PSN Thursday: The time for Trine
After a "last-minute bug" delayed its PSN release back in July, with a hold-up in quality assurance in September, it appears that it's finally time for tryin' Trine. Then again, with the way Critter Crunch (demo out now) sold, it appears folks are into their big holiday retail titles at the moment. Admit it, you're playing Uncharted 2 for the third time right now. Check out the full PSN update after the break.

No, no, time for Oddworld.
Lars @ Oct 23rd 2009 2:17PM
Wait... does that mean "no no... Time for Oddword!" or does it mean "No time for Oddworld."
And what the hell is with the Beatles DLC? Where's all the songs individually? I got some free for pre-ordering, so I want to buy the rest (and not the pack since I already have some). WTF? I mean, REALLY... WTF?
DoctorFuManchu @ Oct 23rd 2009 12:16AM
Hot pocket's theme, WTF.
Lambrick @ Oct 23rd 2009 1:55AM
hot fucking pockets.

hahah...that sh1t is so bad for your arteries.
SpyderTaco (PSN: Ar4chNova89) @ Oct 22nd 2009 8:21PM
I never thought this time would come...
Of course it has to happen on the ONLY week I don`t have money on my PSN account. Great, just great.
Oh well, I`ll just have to pick up a PSN card with BORDERLANDS!!! tomorrow.
Veign06 @ Oct 22nd 2009 8:23PM
Half minute hero $10 more to download...glad I waited for nothing. I can get it at Amazon for $27.99 + i have an eca discount and free shipping. Glad to see some good support for the PSP go, you get to pay more for old and new games...YAY! Go fuck yourself on that one.
David Black @ Oct 22nd 2009 8:49PM
It's a typo. And in case you haven't noticed, the ECA discount is not working until further notice.
Veign06 @ Oct 23rd 2009 1:24AM
Not sure whats up with the reply system.
Actually if you have code, they still work. Also, if you email CS, they will credit you the amount of the discount b/c they are not working.
SolidSnakeX @ Oct 23rd 2009 8:31AM
Joel the Director of TRINE-from Frozenbyte is a disgrace for even trying to release the game over here-Why you ask--> no Online means I won't buy it All I can say is this to the Gamer Developers damn you all to hell for not supporting Online COOP I mean seriously what the hell do you take us for? Or are you people stupid douche bags it sure looks like it to me Con artists at work-You charge what for this game?..$20.00 SCREW YOU!!!! I waited for this game months and then you rip us all off with this shitty price then to top that off no Online support?..Da hell with you Sony and FrozenByte Software!
David Black @ Oct 23rd 2009 3:04PM
Thanks for that tip Veign06. I just joined recently so I haven't been able to use a code yet. I'll call CS and see if they can help.
sony boy (6 years til sony man child!) @ Oct 22nd 2009 8:26PM
half-minute hero is supposed to be 30 bucks. WTF!!!!
David Black @ Oct 22nd 2009 8:48PM
It's a typo. It actually is 30 bucks in the PS store.
Shadow_Modder @ Oct 22nd 2009 8:26PM
I'm getting Trine. Also, the Uncharted comic, and probably Lumines Supernova.
Does anyone know what the Lumines add-on are? Just skins, other modes or challenges?
Shadow_Modder @ Oct 22nd 2009 8:50PM
Heh, just skins. Oh well, I remember I downloaded the Holiday pack when it was free, so no need for the other.
Lunastra78 (PSN: lunastra78) @ Oct 22nd 2009 9:57PM
Damn it's hard to get all the trophies for that game. I gave up on it after failing horribly at some of the harder trophies...
Sly @ Oct 22nd 2009 8:28PM
the PS3 link goes to last week's update...
Sly @ Oct 22nd 2009 8:31PM
also: the PSP update was fantastic. that combined with the ratchet & clank demo, the critter crunch demo, trine, and the oddworlds make this a great PSN update overall.
Sly @ Oct 22nd 2009 10:30PM
ok, cool, they fixed it.
Taiko Drum Grandmaster @ Oct 22nd 2009 8:28PM
There's some GREAT stuff here this week.
OFF TO PLAY ARMORED CORE 3 PORTABLE. Hope it's better than front, that game was garbage.
Kevin @ Oct 22nd 2009 8:32PM
Confirming that Half Minute Hero is $40 on PSN. Just checked it now.
Not gonna buy it unless the price is dropped. I'll pay the same price for convenience, $10 more is a rip off.
Veign06 @ Oct 22nd 2009 8:35PM
Yep, same here...even though I could get it for $25 after a discount and free prime shipping. I waited a week for it to come out on PSN and they do this bullshit? Hopefully it's an error, but it doesn't surprise me at all.
David Black @ Oct 22nd 2009 8:50PM
Go into the PS Store again. The price has been fixed as it is now showing 29.99
Kevin @ Oct 22nd 2009 9:07PM
10 minutes remaining on download :)
Wardo @ Oct 22nd 2009 8:33PM
Probably just the first episode of the Uncharted comic for me.
I've really lost any interest in Trine I once had thanks to its multiple delays, I could care less now.
Justin @ Oct 23rd 2009 4:33PM
Yeah, damn quality assurance! Would've much rather had a bug ridden game.
Geist @ Oct 23rd 2009 7:51AM
No, you "COULDN'T" care less.
If you could care less, that implies you care about it.
Argh why do people do this.
Fane [A-MF Brigade] @ Oct 24th 2009 5:54PM
@ Geist
Thanks. I usually have to be the one that corrects that error. Grammar police unite!
Traceur_Ryuk [All Digital until December] (PSN: Ryuk_shinigami) @ Oct 22nd 2009 8:34PM
Hopefully the Critter Crunch demo will pull in some sales.
Traceur_Ryuk [All Digital until December] (PSN: Ryuk_shinigami) @ Oct 22nd 2009 8:35PM
Oh and Hot Pockets PS3 Theme FTW
scratch @ Oct 22nd 2009 10:07PM
yeah i lol'd at that too. three of them!
critter crunch and ratchet and clank demos for sure. oh and uncharted comic (playing that now). have to talk to the wife about trine. i think wed have fun playing it together, if our daughter (15 months) would ever let us...
Fullmetal Salchemist @ Oct 22nd 2009 10:17PM
HELLS FREAKIN' YEAH! Finally. My most anticipated release of this year was the Hot Pockets wallpaper.
Agathos @ Oct 22nd 2009 8:42PM
What is Armored Core 3 Portable!? Why haven't I heard of it... if it's a true AC game and not the formula front style game I'll buy now, but I can't recall seeing or hearing any news on this...
Any feedback or reviews on this?
Reuben @ Oct 22nd 2009 8:46PM
Word on the PS Blog is that they fixed the price of Half Minute Hero
slashez @ Oct 22nd 2009 11:47PM
EVERYONE ATTENTION: Half Minute Hero for PSP pricing was fixed just now like 8:48 pm Eastern Time it is now $29.99 to match UMD retail price
BLipp18 @ Oct 22nd 2009 8:53PM
rockstar also has their own store front now, "rockstar Store", and the minute i saw it i thought of the obvious misnaming of "madagaskarts" and thought of "RockStore"
johnnynumber5 @ Oct 22nd 2009 8:54PM
Crimson Gem Saga for $14.99 is a DAMN good deal.
Oh and when I clicked the PS3 link outside the article it took me to last weeks listing.
About to download Trine right now ... hope it was worth the wait.
David Black @ Oct 22nd 2009 8:55PM
They also released 2 new minis this week: Vempire for $5 and Mahjongg Artifacts 2 for $4.
Now why the hell wouldn't they include those in the release? Sometimes I really wonder how competent the folks at SCEA who run the PS Store are....
Reuben @ Oct 22nd 2009 9:01PM
None.
None more competent.
SolidSnakeX @ Oct 23rd 2009 8:37AM
There stupid idiots LMAO! Hell they can't even keep up with the rest of the world.. But the demos I think they need to have for new releases at least 8 Demos like what it was in August now its to few...=(
tmacairjordan87 @ Oct 22nd 2009 8:59PM
Meh, just the Ratchet and Clank demo for me (2.4 gigs too, guess I won't be playing it until tomorrow...thanks ps3 download times!). Nothing else particularly interesting.
Orchard Pear @ Oct 22nd 2009 9:04PM
Should take me 20 minutes at the most.
Though I think I'm one of the lucky ones blessed with ridiculously good PSN download speeds.
fundando @ Oct 22nd 2009 9:06PM
My stuff downloads really quick as well.
johnnynumber5 @ Oct 22nd 2009 9:17PM
Yeah I'm on the dreaded slow wi-fi people complain of and that demo will take me no more than 25-30 minutes. I've got it in line but right now Trine is finishing up.
tmacairjordan87 @ Oct 22nd 2009 9:18PM
That's all well and nice, but 20 people telling me they have fast download speeds doesn't do anything to make mine not suck ass.
My 360 downloads at incredible speeds though. Took maybe 40 minutes tops to download Mass Effect when I did, and that was over 6 gigs. Would have took all day on ps3.
eNrique @ Oct 22nd 2009 9:35PM
http://www.joystiq.com/2009/02/03/mtv-teams-up-with-mega-man-to-compare-console-download-speeds/
Just saying.
ZaxCG2 @ Oct 22nd 2009 10:26PM
"Nothing else particularly interesting."
You can't be serious, can you. DIDN'T YOU SEE!?
Hot Pockets PS3 Theme!! EVERY GAMER'S DREAM IS COMPLETE.
I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS DOWNLOAD TO FINISH.
Sly @ Oct 22nd 2009 10:57PM
took me around 20-30 minutes. it went by fast since i was playing uncharted 2.
tmacairjordan87 @ Oct 22nd 2009 11:13PM
Oh ok, so because mtv tested it on 1 game it's universal then...the ps3 is faster.
God I hate fanboys, specially Sony ones lately.
