Playstation Store Updates Only

[C']

Not a bad update for new year I guess. 3 PSone classics (albiet only one of any genuine worth) is a vast improvement which may be a sign of good things to come for those of you not able/willing to purchase from the US store and a decent number of PSP games although again very little of genuine worth there so can only hope it's a sign of SCEE really pushing in this area.

Lunar demo would be interesting but I'm going to get that game anyway so a demo would just spoil it. Other than that, laughably poor update.

OMG new colours for some cars!!!!!!

[Family Fry]

Just to let you know about the Lunar demo. When you clear the demo, you are able to save a clear data and with it you will be able to unlock some stuff in the retail game.

[abigsmurf]

May cheat and download a cleared save. Don't really want to play through a section lasting an hour or two twice.

[Dogg Thang]

A heads-up as I just noticed myself - Silent Hill Shattered Memories for PSP is up on the US store now at $29.99. I haven't got it myself yet as I haven't got any credit but I'll get it soon. Hoping it's good.

[Family Fry]

I started a first play on it for Wii, was my game of the year. PSP version is apparently a good conversion only review I have seen is 1UP and they rated it C+ on PSP.

[abigsmurf]

Tempted by Silent Hill. Enjoyed Origins despite it lacking in creativity but it at least shows the console is good for horror

Oh boy, if you thought last week's EU update was bad... XD
