of how the campaign is. You could play the first games single player demo to get some idea, but just keep in mind th second game is similar, but better in every way.
garnsr @ Oct 15th 2009 9:58PM
.detuned is sort of interesting, and easy trophies, not too bad for 3 bucks.
