Playstation Store Updates Only

Holy ****! That is a great update.

Critter Crunch looks like a bargain at that price and the Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness price shows that digital distribution can have it's upsides as it's a steal for £11.99 (you're looking at prices of £25 or more for a second hand copy).

Anyone who wants MGS buy it tonight. Good PSone classics have a habit of disappearing off the EU store after a couple of days.

[The Glider]

I'll be purchasing Critter Crunch definitely.

[Sketcz]

Is MGS on the US store? Because I'd rather not have borders and 50Hz shenanigans... Or was MGS optimised in PAL land? I imported it from day one so don't know.

[Dogg Thang]

Yep, it's on the US store. I don't know about optimisation though.

Resident Evil 2 up on US store for $5.99. Just grabbed it myself now in case that price is a mistake ("premium" PSone classics are normally $9.99).

[fahrenheit]

^ And Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver.

Both of those are going to be difficult to pass up for me.

Here is the update from the US Store from the US Playstation Blog

No new full PSP games at all this week... Goddammit Sony!

[Dogg Thang]

Well there's Assassin's Creed but that's been up since Tuesday. Two great PS1 games though.

[abigsmurf]

So good I played through them on the PS1 ¬¬

LBP isn't on the US store.

And I'm very curious as to why and, possibly more importantly, how it impacts on those versions released. They seem to have said there was a problem with the game found and it has been delayed until they fix that problem. But I can't imagine the game they were going to put up on the US PSN is any different to the UMD release. And, while it's certainly possible, would it be different enough from the European version that one has a problem preventing release and the other doesn't?

With the reports of game-breaking bugs in the level editor, I have to wonder if there's a fix going to the US PSN version. Total speculation on my part of course.

I did try the demo though and it plays very like the PS3 version, for better or worse. Definitely has the same charm.

Edit: Apparently there's already a patch for the UMD version out.

[abigsmurf]

Apparently the next (US) PSN update will be Tuesday because of thanksgiving.

Hoping they use it as an excuse for a major sale. I want Persona but I don't want to pay $39.99 (Atlus seem to be the worst offender for high pricing on the US store)

[Number45]

UK PSN is updating Tuesday as well. Gravity Crash for the PS3 is confirmed as going up that day.

I really should read more than just the last post
