[MrKirov]

Went to purphase Theme Hospital for ?2.39, then found that I have to put a minimum of ?5 in my "wallet". Wtf?? Theres nothing else I want!!

[Strider]

that's a;ways been a standard thing. I'm guessing it's similar where the vast majority of shops won't accept card unless you pay at least a fiver (as they get charged).

I don't even know if this can be even considered an update, barely anything new there.

[huxley]

Where the heck are the classic PSOne games the rest of the world have had for the best part of a year?
SCEE Suck donkey balls!

[Darwock]

Well look on the bright side, europe finally got the Lumines Holiday pack! Except they have to pay for it whereas everyone else in the world got it for free...

[JamesS]

The PSP stuff is terrible this week. They released a brand new download-only PSP just three weeks ago, and already we're down to "Cover Girl" and "Yeti Sports Pengu Throw" as the only new game releases. Brilliant.

Yeah.

How much was the Classic Pack originally? I'm hoping it will work out technically free if you get the bundle, if not I might well leave it. Trying not to support the UK getting the shaft where possible (Never did pick up Fat Princess because of it, but I crumbled on Trine).

That's very poor and a rather bad sign. They should be hitting the PSN hard with PSP stuff right now and yet, after a fairly hefty update on the Go's release, we're already back to dripfeeding the dregs.

[Darwock]

You're right actually, the classic pack is up there at the moment for the same price as the bundle. Sucks for the people who already bought it though.

Wow, this is pretty poor all round.

The PSP update is pretty bad but then they sprinkle paid for Lumines DLC that was free on all other stores almost 12 months ago and it really takes the piss.

[Brad]

To be fair, if you're going to pick a week to have a poor PSN update then the week that Uncharted 2 gets released is probably good timing!

Still, Cover Girl sounds great:

Specially designed for active young women, Cover Girl is a digital friend that adds a touch of glamour to your busy day-to-day. Elaborated in collaboration with professional female writers, Cover Girl provides qualitative and interesting content which you customise. You decide the content of your magazine in accordance with your desires and interests :

Get your daily dose of fresh air with funny facts on love & men, life tips, mini-games, horoscopes and tarot reading, fashion trends…

Play addictive & fun mini-games to have fun any time of the day

Discover unique & fun tools like the Sex-o-Meter, Manlation (a fun translator for explaining male behavior), a size converter for shoes and clothes…

Definitely makes up for Dissidia not being up yet.

[BaudAttitude]

I'm hoping that they're holding a lot of content back until the Go launches in Japan on 1 November, so they can start doing concurrent releases across all three territories. Probably a vain hope, though.

I'd imagine getting the PAL 50 treatment so that we can all relive the bastard framerate and cropping all over again. Ah nostalgia!
